I have suggested this page to many people that I Know because this is the best channel about calisthenics so far i have encountered. Bought both mobility and Level 1-5 programs and training every day.. I will be in Level 5 kn another year I can see great progress just after finishing one level. Thumbs up for you guys way to go 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How long did it take until you where noticing good strength increase I got same level 1-5 did level 3 for 4 months nothing changed had time off started level 2 been doing for 9 weeks and not to much change still. I want to do pull ups easy yet still stuck at 11 max and always have to pause after 6 reps and dead hang for couple seconds. Any tips from your experience and how many did you start at and can do now thanks for any advice.
I agree this is a great channel, so let me just get that out there first. However, I don't think they listed the cons because they want to be honest. It's not technically *their technique* lol. They are giving a suggestion that this method works, and "here are the pros and cons of this method" kind of thing.
It's a testament to the confidence in their method. They let the success of the method speak for itself, so they can afford to be honest; this inculudes telling the downsides.
Every since i got a pull up bar at home, i started doing chin ups every 2 hours or so, at first i could barely do 2 but after idk how many weeks i could do 15 in a row. I didn't even do the method intentionally and it worked lol
Suharik777 J I stared doing both pull-ups and push ups, but after the first week I began doing only pull-ups. Because muscles weren’t recovering quick enough
I used to be pretty fit, now I got a bit sloppy. Ill do apply this method for the next month. Started today, will update every week Week 0: 5 max pullups Week 1: 7 max pullups Week 2: 9 pullups Week 3: No significant progress I injured my back a bit for over-training. I took a break. Its important to warm up a bit and try not to mess up technic Week 4: started again from where Ieft off, but less rest in between sets, and doing every other day. I just did 11 pullups. I will stop doing this method and switch to a more conventional way of training. Maybe in the near future I will use this method again if I hit a plateau. Great method to increase pullups I recommend it a lot New edit (4 months later): I just did 21 pullups. If I did it anyone can.
I will try this and keep you guys updated. Starting max is 8 pull ups. Edit 1: after the first week, new max is 11 pull ups Edit 2: after 2 weeks, new max is 13 pull ups edit 3: i stopped after 2 weeks but it's rly worth a try! edit 4: I now (8 months later) will do this again, starting max is 9 pull ups edit 5: after 3 weeks since i started again i now can do 15 pull ups, i also did this with bench press and my max went from 110kg to 120kg this method is awesome and would recommand everyone to give it a try :)
Awesome channel man. I'm a straight weight guy but I do find your videos useful and have recommended your channel to many of my friends. You have a subscriber.
I've done this method for 2 1/2 weeks now and I went from struggling to get even one clean Wide grip komm up to 5 clean reps. I started doing gtg with a very light resistance band 6 times a day and 6 days a week and went from 4 to 7 reps in the first week. Then i switched to unassisted pullups (same volume as before) and went from 3 to 5 unassisted reps in the next 1 1/2 weeks. I would highly recommend this method BUT make sure to properly warm up every time especially your shoulders (I didnt do that in the beginning and got shoulder pain after two days). That being said I would highly suggest doing this method in your vacation (summer holidays if you are a student) and wish you all fast progress 💪
It will work if i use resistance band too?,i only can do 6 max reps with resistence band pull up but cant do even 1 regular pull up ,when i be able to do 1 regular pull up sir?
channel located in Germany... i somehow expected that xD .. when you hear english spoken so clearly that you can understand every word its mostly not a native english speaker :D
I've been asked what country I'm from, on the grounds that my English was "too good". I'm in the US, born in the US, asked the question by other born-US people.
Excellent advise. I have been out of work due to a very serious foot injury and this has been extremely helpful. Having a pull up bar in your home makes it very, very accessible and practical. They are small loads throughout the day that REALLY make a difference towards the end of the week.
Interesting, this is what i used to do when climbing a lot (~5years ago) : do 10-15 pull-ups every hours between video games/ studying/ect... At that time i was able to do 30+ pull up in a row, so i guess i was doing this method without knowning it lmao. But good to remind me this ! Awesome job as usual, i will do this again and try to reach my old 30+ record (currently at 15-20... rusted)
Aha yes i remember ! And i wasn't warming up at all... but i have never had any injury at that time, trust me now i'll take at least 5min to warm up my shoulders, don't want to take useless risk even if it worked well before without warming up !
Dude honestly this works wonders for anyone working from home during quarantine, just put a pullup bar in the room you're working in and take a break once an hour
This method is great especially when you have access to a pullup bar at home and plenty of free time! I used to increase my reps by doing so. I guess I am gonna follow your instructions to better myself at pulling up! Thanks
Nice video guys and interesting method. My tips for increasing pull ups would be: 1. short rest period between sets 2. do weighted pull ups even if you add just couple of kg 3. do dropsets.
Those are tips from my experience. Of course, there are always many different methods to achieve something. The best way is to try different things to see what work and what not.
I used to be able to do 8 max. When I tested my max after watching this video I did 6. I tested the method for a week and retested my max now I’m at 7. I’m going to keep going. Now I’m at 9 max :)
I have tried "Greasing the groove" for a month and a half, before starting I was able to do 10 pull ups. I started it by doing 5 times per week 7 times per day 5 pull ups every hour or an hour and a half, after 2 weeks I did 6 pull ups per set and after that I increased it on 7 pull ups per set. I rested 3 days before trying my max and I did 14 pull ups (strict form). So I increased my pull ups for 40%, which is not bad at all, So based on my experience I can say that this method works, but there's no chance to DOUBLE your pull ups.
Since i am also thinking to Grease the Groove for my pullups (my max now is also 10 reps), i want to ask you.Besides increasing your 1RM,did you also increase your pullups per set? We all know,that we can't perform our max reps for 4 sets in our training.We always do 70-80% of our max reps in each set.So,did you also increase that?And how much? And last,how had you structure your workouts for these 6 weeks?I mean,did you also train pulling (rows or other pullups variations ,as well)? The same days,as your GTG?Did you keep push days and leg days as they were,or did you lower the intensity? Or,you didn't train anything else for these 6 weeks,as Sven implied here? Thank you for any possible answer you could give me!
In my opinion the title is just to attract more people and we can't blame them for that. But it is not totally bullshit. Of course you can't go from 10 pull ups to 20 pull ups in just a month and half. It'd be too beautiful. However going from 3 to 6 pull ups is totally possible in a month. So i think that the reality is that this method will increases your max reps and that it's how we should see the message of this video.
The thing is that I can get the same results by doing two sets to failure every 3 days. I think this method helps a lot if you are a beginner, but I do not know if it's the best practice if you are an intermediate or above.
I don't feel like completely abandoning chest, triceps and legs for 3 weeks. So what about this mix: My max is 10 pullups, 20 pushups, 25 squats. So I do 5 pullups, 10 pushups, and 15 squats. I take 1-2 hours rest and do 5 sets in total per day.
As I get older this method seems to give me better results. When I do less frequent more intense workouts it just seems to take forever for me to recover. I've started doing one set of about 80% max push-ups, pull ups, squats every morning, then another site gle set of Pike push-ups, lunges, and chinups at night....along with some abs with each. I just don't feel beat up all the time, and I can monitor incremental gains or losses in strength everyday.
I started this method today. Will post and update after the end of each week. I want to increase my pull ups so I can try muscle up. Max. Pull ups = 10 1st week = Max. Reps 13 2nd week = I have finally unlocked Muscle up... 3 reps in a row (band assisted but still MUSCLE UP)!
I'll soon be running a greasing the groove protocol for 8 weeks. GOAL: to get to +15 perfectly exercuted pull ups. DANKE for the tips, guys :) Keep it up
I'm on Level 2 of their 1-5 and I must say, it looks deceivingly easy. Not the case. Been weight lifting for years and never had I had such intense training sessions before their program. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to improve in calisthenics.
I tried a similar method for close grip pullups. I could only do one consistently and sometimes 2 before my arms hurt. I installed a pullup bar at work and over an eight hour day I did one pullup every 45 minutes or so. The next day I was curious so I went back to work to see if there was any change. I was able to do 5 close grip pullups before I even felt my arms start to complain. That was the first time I was able to do more than two in a row.
@@shivamtripathy6711 It's just the same game as with the pull ups, you do 9 sets of slightly different pushup variations with 90 mins rest between each. And this routine you repeat for 5-6 days in a week.
Without going to full failure, not that much damage done to the muscle fibers. Just enough is done to stimulate growth. There is a big difference in recovery time, when we train to failure VS when we don't. This is how gymnasts and bodyweight training experts train with such high volume.
QUESTION!! Can I use this with two exercises at the same time? For example, first 10 push ups and then 10 pull ups, 5 sets during the same day and through the whole workout plan. If so, how many exercises I could simultaneously use this method with?
wow is that the park in vilamoura?? I live there and im going to start getting into calisthenics, its kinda awesome seeing you do these exercises on equipment i can 100 percent use!! Makes me want to get started even more now
First vid I’ve seen to suggest suspending your regular exercise program while doing GTG. I agree. After a few days of GTG I’m just too knackered to do my regular workouts to failure. Tried it and was very weak in any exercise adjacent to the GTG exercises (eg. Overhead press was weak when doing GTG push-ups). So basically you suspend your normal program for a month while doing GTG - then resume the normal program, but hopefully with better strength in the GTG exercises - hopefully breaking thru plateaus and creating more hypertrophy.
I can only advise you to follow their recommendations on warming up before each set. I chose to ignore them and am typing this with one hand after needing an operation on my right shoulder due to tendon tear and bursitis.
I am doing this challenge for like 10 days I was doing 4 shitty pull ups and after 10 days I m doing shitty 6 pull ups but perfect 5 not so much progress but I will keep u updated
Sick video. Never heard of this method before but will definitely give it a try as it sounds awesome. This is one of the few channels where the click-bait looking titles are actually true lmao
@@spunzel851 Increased reps by about 70% in two weeks. I didn't count the reps when I started but I can tell that they went up considerably. I could also do more reps in the second and third sets as one would expect. Bear in mind I started with a low rep count (around 10). From what I gather the more you can do the less improvements you see. I did it with push-ups, now switching to archer squats. Cheers!
Great video! This is from Pavel Tsatsouline about the grease the groove method very effective but not for all people as you told in the video it has an higher risk of injury.
What are your thoughts on applying this principle to several exercises, to have many mini-workouts throughout the day? So in one day you take 5 min every hour to do a few reps of pull-ups, push ups etc. for 5-7 hours. I spend most my day at the computer, so it is nice to take 5 min to stretch the legs, but also getting a workout would be amazing.
Oh crap. I just realized I’m doing this by accident. I have a pull up bar outside my room which I start to do pull-ups when I see it. I do only a little bit when I see it, but it seems that I’m matching all these guidelines. That does explain why my pull-ups have gotten good pretty quickly.
I added grease the groove into my routine of push pull and legs and doing weight ed pull-ups every day however i do feel that is a bit too much. I guess i could easify a bit the pull sets since i m also doing the grease. The number of pull-ups definitely increased
Can we combine this method with other programs,for example you tell we need to don't don't get exhausted,but if i have back and biceps day in the program and workout make me exhausted did this method works ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️i love you so much
"This kind of training is hard to implement in a normal workday" - and now is 2021 and most people are working from home. I bought a nice full-height pull-up bar and may do it all day long. Like it. But visually hardly can spot any changes on my body. Also, Alex didn't mention, would it be a good idea to add extra weights during this 3-4 weeks gtg training keeping the same amount of reps.
Love your videos! I have a question - at 3:36 you say "you can't train like you would do it normally because your central nervous system gets exhausted too much." I was wondering if you could elaborate on what the CNS's threshold is, and how you know you've hit it. It could also be a great idea to make a video about the relationship between CNS and exercise - I don't see many good videos on this on YT. Thanks!

You work allowed you to do that?
Brilliant stuff as usual.
Fri 19 Feb 2021: 3 max (could probably do 2 bad ones more) this means I will do 2 each time
I will keep you updated
I'll try this and come back here in 3 weeks
Great video but I'll just stick to your programs for now. Amazing results too. I'm near the end of level 1 and will start level 2 next month.
Please make a video on double your push ups reps
@@shivamtripathy6711 It's just the same game as with the pull ups, you do 9 sets of slightly different pushup variations with 90 mins rest between each. And this routine you repeat for 5-6 days in a week.
@@shivamtripathy6711 I'm sure it would follow a similar formula. 30%-50% of your max with 30-90 mins between sets for a few weeks
Insane vid bro keep it up loved it
Me: I quit.
Boss: Why is that?
Me: I have 9 more sets to finish okay?!
How does this work? I mean, when do the muscles recover?
Without going to full failure, not that much damage done to the muscle fibers. Just enough is done to stimulate growth. There is a big difference in recovery time, when we train to failure VS when we don't. This is how gymnasts and bodyweight training experts train with such high volume.
If your only doing 10 reps a hour it's really nothing to recover
@@lui4789 So, can I combine this with my training plan?
Gonna give this a go when I join the work gym . I’m lucky as I have 24 hr access
QUESTION!! Can I use this with two exercises at the same time? For example, first 10 push ups and then 10 pull ups, 5 sets during the same day and through the whole workout plan. If so, how many exercises I could simultaneously use this method with?
Yes this will also work with 2 exercises.
Thanks i really doubled my pull up reps, i used to do 1, now i can pull up twice
I hate when the video and 😭
Love you both of you guys ! Hope you guys gonna release another video soon! 😥 🙋
Thanks for explaing this in depth!
what a nice gym park!!!awesome
Excellent content
Genau das mache ich gerade und merke schon das ich jetzt kurz davor bin den straddle front lever zu schaffen
*Just practice*
Everything else will get into place
This is a nice twist on Rich Piana's 8 hour arm workout 👍😄
wow is that the park in vilamoura?? I live there and im going to start getting into calisthenics, its kinda awesome seeing you do these exercises on equipment i can 100 percent use!! Makes me want to get started even more now
First vid I’ve seen to suggest suspending your regular exercise program while doing GTG. I agree. After a few days of GTG I’m just too knackered to do my regular workouts to failure. Tried it and was very weak in any exercise adjacent to the GTG exercises (eg. Overhead press was weak when doing GTG push-ups). So basically you suspend your normal program for a month while doing GTG - then resume the normal program, but hopefully with better strength in the GTG exercises - hopefully breaking thru plateaus and creating more hypertrophy.
Best Channel
I can only advise you to follow their recommendations on warming up before each set. I chose to ignore them and am typing this with one hand after needing an operation on my right shoulder due to tendon tear and bursitis.
Just unbelievable what you said.
A good template for greasing the groove with pull ups is Pavel Tsatsouline's fighter pull up program.
Wow this is just what I needed right now. Ive been stuck on 5x8 for weeks now!
I am doing this challenge for like 10 days I was doing 4 shitty pull ups and after 10 days I m doing shitty 6 pull ups but perfect 5 not so much progress but I will keep u updated
this place looks so good to train
Sick video. Never heard of this method before but will definitely give it a try as it sounds awesome.
This is one of the few channels where the click-bait looking titles are actually true lmao
So? Tell us the results after 4 weeks
@@spunzel851 Increased reps by about 70% in two weeks. I didn't count the reps when I started but I can tell that they went up considerably. I could also do more reps in the second and third sets as one would expect. Bear in mind I started with a low rep count (around 10). From what I gather the more you can do the less improvements you see.
I did it with push-ups, now switching to archer squats. Cheers!
@@rand0mprecisi0n83 Amazing ! Yeah i also noticed that the more you can do the less improvement you see.
Great video! This is from Pavel Tsatsouline about the grease the groove method very effective but not for all people as you told in the video it has an higher risk of injury.
As always Awesome 🤘🙏
This channel is awsome
I will try this as well and keep you updated. 26-10-2020: Starting max pull ups 15
Hey. How are the results ?
Pretty good video! Well explained! Great work guys! Enjoyed watching a portuguese park in your videos! 🙏👊
Thank you very much for the video. I started this yesterday, let’s see! :)
What are your thoughts on applying this principle to several exercises, to have many mini-workouts throughout the day? So in one day you take 5 min every hour to do a few reps of pull-ups, push ups etc. for 5-7 hours. I spend most my day at the computer, so it is nice to take 5 min to stretch the legs, but also getting a workout would be amazing.
The 90 minute rest would work well if I had a pull up bar next to my office desk
Thank you sir !🤠👍
Going to give it a try... Right now 21pull ups, I'll tell you in 4 weeks! Thanks :D
I have been stuck on 20 pull ups for months, im gonna give this a go
There's always that random flex
This is what I was searching for😀😀😀😀
My progression:
Week1: 1 pull up
Week2: 2 pull ups
Week3: 3 pull ups
Week4: 5 pull ups
this is a great idea. im definitely gonna try it
Great channel. I love it!
Wieder ein tolles Video Jungs! Immer wieder motivierend am Ball zu bleiben ;)
This video worked! I could do 0 before and now I can do 2x0!
Oh crap. I just realized I’m doing this by accident. I have a pull up bar outside my room which I start to do pull-ups when I see it. I do only a little bit when I see it, but it seems that I’m matching all these guidelines. That does explain why my pull-ups have gotten good pretty quickly.
I added grease the groove into my routine of push pull and legs and doing weight ed pull-ups every day however i do feel that is a bit too much. I guess i could easify a bit the pull sets since i m also doing the grease. The number of pull-ups definitely increased
Can we combine this method with other programs,for example you tell we need to don't don't get exhausted,but if i have back and biceps day in the program and workout make me exhausted did this method works ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️i love you so much
"This kind of training is hard to implement in a normal workday" - and now is 2021 and most people are working from home. I bought a nice full-height pull-up bar and may do it all day long. Like it. But visually hardly can spot any changes on my body. Also, Alex didn't mention, would it be a good idea to add extra weights during this 3-4 weeks gtg training keeping the same amount of reps.
Easier for pushups
Will start this next monday!
Love your videos! I have a question - at 3:36 you say "you can't train like you would do it normally because your central nervous system gets exhausted too much." I was wondering if you could elaborate on what the CNS's threshold is, and how you know you've hit it.
It could also be a great idea to make a video about the relationship between CNS and exercise - I don't see many good videos on this on YT. Thanks!
