I am 73 yr old woman and I do banded pull-ups, inverted and some negative pull-ups every week. But this schedule will really help me get to be able to do them without assistance. When I was 60 I could do 6. Want to get back there and more. Thanks.
I did the exercise where you jump up and let yourself down slowly for about 2 months. I went from zero to three pull-ups. It works. 10 is my goal by the end of this year. Thanks for this video, Jeremy.

Try writing it on a notebook or your phone, I had the same problem until I thought in that solution. In fact I bought the notebooks in which you can write and then scan it with your phone.
I never normally never comment but this helped me go from 0 to 2 in a few WEEKS. I have been training my back since before I can remember but when i started to implement the kneeling lat pull downs and scap pulls, I saw tremendous improvement. If you need to get your reps up and fast, incorporate what he says into your workout schedule and you will see results.
What I learned: 1. The importance of kneeling pull downs, an exercise I have never done. 2.The unique advantages of the inverted pull up, an exercise I rarely do because of the availability of a cable rowing station. 3. The inherent disadvantage of the assisted pull up machine, a favorite of mine with beginner clients. That's Jeremy's knowledge quality in his videos.
For the 3 or something people seeing this, do not give up man, I have been working for an year on doing just one pull up and today I finally did my first 10 pull ups. I started out with barely being able to do 5 push ups and made my way up to doing the 100 push ups a day back in summer of 2020. I did try doing pull ups. After about 5 months I went out with a friend that was able to do 5-10 pull ups and when I tried i couldn't even come close to doing 1 rep. I began working hard and I really wanted to be as good as that friend. 3 months before my first pull up I wanted to prove to my dad that I'm serious and I can achive a goal. I bought a resistance band (35kg) and i could barely do 3 reps with it. After a couple of week of doing pull ups with the resistance band I just grabbed a bar and did a pull up with no problem. But I wasn't able to do more than one. I continued to work and after a couple more weeks of doing abs work out, push ups and pull ups (with resistance band) I was able to do 2 pull ups (doing them for normal reps, even tho my record was 5 and I couldn't do more than it.) After doing 2 reps of 10 sets every day for like 3-4 days I was able to do 3 reps of 10 sets and after 4-5 days ofthat I'm able to do 5 reps of 10 sets. Today I finally achived my goal of 10 pull ups (the other goal is a muscle up, but that would be a lot harder) So don't give up. Trust me. You got this.
@@oscareguia3971 took me about 2 years of training. Once you get the first one out of the way just do small sets of 1-2 reps with little rest like 20 sec between sets
Thanks for sharing your experience, it’s truly inspiring. After working for few months, I managed to get 1 now, I will continue to work towards 10. I’m 47 now. Cheers 🎉
I was very skeptical about following your content at first until I watched this video and decided to give it a try. In August 2020 I could barely get to 4 pull-ups. Now, January 2021, I am really pleased and happy to say I`ve gotten over 14 reps in a row just following the recommendations laid out in this workout! Thank you so much for providing such amazing tips and explanations for free to us, love from Brazil!
I can finally do 5 to 6 proper pull ups thanks to this workout. Thank you so much. In addition to this workout I also worked on improving my forearm strength with dead hangs and reverse curls which have contributed to better pull ups and heavier deadlifts.
My dude Jeremy! I watched this video almost 2 months ago and i could only do 1 proper pullup with correct form and 2 more but incorrect form. Been doing those negatives and scapular pullups 2x a week and now i could do 5 pullups with proper form! You are by far the best of the best here in youtube! Ive been watching other pullups from other channels but i just couldnt add more pullups. Your detailed explaination of doing pullups especially the 2 phases of pullups and pulling shoulders back and down made a huge difference! Thanks Jeremy!
This was surprisingly informative. Like wow. Good Complex information delivered quickly and with very little extra/anecdotal “This is how I was wrong” for 5 min. The entire video was solid info.
As a girl, after incorporating the movements in this video for 3 weeks training 1-3 times a week, I’m able to do 4 pull-ups in a row today! (Started with 0) Really happy about the progress and my goal is to be able to do 8 by EOY. It really helps me to build the strength I need for rock climbing/ bouldering!
This video is complete, easy to understand, and makes pull-ups accessible to anyone willing to put in the work. I’ve watched and read a lot on pull-up improvement, and this is the BEST video outlining an achievable program, supported by science, for pull-up improvement.

today i did 9 pull ups , i will start weighted pull ups when i reach 13 clean perfect pull ups this program is really working , 2 weeks ago i was doing 5 reps

Thank you so much, Jeremy! Today, at 40 years old, I achieved my first pull-up, and it's all thanks to your video. I started following your exercises just three weeks ago, doing them twice a week, and the progress has been astonishing. I never expected such rapid growth. My next goal is to hit 10 pull-ups. Appreciate your guidance!
If i was doing pull ups (i suck at them lol) and then a girl looked at me, i would get off the bar and start doing 30 push ups in a row, cause, ot looks more impressive than doing seeing a guy doing 3 pull ups
I've been going to the gym for 8 months. When I first started I could do 1 with difficulty. Now I can do 7:) This is the perfect video for me to get to a level where I add weight to my sets!
Damiel Gårsted sure but it depends on where you’re at already too. If you can already do 3-4- even 5, then I wasn’t talking bout those people. I’m talking about people who legitimately can’t do any or maybe 1.
That’s a good one , broke my elbow 22 months ago &,after being told the arm won’t ever move again , I am ready to train slowly pull ups👍 it’ll go, I am sure :-)
Raym Janjua Most doctors aren’t physical therapists or nutritionists. Doctors are taught band-aid treatment when they don’t know how to handle something and therefore point you to the pharmaceutical department
You're great at explaining why the excercise is effective but it would help so much more to get in depth with form & show multiple angles of how the exercise is performed for longer time.
Just wanted to thank you for your wise advice on pull-ups. I was struggling to to 3 series of five pull-ups (not even full but getting down to 3/4), never being able to go above that after many months. By following your program, I unlocked my pull-ups. The scapular training really made the difference. After 12 sessions, I am able now to do 3 series of 10 pull ups (3/4 descent), and I've validated 3 series of 7 pull ups (full movement). I'm planning to get to 3 x 10 (full move) in about 2 or 3 weeks. So, this is definitively a video to watch and a method to apply.
Hey man. I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I did this pull up workout during my back days (twice a week, plus meadows rows and misc bicep stuff) and on the 6th back day, 3 weeks in, I got my first pull up without a band. Very good content here. Thanks Jeremy, keep it up
@@Manléte A year ago, I couldn't do one. Now I can do 12, in my first set. What I did was, it's not really good advice, but I just kept trying. Many a time spent hanging from the bar just trying to get 1 rep. Just kept trying. Didn't care if people thought I looked daft either. Now I can touch my chest to the bar on every rep I do, without straining my neck over the bar.
Bro seriously I’m about to be 22 in a few months and the difference between you and other fitness people is the science you actually have to backup behind this. Been looking for a method like this for a while I’m most defiantly going to go thru and definitely boost my confidence while in the process. Definitely earned a sub. 💪🏿
Ur videos are so amazing not only because of the editing and design, but you have STUDIES and FACTS that prove WHY we should be doing certain exercises. Thx for always making such informative and factually-backed videos :)
I haven't watched any Jeremy Ethier videos in like 2 years and seeing this now, he's clearly leaner than before. But the better part is that his citation & research game just leveled up!
@@NzSumzN I'll tell you if you support the cause;) Nah, for real, just make comments early on videos that are either interesting, helpful or funny. 5.25k nice people subbed for that. I used to get 1k a month but I was on UA-cam all day and it was a lot of work.
Your progression on strengthening the muscles needed for the pull up was very informative!! Please create a video on workout schedules for over 60 year old men! Split or full body either way I can do both. Very much appreciated this video and thanks for hearing my suggestion.
I am a physio and I just learned something new from you! Your work is great, and so accurate technically. I loved the ideas for such a basic activity like pull-up.💯
I am just shy of turning 70 years old. Your videos have inspired me to do my first pull up. Im now able to perform several sets of 7-8. Thanks for the tips. Im shooting for 20 reps
Exactly what I was looking for! I'm seeing major "newbie gains" in all aspects, and doing a pullup has always been my goal, with this i'm feeling confident ill be able to do 3x10 in no time! Thanks so much for this great video Jeremy
I am turning 53 and am now doing 5 pull-up. My goal is to do 15 in 2.5 months time. Great video - very well explained and it has helped me lots to get my pull-up back on track. Actually I got started about 4 weeks ago with zero pull-up....thank-you
I’m in the same boat now. I stopped training altogether throughout the corona virus and now I can’t even do 1. This video should help me speed up my progression back to where I was at Christmas and beyond.
10 years ago, I was doing these, to finally break my first pullup, and eventually got to 15. But work happened, now I'm back at square 1.. I will need to find motivation again to get back to shape!
So what i deduced from this video is that I need to improve my core and traps, while I have very good strength in my biceps. (This explains why I can easily do chinups but have problems with doing even a single widegrip..)
Yeh I was surprised he didn't mention anything about grip. My pull ups went through the roof once I started doing dead hangs and made my grip super strong.
Managed my first pullup yesterday because of this program and i am like 20kg overweight. Can't wait untill i get much lighter! Thanks for a great program! 💪😁
@@rayandrewbalquiros i did all exercises as a giant set, 1 for each in a row then pausing after ive gone through them once as needed, then giantseting it again, paus and repeat untill all 3 sets are gone. Intense? Yeah but it is done pretty fast.
@@StreamSnickerCuts i didnt count amount of sessions, but i adhered to it strictly for a couple of sessions and i noticed quick gains. You would definitly notice gains adhering to it strictly over time.
Sweet! Just the overview to a stripped down calisthenics program I didn't realize I was looking for. Clear, concise, common sensical and research-based. Thanks!!!
Yes, he said that before each workout and 1-2 of other weighted workouts, add 2 sets of maximum reps in each, not that you should to change the main workout once you are able to get to successful sets of pull-ups, if you don not want to go for weighted progressions.@@idwtv534
Thanks, this video really helped. I was the type of person to do first 5 pull ups and then i couldn't even do a 6th one. I'm currently and 15 pull ups and if i try to harder i can even do 16-18 at most. My goal is to reach 30 pull ups in a single try. I'm quite away from my goal but i'll get there 1 day. If i was able to improve then so are you! Don't give up
Great video. I’m going to incorporate this into my routine. Currently I am only able to do one good pull up. I’ll report back in 12 weeks with my results.
Starting workout again for the first time in 20 years at 51 years old. I'm a big guy with quite a bit of weight to lose. I've also had rotator cuff surgery. I was doing pull downs instead of pull ups until someone pointed out not engaging the core. He had a great simple tip. Don't sit all the way down. I started doing pull downs in a squatted position. I could tell a difference completely. Do what is safe and comfortable for you to do. Don't be stressing out if you not "pull up" guy at the gym

*Add 2 ”max pull-up” sets to the beginning of these workouts and also 1-2 of your other weights workouts during the week
[09:10]
STEP 2: PROGRESSION
1. Perform weighted pull-ups 2x/week (on one day, use a pull-up variation) for 3-4 sets of 6-10 reps.
2. Start with 2.5-5lbs additional weight, then continue adding 2.5-5lbs more once you can successfully complete 3-4 sets of 10 reps with previous weight.
3. Take a pull-ups "deload" or "easy" week after every 4 weeks.
Dam i rather watch the whole video than read this essay of a comment
Love you man
Best😍
Thank you bro 😀!
Thank you so much, Jeremy! Today, at 40 years old, I achieved my first pull-up, and it's all thanks to your video. I started following your exercises just three weeks ago, doing them twice a week, and the progress has been astonishing. I never expected such rapid growth. My next goal is to hit 10 pull-ups. Appreciate your guidance!
I came for the pull up. I stayed for the science.
This is the most professional, interesting, well-researched, well-produced video I've ever seen. 10/10
This is just what i was looking for. Another awesome run through, cheers Jeremy.
Just started this routine a couple days ago. Lats and back are experiencing mad DOMS now. Thanks Jeremy
What is DOMS please?
@@johnnyrocker7495 delayed onset muscle soreness
basically the soreness you get the next day or few hours after exercise
Who else is watching this during quarantine without the necessary equipment?
You bet your bottom dollar
You have forest or park?
You can literally use a tree to do pull ups
@@TheJapaNever Yeah you want muscle imbalances?
If I had dime for every time I heard that......I've have a dollar
Its all about wether a good-looking woman is watching, with one I can do 15, without I can do 8
15 but funky form
lol underrated comment
If i was doing pull ups (i suck at them lol) and then a girl looked at me, i would get off the bar and start doing 30 push ups in a row, cause, ot looks more impressive than doing seeing a guy doing 3 pull ups
:-))) on point !
😂😂
Just perfect. Giving all the information we really need without wasting a single second. You are amazing. Thank you.

@@OkTr3y Exactly
I love this answer because this is more realistic. If people think they’re gonna get from 0-10 in weeks or couple months. Not likely.
@@Heathx15 If you implement a solid back workout it's possible within a couple months
Damiel Gårsted sure but it depends on where you’re at already too. If you can already do 3-4- even 5, then I wasn’t talking bout those people. I’m talking about people who legitimately can’t do any or maybe 1.
Hey Jeremy I've always been interested in the human flag, can you do a video on that? If not, maybe the Spoto presses?
u jacked weaboo
Agreed, fun movement I want to be able to do.
65-year-old man at my job can do this.... I hate him.
Jeremy does gym related stuff. Those are calisthenics movements. Just check UA-cam tutorials on them from calisthenics channels
@@Matt-gl8ov we wanna learn from jeremy...there's no kind of bs in his videos.
That’s a good one , broke my elbow 22 months ago &,after being told the arm won’t ever move again , I am ready to train slowly pull ups👍 it’ll go, I am sure :-)
You can do it man, don't give up!
Whoops! Encouragement!
You can do it men I am sure
Raym Janjua Most doctors aren’t physical therapists or nutritionists. Doctors are taught band-aid treatment when they don’t know how to handle something and therefore point you to the pharmaceutical department
You're great at explaining why the excercise is effective but it would help so much more to get in depth with form & show multiple angles of how the exercise is performed for longer time.
Just wanted to thank you for your wise advice on pull-ups. I was struggling to to 3 series of five pull-ups (not even full but getting down to 3/4), never being able to go above that after many months.
By following your program, I unlocked my pull-ups. The scapular training really made the difference.
After 12 sessions, I am able now to do 3 series of 10 pull ups (3/4 descent), and I've validated 3 series of 7 pull ups (full movement). I'm planning to get to 3 x 10 (full move) in about 2 or 3 weeks.
So, this is definitively a video to watch and a method to apply.
Hey man. I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I did this pull up workout during my back days (twice a week, plus meadows rows and misc bicep stuff) and on the 6th back day, 3 weeks in, I got my first pull up without a band. Very good content here. Thanks Jeremy, keep it up
Gonna give this a go. Been stuck at that 3-6 pull up range for too long.
How did it do to u pal? Any progress so far?
@@Manléte
A year ago, I couldn't do one. Now I can do 12, in my first set. What I did was, it's not really good advice, but I just kept trying. Many a time spent hanging from the bar just trying to get 1 rep. Just kept trying. Didn't care if people thought I looked daft either. Now I can touch my chest to the bar on every rep I do, without straining my neck over the bar.
@@Manléte
If I want less than 12 reps now, I leg-hug a dumbbell, even a 12kg one will drop my reps.
I was only about to do 1.5 pull-ups but now I’m able to get 4. Thanks for the help man.
Bro seriously I’m about to be 22 in a few months and the difference between you and other fitness people is the science you actually have to backup behind this. Been looking for a method like this for a while I’m most defiantly going to go thru and definitely boost my confidence while in the process. Definitely earned a sub. 💪🏿

Ur videos are so amazing not only because of the editing and design, but you have STUDIES and FACTS that prove WHY we should be doing certain exercises. Thx for always making such informative and factually-backed videos :)
I haven't watched any Jeremy Ethier videos in like 2 years and seeing this now, he's clearly leaner than before. But the better part is that his citation & research game just leveled up!

Your progression on strengthening the muscles needed for the pull up was very informative!!
Please create a video on workout schedules for over 60 year old men! Split or full body either way I can do both.
Very much appreciated this video and thanks for hearing my suggestion.
I am a physio and I just learned something new from you! Your work is great, and so accurate technically. I loved the ideas for such a basic activity like pull-up.💯
I am just shy of turning 70 years old. Your videos have inspired me to do my first pull up. Im now able to perform several sets of 7-8. Thanks for the tips. Im shooting for 20 reps
Thought he said “if your pull out game..” at the beginning lmao
😂
My pull out game is weak.
Finally a trainer that bases his trainings on scientific research. So glad i found this channel.
Hate to break it to you but he twists and misinterprets research a lot in his more recent videos
@@Ignore14how? sources? details?
Nothing can beat Jeremy’s form on pull ups
Fitnessfaqs
I can't imagine how much time you have spent on gathering the supporting information and that it makes total sense to a person like me. Kudos!
Exactly what I was looking for! I'm seeing major "newbie gains" in all aspects, and doing a pullup has always been my goal, with this i'm feeling confident ill be able to do 3x10 in no time! Thanks so much for this great video Jeremy
im so glad i have jeremy and coach greg in my life
No offense, but a narcissistic roid junkie whos sells toast is the last person you should be listening to for fitness advice.
Jeff Cavalier: Face Pulls
Jeremy Ethier: Scapula Pull Ups
Only one should be listened to, and doesnt deploy clickbait bizarre workout routines that arent needed whatsoever. This dude knows his stuff
@@davecom3 I don't think I've ever seen Jeff lift heavy. Weird.
@@davecom3 i hope you didnt mean jeff when you said that

You’re all fools if you think Jeff from athlean x doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Really, Jeremy and Athlean-X is basically everything you need for fitness information imo. Thanks for your content!
I am turning 53 and am now doing 5 pull-up. My goal is to do 15 in 2.5 months time. Great video - very well explained and it has helped me lots to get my pull-up back on track. Actually I got started about 4 weeks ago with zero pull-up....thank-you
Now its your grandchildrens time to do pull ups 🤣🤣
I’m in the same boat now. I stopped training altogether throughout the corona virus and now I can’t even do 1. This video should help me speed up my progression back to where I was at Christmas and beyond.
When you make a comment on another youtuber's video to suggest an idea for a video but Jeremy pops up to fill you in...
Thanks man!
10 years ago, I was doing these, to finally break my first pullup, and eventually got to 15. But work happened, now I'm back at square 1.. I will need to find motivation again to get back to shape!
Bruh idk if I have the courage to put on a chained belt and proceed to put 2.5 pounds on it lmao
🤣
you can probably put it in your pocket if you have some 😂
So what i deduced from this video is that I need to improve my core and traps, while I have very good strength in my biceps. (This explains why I can easily do chinups but have problems with doing even a single widegrip..)
I really recommend to train your forearms too, like doing neutral pull ups and 3 sets of max dead hang
Yeh I was surprised he didn't mention anything about grip. My pull ups went through the roof once I started doing dead hangs and made my grip super strong.
Managed my first pullup yesterday because of this program and i am like 20kg overweight. Can't wait untill i get much lighter! Thanks for a great program! 💪😁
Good day. Can i ask on how to do this? Should i perform all these? From scapular pull ups to pull up negatives in just one session?
@@rayandrewbalquiros i did all exercises as a giant set, 1 for each in a row then pausing after ive gone through them once as needed, then giantseting it again, paus and repeat untill all 3 sets are gone. Intense? Yeah but it is done pretty fast.
How long did you do this workout for?
@@StreamSnickerCuts i didnt count amount of sessions, but i adhered to it strictly for a couple of sessions and i noticed quick gains. You would definitly notice gains adhering to it strictly over time.
I love your videos and follow them regularly....only question I've is some of the exercises shown in 1 video isn't included in the other...
1 like 1 pull ups
Dude got 52 pull ups to do 🔥🔥🔥
I made it 122, but don't like mine cuz i can't do it.
good luck xD

“Stop Stop He’s Already Dead”
Pull Ups are for sure the ones that helped me get my back muscle development and strength as for you! Great exercise for a bodyweight training!
When I tried my first time, I literally did what happened at 0:04 I didn't expect pull ups to be so much harder then chin up....
Nice video!
Sweet! Just the overview to a stripped down calisthenics program I didn't realize I was looking for. Clear, concise, common sensical and research-based. Thanks!!!
Drinking game: Take a shot every time he says pull up
Drinking fucks up yo gains bruh, I'm head to toe legit😂
I'd be dead
I'd rather eat a tuna fish sandwich on a bread stick
Jon Jones' Dealer that’s why u get high instead
Never mind, do a press up every time he says pull up
I watched this a few months ago and now I’m doing four sets of six in the gym. Thanks bro 👊🏽
do you know what does he mean at 7:00 ?
Yes, he said that before each workout and 1-2 of other weighted workouts, add 2 sets of maximum reps in each, not that you should to change the main workout once you are able to get to successful sets of pull-ups, if you don not want to go for weighted progressions.@@idwtv534

It works! I did the first exercise yesterday and I did my first pullup today! Thanks 🙏
Welcome 😁😁
Thanks, this video really helped. I was the type of person to do first 5 pull ups and then i couldn't even do a 6th one. I'm currently and 15 pull ups and if i try to harder i can even do 16-18 at most. My goal is to reach 30 pull ups in a single try. I'm quite away from my goal but i'll get there 1 day. If i was able to improve then so are you! Don't give up
Did you add weight or strictly body weight?
Did you get to 30?
Fun fact 70% of people are laying on bed with there one leg on there knee
Ayooo bro. That's me rn😂
Im in a calesthenics park
Aha! I sitting on my bed :)
No way 💀
Correct
something i noted when started doing pull ups, i needed a strong gripp, before everything
This is super useful. I'm 14 and I recently got a pull up bar. I am ashamed to say I can barely do 1 pull up, but this video will help me.

Great video. I’m going to incorporate this into my routine. Currently I am only able to do one good pull up. I’ll report back in 12 weeks with my results.
Can you tell us how it’s going now
How's the result bro ?
I was wondering why my tummy muscles hurts, when I did pull ups a day after I did my first ad wheel session. This video clears that up.
Hi, I'm 90 years old and after following your advice can now do pull ups like I'm 20.thanks you
Timestamps for the first two methods:
Traps: 2:08
Core and lats: 3:54
Gotta love that smile at 1:20
As soon as I saw the suggested workout routine, my brain was like "Oh hell naw" - at that moment, I knew I had to do it.
Starting workout again for the first time in 20 years at 51 years old. I'm a big guy with quite a bit of weight to lose. I've also had rotator cuff surgery. I was doing pull downs instead of pull ups until someone pointed out not engaging the core. He had a great simple tip. Don't sit all the way down. I started doing pull downs in a squatted position. I could tell a difference completely. Do what is safe and comfortable for you to do. Don't be stressing out if you not "pull up" guy at the gym
My pull up game might be weak but I can say damn well that my pull out game is strong.
