Why Pull Days Matter

A great physique is built on balance — and pull days are where strength and symmetry meet.
This Pull Workout focuses on all your major pulling muscles: lats, traps, rhomboids, rear delts, and biceps.
Whether your goal is strength, hypertrophy, or athletic performance, this routine will help you build thickness, improve posture, and boost pulling power.

Before you start, make sure to do a full-body dynamic stretch. Warm up your joints, activate your core, and get your blood flowing — preparation is half the battle.

Warm-Up & Rep Strategy

Begin with two warm-up sets at about 50% of your working weight.
This primes your nervous system and joints for performance while reducing injury risk.

Your main sets should challenge you — aim for 10–15 reps.
If you can perform more than that, it’s time to go heavier.
For strength-focused lifters, 6–8 reps per set deliver maximum results.

Post-Workout: Recovery & Stretch

Finish your session with 15 minutes of passive stretching.
Prioritize:

  • Hamstrings

  • Lower Back

  • Lats

  • Biceps

  • Shoulders

Stretching improves circulation, reduces soreness, and promotes faster recovery.

Pro Tips from WazFlex Coaches

✅ Keep your rest periods between 60–90 seconds for hypertrophy.
✅ Use controlled tempo — lift with intention, not momentum.
✅ Progressively overload — small increases build long-term strength.
✅ Fuel up with lean protein and complex carbs post-workout for recovery.

Science Behind Pull Training

Studies published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research show that multi-joint pulling movements like rows and deadlifts activate high-threshold motor units essential for both strength and muscle growth.
Combining these with isolation movements like curls ensures complete muscular activation and balanced development across all upper body pulling muscles.
