Squeeze a tennis ball as well. The wrist muscles are essential for maintaining the grip as it used to be the case that when you dropped off; the war, for you, was over. No doubt H and Doc will tell you some other interesting methods for strengthening the wrist :o

Hey,

The fitness program in the green training booklet should be sufficient enough to build up your pullups. 3 sets of them after your run, and just do a set whenever you pass your pullup bar on a training day. I went from 3 sketchy ones to being able to knock about 10 out fresh. It's all about repetition really.

If you want to mix it up you could try pyramid workouts as with the pressups and even low reps, high sets (doing an easy amount but constant sets with short rests till you are knackered)

Try doing inclind pull-up sit on the floor with a bar about a meter high and pull your self up chin over the bar and then back down. Add this to any circuit training you do. Don't stop doing full pull-up you should improve prity fast.
