Try this on for size!

Exercise: Chin-ups (can be any exercise)

Current maximum reps: 10

Let us say that you’ve been stuck on 10 pull-ups forever. No matter what you do, you just can’t increase your max. Here’s the program:

Take half your maximum reps (in this case, that’d be 5) and perform this many reps at least three times per day, then take one day off each week. After a month, I'd bet my 401(k) you can do more chinups..

Classic, sage advice.

Think I'll link this over on Twitter.

More of these please, Coach!

Makes sense to me!

I'm game and will try it out.
