After months of weight loss and training just got myself to max 4 reps without bands this week...took me 17 sets to hit the 30...may be basic but still feels great
Yes it comes with a lot of practice and training. I weigh 150 lbs., max bench 154 and shoulder press 88. Been trying 99 for 9 months still haven't got there.
Jeff's wife: looks like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Jeff: that's right, I have to go back to bed and wake up on the other side of the bed to avoid any muscle imbalances.
It depend how tall you are and how much you weigh. a dude who's 5feet2 and weighs 50kg will do better than a 6feet4 guy who weighs 100kg if they have the same proportions of muscle mass. (even if the tall guy is more muscular)
I was a boy. They were two girls. Can I make it any more obvious? I am the ULTIMATE LOVER on this platform. Don't enter my ch*nnel if you are not above a certain age, dear marc

Hey Jeff, I am 60 and have been working on my pull-ups for 6 years. I do 100 pull-ups and use a 3 minute egg timer in between sets. It takes me 8 sets. I used your technique and it helped. Thx for the great videos.
thatkindofguy234 I follow Dr Ben Boccichio. He’s in his 70’s and looks amazing. His theory is work to failure. He teaches seniors. I just did my push-ups. 200 of them, 3 minute egg timer in between. Work to failure each set. Nice to keep the workouts shorter than 30 minutes. Then do something different the next day.
@@jamesdellaneve9005 what advice would you give to someone that can do a few pull ups but not go high enough to be able to pass the bar, beacuse of not being able to fully bend one arm much beyond 90 degreese?
@@djam7484 I would get some exercise bands. I used a very thick one which allowed me to do many more reps than just pulling on my body. You tie the flat band on the bar and step on it. It works great. I did this for a year. One time, I was in a hotel and had my round exercise band. I had it attached to the door. I was down on my knee and because the band is much weaker than my weight was doing 20 to 30 reps. I got very sore doing it this way. BTW, I have a left arm that can’t rotate and doesn’t straighten all the way. As a result, I can’t do planking. Just modify and see how it goes. I use perfect push-up device for push-ups because of my weak left wrist.
I am 43, don't have big muscles, 75 kg. But normal training for me is 50 reps for 10min. I do just 45 sec. between reps. Start at 12 reps and end with about three.
@@javierdelgado1554 i recently hit 2 full range pullups with the 45lb plate as max, then got drunk the next day and injured both my arms bad in arm wrestling. My brachialis was on fire for weeks. Could berily move my arms. Just started back at it now being about a month after and i can only do so much before my joints start flaring up. Sucks

51 reps in 4 sets! they key was to do as much as you can in the first set because the latter sets are going to be that much tougher. awesome challenge, thanks Jeff and Jesse!
Jeff Cavaliere issues a pullup challenge and then obviously holds himself back to encourage all of us mere mortals to try it. I see what you did there Jeff, I see what you did :)
How can you not love Jeff Cavaliere? Seriously. I look forward to seeing these two each time plus they’re giving us fitness tips. It’s like a mini soap opera for the bro’s. Love it
Rewatched this video & I finally encouraged myself to do this pull up challenge. My progress: set 1: 15 set 2: +7 = 22 set 3: +6 = 28 set 4: +5 = 33 set 5: +5 = 38 set 6: +5 = 43 set 7: +5 = 48 set 8: +2 = 50 Total time: 7mins 32secs I cannot beat Jeff.
Jesse has this look on his face when he does the pullups, as if he saw his whole village being pillaged and burned down to the ground right in front of his eyes, and he swears for revenge!
I appreciate the honesty in this video. Other calisthenics guys show hundreds of pull-ups in perfect form but it’s edited. Makes me feel better that I can only do 9-12 on my first set.
I'm 64 years old and I've been doing this challenge for several weeks using a 10 minute period to reach 50 reps. I actually got it down to 7 sets but then tried it with the 30 second rest period in between sets. Much harder but I still did it in 9 sets. Not bad for an old geezer.
I really like how you guys are both sharing the great knowledge, discipline AND the human and personable side of knowing you both. I think it really kicks the connection to your audience. Thanks for all you both do! Be safe and stay healthy
Watching this I was like “dude you could just do 5 pullups a set 8 times and get to 40 that’s easy” then proceeded to try it after and got smoked. I barely made it to 25 before having to take a long break 😅
@@Msreesaranyan I can also do 50 in 8 sets with of course long breaks of more than 1 min. Jeff and Jessie literally took 20-25 seconds of break which was insane.
I do Facepulls almost everytime i go to the gym. I wait til im done with everything then do them. I normally stick to doing sets of 10 with 30lbs. Do any of y'all do them? If so how many and how much weight?
@@angelone1839 I second @Sean Bhatti I also do two handed banded and go for a set of 20 almost every day if possible, don't forget to extend the arms over head to finish each rep;)
Jeff I absolutely love the pull up contest. I got to tell you this means a lot to me to watch you guys do this ... because when I was 59 years old in 2007 ( I'm 75 now) I set my goal to be able to do 60 pull-ups in my 60th year and 3 months into my 60th year I hit 68 pullups. I gave myself a few more minutes between sets of 10 maybe I gave myself 5 minutes and then maybe near the end I gave myself maybe 20 minutes but after that it didn't really matter cuz I was done. Now I'm 75 years old and my goal is to do 75 pull-ups and I got to tell you this s*** is really hard at this age but I'm up to 30 pull-ups I just started in January this year. And I'm going to the New York State Fair I'm going to the recruiters for the Marines, Army, Air Force Reserve, Navy and the Coast Guard where they have a pullup challenge. I'm going to do pull-ups for those guys and I'm going to walk away with really good t-shirts so that's my motivation. I love your channel I tell everybody at the YMCA about it that they got to watch you. you know exactly what you're doing you are the best coach. you explain stuff and you do a really good job. you really helped me and motivate me. so thank you!
Just tried it myself and set the following: - Must be done in 10 minutes (try to mimic video) - 50 rep goal (to go against Jeff) Results: Set 1: 10 Set 2: 6 Set 3: 4 Set 4: 5 Set 5: 5 Set 6: 5 Set 7: 8 Set 8: 7 Total: 50 Total time: 9:53 It was tough but made it! Not perfectly accurate to what they did but still a good test.
I am 59 and I do three sets of 12 but with a longer time between each set. I do this everyday. My personal record for just one set is 13. My goal is 20 for one set. I saw online that a Marine, age 18-23 has to do 23 pull-ups in one set to score 100 on their physical fitness test.
Hey Jeff, I just wanna ask if you could make a video on fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibres and how to grow them. It would help a lot of athletes here.
He did . Power and strength exercises is for fast twitch and he did that . Slow twitch is by doing light weight for a lot of reps till your arms can't move and that is it nothing more to it
I just discovered that my left side muscles are weaker than the right ones. EVERY left muscle... Who else wants Jeff to make a video on how to overcome this problem??? (Mind-muscle connection)
Do single side dumbbell exercises. Say your right arm can bicep curl 15kg for 4x12 but your left arm can only do 10. Do a standard progressive overload with the weak arm, but keep the weight for the right the same, until they even out. Helped me overcome an imbalance in my single arm dumbbell row.
Salcuba ... I had this same problem. It truly IS all about mind-muscle connection. I overcame it by beginning with static pose / isometrics while focusing on my weak (left) side. From there I made an effort to concentrate my mind on the weak side while doing sets (not easy in the beginning, but will soon become second nature) Bottom line: *You can do it* All the best ...
@@slopper I saw that one, didn't really help. My problem is that I can only do half the amount of reps if I focus on working my left side in compound movements, and I'm pretty sure that my right side takes over after a few reps, when the left gets tired :(
I just tried this. I got to 50 in 7 sets in around 7 minutes. I think the only reason why I was able to do this so quickly is because a few days ago I finished the 22-day pull-up challenge. I'm sure that helped. I think Jeff made the mistake of going beyond 10 on his first set. He got a bit too close to his max rep, and that makes a huge difference on the amount of reps you can do in the following sets. Here's how it went for me: 1. 10 2. 16 3. 24 4. 30 5. 36 6. 42 7. 50 (I was hanging for a few seconds between each of the last 5 reps). If anyone's interested, I'll be posting a video soon with the results of three 22-day (pull-ups, push-ups, and posture) challenges from Athlean-X.
28 38 45 50 3 min, 12 sec. Last week I managed a 34 strict rep set, but still can't do a one armed pull up. I'm on Test, Deca, EQ, and Cardarine... So I'm sure that helped significantly.
@@armir_ko thanks, dude. Even before the gear, pull-ups had been my main back day exercise since highschool... Where I think I started out able to do 7 or 8, right from the get go. Over a decade later, now, my usual heavy back day starts with +75 lbs weighted sets of 13-16 reps. My other lifts are all lacklustre, but I know if I ever need to climb an infinite series of walls for some reason, I'm ready.
I got a pull up bar for home at the beginning of september and since then the majority of my pull workout has been pull ups and chin up forms, 2 days out of the week. I reached 10 max (weighing 160lbs) rep last week and I've never done pull up before in my time starting to work out since beginning of the year. I got 9 reps today for a 40 rep challenge, it took me 10 sets to complete: 9, 4, 4, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 3, 2. All I can say is I am proud of how well I did even if I went in thinking I could do it in less. Still got my "pro" card barely lol, better than what I think people I know could do. I think this is an interesting challenge to perform once a week to really push some potential gains. Definitely makes you feel like a boss the better you get at it.
I love pull ups; separating the men from the boys. I started doing wide grip pull ups about 2 years ago and for swimming it has made me much faster. It takes real focus and good muscle development to get pull up sets in. Rock on!
I can usually do about 25 pullups with good form reping it out arms extended fully, but then I tried this and having to hold at the bottom raises the intensity to an extreme. I did the 50 in 5 sets but I went into it thinking I would do 3. Very humbling.
No, calisthenics guys does a lot of swing and steps(on ladder bar) movements pull ups aren't easy for anyone in the world and everyone can't do it but those who do doesn't have that big difference in reps.

I love how it always sounds like there’s a punk band practicing in the background
Thanks for always making these videos JeffCavaliereAthleanXdotCom and Jesse!
I built mine up using the assisted machine, from a terrible 3 two years ago, to 16 now without using assistance, it's a great way to do it.
Legend has it, if you look into a mirror at three a.m., say JeffCavaliereAthleanx.com three times, and do fifty facepulls, Jeff will appear
Jesse: "Part of the strategy"
... aka, he's extremely tired and burned out xD
Watching this I was like “dude you could just do 5 pullups a set 8 times and get to 40 that’s easy” then proceeded to try it after and got smoked. I barely made it to 25 before having to take a long break 😅
Im proud i did 40 pull ups in 5 sets, my reps were 12,7,7,8, and 6
@@MrThatrealshit with long ass rest periods
@@Msreesaranyan I can also do 50 in 8 sets with of course long breaks of more than 1 min.
Jeff and Jessie literally took 20-25 seconds of break which was insane.
I make it easy any way any sets any number
@@MrThatrealshit nice. Just did mine today. Did 50 in 6 sets. 15, 11, 6, 8,6 (with ~ 2 minutes rest)
So amazing to see how far Jesse has come! So proud of you man!!!
"Come on old man" , remembered that he's older than my dad. 😂😂😂😂😂
Are you a kid?
@@asimp5259 ?
@@asimp5259 obviously :/
Jeff's pullups are a thing of art
Next Video: Jeff Cavalier Facepull Test
would be too easy for them
I do Facepulls almost everytime i go to the gym. I wait til im done with everything then do them. I normally stick to doing sets of 10 with 30lbs. Do any of y'all do them? If so how many and how much weight?
@@angelone1839 one set to failure 6 days a week, with a resistance band with two handles on it. I walk further away for more resistance.
@@shadowlinklink cool. I need to buy some resistance bands. They will also help in trying to be able to do a 1 armed pullup.
@@angelone1839 I second @Sean Bhatti I also do two handed banded and go for a set of 20 almost every day if possible, don't forget to extend the arms over head to finish each rep;)
Man Jeff seems like such a genuine dude. Really good to see both of you having fun in this one haha
Jeff could’ve done all 50 in his first set made it more respectable for Jesse
Doubt Jeff could have gotten to 20 first set. He did sandbag the 3rd rep and beyond...
@@whaterfoo NO!
@@Msreesaranyan yes! Lol Jeff needs 2% more body fat to look healthy.
@@whaterfoo jeff can actually do a max of 23 pullups I have seen it in one of his videos
@@whaterfoo na he couldnt
Both very good personalities, a lot of space in my feed for more videos like this 👌🏻
Jeff wakes up twice once on each side to avoid muscle imbalances
Ha!ha!ha! Cracked me up!
LMAO
Lmfao
Jeff I absolutely love the pull up contest. I got to tell you this means a lot to me to watch you guys do this ... because when I was 59 years old in 2007 ( I'm 75 now) I set my goal to be able to do 60 pull-ups in my 60th year and 3 months into my 60th year I hit 68 pullups. I gave myself a few more minutes between sets of 10 maybe I gave myself 5 minutes and then maybe near the end I gave myself maybe 20 minutes but after that it didn't really matter cuz I was done. Now I'm 75 years old and my goal is to do 75 pull-ups and I got to tell you this s*** is really hard at this age but I'm up to 30 pull-ups I just started in January this year. And I'm going to the New York State Fair I'm going to the recruiters for the Marines, Army, Air Force Reserve, Navy and the Coast Guard where they have a pullup challenge. I'm going to do pull-ups for those guys and I'm going to walk away with really good t-shirts so that's my motivation. I love your channel I tell everybody at the YMCA about it that they got to watch you. you know exactly what you're doing you are the best coach. you explain stuff and you do a really good job. you really helped me and motivate me. so thank you!
I tried this yesterday, took me 20 mins and 11 sets to do it, it was tough!
I'm really impressed with Jesse , that man doesn't give up
Jeff also is a true Mentor
Jesse still be tasting his soup 3 weeks after eating it !!!
Just tried it myself and set the following:
- Must be done in 10 minutes (try to mimic video)
- 50 rep goal (to go against Jeff)
Results:
Set 1: 10
Set 2: 6
Set 3: 4
Set 4: 5
Set 5: 5
Set 6: 5
Set 7: 8
Set 8: 7
Total: 50
Total time: 9:53
It was tough but made it! Not perfectly accurate to what they did but still a good test.
How old are you?
7:20 "lil pop in my shoulder on that one" LMFAOOO
I am 59 and I do three sets of 12 but with a longer time between each set. I do this everyday. My personal record for just one set is 13. My goal is 20 for one set. I saw online that a Marine, age 18-23 has to do 23 pull-ups in one set to score 100 on their physical fitness test.
forget this look at jesse's quads, now thats progress
Some says Jeff is the only human with heart in each side to keep the balance.
Hey Jeff, I just wanna ask if you could make a video on fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibres and how to grow them. It would help a lot of athletes here.
He did . Power and strength exercises is for fast twitch and he did that . Slow twitch is by doing light weight for a lot of reps till your arms can't move and that is it nothing more to it
this kind of videos help me feel more motivated
I just discovered that my left side muscles are weaker than the right ones. EVERY left muscle... Who else wants Jeff to make a video on how to overcome this problem??? (Mind-muscle connection)
He has made a few, including "How to Fix Muscle Imbalance (EQUALIZE YOUR SIZE!)", and "4 Causes of UNEVEN MUSCLES (and how YOU can FIX them!)"
Do single side dumbbell exercises. Say your right arm can bicep curl 15kg for 4x12 but your left arm can only do 10. Do a standard progressive overload with the weak arm, but keep the weight for the right the same, until they even out. Helped me overcome an imbalance in my single arm dumbbell row.
Salcuba ... I had this same problem. It truly IS all about mind-muscle connection. I overcame it by beginning with static pose / isometrics while focusing on my weak (left) side. From there I made an effort to concentrate my mind on the weak side while doing sets (not easy in the beginning, but will soon become second nature)
Bottom line: *You can do it* All the best ...
@@slopper I saw that one, didn't really help. My problem is that I can only do half the amount of reps if I focus on working my left side in compound movements, and I'm pretty sure that my right side takes over after a few reps, when the left gets tired :(
@@georgeaylard1580 what do you do for compound movements? My biggest issues are with pull ups, squat, bench and handstand
It's so nice to see Jeff in a somewhat rare form where he's not recording for a video. This is the "off cam" Jeff.
Jesse has done more pull ups in the first set than I have done in my entire life 😅
Good, light hearted approach, guys.
The earth does dips on Jeff
I have done this in 1 set! Ill film a video tomorrow
I just tried this. I got to 50 in 7 sets in around 7 minutes. I think the only reason why I was able to do this so quickly is because a few days ago I finished the 22-day pull-up challenge. I'm sure that helped.
I think Jeff made the mistake of going beyond 10 on his first set. He got a bit too close to his max rep, and that makes a huge difference on the amount of reps you can do in the following sets.
Here's how it went for me:
1. 10
2. 16
3. 24
4. 30
5. 36
6. 42
7. 50 (I was hanging for a few seconds between each of the last 5 reps).
If anyone's interested, I'll be posting a video soon with the results of three 22-day (pull-ups, push-ups, and posture) challenges from Athlean-X.
I thought they went always to failure, I might be wrong didn't watch with sound on, yet.
@@filippecha7909 Jesse did. The last few sets, he was barely doing 2 reps.
28
38
45
50
3 min, 12 sec.
Last week I managed a 34 strict rep set, but still can't do a one armed pull up. I'm on Test, Deca, EQ, and Cardarine... So I'm sure that helped significantly.
@@michaelnewton1754 That is freaking impressive! Nicely done!
@@armir_ko thanks, dude. Even before the gear, pull-ups had been my main back day exercise since highschool... Where I think I started out able to do 7 or 8, right from the get go. Over a decade later, now, my usual heavy back day starts with +75 lbs weighted sets of 13-16 reps. My other lifts are all lacklustre, but I know if I ever need to climb an infinite series of walls for some reason, I'm ready.
Jeff is pull ups master ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jeff always says “I’m gonna leave it there” when it’s so obvious he would’ve failed the next rep😂
Exactly loool. He can't fool us
The challenges in the programs are really good for pushing you past what you're normally going to do.
Next challenge: 1RM weighted one arm pull up!
Everyone's shoulders disliked that comment
@@moonlight-hm4bh 🤣🤣🤣 I guess everyone needs some stronger shoulders!
😂😂💪🏼
Laughs in Chris Heria
These more casual videos are a blast. Like this we can see more of Jeff and Jesse's personally
16 pull-ups for me. Why did I test my max reps yesterday 😭😭🤣
This was great and enjoyable and conversational and filled with personality and realness. More vids like this. Enjoyed
Glad to see I'm not the only one who's pull up rep numbers drastically reduce to 2-3 reps as the sets increase xD
My girl wants you to make a video on booty gains, and I fully support her decision.
Me: (proud of myself I can do 10 pullups perfectly)
(Sees Jessie do it)
Me: (no longer proud)
I think 10 is pretty impressive so yes I think jesse's got a pretty strong back and I'll be proud of myself if I ever reach his level.
Damn, I'm strugling with getting 2 in a row. I'm 17, ao plenty of time to catch you guys
@@nikasbelekas1266 You’ll get there mate, just stay consistent with your training.
@@nikasbelekas1266don't forget to do negative only reps after you fail, one of the main reasons my pull ups increased so much.
He did 11. As a lean guy who has been training for several years now, it is expected. You should be still happy with where you are.
I got a pull up bar for home at the beginning of september and since then the majority of my pull workout has been pull ups and chin up forms, 2 days out of the week. I reached 10 max (weighing 160lbs) rep last week and I've never done pull up before in my time starting to work out since beginning of the year. I got 9 reps today for a 40 rep challenge, it took me 10 sets to complete: 9, 4, 4, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 3, 2. All I can say is I am proud of how well I did even if I went in thinking I could do it in less. Still got my "pro" card barely lol, better than what I think people I know could do. I think this is an interesting challenge to perform once a week to really push some potential gains. Definitely makes you feel like a boss the better you get at it.
Jeff inspired me to upload fitness videos, I just posted my 300+ pounds deadlift attempt.
Keep trolling
Just tried it. 40 in 8 sets, although it was considerably challenging. I Love these challenges.
This just in, Jesse has recurved 300 mail-in pull-ups making him the official Pull-up challenge winner
This challenge was so interesting I watched it all the way through, loved it.
Crossfiters be thinking they can do all their reps in one set with that kipping crap
That's the ugliest of all exercises 😂
Aren't Calisthenics and CrossFit the same?
@@Loremipsum6665 no
@@Loremipsum6665 No no no no! Look up Zakaveli Thadon's 50 pull ups versus CrossShit dying fish kipping pull ups :D
@@wallrider73 Ok...I got it. Actually I've seen people confuse Calisthenics with CrossFit and criticise Calisthenics.That's why I asked the question
I love pull ups; separating the men from the boys. I started doing wide grip pull ups about 2 years ago and for swimming it has made me much faster. It takes real focus and good muscle development to get pull up sets in. Rock on!
I can usually do about 25 pullups with good form reping it out arms extended fully, but then I tried this and having to hold at the bottom raises the intensity to an extreme. I did the 50 in 5 sets but I went into it thinking I would do 3. Very humbling.
How did your work up to 25? Any recommendations?
I just did this. I’m 13 years old. My max pull ups in a set is 10. I got to 40 in 10 sets. I’m happy. Thank you Jeff and Jesse.
Nice im 14 yrs and i needed 7 sets for fifty
Jeff getting a max of 8 reps in set 2 shows how hard Pull ups really are!!!
Well, when you have like 30secs rest. That doesn't help you either
@@jacure123 no it doesn't. I did this , it's very tough. Took me 8 sets to get 30 Pull ups
Two months ago, I couldn't do 1 pull up. Last week I got to 5 and backed it up with 3 and then 2! Thanks for your guidance.
Calisthenics athletes will have a smile after this
Lol yeah they are alright but no comparison
No, calisthenics guys does a lot of swing and steps(on ladder bar) movements pull ups aren't easy for anyone in the world and everyone can't do it but those who do doesn't have that big difference in reps.
@@ag135i what??
@AG your wrong, calisthenics is body weight training, not swinging, look at max true for example, they only swing when they are free styling
@AG maybe you need to train the pull up more, because experienced athletes can do a lot of them like it’s nothing
These guys are a proper dynamic duo 😂
Bro Jeff looks like the 100% white Barack Obama, he even sounds like him a little.
lmaooo
Bruhhhh
Not rlly imo
Um no? He doesn't look OR sound anything like Obama
Bruhhh he does sound like Obama. I can't unhear it now
Love the banter between them
Browney be like - its just a Piece of cake for me 😂
It's fun to watch you both enjoy the challenge. That looks hard af!
Jesse did really well most people wouldn't have been able to do 10 let alone 40.
i like it how Jeff smiles throughout the challenge ... cool guy
*who's here after browney did this challenge in 3 sets, and his brother did it in 4?*
Meeee
Me 😏
Lol, I wanna see that. I thought he was going to do it in one set in this video
Yep
