I could do lots of pull ups during my twenties, as I got older I also got heavier. So like your partner I also started comfort eating. You have determination girl. Congrats
My goal for 2023 was to "unlock" pullups and i was beginning to lose motivation so this video came at the perfect time! I remember watching you pushups video a few years ago and because of it I can do pushups all the time now! Hoping to do the same for pullups
I love this video. I'm also recently starting on a fitness journey on my own with a bodyfat% with a friend. Watching your video makes me attempt pull-up negatives again! keep it up!
I remember being only able to do 3 in my late 20's, despite years of doing lat pulldowns. My forearms weren't strong enough to hold me for that long. I eventually quit weight lifting and switched to bodyweight calisthenics. Doing negative-only reps was key to early progress. I can now do about 18 pull-ups in a full range of motion, and about 35-ish if I cheat and use partial reps and momentum. I've learned that I have poor exercise recovery, so I need 2 weeks rest between workouts.
Hi. I like the pull-up idea. I'm wondering what the name of the device you're using is called. Could you make a video on how to use it to set different lengths - for pull-ups and push-ups? And where can you buy it?
Hi you can find more information by searching for the term "gymnastics rings". An example of a similar product on Amazon would be this: amzn.to/36ZCvyf Good luck!
You'll first have to make sure your ceiling is strong enough (we asked an expert for help on this), then drill hooks into them. We used hooks designed for indoor hammocks, swings and things like that.
I can barely hang from the bars. 10 seconds in and my muscles are screaming. You can imagine the amount of trouble I went through in the military for never passing my IPPT (and I was a regular in the RSN for 9 years). And also remedial training every year after I ORD until I reached 40 years old. 2.4km, standing broad jump, chin ups, shuttle runs are all my Achilles heel. I failed every thing except for sit ups. I did pass 2.4km once but failed again one week later after a bout of celebrations. It occured to me that I had to put in 10 times as much effort as the average person to achieve “combat fitness”. This is a time commitment that for the sake of my sanity I can’t oblige. So I just gave up training altogether. Exercise is still a taboo word for me personally.
I had a pull-up bar that I attached to my door when I was in university. I got really good after 2 years and had a personal record of 11 pulls at once. The doors of my place after graduating couldn't hang a pull-up bar , after a year or so, I can barely do 3 now 🥲
How many pull-ups can you currently do? What’s your pull-up goal?
0 at the moment. this has been an inspiration to start again, I've been slacking for the past 6 months :/
-10 🤣
At least 20, but I've been doing them for over a year, and I know its a lot easier for men

18 strict pull-ups is great! 🙌
Congrats on your progress. I am also working on my pullup
All the best, you got this 💪
Awesome video idea!
Thanks!
This is so inspiring! I might try!
Go for it and let us know how it goes! 💪

How did you attach the rings to your ceiling?

Thank you , now I don't feel so bad for not being able to do pull ups. I have more lower body strength than upper body strength.
Pull-ups are just really hard! 🥲
👌
Zero is always the hardest to break.
Totally!
You’re very strong lady boy 🤙 you can pull up ma men. ❤

Unfortunately the deterioration always happens at a much faster rate than the progress 😆 but you'll get there again! 💪
