Jeff, can you make a PR series? Like: most reps at bodyweight exercises (just like pull ups) or max 1-3 rep max weighted exercises (bench press/squad). And show us how to prepare for a contest in the days befor we must go all out. Btw I would like to see your form when it gets hard. And have a challenge/goal to work to. So not just teaching us, but prove to us what you can do whit your PR's

58 years old, 175 lbs. 4 months ago I could do 4 push ups and no pull ups so I joined a gym. Last week I went to the pull up bar hoping to do at least one. I did three with my body flailing around under me. Today I could do 5. I will follow your instructions here and see what happens. Update to follow.
Saw the "like" and went to the gym and was able to do 9. I hurt myself on that last one. One of the issues of getting old I guess. Sometimes I wake up with new injuries, lol.
@@CalvinEdmonson so it worked? Just wondering cause I'm going to join the marines and I can only do 3 which is minimum and I want to do more than that just to be safe lol
I'm 68 yo. 4 yrs ago I weighed 285. Been walking and going to the gym 3 to 5 days a week. Been 220-225 for last 6 months. Still can't do a pullup. Going to try your technique. Wish me luck.
Its ok, take it easy, u dont have to hurry, just dont stop and u will achieve it (but this was written before two months, i think u already achieved it).
I used to do about 46 pull-ups if I recall. My favourite technique to build reps was lots of sets of 3-5 sometimes 10 reps with strict form at 10-30 sec intervals. I also did cumulative sets 1...2...3...4...5reps etc.
Rex Erection because it's likely genetics? perhaps he was a skinny, more lean guy. I don't notice his neck being disproportionate! you're the first I've seen actually, not undermining your opinion.
Rex Erection first of all, genetics DOES play a role in muscle growth.. Like I said though, I can't even notice his neck being disproportionate to his body. he's done videos with compound movements training his traps, shoulders, and neck actually... he may not have a "neck training" video by itself.
I am 64 years old and while staying in shape I wanted to take to next level; I have engaged a trainer who is in competition actually. Anyhow, I am viewing all Jeff's videos over and over because form at any age is necessary but at my age it is critical to avoid injury that takes longer to heal. Thank you for doing these...my boyfriend, 66yrs old and in shape also watches. Hope to meet you one day. Thank you again!!!!!
Hey Jeff, at 0:40 you asked what "if you set up a bar in Iraq?" The answer is most people there don't drink so it wouldn't be the best of business ideas. Cheers.
I just find these funny now. Want to be good at pullups? Do them. Every other day or every 3rf day. Get on the bar and do as many as you can for probably 8 or more sets. Rest 3 minutes between. Within a year (as long as your not over weight by a lot. And can manage 6 to 10 to begin with) you'll be doing sets of 20 or 30 easily. Wanna be good at something? Do them and. It just tor a set or 2. Calesthenics require high volume multiple times a week.
Im legitimately frustraited lol. Ive been doing pull ups for score with the usmc for 6 years. You come along and crush my perception on pullups in one video. Love the channel. Very educational.

Talking while doing some pullups, dude you make me feel like a 3 year old!
I could not do a pull up for the life of me, I was swinging on the bar like ape and doing everything one could do wrong, but I wanted to do them badly so i did all the things in this video and now I can do 8 pull ups in one set and that is quite an accomplishment for me, my goal is to get to get to 20
My advice would be to go with weighted pull ups, like : - Add 5 Kgs every time you can get 8 reps with good form - Remove the weight at the end of each set and do bodyweight pull ups to failure then rest 3 to 5 min - Do this 3x - Next thing you know on a day off you'll be able to do your 20s I've seen pretty crazy progress doing this for the past weeks (I'm actually at the Bodyweight Pull Up + Assisted Pull Up level, but it's the same process of dropping the weight to failure)
So I had the hardest time with muscle ups. I stumbled upon this video and learned, and used this technique jeff showed,and explained. I can do muscle ups with ease, and no problem now. My problem was def using too much momentum, which caused me to use more energy, causing poor form. Thank you man for your services to us. We appreciate you. Keep driving. Happy lifting y'all.
Thanks for showing me I am 63 years old and have been working out for 2 years but in the last 1 year I have been doing pull ups by myself I am 195 pounds I will try your way and see if I can do better.i am an American Indian from Temecula California USA.thank for the tip.
For years I've done 4 sets of 13 pull ups everyother day with a relaxed body but no body swinging, leaking all the energy. You are right. Tensed the body and you just rise up easily. Wow! Now my recently discovered front lever is the same experience. Oh yeah, I'm 67 years old. Thanks for the tips!
Brian L I can do 27 sometime 29. I'm 185 and 5'7". When I was 154 I could do 36 last 2 struggle with grips. I swear it's about the grip. But I do have short arms. Lol
fruity G You mean grip strength is important for pullups ? If i increased my grip strength thro grip training and heavy grippers will that help with pullups ?
Humam Slayer yo, Grip strength has helped me a lot with pull ups and would 100% say its very important to improve. I can hold a 1 arm hang for a good time and thats all due to grip strength(though i can't pull up at all in the 1 arm hang 😂) i can do at least 15 proper pull ups and my max ive done was 22 but im pretty sure i did half reps so i don't count it. Before i learned about grip strength i was maxing out anywhere from 8-12 so grip really is important 💪
Humam Slayer yes it's true, a stronger grip will help you with pull-ups. At the 5:00 mark, Jeff talks about energy leaks from lack of tightness. A loosened grip is also an energy leak. When training grip strength specifically for pull-ups, you're better off doing it hanging from the bar. It's not just a strong grip you want, but a strong grip you can hold longer. The more pull-ups you're doing, your grip will tend to loosen with each rep. So try this. Hang from the bar in the extended position but keep your body tight. Grip as hard as you can and hold on for as long as you can. Also try from the top position, chin over bar. Body tight and grip as hard as you can. Hold til you can't any longer. The goal is to increase the amount of time you can hold each session.
Thank you for the great tips. I've been working on pull-ups consistently for several years now and am eager to try these two tips. I like the emphasis on the core strength in the one-arm pulls. Pull-ups are a great exercise for many major muscle groups. My max is 27 (dead hang) and I'm aiming for 30+. I think that plugging the "energy leaks" will help a lot. I'll report back in a few weeks if I'm able to implement these tips and get any results.
there's a Chili Cook-Off in town in a few weeks, and a chin up demo, just because, tucked in there so last year at age 70 I managed 15, so these tips may help i've been training with using an extra 20 lbs, 10%+ bodyweight for 6-8 reps and then dropping it for a few more and a contracted isometric hold.
this year I did 20 using these :www.amazon.com/Hurricane-HUR-56A-Coated-Gloves/dp/B01CTD5NPM the grip enhancement is GREAT and comfortable enough for every day training seriously, you gotta get some
I appreciate this, thank. Still scrolling through different pushup vids to see if it matters whether my palms are facing out or toward each other regarding the grip. I imagine different muscle groups are impacted.
Seen a lot of videos from this guy lately. He obviously knows what he's doing. I remember going off to Marine Corps bootcamp at 18, and being incredibly weak. Goodness. When I left to go there I probably wasn't able to do a single pull-up. By the time I graduated bootcamp (almost 3 months later) I was easily knocking out 20 of them in a 1 set. I can't even imagine how many this guy can do. He can probably do over 20 with 1 hand (while telling jokes). That dude is a beast, and I just looked it up and can't believe he's actually about 7 months older than me. I retired from the Corps about 6.5 years ago. I'm not in shape now and actually was never really in as good of shape as I should've been in, but as my schedule is about to open up I'm planning to get into better shape. I won't be ever taking it to this guy's level (or anywhere near that), as it's just not that high on my list of priorities. But his UA-cam channel is pretty damn impressive. He must've been at this for quite a while. I wouldn't be surprised if he also never took any time off or had any serious medical setbacks, and ate right the entire time. Dedication...
You heard it guys. *The Force* is the key. Let it flow through rhe bar, zhrough you. Of course you can do 20 Pull Ups then. You simply levivate to the bar. :)
Thanks buddy am 55yrs old weighing 220lbs I always do maximum of 5 pull ups but since I applied your technique I have increased to 9 pull ups I will continue to practice that technique because I have increased my pull ups....Thanks very much
Honestly the energy leaks he referred to are so important. When you get to that point where you learn to tighten up everything, the efficiency is incredible in every exercise. Can’t wait to do the pull ups next week!
Hi Jeff, 6 months ago I was not able to do 2 pullups, now I can do 10 of 3 sets. I do chin ups alternate days, that is much easier I can do 15-12-10. It's all about doing it regularly. And keto diet plus intermittent fasting helped to lose 6 inches waist and 30 lbs. Thank you and God bless.
I was fortunate enough to figure these steps out on my own but so many other people think its impossible. I certainly did. Keeping everything tight is the key.
You're a life saver jeff! Your videos helped me do my workout more efficiently and in about 4-5 months with the right diet and workout I lost about 20 pounds. All thanks to you!
GoFit pull up bar from big5 is great. Patented. Bar is higher on door frame from ground. You can get assist by jumping/thrusting with legs instead of using bands.
I'm 31 (13 of those spent training), what I've noticed is that, in general, street workout and any body weight exercises tend to be the best to take you to your best version (I don't mean bigger, but stronger). Pull ups, Push ups, Running.. natural movements that increase your hability for living a natural life. Of course I'm not taking away the value of sports like bodybuilding or powerlifting, but caring extremely heavyweights and extremely heavyloaded suplements - or other stuff - costs some price. Awesome chanel, bro. Always trying to catch up with!
Any time I’ve gotten stuck at a pull-up, I always think about Jeff’s tips, esp about energy leaks and leg placement. My max is 15 right now, goal is at least 20.
Saaeedur Rahman, try the Armstrong pull-up program. It got me from something like 18 to 33 pull-ups. It's a 5 day a week program. It goes like this: day 1: 5 x maximum amount of pull-ups, with only 1:30 minute of rest in between. day 2: pyramid, 1 pull-up, 10 seconds rest, 2 pull-ups 20 seconds rest, 3 pull-ups 30 seconds rest, all the way untill you can't finish the set anymore. day 3: 9 sets with different grip: 3 sets of normal pull-ups, 3 sets of chin-ups, 3 sets of extra wide grip pull ups. 1 minute of rest between sets, and pick a number of reps that you can finish all 9 sets with. If you finish the 9 sets, add one rep the next week. day 4: work-sets. As many sets as you can at a fixed number of repetitions, I'd go for something like 6-8 to begin with. If you can complete 9 sets, increase the number of reps the next week. Only 1 minute of rest between sets. day 5: repeat the hardest work-out of the week, whichever one that was for you. Do this for 2 months and I promise that you'll see results very quickly! The nice thing is that the trainings are relatively short, 15-20 minutes max, but it's still very effective.
Luvitus well I’ve been training my body for boxing since 13 I started to do push ups I couldn’t do 8 then a week past and I could do 20 i think I have good genetics I only ate 3.5 grams of rice and fish mainly trout and samon but when I started to do pull ups I did 5 x3 times with 2 minutes rest but I did this 4-5 times a day then when I started to do 10+ I added 20 pounds and this was when I was 14 and I can’t get past that 20+ pull ups all I have to say is if you get your mind to it then put your grind to it and you will succeed and plus my father kept pushing me
Luvitus just start by push ups see how many you can do I can do 35-45 in one rep and once you figure out the max you can do just do those 4x times in a sitting and 2x in a day then once you start doing 20+ push ups start pull ups but do curl ups and see how many you can do and do the same process with the push ups then move over to pull ups and do the same process
Luvitus so basically here is what you do daily 7 days a week if you want what I have accomplished Push ups 50-doesn’t have to be in a rep Curls 30-same thing don’t have to do it in a rep Pull ups 30-same thing And eat high protein and vitamins I hope this helped and check back in 2-3 weeks I want to see if this worked for you :) and if you want you can repeat this process 2-3 times for that extra grainzzz
Im 36yrs old, 5'5" 160. i can do 30 in one rep. mayb more. never maxed out. But ive been doing pullups consistently(almost everyday) since 2013 when i bought an in home pullup bar.
Great vid. I use to do a lot of pull-ups but never 20 in a row (wish that I could !). While watching tv at night I’d do sets of pull-ups with push ups. Using a door pull-up bar. 10 sets - set consisted of 5 to 8 pull-ups with 10-15 push-ups per set
Realize after 6 months that I was getting bigger and stronger plus I had cut my chiropractor visits to 0. Because I wasn’t straining doing a lot of overhead presses. Came to the conclusion that pull-ups might be the ultimate exercise since it hits every muscle group from your hips up !!!! Only problem was sometimes getting tendon soreness in the elbow - so I’d just ease off it and concentrate on legs, abs and some back exercises To justify my workout I compared it to chimpanzees!!!! 😄. A mature male chimp is strong enough to rip an arm out of the shoulder socket on a pro football lineman!!! And humans share 98% of their DNA- do why are they so strong?? Thinking of their lifestyle- everything is a pushing - pulling movement for them. Seldom is anything lifted over head. They pull themselves up into trees, they pull small trees/ branches towards them to eat the leaves. They spend some time walking using their knuckles Made sense to me that pull-ups were so good as an exercise since it’s been a natural movement for our body types since before we were human.
Unfortunately he would fail the audition - the producers would ask him to say "I'm Batman" and he would always say "What's up guys Jeff Cavaliere. AthleanX dot com"
I find it very helpful to wrap a resistance band around a pull-up bar and use it as an aid. This allows more focus on back contraction for beginners and establish that muscle connection and preserves the motion of a pull-up. It might take the core out of the equation at this stage but solves the most common challenge. It also remains optional to ditch the resistance band on the last rep and hold for as long as you can.
KINGatLIFE - He does a lot throughout the video though, with great strict form, and with ease to boot (no visible strain or slowing down). Although people know that he can do pullups easily, I agree that he should have done 20 in a set just to avoid any misunderstandings or complaints about the title of this video.
I’ve been stuck at 3-4 pull ups for a month or so. I’ll try your progression and see how it helps! Part of my problem is that the doorway pull up bar I have doesn’t allow the body position you described. I need something better! Thanks Jeff!

"Energy Leak" LOVE that explanation! Makes total sense.
Energy leaks! Yesss that was it, I was able to do 2-5 more pull ups just by tightening my body
Unknown UA-cam User yeah same here. Couldn't even do 1 but tightened up and got 4 in one go
Yup, I saw an an instant +2 increase over normal. I imagine consistently doing them this way make my abs nice besides give a rep increase.
Hell, that might be my issue too then. If I just tighten up I can get my 20 then.
How can anyone dislike this guy's video?!?!?! Such education everytime he speaks.

So try this. Hang from the bar in the extended position but keep your body tight. Grip as hard as you can and hold on for as long as you can. Also try from the top position, chin over bar. Body tight and grip as hard as you can. Hold til you can't any longer. The goal is to increase the amount of time you can hold each session.
fruity G wow i converted those to kg and cm and that seems like u are relly fukking strong. answer me sincerely pls, are you natural?
Thank you for the great tips. I've been working on pull-ups consistently for several years now and am eager to try these two tips. I like the emphasis on the core strength in the one-arm pulls. Pull-ups are a great exercise for many major muscle groups. My max is 27 (dead hang) and I'm aiming for 30+. I think that plugging the "energy leaks" will help a lot. I'll report back in a few weeks if I'm able to implement these tips and get any results.
As a fellow physiotherapist I always get amazed with his knowledge and the strategies he uses to achieve a goal by breaking the movement.

Meh that's fine when you're working out
Very helpful tips 👍👍
I was doing 10 or 12 max
Now 2 weeks into this I got to do 20
Thanks !
Man!! Back in Marine Boot camp PFT I did 22. I was 19. I’m 37 now, 168lbs and I’m hellbent on getting back to boot camp strength. Thanks
now with this metod to do more pull-ups I AM A BEAST.My friends can do 10, 5, 4, 3,but i can do 18 pull-ups.Thank you Jeff!
Me: Ok, lets do 10 reps.
My back: We don't do that here.
It's so crazy how good the channel is
Full range of motion! My man! No excuses ppl.
"I have no problem doing 60+ pull ups in a set"
- CrossFitters everywhere
Larvitar Dratini shitty pull-ups though
100+ in under 2 minutes yeah !
Same with dips. So tough.
CrossFit = the ability to loose gains
"I don't care how many kipping pull-ups you can do."

Jonathan Blough lmao
there's a Chili Cook-Off in town in a few weeks,
and a chin up demo, just because, tucked in there
so
last year at age 70 I managed 15,
so these tips may help
i've been training with using an extra 20 lbs, 10%+ bodyweight for 6-8 reps and then dropping it for a few more and a contracted isometric hold.
this year I did 20 using these

the grip enhancement is GREAT and comfortable enough for every day training
seriously, you gotta get some
I appreciate this, thank.
Still scrolling through different pushup vids to see if it matters whether my palms are facing out or toward each other regarding the grip. I imagine different muscle groups are impacted.
Jeff is a type of trainer who do pull-ups while talking.
Surendra K V i was impressed how unfazed his speech was doing pull-ups.

Best fitness channel on UA-cam
Right now I do negatives as a progression when I can't do more pullups. Do you like that approach?
Ok, now i understand why prison time creates pullup monsters: they get a lot of experience with thighting up when dropping the soap.
Seen a lot of videos from this guy lately. He obviously knows what he's doing. I remember going off to Marine Corps bootcamp at 18, and being incredibly weak. Goodness. When I left to go there I probably wasn't able to do a single pull-up. By the time I graduated bootcamp (almost 3 months later) I was easily knocking out 20 of them in a 1 set. I can't even imagine how many this guy can do. He can probably do over 20 with 1 hand (while telling jokes). That dude is a beast, and I just looked it up and can't believe he's actually about 7 months older than me. I retired from the Corps about 6.5 years ago. I'm not in shape now and actually was never really in as good of shape as I should've been in, but as my schedule is about to open up I'm planning to get into better shape. I won't be ever taking it to this guy's level (or anywhere near that), as it's just not that high on my list of priorities. But his UA-cam channel is pretty damn impressive. He must've been at this for quite a while. I wouldn't be surprised if he also never took any time off or had any serious medical setbacks, and ate right the entire time. Dedication...
Legend says he’s still doing pull-ups
Jeff, could you do a video about scoliosis and lat imbalance please?
Peter Pan pray to Jesus.
What a beast! Keeps talking normally while doing the pullups.. Respect, Jeff.
Forget MJ and Bron, Jeff is the GOAT
Yeah...He has cloven hoofs !
Kobe is the GOAT
Ali
Y ali Ali bumbya that means Ali kill him
LeBum doesn't even belong in the same sentence as MJ or GOAT.
i from russia 33 year and this video first time i like it. Cool idea for more pull up, Big tnx and good luck in progress in your business man!
OMG I did this earlier and it helped out A LOT! Thanks Jeff!
You heard it guys. *The Force* is the key. Let it flow through rhe bar, zhrough you.
Of course you can do 20 Pull Ups then. You simply levivate to the bar. :)
Thanks buddy am 55yrs old weighing 220lbs I always do maximum of 5 pull ups but since I applied your technique I have increased to 9 pull ups I will continue to practice that technique because I have increased my pull ups....Thanks very much
99 people are lat pull down fans
Savio Corremans hahaha!!
99%
No Rudyard Kipping here, folks. I love how Jeff treats the pull-up like a lift rather than a spastic fit. Outstanding, brother.
Honestly the energy leaks he referred to are so important. When you get to that point where you learn to tighten up everything, the efficiency is incredible in every exercise. Can’t wait to do the pull ups next week!
Why he have to flex on us in the intro😂
3/4 Send Baby
Right! Came in talking WHILE doing pullups.
3/4 Send Baby you’re not hardcore fan then he always flexes on us so we can jack off to him real fans know this
J3. 17• haha your comment made me laugh! 😆
Caleb Jutzi NELK?!?!
Why not?
I just did pull-ups today ( AX1, week 2) wish I wouldve seen this first. Very helpful!
Jeff's been working on his calisthenis lately i see, good for him
Daniel Chachanashvili he's been integrated calisthenics most of his career. You must be new.
now i cant wait to get to a pull up bar to tense my ass up and see if a can do more then 10 reps, i've been stuck on 10max all my life.
That's a mental block. Tell yourself you're going to do twelve today.
Hi Jeff, 6 months ago I was not able to do 2 pullups, now I can do 10 of 3 sets. I do chin ups alternate days, that is much easier I can do 15-12-10. It's all about doing it regularly. And keto diet plus intermittent fasting helped to lose 6 inches waist and 30 lbs. Thank you and God bless.
0:40 ... travel to Iraq ...set a bar there ...congratulations you did it
idk whats wrong with iraq things .. they scared us ... those nerds i mean the one in this garbage video :)
Set up a bar in Irak😂😂
Plugged my energy leaks and now I do 3 sets of 100 no arm pull ups. Bless up Jeff 🙏🏿👌🏿😤😤😤😤💯💯💯💯
hahahaha this is what I came here for
I was fortunate enough to figure these steps out on my own but so many other people think its impossible. I certainly did. Keeping everything tight is the key.
This literally just became my fitness goal months ago i went from 10 to now doing 17 and am frustrated.
why u frustrated
One of my favorite things in these videos is seeing Jesse in the mirror filming😂😂😂
You're a life saver jeff! Your videos helped me do my workout more efficiently and in about 4-5 months with the right diet and workout I lost about 20 pounds. All thanks to you!
Can you make a video helping beginners to learn how to do a pull up
ua-cam.com/video/_XH6TV4HZuc/v-deo.html
Get a Resistance loop band with a strong enough resistance to help assist you with your pull-ups.
Sonic 5902 if you don't wanna get a chord, have a gym buddy hold your feet and assist you up until you're able to do it on your own
Negatives also work wonders.
Do Australian pull ups
I wish I could do more than ONE. So I will check out your advices.
Mind blown yet again. This guy is the Yoda of weight training.

Bro Seals can do 25 pull ups in 1 set

After seeing this surely aim for 20+
GoFit pull up bar from big5 is great. Patented. Bar is higher on door frame from ground. You can get assist by jumping/thrusting with legs instead of using bands.
Uncle Jeff, how do you get traps like Jiren?
Ultra instinct
I don't think he knows who jiren is ^^
Push ups , sit ups and plenty of juice #tfs
jonas clarebout actually that was on the original episode too. TFS just used it.
very interesting...I'll give it a try. I've been using the "I weight 40lbs more than I was in high school excuse"
I'm 31 (13 of those spent training), what I've noticed is that, in general, street workout and any body weight exercises tend to be the best to take you to your best version (I don't mean bigger, but stronger). Pull ups, Push ups, Running.. natural movements that increase your hability for living a natural life. Of course I'm not taking away the value of sports like bodybuilding or powerlifting, but caring extremely heavyweights and extremely heavyloaded suplements - or other stuff - costs some price. Awesome chanel, bro. Always trying to catch up with!
Any time I’ve gotten stuck at a pull-up, I always think about Jeff’s tips, esp about energy leaks and leg placement. My max is 15 right now, goal is at least 20.
vhat's up guys?!?! Jeff Cavaliere athleanx daat com
Saaeedur Rahman, try the Armstrong pull-up program. It got me from something like 18 to 33 pull-ups. It's a 5 day a week program. It goes like this:
day 1: 5 x maximum amount of pull-ups, with only 1:30 minute of rest in between.
day 2: pyramid, 1 pull-up, 10 seconds rest, 2 pull-ups 20 seconds rest, 3 pull-ups 30 seconds rest, all the way untill you can't finish the set anymore.
day 3: 9 sets with different grip: 3 sets of normal pull-ups, 3 sets of chin-ups, 3 sets of extra wide grip pull ups. 1 minute of rest between sets, and pick a number of reps that you can finish all 9 sets with. If you finish the 9 sets, add one rep the next week.
day 4: work-sets. As many sets as you can at a fixed number of repetitions, I'd go for something like 6-8 to begin with. If you can complete 9 sets, increase the number of reps the next week. Only 1 minute of rest between sets.
day 5: repeat the hardest work-out of the week, whichever one that was for you.
Do this for 2 months and I promise that you'll see results very quickly! The nice thing is that the trainings are relatively short, 15-20 minutes max, but it's still very effective.
gonna try this
I’m 15 and I couldn’t do 5 and now I can do around 15-20 and I weight 150 I’m so proud of myself for this my goal is to do 30 by next year
How were you able to do so many? I can only do one and I really want to do 12 in 1 rep pls help :(
Luvitus well I’ve been training my body for boxing since 13 I started to do push ups I couldn’t do 8 then a week past and I could do 20 i think I have good genetics I only ate 3.5 grams of rice and fish mainly trout and samon but when I started to do pull ups I did 5 x3 times with 2 minutes rest but I did this 4-5 times a day then when I started to do 10+ I added 20 pounds and this was when I was 14 and I can’t get past that 20+ pull ups all I have to say is if you get your mind to it then put your grind to it and you will succeed and plus my father kept pushing me
Luvitus just start by push ups see how many you can do I can do 35-45 in one rep and once you figure out the max you can do just do those 4x times in a sitting and 2x in a day then once you start doing 20+ push ups start pull ups but do curl ups and see how many you can do and do the same process with the push ups then move over to pull ups and do the same process
Luvitus so basically here is what you do daily 7 days a week if you want what I have accomplished
Push ups 50-doesn’t have to be in a rep
Curls 30-same thing don’t have to do it in a rep
Pull ups 30-same thing
And eat high protein and vitamins I hope this helped and check back in 2-3 weeks I want to see if this worked for you :) and if you want you can repeat this process 2-3 times for that extra grainzzz
Im 36yrs old, 5'5" 160. i can do 30 in one rep. mayb more. never maxed out. But ive been doing pullups consistently(almost everyday) since 2013 when i bought an in home pullup bar.
Great vid. I use to do a lot of pull-ups but never 20 in a row (wish that I could !).
While watching tv at night I’d do sets of pull-ups with push ups. Using a door pull-up bar. 10 sets - set consisted of 5 to 8 pull-ups with 10-15 push-ups per set
Realize after 6 months that I was getting bigger and stronger plus I had cut my chiropractor visits to 0. Because I wasn’t straining doing a lot of overhead presses.
Came to the conclusion that pull-ups might be the ultimate exercise since it hits every muscle group from your hips up !!!! Only problem was sometimes getting tendon soreness in the elbow - so I’d just ease off it and concentrate on legs, abs and some back exercises
To justify my workout I compared it to chimpanzees!!!! 😄. A mature male chimp is strong enough to rip an arm out of the shoulder socket on a pro football lineman!!! And humans share 98% of their DNA- do why are they so strong??
Thinking of their lifestyle- everything is a pushing - pulling movement for them. Seldom is anything lifted over head. They pull themselves up into trees, they pull small trees/ branches towards them to eat the leaves. They spend some time walking using their knuckles
Made sense to me that pull-ups were so good as an exercise since it’s been a natural movement for our body types since before we were human.
When you do pull ups, just imagine that your flying a crashing plane and the alarm tells you to pull up!
Instructions unclear im currently flying to Mars
In this 5 minute video Jeff did more pull-ups than I in my entire life XD
Thanks for posting so much great content for free. You're the man.
Could you audition to play batman pls
Unfortunately he would fail the audition - the producers would ask him to say "I'm Batman" and he would always say "What's up guys Jeff Cavaliere. AthleanX dot com"
Kaspar Estrada He would say "I am the gains".
*blows up wall to joker's secret lair* "WHAT'S UP GUYS IM BATMAN, BATLEAN-X.COM!!"
Kaspar Estrada haha
for the one arm pull-ups how many sets, and are they to failure?
I find it very helpful to wrap a resistance band around a pull-up bar and use it as an aid. This allows more focus on back contraction for beginners and establish that muscle connection and preserves the motion of a pull-up. It might take the core out of the equation at this stage but solves the most common challenge. It also remains optional to ditch the resistance band on the last rep and hold for as long as you can.
I can do more than 20, I want to know if this can help me CONTINUE to grow well beyond 20.
Weighted pull ups my dude
Video > How to do 20 pull ups
Jeff > does only 10
My sentiments as well, he doesnt even do anywhere near 20 pull-ups, why should we believe him?
KINGatLIFE - He does a lot throughout the video though, with great strict form, and with ease to boot (no visible strain or slowing down). Although people know that he can do pullups easily, I agree that he should have done 20 in a set just to avoid any misunderstandings or complaints about the title of this video.
@@anonlegion9096 Jeff doesn't like to show off
True, but if he had to prove to anybody he's legit, he'd also wear shorts to prove he doesn't skip leg day. He carries the extra weight easily.
@@anonlegion9096 wtf man
I’ve been stuck at 3-4 pull ups for a month or so. I’ll try your progression and see how it helps! Part of my problem is that the doorway pull up bar I have doesn’t allow the body position you described. I need something better! Thanks Jeff!
