You do not need a commercial gym to learn pull-ups at home. With a solid doorway pull up bar (door gym), you can build strength in a Pakistani apartment using short daily sessions.
Gear you need
- A trustworthy doorway pull up bar / Gym Bar Pro
- Solid interior door frame
- 10–15 minutes, 3–5 days per week
Beginner progression (no ego)
Week 1–2: Dead hangs + scapular pulls Hang with straight arms. Relax shoulders, then pull shoulder blades down without bending elbows. 3 sets of 8–10 scapular pulls.
Week 3–4: Slow negatives Jump to the top, lower for 3–5 seconds. Build control before full reps.
Week 5+: First pull-up attempts Focus on full hang → chest toward bar → controlled lower.
Sample 15-minute door gym workout
- Dead hang — 20–40 sec × 3
- Scapular pulls — 8–12 × 3
- Chin-up or pull-up attempts — 5 total quality reps

Form mistakes to avoid
