I used to do 15 pull ups easy. Then did not exercise for 4 years, gained 35kg weight (80ish pounds) and started working out again almost a year ago. Now I can do 4-5 again, I am still overweight but so I am basically doing weighted pullups making me stronger in the long term :)
Today I tried lowering myself from the bar for the first time. It's a lot harder than it looks, especially if you're female and lack upper body strength. I could only do about 6 or 7 reps before my arms and grip gave out.
You could just do scapular pull ups while your grip strength endurance is developing. I feel that if your grip is lacking, you'll recruit more and more from your arms instead of your back
Will definitely try this out! Thank you for sharing this. One of the biggest things that has helped me build muscle has been a custom meal plan from Next Level Diet. I use it every week and I love it!
This program seems so simple! Which excites me! A LOT! this year my goal is to be able to do my first ever unassisted pull up 💪🏼 my goal was to do one by my 33rd birthday in May but really I'll be happy with any progress ☺️ thanks for this! I'm going to try adding it into my program and see how I do
Eugene this is a bit unrelated, but I am loving the Ganbaru app, but I would like to add MyFitnessPal meals directly to the app(copy paste or import), see if its possible with the Devs to add that feature. Thank you again, your program has changed the game for me.
I'm going to thank you for this, I used to be able to do a solid 10, I stopped for about a 1 year. I went back to the park a few days ago and I could barely do 3, I was so disappointed! Time to get back to it! Thank you for this video!
Thought this was a video for more advanced pull ups and similar exercises ie. a muscle up, but if I had found this when I was just starting it would have been helpful. Great vid
I'm doing Back & Chest today, I've been wanting to build pull ups into my workout arrogantly thinking if I just do back training, being able to do my first pull up will be easier, but alas, I still can't do it, time to build in the right progression protocols to get me there XD
It's not necesarily a bad idea, i've done that and it worked. If you train your muscles they will get stronger in ALL movements to varying degree. Though still doing the exact movement you want to improve is better way to train your neurons to perform that.
Would flipping the sets/reps have the same effect or is it better to space them out? I find it far easier to commit to 2 sets of 6 rather that 6 sets of 2 for example.
It's probably good to do both of those! We each have a preference, probably because we're "good" at it or it feels easier so whichever one we "hate" is probably the one we should do more of!
You can say months, plural, for many if not most people who only just start out training. Even with dedicated training, I see plenty of people whose only goal is a pull-up still take 3-4 months of dedicated training. And these are not unfit people who experience obesity or anything. For women especially, pull-ups are so much harder. Most people really are not very fit, not to mention that many people carry a lot of additional weight around, making pull-ups massively harder than when you're relatively lean. So, if you're still far off after a month of training, do not despair. That's totally normal.
Hey Eugene, I've been between 0-10 pull ups before and now am at about 5. Thats the context. I recently have found that I like doing pulling movements with a thumbless grip. I know its important to follow through ones fitness journey where one is at but I just don't want to reinforce some disordered movement pattern that will bottleneck me when im further down my path. For the record, I can do more pull ups and enjoy them more thumbless. Thoughts?
I did thumbless pull ups for awhile when I was recovering from elbow tendonitis and I don't think it is a bad thing. It shouldn't affect your pulling mechanic in a negative way. But I would also add in some hanging exercises (like knee or leg raises) using the thumb to help develop your gripping strength. Or do farmer's carries to work on grip. I think if you increased your grip strength then you might find it not so uncomfortable to use your thumb when pulling.
I have a question that I can't find the original diet video - which one in which you answered this I believe-i have the ganbaru app but should I be eating less on on rest days , when I'm typically more sedentary? Or would I keep the calories the same but reduced the carbs and fats ?

Exactly what happened to me! Gained 15lbs, lost it, and I can do 5-6 bodyweight but working on 2-3 reps of weighted!
@@evec2022 Nice! In the long run we'll become beasts in anything bodyweight!

Or even just doing dead hangs to work on your grip. If you want to work on two things at once, do knee ups while hanging on you non-pull up workouts.
It's surprisingly challenging! That's why I keep the reps super low

That face when you can't even lower yourself from the bar because your elbows just give out instantly :(
Resistance bands can assist in building the foundation of strength you need for a full negative pull-up.
Or if you have access to rings, rows are a good way to help your connective tissue adjust.
Check your technique, some elbow issues are actually caused by poor coordination/alignment
Try doing australian pull ups, you can use a table if you dont have a bar. By the way it's been a month, how much progress di you see?

Just saw a dude do 105 pullups straight. He was holding the bar for over 10 mins. It was the most incredible thing I've ever seen.
How tf
I bet he was skinny.

nah i cant believe this. not attainable unless your an outlier freak tbh
Oh this is PERFECTO! Thank you, Eugene. ~Irene~
Hello bro how are you ? Big fan of yours and happily second viewer of this video...
Eugene i love ur shirt❤️❤️
Workouts are your happy hours
This thumbnail is insane!!!!
Does this routine apply too weighted pull ups
0:20 C A L V E S
I developed inner elbow pain on right arm any tips to heal this?
Facts 💯
I can do sets of five with neutral grip. Is that good?
At 210 pounds and around 15% body fat I do struggle with more than 5 pull ups. Always feel gassed after a couple of sets
What band is on the T shirt?
Polyphia?
I achieved one arm pull up
is this a home gym?
Yes
I've been practicing for almost a year now but never managed to increase my pullups, I give in after 2 or max 3 and I'm not even heavy...
Would flipping the sets/reps have the same effect or is it better to space them out? I find it far easier to commit to 2 sets of 6 rather that 6 sets of 2 for example.

It might even take like a month to get your first pull up , so don't lose hope and be consistent 😁

@@lucasseuren4180 💯 👍
First grow hair to incredible length. Then do pull ups.
Meanwhile, me here who can do 20 reps in a row wondering what I should do next.
One arm pull ups
weighted, obviously
@@1729krish Yeah, my max is 30+ kg , my goal is 45+ kg
How much do you weigh?
what day should i do this routine, if i’m in a PPL split
Pull day

But how do I get my first chest-to-bar pull up?
practice your pullups, work on weighted pullups to build your explosiveness then just attempt them
👊🏾🤝🏾
Korean ?
The weight part is so important I was able to do sets of 8, but gained around 3-5 kg and now barely 4 😓
Why are you so gorgeous
Will give these a go once my elbow issues flare down abit

Not necessary. Up to you! The app will let you modify training/non training days if you wish
First pushup please? 🥹
Thanks Uncle Eugene 🙏🏽
