Pull ups are one of the best workouts bar none. They engage a series of muscles that is rivaled by no other excersise...including planks...which are very underrated. Here's what you do...first buy a pull up bar from Amazon..you can get one for under 25 dollars...and it will pay for itself in no time...

Start with 50 pullups a day. 200 pushups and 200 squats. When you achieve this goal...send me a pm and I'll have you looking like Hulk Hogan in a few months....

50 pullups a day is overtraining. The arms would hurt the 3rd or 4th day. Best to allow your body to rest

There's many other factors not being mentioned...if the person in question is significantly overweight...then yeah 50 pullups may be a bit much...but I'm not saying to do 50 pullups in one set...just 50 for the day....so 5 sets of 10 reps...or for beginners...10 sets of 5 reps...or he could even do one at a time...just to get in the rhythm...

I can assure you 50 pullups for an entire day is absolutely intermediate...and a good start for someone trying to begin a regimen worthwhile.

I was up to 1000 pullups a day...starting with 50 a day by 2 weeks...and getting them done in under 2 hours.

But again...listen to your body. You want to do whatever you can until FAILURE. Make sure to keep a log...whatever you reach...try to do at least 3-5 more the next day.
