Hi Geek Climber, I remember that after you did some hang board training protocol you actually felt stronger on the climbing wall. Was it the same after this period of weighted pull ups training?? Among the above two type of training protocols, which one was more effective (for you of course) in terms of climbing gain? And lastly, I would like to ask the same above questions, but replacing "weighted pull ups" with "one arm." Always nice videos :) Cheers!

@alexantone5532 2 года назад

I would assume the finger strength training protocol. I’d love to see him do a max hangs protocol for a video

@neighborlysine9188 2 года назад

not geek climber but i have roughly similar stats (current pullup pr is like 80% of bw and i climb at around v6-v7) and i went from about 40% ot 70% in two months, i'd say i felt some better strength and control on the wall but much less than when I did any form of finger training. I think this might be due to pullups not being as climbing specific as your raw finger strength, and maybe pulling programs could benefit from campusing or training explosive pulling strength.

@jbol2454 10 месяцев назад

Your form is so much better than most people doing weighted pull ups.. You are actually levering your legs and hip forward, that's how it should be done (and even more if you can), that and trying to get the bar to your chest as you come up..

@jasonchen4312 2 года назад

Amazing feat mate. Just curious, why don't you tuck the plates between your legs -- especially when doing multiple reps -- to keep them steady and not hanging free and swaying thus requiring more effort to keep steady? I do weighted pull-ups/dips and find that keeping the plates between my legs is much better for form and efficiency of movement. Did you find that having them in front of you was the most comfortable and stuck with that? Anyways, great work!

@clarkreimer9448 2 года назад

Congrats on the baby! If you do pullups for endurance, I definitely think your goal should be 50. 25 would only take you a week or two to complete.

@bastien8418 2 года назад

dumbest fucking thing i've ever read here, he isn't even at 20 how do you want him to gain 50% more in reps in 1-2weeks, it'll probably take him a month if not more. And 50 reps ? That's beyond elite level of endurance, I highly doubt he'll ever come even close to 30 and I don't think you realise how hard 50 PU is.

@thenew4559 2 года назад

It takes way longer than a week or two to work your way up to being able to do 25 pull ups. 25 reps is a pretty impressive feat.

@clarkreimer9448 2 года назад

For someone just starting sure, but this guy has a lot of strength and a history of endurance from climbing. Based on how slow he did the 15 reps awhile back, he could already do 20+ if he went faster and the push for 25 wouldn't take long.

Have you considered doing weighted + high reps? I'm currently doing that and it seems to transfer to high intensity fairly well. I usually do +50lb for 12-13 reps (1 set) I recently tried doing my 1RM (since I was curious) and I got 1RM with +110lb (80-84% BW) without prior practice. And I can still do about body weight pull-ups in the 20-25 rep range.

Doesn’t matter if your chin is above the bar or not. That’s metric is unfair to someone who has a short neck and long arms. I think, that if the angle between your bicep and your torso is less than 30° then it is a successful pull up

@lordempalator 2 года назад

There...is a butter knife-solution to gain strenght. Series of reps with slow excentric phases averaging between 45 and 60 seconds, with enought weight to fail the last one. Physical therapists will tell you to just do 12 or 13 reps per series per exercice, but the important thing here is the time of contraction and the stress, nothing else. It could be a single rep of 20 secs concentrical and 40 excentrical, but you have to literally be hercules to do that.

@ImKezo-kq4pq Год назад

I really want to max out on my strength so what I do is I stick to my PR for days or even weeks till I can do at least 5 reps with let's 100 pounds and then I try 110 or 120 and if I can do at least one rep with 120 pounds then I stick to it till I can do 5 with it

@UnbearabIe 2 года назад

I'm pretty sure most people can't follow his progression scheme because they aren't his bodyweight. For example I can do two pull ups with a added 90 pounds. However I'm also 180 pounds most days so clearly my progressions would be different. Also I probably wouldn't train with only 2 rep sets. Probably aim for the 4 to 6 rep range on weight pull ups.

@zacharylaschober 2 года назад

If the goal is 25 reps, then do sets for reps and do partial reps. If you plateau for a while, add a small amount of weight and increase the rep range there, then drop the weight to see. However, at this rep range you’re likely to add a lot of mechanical stress due to volume while losing higher levels of strength. Would more strongly suggest adding weight to stay at about 12-14.

Specificity. No a workout in which you do bw pull ups. If you do 3x4, you are not going get stronger in the longer rep ranges. Do 3x15 bw and do the 3x4 in the second workout

Will my weighted pullups have been affected by the front lever holds? (Submaximal holds around 8rpe+) Should I do like heavy weighted pullups on heavy workout day. and "heavy" front lever on : "Light days" or doesn't it matter? In conclusion, should ypu focus on one first weighted pullups or Frontlevrr. Or can you do front lever attempts before pullups Withouth loosing anything?

@hUgO6191 2 года назад

I'd say that it's a joint problem so... That's something you don't wanna mess with. Control the negative so it is the muscles acting as breaks and not the joints, and reduce the weight to a point where you don't feel it. Muscles adapt quickly. Joints take longer to adapt. One rule of thumb that I have when dealing with discomfort or pain is: "is this muscle or joint?" if it's muscle then usually no big deal. But if it's joint I'll either switch to an easier variation or if it still hurts finish the exercise or workout right away. Pushing through pain in joints will only result in problems long-term.

@DHClapp 2 года назад

Here's my two cents on why people's results might have been different using your original formula: When you do sets at 85% of 1RM (one-rep max), that needs to be 85% of the total weight you're lifting. When you're doing bodyweight + additional weight exercises, that means it takes two steps to figure out how much additional weight you should actually use. First, you calculate the total weight of your working sets, and then you can figure out the additional weight you need. Example: You weigh ~140lbs and your 1RM is with 75lbs of additional weight Step 1: Your 1RM is 140 + 75 = 215lbs, so your 85% sets should be at 215 x 0.85 = ~183lbs Step 2: To do sets at ~183lbs, you need 183 - 140 = ~43lbs of additional weight, so you'd use 42.5lbs or 45lbs, depending on plates available I suspect a lot of your viewers instead found their 1RM, and then multiplied the additional weight (i.e., the plates) by 85%. In the above example, that would have meant 75lb x 0.85 = ~65lbs, which would have been way to much to attempt for 4 sets of 3 reps, as this actually represents ~95% of 1RM (140 + 65 = 205lb).
