@MetoForLife God blessed him with the ability to gain muscle. God kept him fron getting injured. God protected him from getting shot. God protected him from many dangers. God helped him grow strong. The disrespectful thing is to see a believer in Christ and immediately slander them for no reason. Jesus healed me of glaucoma, and He loves you. There is an ultimate hope, and you can know you have salvation. God bless and much love ❤️✝️
@@GogglesOstrich This Guy has gotten injured multiple times, and probably hundreds of times more off camera, what happened with your so “Godly protection” now huh?
Meh it's more complicated than that. I can do 50 reps of 10kg squat, and only 100@100kg. If I was half I wouldn't be able to to as many 100kg squats but probably just as many 10kg
@@mattpenman2284 I'm not exactly sure what you mean. By "muscle fatigue", I mean that even though your heart and lungs aren't working hard, the muscles run out of energy and can't recover fast enough
Muscles run out of oxygen and your cardiovascular system struggles to supply enough to keep going. AFAIK better cardio means it takes longer for you to deplete all the oxygen.
It's neither oxygen nor fuel, after 20 reps your muscles still have shit tone of both. Plus, at this intensity it's mostly anaerobic (without oxygen) energy production through creatine and glycolisis. It's about muscles' ability to quickly clear out waste product of metabolism (mostly of said glycolisis).
Limiting factor here isn’t cardio, it’s muscular endurance. You’re not breathing heavy like you’re walking up 10 flights of stairs; your muscles are giving out.
Limiting factor is his muscles and nervous system not being adapted to pull ups. If he trained pull ups more, his nervous system would become more efficient at the movement and he could probably double his reps without gaining much muscle.
I know i get so tired of people bragging how many pullups they can do when there chin doesn't even go over the bar, matter fact they kip there chin to the bar sometimes and yank there body up like what the hell is even that.
@@cowboybabyyoda6725and all of that while never even getting close to lock out on bottom... I've seen one special person not even getting lower than 90 degrees in the ellbow and STILL DIDN'T GET THE CHIN ABOVE! Yet he bragged about 16 reps...
No it's his muscles giving out, his heart and lungs are not going to give out after that short amount of activity no matter how bad your cardio is (unless it's an all out sprint or something similar). Let's say hypothetically he had that strength and marathon runner cardio, is he going to just keep doing pull ups until he hits 50 or more, highly unlikely. He reached muscular/technical failure on the pull ups and his lats and other pulling muscles couldn't perform the movement anymore. Also this whole thing of once you go over 20 reps of an exercise it becomes muscular endurance/cardio training is complete bro science.
@@ashb4275idk man. I'm pretty sure his muscles could have produced enough force for one more rep on account of the concentric part of the movement not slowing down a ton. If you put a gun to his head I'm 80% sure he could grind out another rep.
@@sowososmootha lot of biology majors here How long do you think he can sprint without worrying about cardio? Compare that to the energy needed for a pullup Its not cardio
If you're heavy and can do 10 pull-ups you're strong in absolute strength terms because you're lifting more weight. Lighter people can have higher relative strength , but they rarely have high absolute strength.
My form and grip start to give around high teens. Any day I hit 20+ reps is a good day. 23 is my PR. Would Love to Make that 30 by my 30th birthday next June. Currently doing 150-200 every other day. Progress is more apparent with form rather than the reps.
My Max pull ups was 31 reps full range of motion all the way down and all the way up chin above the bar and my body is fully straight top to bottom.I did it 3 years ago now I don't know because I mostly focus on low to medium rep range
I probably maxed at 20 when I was climbing regularly. Likewise, there's the question of being able to do one-arm pullups. A lot of climbers regard them as parlor tricks, and I recall an interview with a 5.14 climber who said he couldn't do one.
James what's your height/weight? It's rare to find decent climbers nowadays who aren't built like skinny calisthenics athletes. No hate, it's just not the physique i'm going for. You and Tony Yaniro (who was a climber a while back, like maybe in the 80s or so) are the only couple of climbers I know who have a physique that looks strong/more like a bodybuilder. You also lift a bit as well as climbing. Point being, I love your physique and the fact you're decently strong at lifting, at least compared to most climbers
I feel like climbers should have the best endurance. If I lose my grip strength after 18 pull-ups and fall off the bar, no problem....on the side of a boulder or mountain halfway up a route muscular failure due to fatigue is not always an option
James I’m so intrigued by your physique…how did you build it? Climbing, pull ups and what else? Id like to achieve the same in near future, could you give me some Tipps please? Much love from Switzerland 🇨🇭
He's probably doing standard lifts (deadlift, squat, benchpress, overhead press, etc). Plus eating high protein. He may have even done a bulk/cut cycle. That's definitely a more aesthetic physique than the average rock climber, though he may just have awesome genetics have that aesthetic more naturally.
Climbers goals are to be efficient. Which means the involvement of legs and not how many repetition ur biceps and back can contract so they don’t do pull ups a lot. Calisthenics do pull ups for a living and so do gymnasts. So not surprising in theory
Not all gymnasts have good pull up numbers. Climbers certainly would do better than calisthenics athlete in a measurement of the limiting strength factor of climbing, which tends to be finger strength rather than pulling strength. There are no elite climbers that don’t have exceptional finger strength, especially for their body weight.
Why would a climber who do a few pullups as supplemental exercise be better than a callisthenics athlete who literally trains pullups and bar exercises all the time?
There’s actually plenty of chest involved with climbing, your arms are often stretched and you have to push IN to hold yourself, which is using your chest muscle. What climbers usually don’t have much of is triceps, which is mostly pushing upwards, not inwards like chest. That said climbers don’t usually get the bulky chest but more so the pretty defined, shredded chest. And I agree he probably does some lifting other than just climbing - diet is also a big factor.
I started climbing frequently 2 months ago, before I climbed I would do some basic workouts - bench, squat, DL, press, pull-ups. I stopped all of them when I started because it was too much for my system in the beginning. Recently went back and my lifts for everything has gone up tremendously. I was probably at 3 max pull-ups (full ROM) now I can do 10 easily. Rock climbing is my favorite way to workout cause it doesn't feel like a workout
Your heart and lungs can keep up with much higher energy demands than your arms and back can create in that space of time. No way is cardio a limiting factor.
Over 20 Pullups is cardio? Hilarious. Over 30 at LEAST is endurance rather than strength. For strength show us your one rep max with added plates on pull up. For endurance go past 30 reps on the pull up.
This one kid in elementary school did 14. That kid was the biggest geek and he got instant street cred when pretty much everyone else could only do one. I kinda want to indicate the kid was not white. But some people might find a way to make that offensive. So I won't say it.
