//// PULLUP REVOLUTION™: REPS AND SETS
REPS AND SETS: A GENERAL GUIDELINE
Reps and sets are a way to track progress with your training. This is a general guide. Programs will vary depending
on your specific needs, goals, off-season or in-season, experience, etc.
AS A GENERAL GUIDELINE TO START:
» 8-10 repetitions for 2-3 sets when training for strength (moderate to heavy resistance with focus on proper form and control)
» 4-6 repetitions for 3-5 sets when training for power (moderate resistance with increase in speed of movement)
PROPER FORM
When trying movements for the first time, use less resistance with the goal of being able to perform all movements
without breaking form. Do not push through or ignore aches and pains as you perform any movement.
ADDITIONAL EXERCISES:

programs with exclusive online tools.
PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE
Progressive resistance is a concept that states you should
be able to lift more weight or do more repetitions each
time you perform an exercise. As you progress through
any training phase, increase the resistance when
your prescribed repetitions decrease. When the
prescribed repetitions increase, decrease the
resistance accordingly. You may also need
to adjust your repetitions, sets, and
resistance if you are not seeing
improvements in your goals.

//// PULLUP REVOLUTION™: ASSEMBLY
HOW TO INSTALL THE PULLUP REVOLUTION
To install the Pullup Revolution, snap the black buckle over the center
of your fixed pull-up bar, shown in figure 1. Make sure you can reach and
grip your pull-up bar with one foot on the ground.
Using the Pullup Revolution on bars that are out of standing reach is
dangerous and should never be attempted. If your pullup bar is out
of standing reach, lower it to a safe height or use a sturdy platform that
cannot slip or tip over to compensate.
Always check with the manufacturer of your pull-up bar to ensure using
the Pullup Revolution will not cause the bar to fail or become dislodged
before using the system.

HOW TO ADJUST THE PULLUP REVOLUTION
Once the Pullup Revolution is secured to your pullup bar, adjust the foot stirrup height by pressing the
steel buckle and pulling the high-density support strap, shown in figure 2. Always adjust the stirrup
so that it is as close to touching the floor as possible before using it. As you raise the height of the
foot stirrup, the assistance level increases. As you lower the height of the foot stirrup, the assistance
decreases. You can also reduce resistance by safely removing the center cable, stretching it from one end
and pulling it up through the cable pocket channel. NEVER use only one cable.
When the foot stirrup is set to the maximum height of 3 feet, the Pullup Revolution provides about 33 lbs
of assistance per cable. If you’re using all three cables this is equivalent to just over 100 lbs.
To avoid overstretching the cables, NEVER adjust the foot stirrup higher than 3 feet from the ground.
Doing so will cause premature cable wear and could cause the cables to fail. If you find you require
additional assistance, upgrade to heavier cables by visiting LifelineUSA.com. Pullup Revolution features
the patented 3-in-1 Cable Pocket, which allows cables to be swapped or upgraded as you progress.
It is always a good idea to place a protective pad on the floor, under your pullup bar to prevent or
minimize chance of injury.

//// PULLUP REVOLUTION™: USAGE
SKLZ.com
BASIC USAGE OF THE PULLUP REVOLUTION
The Pullup Revolution is a training tool designed to
allow users to practice and train up to unassisted
bar exercises from basic pull-ups to advanced bar
moves made popular in the streets of New York City.
By offsetting some of the weight your muscles must
support, the Pullup Revolution allows you to spend
more time on your pull-up bar before your muscles
fatigue. This translates into longer, more effective
workouts that will get you into great shape.

//// PULLUP REVOLUTION™: EXERCISES
BALANCING YOUR WORKOUTS TO COMBAT MUSCLE IMBALANCE
It is important to work and develop your muscles evenly. Muscle imbalances in the body can cause minor
or severe pain, as well as promote unnatural movement and posture habits that can lead to injury. Muscle
imbalances also create inefficiency in the body that actually reduces functional strength.
There are two basic muscle movements you’ll use to balance your body; pulling movements and pushing
movements. Pulling exercises are always paired with pushing exercises. This simple rule will help you develop
more balanced results faster!
Balance Tip:
When an exercise isolates just the right or left side of your body, always work both sides evenly by doing the
same number of reps on each side. Do this by working your weaker side first and matching, not exceeding,
the number of reps you do on your stronger side.
