Even the most basic up-and-down pull-ups have several different variations that you can switch between as you please. These different styles make use of slightly different muscles, meaning you may be better at 1 than the other. Some styles you can try include:  Standard style: Grab the bar with an overhand grip and keep your hands shoulder-width apart. Then, use slow, steady motions to bring your chest close to the bar. Neutral style: Grab 2 parallel bars that are between 1 and 2 ft (30 and 61 cm) apart, making sure the palms of your hands face each other. Then, pull yourself up until your chest is as level with the bars as possible.  Chin up style: Grab a bar with an underhand grip and keep your hands about a shoulder-width apart. Then, slowly squeeze your biceps to bring your chin closer to the bar. Negative pull-ups are basically the second half of an actual pull up: start with your chin above the bar and your chest as close to the bar as possible, then lower yourself down as slowly as you can. These are less intense than full pull-ups, so try using them as a warm-up exercise to get you ready for the real deal. Make sure you start at the "up" position every time. Every time you start a new workout session, remember how many pull-ups you did last time and aim to do at least 1 more this time. Though it may seem impossible to accomplish when you feel tired and exhausted, push yourself and keep trying until you literally can’t hold onto the bar any longer.  In addition to your individual workout goal, try setting a long-term pull-up goal for extra motivation. You don’t have to measure your success in full pull-ups! If you find yourself struggling, try to do another half or quarter pull up each time. Though changing your form or techniques can make the process easier, dedication is the only sure-fire way to reach your pull up goals. The more you practice, the stronger you'll get and, ultimately, the more reps you'll be able to do. For a balanced yet focused pull-up regimen, try doing 3 or 4 sets of pull-ups between 2 and 3 times per week. To give your arm and back muscles time to rest, make sure to take at least 1 day off between pull up sessions. If you’d like, use this time to work on your core or lower body.

Summary: Vary the type of pull up you do. Add negative pull-ups to your routine. Aim to do 1 more pull up during each workout. Perform your pull up routine 2 to 3 times a week.


Talk to her friends and family if you already have an established relationship. If you have never spoken to them before, you may need to take extra time to establish a new dynamic. Always be respectful when you speak to anyone in her circle as it will reflect on you later.  You can also be direct and open as to why you are talking to them; however, know that they may quickly tell her or pass their own judgement and refuse to help you. Don’t lie about who you are. Be honest about everything because if she finds out that she, or anyone in her close circle, has been manipulated then you will have blown your chance. Her friends and family are her first line of defence so it is important to put your best foot forward whenever you speak to them. Don’t be rude or awkward as this can quickly be exaggerated when they talk to her about you. If she is in a different social circle, find common ground to get your foot in the door. Endear yourself to the members so that you get invited to one of their activities or to help ease your transition into their circle. People can tell if you are trying to put on pretense. It will take a lot of energy to keep up a charade so don’t even bother trying to manufacture yourself into someone you think her family or friends may think is good for her. She also won’t appreciate that you think you have to go through such lengths to get to know her. Make sure you have established a comfortable dynamic where you know them well enough that it doesn’t feel awkward to ask. You don’t want to ask too early and have her family be defensive or her girlfriend think that you are making conversation with her because you like her, and have her feel embarrassed after you ask about her friend. You also don’t want to ask a male friend and have it turn out to be her boyfriend. Say something nonchalant similar to, “So what’s Kimmy’s Story?” This keeps things ambiguous so it doesn’t seem like you’re asking for yourself.

Summary: Be discreet. Make a good impression. Be yourself and be confident in your own skin. Ask her friends and family if she is single.
