Alex faking pull ups being hard is so funny
Its easy go to failure and them try one xd
@@typicalskywars4025 it is not that easy to go to failure when you can do 100 pull ups 😑😂
@@ismaesp3698 100? He probably can do 1000 🤣
Don't underestimate one punch man
@@ismaesp3698 they cant do that many in a row actually. They focus on strength mostly not that much endurance.
The iconic 'Blue shorts' will never get old.
Anonymusk does he have another colour?
@@funwithcalisthenics Well, he used red ones when portraying a beginner...
Are the same from the begining and has never been washed
True lol
I went to Amazon, eBay, and every online store and all the same color are gone. Hmm.
Being sarcastic
Coming back after 1 year to this to say: I took this challenge to the extreme level and ended up doing 28 pull ups at once. Thanks.
WOW nice job m8
I don't really understand workout A. May i ask how long did you rest, or you do exactly in the video: rest no more than 10 secs?
So you might be able to do 14 currently?
Get in!!

This guy calls 911 and ask if there's any emergency.

@@alvidema9896 hmm
Cmon now. He ain't Putin.
HAH.
He even has to put on red pants to really fake weakness :D
Maybe it's not fake. If the blue pants give him strength, removing them might make him lose it again.
His strength is contained in the blue shorts.
Hes Samson - but with pants.
Virgin red shorts Vs. Chad Blue shorts.
Haha
I'm a 71 yr old ex-Marine. Pullups use to be a permanent part of our PT workouts...of course that was back in the late 60's. Right now, I'm glad to do just one...maybe. I like this video because I believe that this is a method to help me get back on track. If you have any other advice for older men and women, it would be appreciated.
💯💯💯💯
Just use heavy weight pull up elastic rope or try starting with wall pull ups (Google it if you dont know how they look like)
I cannot do pull up in my entire life.. then i start working out . Diet . Loss fat. Now im able to do 3 pull up. Im so happy. I never achieve this in my life. I hope one day i can do 10 pull up.
Hi bro, how are you doing now? :)
@@nevowryt3736 for now i can only do 4 pull up. I still got a long way.. but i like my current body..
@@MrWarlanchello bro how many can you do now?
bar pull up still 4..
if curl pull up 8-10 @@azurezzz
@@MrWarlanc ahh, are you still working on pull ups?
After doing this for 8 weeks I went from 0 pull ups to 4 in a row which is my life time best.
Makes me feel a lot better about how I struggle with eight in a row. Let's get our numbers up dude
Rookie numbers i can do 2 in a row

Wish he won't do that again
@@khakilover-ci5rt I don't, it was a joke, he shows that a weaker version of himself or beginner self without the blue shorts, and with it a more advanced...
Only legends know el eggs did parkour before joining sven in calisthenicmovement i.e. before 2012
Yay finally got a heart . Thanks sven and alex👍
I knew it, in part
In fact, he was taekwondo practitioner even before doing parkour.
I did
@Ignacio Peñafiel Urzúa search el eggs on youtube and scroll all the way down to his oldest videos
The highest quality videos on UA-cam. Thanks a lot guys, I love the way you help people. Regards from Guatemala.
Your videos are incredible from push-up to pull-up. Hope to see more of these dedicated video for other exercises (squats, sit-up or V-up and more).
Alright, starting this tomorrow 2022/05/14 - will report my results after 9 weeks (8 week program plus a rest week). Current max is 8 pullups or 3 reps with 10kg added.
Holy crap I did not expect this much of a result. Only up to 10 max pullups, but 1 rep max for weighted is up from about 13kg to 23kg (maybe more, haven't pushed it super hard) and 20kg for 3 reps. Core strength is also way up. Climbing 2 grades harder than I was before. 1000% recommend this!
@@1729krish let's do it 💪

i love this comment
Best pull up video EVER! Thank you so much👍
Back then I was only able to do 2 -3 pull ups in very bad form ( chin did not clear the bar). Now I'm on phase 8 of Level 2 - Complete Calisthenics program and can do 8 weighted pull ups (+10kg). Thank you so much! Highly recommended for everyone.
Very nicely explained. Will check in after 8 weeks. Current status can’t do one pull up. Am doing assisted for last one month but obviously no real progress made. This workout of yours gives me renewed confidence.
watching reps at half speed is a serious game changer, you can check the dominant chain and also check minor differences of contraction. Very informative, watching this channel at half speed has taught me alot more than any other channel.
Thank you for all your hard work, CaliMove!! Rrrespectt
Started the program today with 40 reps in many small sets. Looking forward to the progress through the next weeks! :)
I like the progression vids, really useful.
Awesome guide. I went from 1 to 9 [max] pull-ups in about 1 year. I haven't been able to progress further but I will definitely make use of this advice
I went from 18 to 26 pull-ups in 8 weeks. Starting Aug 26 and finishing today Oct 27. Also gained 8 kg (from 70 to 78, I was doing other minor activities too though, so not just pull-ups).
I liked this program because it's quite diverse and I never felt bored.
Technique: I don't do perfect form, but I do decent enough, so full down with shoulder blades out and up until chin is over, legs are moving a little and when I go down I get a little bounce up (be careful with shoulders though, warm up properly).
Diet: I am skinny and could never bulk up, this time I decided to focus just on protein to get my 70g+ of it (my weight) daily. Proportion was 1 beef to 2 fish meals, so usually 3 in total daily. My secret is to eat just the meat/fish with nothing else and then if I am still hungry finish with whatever I want, so I enjoyed every meal I had! When I tried to bulk up some time ago I was eating too much carbs and the result was just stomach ache and a constant desire to throw up.
Over time improvement:
Max5: 75 -> 150
Lock-in: 5 -> 9
Pyramid: 13 -> 16
After lock-in training I usually had some strength to train one arm pull ups and hurt my left arm tendon in the process, so I had to stop it and focus just on the program.
I don't know if I will continue the program, but if I do, I will probably get a weight vest. As pyramid training, for example, takes about 1hr to complete (with 20s per rep rest increment).

Raw notes (I rarely skipped a training, so if you see max5 -> pyramid, I just didn't take notes of lock-in. also 1 week I couldn't go to where the bar is, so was doing push ups instead):

This is great though, you have put so much mass (hopefully most of it muscles) and still increased the number of pull ups!! Congrats mate
Seated pullups are actually a great finisher to force reps after high volume work. Underrated exercise.
Amazing workout! Here's my progress:
Day one: 10 pull ups Max
4 weeks later: 14 pull ups Max
I'm still in The middle of the program, But i really fell the progress every week, see you in four More weeks, greetings from México ❤
How many can you do now?
What are your stats now?
And Q for workout A: how much rest do you take btw sets/how many reps per set?
Love these videos. I tried the 3 sets of 8 pull ups every 2 days and you do negatives for all the pull up you couldn't do. Which for me was all of them starting out. With in two months I was doing all sets of regular pull up, no negatives needed.
Insane video bro keep it up loved it really helpful
this is pure gold, thanks!!
So strong man! We learning and trying our best to get a little big of strength and to get fiter
Loved dis vid so many tips
Thanks bro🔥🔥💪
Excellent as always guys!
Thanks, that's just what I needed. Started doing pull ups about 1 or 2 weeks ago, but I don't see that much progress. I will definitely try I out!
4:14 Best perfect form
Been waiting for this
Thanksss for that great video you are the best calisthenicsmovement!
Awesome video and tips. Thank you.
I started attempting pull up after seeing this video 6 months ago.. When I started hanging from the ledge(didn't have a pull up bar) my arms felt like filling with battery🔋 acid after 4 seconds.
Today I did a perfect form pull up from the ledge.. Thanks Calimove👍
Very helpful information
Thank you so much ❤️👍🏻
Great challenge! Will definitely try it out, thank you!
Excellent video! We are both in our 80's and are all about healthy aging. Getting older does have to mean getting sicker. We still strive for a strong body, a calm mind, & a positive outlook. Always looking to learn more. Thanks!
You guys are great!
@@nizargaabour9814 Thank you, Nizar. Keeping fit and eating well are keys to healthy aging.
Wow awesome content
And thank you for that explanation, really really needed all of the explaining.
Kind regards:)
The fact that I see this, without looking for it, right after I was struggling to do a second pull up is astonishing. Your timing is impeccable.
The power of data collection algorithms speaks for itself.
Amazing workout!
From 1 max pull up at day 1. To 10 max pull up after 8 weeks 😊
This is exactly what I needed at this point. I am plateaued at ~10-13 pullups. Will be doing this for next two months. Thanks for the video!!
Did it work for you?
@@dropsnooze5274 pyramid set worked very well. Went up to 20 unbroken pullups, with 50-60 total
@@nandanvaidya2266 Awesome, congratulation!
I've decide to give it a try, some variation can't be too bad. Started today with my current max of 9 so 45 in total and finished with 13 min
Thank you this is what i was looking for.
you are the best bro
i was trying to do more pullup ,
and here you are helping me ❤❤
Done! The Challenge was a great experience and i finally have been able to outgrow my plateau.
This video was so helpful. I'm at the point where I'm trying to vary my training from the simple 3 sets 8-12 reps. This is just what I needed.
Omg I just started wondering how to start doing pull ups and this video rolls out. Awesome, thank you
That's awesome. Good luck on your calisthenics journey.
Did you start on this program? I'm working towards my first pull up too
Your way of explaining is very good
Thank you for the detailed workout explanation especially for beginners like me. Challenge accepted! 👍😎🇦🇺
I think it's pretty good way to enhance pull ups skill. I appreciate it. I started the challenge from yesterday . I wish you could make a detailed video for six pack abs for intermediates.
Thanks a lot for this challenge .My pull up reps increased from 2 to 10-11 reps in 2 months
What workout did you do? A, b, or c?
Challenge Accepted
He looks so sad in his shirt and red pants while is blue-shorts version is so good at pullups :D
It doesn't matter
Great guide! Hit a plateau of xx pullups and im so gonna try this. See u in 8 weeks!
Going to start this program tomorrow. I’ll keep you all updated. I can do about 8 pull ups. But whenever I normally train them I always reach failure, and progress very slowly. I think more volume is the key.
Success?
So... Improved?
Amazing... , thanks COACH...
Their programs are amazing
Best video for beginner!!😎💪🏼
Aww Alex and Sven,You’re my teacher indeed.Learnt a lot from you guys🖤❤️
Hey guys! I'm a little bit late since I started the challenge a little late and had to do a week of deload but here's my progress...
I started with 10 rep max, 11th was not counted since my chin didn't clear the bar. 8 weeks later, my max is now 16 reps. Had to stop because i was already tired in terms of grip strength/endurance. But I think if I also trained my grip strength/endurance, I think I can reach 17 reps.
Just a little side note. I was only training twice a week cause I have to account for my body's recovery speed since I do not have a proper diet nor any vitamins and supplements cause I only come from a poor family. I don't know if my results are great or just normal but hey! any progress is great progress. Hope everyone did great as well in this 8 week challenge. If you have questions just let me know. Cheers!
any progress is great progress! 16 reps is a very respectable number for pullups, most people cant do more than 5 probably
Which workout you pick to get result? Are you sure you just doing 2 daya fraining in a week well thats a great numbers of pull ups!
Thank you very much for this great challenge!!! I also would like to know,do you plan making a video about sleeping? Wouldn't mind hearing useful tips from you
The Blue Shorts make the magic!
These blue shorts are the same from the begining of the channel and has never been washed
awesome man very useful thank you
Exactly what I needed.... You Guys read my mind right?
I am in!
The advice is strong thank you .
Thanks Alot Sir. Please also give us "8 Weeks Leg Workout Challenge" 🌿❤💪🏻
Bro there are leg routines
I can do like 3 One arm chinups on one set on gymnastic rings, I follow your mobility program started from the beginning now Im in level 2 to week 3! I feel really great following your program, I have your old programs before you guys recreated your website I had your level 1 program, and IYR (Increase your repetition ) special program. I'll update you about my mobility progression. You guys are great!
Love the star system for rating muscle activation at 3:15. I'm a PT, I might use this myself
Nice vid! 👍
Challenge: accepted!
Congratulations¡¡¡ Fantastic video ¡¡¡
Very helpfull thanks Sir
Just incredible info
So good!!
Super merci pour cette superbe vidéo.
The workout at 6:50 gave me great benefit. I used to only be able to do 6-7 reps of pull ups on my first set, but I already hit 10 reps on my first set after 3 weeks of applying that workout. Take in I only do pull ups once a week on back day not as frequently as they suggest.
Which workout??
isometry builds insane amount of muscles. Makes sense when we think about gymnasts who have to hold positions for at least 3 secs
Your videos are incredible
Of course i'm going to try this! Danke schön :)
Thank You So much Sir....From Nepal.
Thanks a lot!!
Dude I‘m in! In 8 weeks I hope to get 15 Pull ups done! Thx for motivation :)
You can do it!
Obviously the content of your videos is great, but the editing is incredible too. What program do you use for it?

Incredible video ...exclusive in youtube❤
Very Nice ,it helped a lot
Great challenge! I'll give it a try!
I've been overeating to add effort to my pull-ups. I'ma get super strong.
Nice! I'm working on my first pull up. I'm in!
8 Weeks later, here i am ! It was really challenging, and i did my best, even though my progress may not seem that impressive.
When i started this, i was barely able to do 5 pull ups, but honestly, i did not feel my scapula or lats working... Pull ups were putting pressure on my arms mostly and if i tried to ignore it, my shoulders were always there to remind me how bad my form of execution was. And it was really frustrating, because i was already triyng to do more pull ups several months before this video came out.
I'm now able to do 10 pull ups with a decent form, and within these pull ups i mean 7 with a good form, focused on the back, and 3 others a little bit less. I could do some more pull ups, but the quality would then drop too low to be safe/satisfying.
For workout A, i went then from 25 reps in 9min50s to 57 reps in 17min50s (and i consider this last workout like a failure, because i went too hard on the beginning, wasting my energy for the last repetitions...)
For workout B, i went from 3/4/4/4/4 reps with a medium assisted elastic band, to 5x5 reps without elastic assistance (i added negative front lever to this workout too, even if i'm faaaar from getting it)
For workout C, i went from a 37 pull up pyramid to a 53 climbing only pull up pyramid (i'm kinda disappointed because then again it was hard at my last workout to climb higher than 7 reps, after 6 series of at least 4 reps)
Today, i don't feel that much strong, but i know that i'm better than i was back then and i want to progress again and again !
I would like to be able to do pull ups with a good form while lesting my body, but that's a far away goal for now.. :)
What i think now about this challenge : It's GREAT, because it made me plan how much reps i got to do for several future workout. I had to establish a line to try to respect the most precisly i could, and i knew each time i went to workout, what i had to do (number of reps, what exercise...)
Before this i used to only write how much reps i did last workout, but now imma write how many reps i gotta do next workouts too !
Plus, the diversity of workout made it a little bit funnier to follow, like : Oh ! Today is Workout C day, i gotta be strong cause it's the hardest ! (for me at least ahah)
However, now i feel like i can train with more freedom, so i'll change my routine for now and i hope it will make me get stronger faster !
I will still train my back 3 times a week, but i'll now try to do classic workouts, because i think i can do enough pull ups to do it !
(Before this challenge, i would have only be able to do 4 series of 3 reps of pull ups, 2 times a week... impossible to make progress)
I'll then train classic pull ups and australian pull ups (50 minutes) 2 times a week, and train my negative pull ups and front lever (30 minutes) 1 time a week (also with 2 push ups/dips workout and 1 legs workout / week)
For motivating me these 8 past weeks, and inspiring the next weeks, i'd like to thank you a lot for this video, among plenty other good ones, Calisthenicmovement !
Keep up the good work ! :)
Too long
Didn't read
Very helpul! Thank you.
@@hotuan4254 😁
@@alwaultra ... i always laugh when i read comments like yours. i think, well, i know laziness, because i'm an expert at it, but to be overwhelmed by too many words to read. That's taking it to new level!
I read it all! Very inspiring. I like how it helped you focus and build on the quality of reps.
I did this for 4 weeks back in Sept 2020, then life happened. Helped me from 0 to 3 max. Your story makes me want to try again.
After 5 weeks of doing it with the assistance of rubber bands. Without being even remotely close to consistent.
I managed to do my first unassisted pullup!!! I never thought my arms could ever manage to pull my own overweight body!
Now I'm going to finish the 8 weeks to see how many I can do in a row.
Excellent content. I wish I saw this a year ago when it came out
Alex deserves an Oscar for his acting
