Pull-Up Blueprint Training Program
Tactical Pull-Up Progression Program
Phase-Based System to Build Max Pull-Up Strength, Endurance & Durability Under Load
π Program Overview:
This 15 week/40+ session program is built specifically for tactical professionals who rely on upper-body strength and endurance in the field β military operators, law enforcement officers, wildland firefighters, SWAT members, and special operations candidates.
Itβs designed to take you from wherever youβre at β 2 pull-ups or 20 β and drive repeatable progress through structured phases that prioritize:
Max-effort strength
Volume tolerance
Grip & core durability
Operational resilience (under fatigue, load, and stress)
Whether you're preparing for a PFT, selection course, or real-world mission requirements, this program delivers results through repeatable progression, deliberate recovery, and purposeful stress.
π What This Program Builds:
Pull-up strength under load (vests, gear, kit)
Repeatable sub-max performance (for testing or field volume)
Strong grip + hanging endurance (for walls, rope climbs, over-bar work)
Scapular control + shoulder durability (to reduce strain/fatigue)
Tactical readiness β not just gym performance
π Program Phases:
Phase 1: Base Strength & Motor Control (6 sessions)
Goal: Build a solid foundation β scapular mechanics, strict ROM, positional strength
Focus on strict form and movement integrity
Introduce tempo, eccentric control, and basic grip work
Phase 2: Strength-Endurance Development (6 sessions)
Goal: Increase rep efficiency and stamina without sacrificing form
Moderate-to-high volume work
Mechanical advantage methods (chin-ups, band assists, ladders)
Strategic fatigue pairing with rows, curls, and hanging holds
Phase 3A: Weighted Work & Capacity Peaking (8 sessions)
Goal: Drive neural output, increase top-end strength, and reinforce fatigue resilience
Weighted pull-ups, contrast sets, and cluster-style volume
Bar speed and isometric hold development
Emphasis on grip fatigue and trunk stabilization
Phase 3B: Peaking + Test Execution (6 sessions)
Goal: Sharpen the nervous system, taper volume, and simulate test-day conditions
Low-volume, high-quality work
Contrast training, banded speed sets, and dead hangs
One dedicated max-rep test day under full control
Ideal for week 16β18 of the cycle
Reload Cycle: Plateau Breaker (18 sessions)
Goal: For athletes who plateaued or want to retest from a stronger base
Rebuilds strength and rep quality from the top down
Includes weighted exposure, contrast sets, and grip-core emphasis
Tactical-friendly: Farmer carries, sled drags, rope work
Phased taper and re-test session at Week 6
π οΈ What You Need:
Pull-up bar or rings (stable outdoor bar works fine)
Optional: weight vest, bands, towel or rope (for grip variants), rings, DBs/barbell for rows, conditioning implement
Timer or interval clock
Recovery strategy: at least 7 hours sleep, hydration, and recovery days respected.
π Frequency & Flow:
3 sessions per week minimum (4 optional during Reload)
Sessions range from 30β45 minutes, including warm-up + cooldown
Each phase progresses from controlled intensity to higher output
Reload phase can be used as a standalone cycle, or to restart the entire system with new baselines
We will give you examples of how you should layout a 7 Day week with these sessions thrown in.
π¨ This Is Not Just a Pull-Up Program
Itβs a tactical readiness protocol disguised as a pull-up system.
If your life or mission depends on your ability to lift, hang, pull, climb, and perform under load β this program makes sure your pulling strength shows up when it matters most.
