NOTE: All workouts should be done after a proper warm-up.

Women's Workouts the Pull-up: Hang and Press

Another often over looked aspect of pull up strength is grip strength, meaning can you actually hold your own body weight. If you can't you won't be able to do a pull up. Train your grip strength by hanging on a pull up bar by both hands with your arms extended. Do this for time.  Set a goal to build up to 1:00 min or more.

Press: Specifically overhead press.  All muscles and movements have antagonist muscle groups, you are only as strong as your weakest muscle. You can build strength by pressing over head, see exercise descriptions for over head press. If you know how to do handstands you can do a handstand against the wall and hold for time.
