Improve Your Pull-Up Performance
Federal law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI, have added pull-ups to the special agent candidate fitness test.
Beginning in November 2025, the FBI will require special agent candidates to perform pull-ups as part of their graded physical fitness exam.
Throughout the military, pull-ups are a tested exercise in many branches of service, including the Marines and special ops members of the Navy, Army, and Air Force.
The FBI has also removed situps from its fitness test, similar to many military branches.
A workout is recommended for those trying to do their first pull-up or improve their single-digit pull-up max into the double-digit range (10+)
