. Can anyone give me advice on how to train for my pullups so that i can get a silver for my NAPFA and avoid the two extra months of NS? -
From my own experience, you just have to keep on doing.
Go to your neighbourhood park or anywhere with pull up bars and keep on doing.. at frist do 2.. thn push for 3 then 4 then 5 and so on....
If you can get someone to support yr leg it will be better -

hold your legs and push you up... but of course you must try to pull yourself up lah.
I don't think you have much time left.... -
Go to one of these Natinal Sport Council operated Gym, only cost $2.50 per entry.
In there will be a trainer, you could tell him or her your problem , he or she might give some tips on how to train up upper body strength.
There are equipment there for someone like u to gradually improve on this, the best if you could get a buddy to go with u, so that both of u could help eachother to push further.
Try to go during office hour, less crowded. -

my advice...do more dipps and push-up it will helpo -
Personal view, not saying you are wrong but dips and push ups might not necessary help as you might be strenghtening the wrong muscle group u use for pull ups.Originally posted by c0ol_blu3z:my advice...do more dipps and push-up it will helpo -
Forget about push up or weights , they train different set of muscles. The only good way is to do and do your chin up.Originally posted by t88:im 17 this year and im quite skinny.

Everyday do it, jump up and pull and pull . even if it is 1/2 chin up it is something to start with. With lots of good practise, your muscle will increase. -
Go to gym more, do pull up and push up more and if u want fast effect, take creatine too...
bear in mind results dont come instantly and u need determination and perserverance -

If U r really that "weak" its better to do the extra two months. Better to condition ur body for more trainings ahead.

2 exercises you can do to improve pull-ups ( besides doing pull-ups themselves). These are:-Originally posted by t88:im 17 this year and im quite skinny.

1) Swim regularly ( 3 times a week for the next 2 months)
2) Do 2 sets of 30 push -ups each day. Once in the morning and once before bedtime
Before NS I achieved 11 to 15 push-ups... I did this training as described and within 6 months of NS I was achieving 22 push -ups. -
if you can only do 1/2 chin, then u just hang there at the 1/2 chin. try to hang for at least 30 seconds and to increase bit by bit.Originally posted by t88:e probelm is dat i can barely do 2 assisted pullups...max 20 pushups and 0 dips
Try doing at least 4-5sets. -
yea i agree with the half chins. they help build ur muscle endurance. Also trains your gripping strength.
Btw, goin for PTP during NS isn't bad at all..
Its fun..
