Point is, a 5-10 reps guy is still a calisthenics noob. 🤷♂️
I’ve always been good at pull-ups. My best ever was 37reps when I was in my early 20s. I’m now 62 and can still do 23.
Woah that's awesome! What did you do to get to that number?
I've been stuck at 9 for 5 months now it's insane
@@Anonymous77-s1s
Thanks for the reply. I think a lot of it was natural talent when I was younger. I didn’t particularly do anything special, although, as a kid, I did do gymnastics.
Now, as an old fart, I train very hard. My technique is to use weighted pull ups and cycle the weights to a heavy single every 6 weeks or so. After I’ve gone as heavy as I can I then ditch the weights and attempt as many reps as I can. On my last cycle I attached 30 kilos and managed 2 reps. On my next session I just repped out and got 21.
@@b-dogswings8019 what is your weight? It seems the lesser weight you have the easy the pull ups.
@@silentwraith2384 I weigh about 77 kilos. Obviously this changes over the weekend because I like my beer! When I did the 37 reps over 40 years ago I weighed about 67 kilos.
That moment when a beginner pull-up video assumes that you can do 5-10 pullups in a row
...and you realize you're less than a beginner
I barely did 5.
eaberrydc this also works if you can only do 2 or 1, just do them as often as possible with good form
eaberrydc 🤣
eaberrydc doing this 2 years now and i am still not able to do more then 10 for few sets. At the beginning i did 0.
Awesome! I can only do ONE pull-up. I'm 250lbs, 5'11" And I'm going to implement isometric holds/ negatives for as long as I can substituting the reps listed. Will update after six weeks. Thank you so much for this!
Update: 5 months later, now I'm 240lbs and can do 7 Pull-ups. Will keep you guys updated
Update 2 years later:
Max pull up is 12.. i sustained injuries unrelated to pullups and got lazy, but I'm still working at it
How's it going, man?

@@CryptoBun-G good work,, dude. These body weight exercises are crucial to a lot of ppl who've been away from the gym during Covid.
Pullups are simple and keep your body strong. Throw in some conditioning and some kettlebells and it's rly all you need 💯

For those who have been strugling with pullups: don't give up, train consistently and you WILL improve.
I started training 1 year ago as a total beginner and couldn't do a single pullup. I can do 10 in a row now (with good form) and in a good session I do ~50 total.
I hit a plateau at 7 pullups and found that cardio helped a lot.
💯💯💯
Yooo i hit plateu of 7 as well! Been stuck for a while tho. I started at 0 pull ups as well what should i do
Give up Mr. Cruz
What kind of cardio
This clip doesn't take your weight into consideration. There are bodybuilders with huge lats that can't do more than 10-12 pullups, because they're heavy.
I've been training for 2 years (I'm 39) and started from 0 pullups and plateaued at 9-10 reps (for more than a year now). I'm 186cm (6ft1) and weight is 92kg (~200lbs). Highly doubt I'll ever reach 20reps, because when I started I weighted 80kg (~180lbs). So even though my strength increased , my bodyweight catches up.
yea finally I reached Beginner level after 8 months now i can follow this
lmao true
Imao. Its look so Hard. I cant do 1
@@crossingpowerpica7158 yeah it is hard until it's not 😂
Don't be fooled. This programme is nonsense. You will not get to 20 pullups in 6 weeks. Unless you're roiding.
@@brainxd I went from 2 to 10 in a month and I didn't train that hard. Just did 2 sets of max rep per day and I lost 5kg at the same time. I'm sure if I didn't lose weight during the process I could do a lot more.
18 pull ups this morning. I have a goal of 50 by july 11. That is my 50th bday.
Go for it I'm 54 I've had 30 reps once I can vouch that the bit from 22 23reps to 30 was the hardest to break I used Pavel's Russian fighter pull-up program and extra weight low reps to get there it helped me so look it up ,I'm trying "The Pull-up Solution"program at the moment for a change as I'm just starting again after some time off look that program up it's very indepth .

How exactly did you get to 8 pullups?

1-8 in 3 weeks. Now i do 45-50 pulls up per day( multiple sets)
I remember watching this when it first came out, I finally achieved 19 reps. Thank you, brother.
Can you show me how ? I stuck at week 5, day 2 (12 reps, 8m rest, 10 reps)
@@TranGiaBaoA I'm actually stuck at 10 reps x 3 set for 3 years.
Then I took caffeine as a pre workout, boom I did 19 reps easily.
You need to stay plateau for long time (without pre workout) to train you foundation
but at same times when you ready then you start using pre workout.
OK, I've finished the whole program. Even though I don't consider myself as a begginer - it suprised me it acrtually worked. Did 20 pullups, overcame my plato -17 pu. Great job Daniel. Standing ovation!
Did you do anything outside of the programes exercises?
Did you start at week 1 or somewhere in the middle? Just curious because I'm stuck at 15 and the first couple weeks look very easy. Thanks!
How many sets to do i can do 5
Done!! Increased my pull ups from 6 to 17.
Thank you Daniel 🤙
Did it really work bro? what was your routine like?
@@doingcomputermalayalam Yes it really did. I just followed the plan laid out on 4:15 consistently. I didn't even supplement with other back exercises. The only other exercise i did was push ups.
@@thabosibanda1242 in 4 weeks you could do 11 pull ups more then when you started?
@@isegev8651 In six weeks...i did from week 1 until week 6
@@thabosibanda1242 wow dude
Just did 20 in a row for the first time today! My strategy was to start my back and bis days with 3 sets of strict pull ups to failure, followed by top, 90 degree, and slightly bent elbow holds for about 20 seconds each. Then I hit strict lat pull downs, high weight low reps. I try to do lat pull downs above what I weigh to improve strength. Then normal back/bis day
Verified by myself this workout is actually working perfectly for beginners. I could barely do 10 pull ups and after 6 weeks of this PERFECTLY designed training I finally reached my dream goal of 20 pull ups in a row. I am a 19 and a half year old student so my diet and sleep is indulgently poor but still I pulled through (nice one xD). FitnessFAQs I am obliged with unlimited graditude to you and your workouts. I suggest this workout to anyone !!!

Do inverted row and pull up negatives brother

cool, in 2 months you gained 6 reps
Wee dziri? Whrani?
Which method you followed !
Any update ?
Weeks ago (8 weeks), i was struggling with doing 1 full rom pull up. After weeks of training, i can do 2 full rom pull up now (not easy but i can do 2). To newbies who can not do pull up, dont lose hope, if you spend enough time and effort, you will get what you dream for.
no the thıng you should have done was pullup negatives, that will rocket your strenght because 1 or 2 wont be enough for hypertrophy not even for strenght. İf you are still at that level try doing negatives put your ego aside
@@supercuber9805
Yeah I got from 0.5 to 6 pull ups within three weeks with negatives. Then I stagnated around that for a year. I think atm I'm able to do around 8. With a narrow bar probably 10.
The above program doesn't really work for me - second week already didn't fit. But I'll try and follow as best as I can till Christmas and then look for a different routine.
Hey, I'm 53, recently recovered from a hemmorhagic stroke and I have been trying to get into or back into shape.

About 25. Full disclosure, have 25+ years of rock climbing experience. Used to do 3 reps with one arm, and on a good day 1 rep with 1 finger. Unlike many other exercises they never seem to get easy.
sapinva for real they’re never easy, but that’s the fun part!
@Dan Don Didn't really pay attention to that. It is more of a full body exercise, and adding a lot of muscle tends to work against you. Didn't really get good at them until I dropped from 230 down to 200 lbs, and I was pretty lean at 230.
@@sapinva, you were a 230 lbs rock climber? Sounds like a unicorn.
@@cantankerouspatriarch4981 There are others, had some friends that were 200+ and some were quite good for the time. But yeah, on today's harder routes the sport is for tiny people with tiny bones.
It's interesting that you could do 25 and manage to do 3 one arm pull ups as I used to do 3 sets of 20 (and once managed 30 chin ups, not pull ups, in one go) strict pull ups, but have _never_ managed a single one armed pull up or chin up.
I wonder what the reason is. Maybe climbing makes a big difference?
I used to be able to do between 25-30 pullups. No kipping, no crossfit swinging crap. Just up and down, arms locked chin over the bar. But my back didn't look anywhere near what yours does. So I had to re-evaluate why I was doing them and what I was getting out of them. Now I focus entirely on proper form with complete disregard for numbers. My sets are usually between 6-10. They are slow, controlled, back muscles completely engaged. I'm seeing more progress doing them this way. People need to be honest with what they are looking for. More reps or more hypertrophy. There may be crossover between the two but the way you train will dictate your results.
gamegenie11, amen to that.
For muscle growth, calistenics won't do much for you, you'll better be practising pull downs to get a bigger muscle, or you can put on some extra weight on your pull ups
^ Extra weight on the Pull-Ups.
Yeah, once you can do 15 reps easily is when you should start adding weights to your pullups, going as low as 5 sets x 5 reps for strength and hypertrophy.
when you hit 15 pulls you can slow them down before going for weight.
Tied this for 2 months, my pull ups have gone up from 6 to 13 and I am very happy. Thanks Daniel. Working to do 20 pull ups.
UPDATE :
August 2023: Able to do 15 pull ups in a row. Amazing feeling and so happy. Took me around 3 months.
December 2023: Have not done pull ups since August, almost 5 months. Can only do 4 pull ups in a row now. Feeling sad about my progress as it is difficult to go to gym as I moved abroad to Canada.
January 2024: Bought a pull ups bar to train at home. Difficult to stay consistent, but I have managed to do 10 pull ups in a row.
Watching Daniel's video again to see the strategy. Motivated to work and study hard.
On week 3 of the program and just finished the 6x6 workout! On my way to 20 straight pullups!
Can you do it yet?
@@persiizee1819 probably not
God bless FitnessFAQs. Love you bro.
But my Crossfit friend said he went from 5 to 20 pull ups the first time he did crossfit!
Not the same type of pull ups
Kipping pull ups
I kinda sense sarcasm there? XD
Haha very funny
@Peter Hofmann I know,but i supposed that he did 20 kipping pull ups.I don't think he did 20 strict pull ups the first time in crossfit
Start with negative pull up, now i can do 14 pull ups
I made a program for myself and went from 5 pull ups to 15 pull ups in 3 months. Maybe that's not much for some. But I never thought I would be able to do 15 pull ups.
Now I do 130 pull ups per workout, but I change it every 2 weeks.
But the secret to do more pull ups is to work on the 3 methods(strength/explosiveness/endurance)
In 1 week, I do 1 strength training, 1 explosiveness training and 1 endurance training.
For strength I do weighted pull ups (low reps high weights)
For explosiveness I do high pulls (low reps high pulls)
For endurance I do 10 sets of 80% of my max pull ups.
Looks good
I think this could be the key to all training.

Try doing scapula shrugs. And isometrics. Good luck!
As a whiplash survivor. I suffer neck pain daily. When I wake in the morning, I have a decision to make: either I work out and hurt a lot for an hour, Ior, I suffer all day. So, that was my motivation for pull-ups. What I found is that 100 pull-ups daily has brought my neck pain down to a much more manageable level.
On my non pull-up days, I do fifty pull-ups on a 3” fat bar, and 50 from finger tip grips. They are helping my grip strength for deadlifts.
So how did it happen?
On Feb 3, 2018, I could not do a single pull-up.
On Feb 3, 2019, I could do 43 pull-ups in a set.
On Feb 3, 2020, I could do 53 pull-ups in a set
My goal was to reach 60-60-60: 60 pull-ups in 60 seconds on my sixtieth birthday on March 20, 2020. On my 60th birthday, I managed to complete 60 pull-ups in 65seconds.
I work at least six days a week as a veterinarian. My day usually starts between 7 and 8 am, and finishes between 9 and 10 pm.
If I can do it, then anyone can.
Great subject matter. Well presented.
My take home message: don’t give up on your body, and it will not give up on you.
Thanks again.
Is this a reference? I dont get it.. there is no way that you did 60 pull ups in 65 seconds. And even the other numbers seem very unlikely. I doubt that an 58 yo man can learn to do 48 pull ups in one set in a year.
I started the program being 6'3", 195lbs (191cm, 88kg) and could do 10 pull-ups in one set with good form after training them on and off for several years. It's been about 8 months and I am currently trying to successfully complete week 4 with 3 minutes rest between sets.
Since I started I have lost about 10lbs or around 5kg, and my max pull-ups is now 15.
Weighted pull-ups have helped me, along with doing a lot of pyramid structured workouts, and doing the workouts i could complete in this program consistently. Toning up and losing weight has also helped. Through general consistency in diet and exercising 5-6x a week, my bodyfats gone from about 15% to around 12%.
I think doing 20 solid reps in 1 set is by no means "beginner", and the vast majority of people won't get there in 6 weeks. However, following these milestones have helped me progress to doing more pull-ups than ever, and I believe I'll be able to get to 20 one day if I stay consistent.

2 mins of rest between sets
My schedule:

1st workout went well.
2nd too.
3rd workout: the last 2 sets were a little harder but finally 2 days rest now
Week 2: (4x6) -
1st workout: was pretty tough. Didn´t manage to do 4x6 but 6-6-5-4-3. Did the last 3 on top to keep the volume the same
2nd workout: some progress... managed to do 6-6-5-5-2 this time
3rd workout: Managed to perform 6-6-6-5-(20s rest)1
Week 3: (6x5) -
1st workout: 5-5-5-5-4-4
2nd workout: 5-5-5-5-5-5
3rd workout: 5-5-5-5-5-4
Week 4: (3x8-10) -
1st workout: 7-7-5-3
2nd workout:7-6-6-4
3rd workout: 7-6-5-4
I really didn´t manage to do 3x8 in week 4, so I did as many reps as possible in the 1st 3 sets and then did a 4th set for a little but more volume.

Great video.
I see comment section also rocks! It's great to see people sharing their personal experiences and motivation.
In my case 10 months ago I couldn't do a single pull up at all. Now I can do 9 to 10 pull ups in a single set. It's great and very motivating to see how you can improve by putting some effort and consistency.
I've had this video in the back of my head. But didn't remember exactly, so today I did:
6×6 pullups + 3×8 chins.
This wasn't exactly like the first workout was supposed to be, but it was fun to try something new.
I usually do as many as I can, for 4-5 sets. So it's about 40-50.
I'm able to do 13 in a row I think
17 in a row perfect form
I can do maximum 13 with hands facing me (is it called chin-up?) and 12 with hands facing outward me . But I am stuck in this numbers for years. I am 176 cm, and around 66-67 kgr. I do pullups 2 times per week, 5 sets , all close to failure.
Because I see many comments questioning the validity of the suggested program by Daniel (appearing at 4:10 ) , Here is my more elaborate suggestion (I have studied physics, so I like wondering about numbers and quantities!) Use the technique that Daniel has on 1:28 .
Week 1 , training day 1 : 5 , 5 , 5 , 5 , 5 , 4 (6 sets of 5 or 4 reps , 3 min break between sets)
Week 1 trday 2: 6 , 6 , 5 , 5 , 5 , 5
W1 trday 3 : 7 , 7 , 6 , 6 , 5 , 5
W2 trday 1 : 8 , 8 , 7 , 6
W2 trday 2 : 8 , 8 , 8 , 6
W2 trday 3 : 10, 9 , 9 (increase your break to 3.5 minutes if needed)
W3 trday 1 : 6 , 6 , 6 , 6 , 6 , 6
W3 trday 2 : 7 , 7 , 6 , 6 , 6 , 6
W3 trday 3 : 8 , 8 , 7 , 7 , 6
W4 trday 1 : 12 , 11 , 10 (increase your 2 breaks to 4 mins if needed)
W4 trday 2 : 12 , 11 , 11
W4 trday 3 : 12 , 12 , 12
W5 trday 1 : 14 , 12
W5 trday 2 : 15 , 13
W5 trday 3 : 15 , 14
W6 trday 1 : 14 , 12 , 12
W6 trday 2 : 15, 13 , 12
W6 trday 3 : 15 , 15 , 14
Each new training week should start after 2 days rest , so your training days for each week of the above program should be Mon,Wen,Fri , or Tue,Thur,Sat , then 2 days rest (you can do leg exercises of course or abs and pushups on all the other 4 days of the week, but not trying to progress on the numbers of the other exercises , just do maintenance mode , when you finish the 6 weeks of your pullups then you can switch attention to increasing your pushups for example)
just take steroids than you'll see its really not that hard to gain it in 6 weeks to 20.I also do pullups(I'm not an athleth(as my job) or professional sport man) so yee me too also been at around 10 pull ups for years, and that just need practice to maintain that even(I'm over 30) I can do on fresh days maybe 12, normally its 10 pullups and its been like that for years
Start with weighted pull ups, i went from 14-20 in 3-4 weeks, i do not think you will progress as fast as i did, but it was definitely effective! Give it a shot!
I went from 4 to 9 reps in 2 months and train only ones a week because of my tight schedule. I just give everything I have with maximum effort every workout. So I’m confident I’ll be reaching 15 reps in the next couple of months! It’s possible even with less frequent training.
I can do 1-2 pull ups.and I'm proud that I can do at least 1 bcs I couldnt do one
NICE!
Awesome. It also took me quite a bit of time to get my first strict pull up

Gj man, hope your numbers are still improving
I’m 60, can only do 4 to 5 pull-ups... just can’t get past that. Ken in Hawaii, thanks!
Three great techniques to build really basic pull-up strength: practice switching between "active hang" and "passive hang," there are some great guides for that on youtube; try "eccentric" or "reverse" pull-ups, where you use a stool or box to step up into the top of the pull-up, then practice lowering yourself through the motion as slow as you can; and give some attention to your shoulder stability and mobility - I found that robust shoulders were the key to pull-ups. Cheers!
I'm 64 now and could only do 2-3 a few weeks ago. Have been trying on my own to improve and got up to 7. I will incorporate this video training in my goal of 20. Have (perhaps delusional) dreams of a muscle-up in the future. Ha.
Ok boomer
@@jbutzi Check out this video from this channel, it's helped me so much in getting stronger in all positions of a pull up.ua-cam.com/video/hWUDMCckm1Q/v-deo.html&ab_channel=FitnessFAQs
16 with perfect form, everything after i didn't count cause shit got sloppy
In just 4 weeks, at first I could only do 6 reps, now I can do 15 reps, thank you.

Adam Wróbel thanks bro!!
nice bro keep it up
He gave up
@@lautaristico He might have just cba coming back to the video. i did something similar with my deadlift progress. Its a pain to remmeber to actually update, not to mention find the comment and video xD
My max is around 25.
BraziBros that's it I thought u could do much more
Can u hit handstand push-ups yet ?
BraziBros then why are you here?
I got 30
Me too, i can't get more damn
I can currently do 10 but it took me 6 months to go from 1 to 10 - and I doubt it’ll take me 6 weeks to go from 10 to 20, probably like another 6 months !
It took me 2 months to do 10 in one set
so ?
I can do only 5 and it took me a few months from not being able to do a single one. I know that's slow progress according to many people but I'm glad my work paid off. Now I'm looking forward to increasing those reps.
Progress is progress. Keep at it! Lets do this!
That's a great attitude 💪
I have a PE class at university this semester, my goal is to reach 22 until June, to get the best possible grade.
Would be awesome if I reach them in 6 weeks with this routine, I'll keep you updated ;)
Pavel's Russian fighter pull-up program and John Sifferman's Pull-up Solution I'm 54 my best strict pull-ups is 30 reps last August I used Pavel's to get there I've had time off so now using John's program I can vouch they work you should try one or both.
I can do 2 maybe 3 in good form......... lmfao
After 6 mo of dedicated workout / rest/ nutrition , Bodyweight 240lbs to 169lbs and pull ups max 0-4. Then Stopped pull work for 5 months due to Tendinitis in inner elbows. Lots of pros and cons with results.
If it is in good hollow or arched body form with scapula depresion and etc then it`s not bad at all :D
Me too
Me too but my max was 10 2 years ago, I will restart by a week or two of negatives pull ups and australian pull ups, I know it's efficient, it worked on me the first time.
Do australian pull ups instead guys. If you can't do much reps in a huge difficult level, than it isn't for you.
Here is what I did when I was bad in pull ups:
Do your 2/3 pull ups, start with them, then do some negative (if you can do this without the need of jump in the bar, is better). Then, when you're feeling tired, go to the australian pull ups, but don't do only the regular one, do the open grip, regular grip and finally close grip. Do as much as you can in each. And, if after you negative pull ups you have power to do, do one hand australian pull ups before doing the 3 different grips with 2 hands. Do everything until fail, you'll advance very, very fast.
For me, it didn't work this type of train in the video. Maybe worked for other people, I don't know, every body works a little different. What I did to increase my pull ups to 10 from 17, was this:
3 rounds (do as much as you can, if you can't do more pull ups after first round, for exemple, do just the australian instead, but try to do all 3 rounds)/1 minute rest each exercise/2 minutes rest each round (if you have to, rest what you need)
Pull ups (max each):
- Open grip
- Regular grip
- Close grip
- One hand negative (each side) - if you're feeling confortable, do more, but I did like 5 each side.
Australian pull ups (max each):
- One hand
- (without rest): Open grip/Regular grip/Close grip
After this become easy, start putting weights. I put some in my backpack, put in front of my body and do the pull ups hahaha
Again, this is what worked for me, I'm not a professional or anything like that, if you want to do, do at your own risk (I don't think there is risk in this, but ok).
Try to stretch just a little before two. Alright, cya!
Can get the 10 in a row but want more. Thanks for sharing. Have built a tall salmon ladder, which i want to accomplish!
Ok today is Sunday 25/8/19bI am going to follow the program and let everyone know how much I have improved at the end.
I just tested and got 11 strict pull ups. (6 weeks from now it will be 20 😎)
How is it now ? :D
@@NarutoUzomaki65 20 lol. But I never followed that program. Don’t do a lot pull up training anymore
Haha I've been training for 3 months and just maxed out doing 5 pullups perfect technique and range of motion. I've been weak my whole life
and whats your age?
@@apost2852 I'm 26. Sadly I was working out too much with not enough rest and I strained my left elbow joint and it's been really touchy since. At one point I even did 6 pullups but now I'm back to square 1 :(
@@suhwateezea.214 dont worry about dude...its all about good training and time...sometimes its hard if you have "bad" genetics but nothing its impisible!
That’s awesome brother, get those gains💪💪
@@backyardfreestyle2390 thanks guys! Still training smart and consistently. Beach season coming up lol
After 4 months of training I could manage 4/5 reps. After a 5 month pause I returned back to 0. Now I'm going to start anew up to 20.
@Dan Don nah bro, I get stuck at the middle of my first rep so it doesn't even count as one 😂😂
I am in the exact same boat. Pretty much down to the letter. Unfortunately I also added 10 pounds since then >_>
same here. i slacked off due to life and injury and dropped to 0 from 4-5ish. I'm thinking its because of hand-dominant pullups not sure
he is right im like that too now 😭
I can do 5 pull ups in one set ( only in first set later i get fatigued easily )
will update you in 6 weeks
wish me luck :3
edit
8/12/2022 : well i am doing 5 sets of 3 and 2 sets of 2 reps after listening to my body i will go for 3 reps of 10 sets one time and will tell you when i achieve
edit:
Now i can 8 pull ups in one set not much big difference but i can feel the strength i never had while doing my reps
Any progress since you updated a month ago?
Barely one pullup when I started, then after three weeks I managed to do 8 in a row
we arechampions did you try and follow this exact routine? Im aiming for 12-15, I’m currently at 8 max
@@yngtorres9953 i actually started doing as much as I can per set and then just started adding up reps every other day
@@yngtorres9953 I am piggy backing off of @we arechampions reply. Just try to focus on total volume reps. Just try to add 1 or more reps on your sets. Just remember quality over quantity. It'll eventually take you there.
54 years old. Started being able to do 3 and after 3 weeks I can do 8.
I really want to get to 10.
One day.
@Guodlca I managed to do 10 once, but I'm stuck at 9.
I will keep going and eventually get to 10. I live at 8000 ft up, so perhaps altitude has something to do with my difficulty in getting to 10.
Or it's because I'm old. 😉
@Guodlca That's great, good stuff.
Are you a similar age to me?
I would imagine you'll get to 10 soon if you just keep doing them.
@Guodlca I understand.
I think you're doing the right thing and you've got a lot of mental strength to start getting in shape.
Good for you.
And you're still young!
When I was 27, I was very active, pretty fit and into parachuting and playing live in rock bands.
The things I was capable of then compared to now!
So, big yourself up and enjoy your body while your still relatively young.
started at 3 clean last week.
now at 4 clean .wish me luck guyss and good luck to those tryin it out
edit: yall.. i just did my first clean muscle up, this works!!!!!!!
After a month of doing this went from 0 to 5. Definitely works 👍
I can't even do a proper one :/ but I'm working on it :D
Give it like 4 weeks, then you can do 5.
I know what you feel bro
Just do negative pull up, body row
Zer0's Supremacy, most of us started there. Keep it up.
Just start with the australian pull ups or how theyre called.. go to a dip bar and try to pull your body to the bar when youre in a 45degree angle or so.. makes it easier :D you can also try with resistance bands ^^
10 in one set
If I do many sets, I do :
10 8 6 4 (i can't more)
Exactly as mine too
We're at the same level
Same
Same
Same but after 10 pull ups I do 10 leg raises hanging bar then chin ups (most number I can do) I'm 14.
I'm gonna try this challenge and I thought it would be fun to share my progress here (not much to do during qurantine). I will write something every week. At the start max was around 8 or 9.
- Week 1: I just finished the first week. It wasn't hard, I think that today the last set felt easier than the other days.
- Week 2: Just did the last workout of the second week and it was really hard. The first 2 workouts of the week were hard but i managed to finish them correctly. In the last workout (today) I did the first 2 sets with 10 reps (I struggled using perfect form with the last ones) but in the last one I couldn't do more than 6, I was very tired. To compensate I did the last 4 as negatives and than I added a set of 6 to get over 30 repetitions. I hope this is ok, I tried really hard but I just couldn't do more. As I am now 20 reps seems impossible to get in just a month.
- Week 3: This week felt easier than the last one. I struggled a bit today trying to get 8 reps each set and in the last one I took some seconds to rest while hanging. Yet I think I could not get more than 10/11 reps but we will see next week with the 3 sets of 10-12.
- Week 4: I've had neck pain, i tried to do the first workout but the pain got worse so I decided to rest this week. While resting I thought about my goals and I understood that doing 20 pull ups in a row isn't one of them. My goals are to get stronger and to unlock the front lever so I decided to stop with this workout and start with weighted pull ups and more specific front lever training. It makes no senso to do a workout that you don't enjoy. My advice is set specific goals that you really want to achieve and go after them. Anyway I tested my max and it increased to 12 at last. Maybe I will try my max again after some time with weighted pull ups ad see if I got to 20.
11alex99 06 im stuck at 14.
keep it up and post about it! great progress
I am 60 years old and have been doing pull ups for few years. The most I have ever done in one set is about 15. I started adding a weighted backpack, 15lbs, to try and get stronger but it has not helped me increase my total. I have never been a muscular person, quite the opposite, thin and athletic. I am going to give this program a try, I did the first workout tonight without the extra weight focussing on form, we'll see how it goes.
Well... I'll start today posting here my progress of reps in a row, from each week, wish me luck :)
•Week 1• 5-6 reps with good technique
Good luck!
You forgot or stopped
max pullups 35, ive been doing calisthenics for almot 5 years now. Keep it up everyone!

Hi,i cant do a single one
Wow, I just got into calisthenics after a long(few years) of not working out. I did some p90x before but did not fall in love with it. Something about calisthenics got me hooked. Seasoned "calisthenians lol" like yourself are my inspiration. I am now at 10 strict form, I hope to get there one day. Cheers.
@@AK-nm1jh Train negative pull ups. That helped me alot progessively.

I did this program on two different occasions, first in 2019 and then a second time last year and both times it got me up to 20 reps in a row. Thank you fitnessfaqs

I did week one easily but cant do 8 pull up in week 2 what should i do
Maybe u can keep doing week 1 adding 1 or 2 more reps every set and in one or two weeks u should be able to go with the next step
@@pedrocaules6230 ty bro
I can only do 3, most I've ever done is 7 but i'm not sure if my form was perfect then
I’m really impressed with your wrist and shoulder stability. Your wrists keep a line with forearm and your shoulders don’t hunch at all. What’s your secret?
9 reps is my current max (starting with dead hang and finishing chin over bar, I can do 10-11 but these last 1-2 reps are a bit sloppy), took me 9 months to get there from 0
From 0? Height and weight? When you started?
15 reps seem like a threshold for most people no matter how beauty or strong you are, after that your reps will be very slow and struggling
Once you've got 15, I highly recommend adding weight in some way or other or you almost definitely will hit a plateau.
I went from 0 pull ups to 8 after working out for a whole year ;-;
that's ok. 8 is better than 0. keep at it, different people progress at different rates.
believe it or not, thats significant and realistic progress.
give up life man
That's awesome progress! Going from zero to eight pull-ups is a lot. Imagine adding another 8 in a year, then you'll be at sixteen!
8 is infinitely more than 0!
11 reps max.
I have been working out for 3-4 years, doing alternating sets of pull-ups and chin-ups once per week without fail (twice per week for about a year a while ago).
6 x ~12 reps per session (though I don't do the full set in one go as I can't). I do them with 10kG added now (though 11 is my max with no added weight). It's usually something like 6/4/3 reps for a set (brief pause of 30s or so between those 'mini-sets'). They could be considered myo-reps I believe.
I am not overweight or old and am male.
I go to failure on every set (I believe; perhaps my mind is weaker than I think; hard to be certain sometimes)
My rest times are longer than suggested in video, partly as I'm going to failure, so typically about 6 mins.
I use strict form with full RoM (no deadhang as I don't think it's important but chin over bar and full arm extension, no kipping, no bs, somewhat slow eccentrics).
I drink whey after the workout and casein before bed.
It is difficult for me to understand how many people achieve far more reps than I can with such apparent ease.
Currently, I'm going to try to remove the 10Kg weight I usually use and focus exclusively on form (specifically, arching back more so chest sticks out, not that my form is awful).
I've seen a similar video suggesting high volume (3x per week) for this kind of thing... my main critique of that is just that it seems poorly sustainable for a single muscle group. I do two other types of workout (push and abs). If I did all 3x per week... that's 9 workouts a week. Perhaps that's needed to hit 20... I don't know.
Feels like I do most things right but make no progress; frustrating. Nutrition (specifically carbs and fats i.e. energy) and genetics are the main suspects I can think other than my unconventional 6/4/3 style of sets (which I'll address with weight removal).
7 pull ups but I am working on increasing that number
Current max of 15, 30 pull ups legoooooo! Love endurance training, time to get back to it haha
5 explosive pull, slow negative pullups.....I struggle with the last one though.
I love pull-ups. I cycle through all the grips: pronated, supinated and neutral grip. My best ever was 33 reps with the N-grip. I make sure to hit 20 a day to keep this skill sharp. It helps keeping a low body fat percentage. The lighter you are- the better.
Remember I achieved 13 pull ups very easily and took 2 years for me to do twenty. Then I stopped working out and got fat and again I can only do 13 :D So the lesson is that don`t get fat :D
Getting weight on you can be useful to be stronget
@@masta1866 It's better to use a temporary weight though.
Sounds like pull ups are like grip strength in that your base is your base and that one doesn't stray too far from it.
I can do 5. But it kills me
Yeap!
Chris Fitzgerald-fleming Then you should stick to sets of 3reps.
With the 2-3 min rest he recommended.
I think after a week of consistency. By week two you should be able to do 1 set of 5 WITHOUT feeling like you’re struggling
@@TXSuplex wow thanks. I am gonna do it . This vids are really good . Recovering from a broken foot and those are so helpful and motivating . They've got class . Cheers man
i remember when i used to work up it take me a huge effort to add a single rep after 10-11-12...now i'll start over i seems pretty hard for me just to jump from week 4 to 5 and 6...well if im being honest i used to train 4 or 5 sets...so maybe 3 or 2 isnt as hard as im thinking...i will try it
Started Dec 1st, bought home gym equipment on Black Friday. Been taking a ton of vitamins and supplements with high protein diet was able to go from 3 pull ups to 15 clean up and down in a row on dec 15th. 👀 Really excited to see how much I can do months now. I workout for hours until I cant do anymore then ensure lots of sleep and rest till no longer sore and do it again. Now I'm doing every other day.
8 pullup this morning, goal is 15 with good form
20 of May / Max. 5
Day 1
5 strict pull ups per set .. Last month I started with 1 pull up. I have lots of work to do..
I'm 67 years old and recently did 15 reps. My goal is 20.
Best, 4 ): Goal: 10, which is still beginner lol
What is the workout
I went from 1 to 5 in two weeks,my goal is 10 too;if you need a good exercise do sets of five pull ups with 30 seconds rest,if you can't do a normal pull up,jump on the bar and slowly get down in 4 seconds;i guarantee you'll see good results
Do 4 the first day, 5 the next day, then 6 the next day. I did that with push ups and went 5 push ups in a row to 20.
Update?
I feel that
