In Singapore, it is part of the Physical Fitness Test and one should obtain at least 4 pull ups to attain a pass (dependent on the age). For National Service, more emphasis was made for this exercise and they includes alot of exercises that improves the arm power of males.
Many people regard it as a 'tough exercise.' I agree in my own accord. In secondary one, I actually failed my pull up, scoring nil for it. However, for secondary two, I did 6 pull ups. This was achievable through other exercises such as push-ups, weight lifting, hanging on the bar and swimming.
Pull ups definitely need time and training to achieve it. My peers in the army, consistently tried their best to break the egg in pull ups. And through three months of vigorous training, they managed to not only cleared a pass, but obtained 8 pull ups in the physical fitness test. This sheer determination really paid them off.
I have also heard alot of Singaporeans, especially those about to enter the National Service, trained hard for their physical fitness a month before they enter. This should not be the wise choice. In fact, what I recommend is that everyone should make pull up as part of their lifestyle. This not only can help them to maintain part of their fitness, they are able to have better results as time passes. Consistent effort brings confidence and great results!
Quite a few of my friends have pull up bars at home. However, they all have the similarity. Firstly, they all never fail their pull ups and secondly, they are well-built. Another important point is that their pull up bars are all drilled onto the door frames. This actually prevented me from getting one in my house because I do not like drilling and it is quite messy. It involves measurement, nails, accuracy and once it is fixed, it has to be at that height.
I chanced upon this adjustable pull up bar, upon meeting up at my client's place. And I am really amazed by its simplicity! It serves the same use but it has more!! It is reliable, adjustable and easy to set up! So convenient and I really achieved my aim of getting one pull up bar at my house.
I find it benefitted me alot and serve this website as a means to spread the awareness!
