EXERCISE: Muscle-Building 5-Day Workout Routine with Only a Pull-Up Bar

EXERCISE: Muscle-Building 5-Day Workout Routine with Only a Pull-Up Bar

Sure. Here’s your 5-day exercise routine:

Day 1: Pull-Up Perfection (x5)

Start your week with the basics. Perform five sets of pull-ups, aiming for 5-8 reps per set.

This will target your
back, biceps, and shoulders.

If you can't do full pull-ups yet, try negative pull-ups, where you jump to the top position and lower yourself slowly.



Gradually, you'll build the strength to do full pull-ups. Remember, form is crucial!

Day 2: Push-Up Power (x4)

Give your upper body a balanced workout. Do four sets of push-ups, aiming for 10-15 reps per set.

Push-ups work your
chest, triceps, and shoulders.


Mix it up with incline and decline push-ups to target different muscle groups.

Add a backpack with some books for extra resistance if you're feeling adventurous.

Day 3: Leg Day (x3)

Yes, you can work your legs with a pull-up bar!

Three sets of hanging leg raises (10-15 reps) will hit your abs, hip flexors, and obliques.

Follow it up with pistol squats, a one-legged squat variation that'll work your quads, hamstrings, and glutes.

Aim for three sets of 8-10 reps per leg.

And here are my recommendations for your pistol squat workout:



Day 4: Dips & Rows (x4)

Use your pull-up bar for dips and inverted rows. Four sets of dips (10-12 reps) will blast your triceps and chest.

For inverted rows, lay on your back beneath the bar, grab it with an overhand grip, and pull your chest towards it.

This exercise will engage your back muscles. Again, aim for 10-12 reps per set.

Day 5: Cardio & Core (x2)

Finish the week with a bang.

D
o a quick cardio session like jump rope or burpees for 20 minutes to get your heart rate up.

Then, hit your core with two sets of hanging knee raises (15-20 reps).

This will add the finishing touch to your muscle-building routine.

Remember, consistency is key. Over time, you'll see real progress in your strength and muscle definition.

And if you're ever feeling demotivated, just think about how Chris Hemsworth transformed into Thor for the Marvel movies using bodyweight exercises.

If he can do it, so can you!

So, give this 5-day pull-up bar workout routine a shot, and watch those gains roll in.
