Real talk here only, Sam 👊🏿

I have my spies everywhere 😅 Also HUGE congratulations 🎉🎉

Appreciate it! 👊🏿

Thanks 👊🏿

@@CaliToTheCrowd I'm working on my own weighted pullups

Let me know how it goes! 💪🏿

Sorry, yes that was unclear. So for example. if you can currently perform a 20KG 1RM pull Up, I would recommend starting with a 22KG Weighted pull up negative because you are stronger on the eccentric. Then as you get stronger, working with more weight. Let me know how it goes - hope you smash through your plateau!

I was stuck at +20kg for literally 9 months, tried everything negatives, static holds even hit arms / forearms but made no difference. What helped me break through the plateau was doing less i.e training 2x a week weighted pulls/ eating more protein daily and following Dominik Sky’s step loading method. (It’s known as the russian step loading method.) Can pull +40kg now I used my strongest grip (neutral) every Mon / Fri and on Wednesday I did pronated for volume but ensured I was not going to failure and bodyweight only. Hope this info helps keep pushing.

Cheers Malcolm 👊🏿

35KG pull up is a SOLID pull up, and doing it for 3x5 is decent volume! you'll be at 50%bw in no time - keep pushing 💪🏿

@@CaliToTheCrowd looking forward to that vlog. And thanks for the reply 💪🏻

No worries 😁

No, the other way around. So in an example training session, I'd do 4-5 sets of weighted pulls (about 3 reps) Then 3-4 sets of weighted negatives with a heavier weight 👊🏿

It can be soo annoying but also encouraging to help ensure we keep good strength to weight discipline 💪🏿

REALLY GOOD QUESTION! Tbh I used to have the same problem before I started periodising my training and adding 2 rest days a week rather than 1. For example I will do 6-8 weeks of hypertrophy (8-12 rep range, lower weights etc.) Then take a whole week off. 0 workouts. Nothing (I still hate these weeks). Then I'll do 8-10 weeks of heavy work (3-5 rep range. Big breaks). Weds and Sundays are my rest days, and ever since doing this, my progress has been way more predictable 💪🏿 I go through it all in detail here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m4pyyJra1Ik.html Hope this helps!

@@CaliToTheCrowd Wow thanks man! This seems to require a lot of patience, I will try though, if my current way of doing one light and one heavy day a week fails.

I've just started exercising again after taking a week off and prioritising my sleep. I felt on fire today - so much more strength and energy!

Welcome to the Cali Crowd 👊🏿

I would agree that pull-ups are way more sensitive to body weight changes than dips. Which is strange because the entire body is suspended in the same direction in both moves. Maybe it’s because a pullup takes a bit more strength to do than a dip.

It will and lowering our body fat will make it easier to perform weighted pull ups. That being said, it is important not to aggressively lower body fat too quickly as that will impact our ability to keep the muscle that underpins the whole movement

Personally I'd suggest having a minimum of 8 HIGH quality pull ups before adding weight 💪🏿

@@CaliToTheCrowd Cool, thanks for replying. Love your channel.

I'm not actually sure. I'd guess about 8 - definitely would struggle to do 10 with a grip wider than shoulders width 💪🏿

Is that true if you can do 30 pull ups in a row you can do BW weight + BW in the pull up?

@@reecethomson6947 according to the formula Weight lifted(1+n/30), yeah.

And full range of motion*. If you control your movement and warm up there is no risk of injury.

Thanks my guy! 👊🏿

Chest to bar lat pulldowns with a pause at the chest really help with this... Same with chest to bar pike pull-ups.

Pull ups are far harder than people give credit for, so don't be disheartened, Bruce! 💪🏿 Besides, I've seen the work you've put in and I wouldn't be surprised if you could nail pull ups one day in the future 👊🏿🔥

@@CaliToTheCrowd thanks, andrew. i had built up to about 8-9 chin over the bar pullups that are nowhere near as hard as chest to bar, but i haven't been working on those lately either. good to you on the weighted reps!

Haha! What you need to do, is tie the firefighter gear to a dip belt 😅

Thanks! 💪🏿

Weighted calisthenics it is. I can do +33 kg weighted dips after 2 years

35 is still a spring chicken! Keep going, Nick 💪🏿
