Push-ups/Pull-ups
Hi, im currently trying to raise my pull-ups(which are about 5 or 6 right now) to at least 8, maybe 10.
I would also like to raise my max push-ups in 2 minutes to 52(currently about 40 now)
I read that pyramidding is the best method of doing this. I understand the general idea of it like do 5-10-15-20-25-20-15-10-5 push-ups, but i'm not sure how many push-ups/pull-ups I should do? Could anyone give me any advice on this? Or any other methods that would work better to raise my max pull-ups and 2 minutes pushups?
Thanks!

Just do a lot of push ups and pull ups almost daily. When I used to wrestle we did pushups like crazy 5-6 days per week. My ability to do pushups went through the roof.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

I've been playing with this basic workout for a couple of months and have noticed very good gains in strength, size, and endurance. The push-up/pull-up exercises work for me because of a shoulder problems. They don't cause the pain that bench presses do.

I wouldn't start at week 1. Figure out where you are and go from there.
