The Commodon of the Marine Corps held a town hall on February 12th with Marines in the National Capital Region. During the town hall, a pull-up program was mentioned that could help anyone do more pull-ups no matter where their starting point was. Major Misty Posey, the Plains Officer for Manpower Integration, has been developing this program to help Marines go from zero to twenty pull-ups. It does not take months and months and months to learn a pull-up. It does not take a year or two to learn a pull-up. It's nonsense. I haven't met someone yet that I haven't been able to train to do a pull-up. The biggest issue with increasing pull-up count is a lack of information available. But Posey's program brings light to this situation. So if you are struggling with either learning or improving your pull-ups, the main takeaway would be that you're stronger than you think. And you can absolutely learn and improve pull-ups in a relatively short amount of time. You just need the right tools. The program allows anyone to learn or increase their pull-up count with easy step-by-step instructions. The tips might seem overly simple and you might doubt that they work because they are so simple, but just because a problem may seem big or impossible, it doesn't mean that the solution has to be complex. So keep at it. Try these techniques, see if they work for you and I would love to hear your feedback. And if you have something that works better, I'd like to know about it. Posey's main goal for her program and research is to reach and benefit male and female Marines across the core. Reporting from Quantico, Virginia, I'm Corporal Aria Herrera.
