Got my 20 reps today. Took me about 2 months of training for it.

@BodyweightMuscle 8 месяцев назад

Awesome man, congrats! Did you use my training method? How old are you?

@rae6555 8 месяцев назад

I‘m 16 and I did 6 sets to failure every 3 days at the start of my pull day. I focused on getting 2-3 more pull ups in total every time i worked out. But I could already do 12 pull ups before I started training for reps. Though I think I could have gotten my 20 pull ups earlier if I did more easy sets instead of always training to failure.

@jmove7647 9 месяцев назад

I’ve been stuck around 10 pull ups for a while and it was pretty discouraging. Thanks for this video, I injured my wrist recently but once I’m back I’ll definitely give this a try!🙏🏾

@onceitisover 9 месяцев назад

I'm at 13. I try to do 3 sets of 10 now, with max like 3 min break in between (only first set can be done 10 in a row, after that I have to take like 1-5 seconds breaks to get to 10). It's a random, not sure if it will help, who knows haha, need to get at least 15 first until i can do 20, but at this point I'm not even trying my max anymore, but just doing sets

I liked so many things about this post, especially where you mention respect the process- some days will be great, some days not so great in the overall training, but keep up with patience and persistence! Thank you for giving great guidance on sequencing as well, much appreciated! 👍👍👍👍👍

You are an inspiration. Thanks for the video. I am training to go beyond 20 pull ups. The last time I did 20 pull ups in a set was as a teen wheb I was 12kg lighter. I have reached sets of 18. I agree very much with your hybrid system

Hi Anthony, great stuff as always. Would you modify this at all for us old dudes over 40?

@BodyweightMuscle Год назад

Hi Chad! I followed the plan as it is and had great results. I just recommend staying on the low end of volume from what is recommended in the video.

@luismelo2216 Год назад

Great video. Is it OK to do other exercises (push-ups or squats, for example) during the rest periods between failure sets?

@BodyweightMuscle Год назад

Hi Luis, yes indeed, I actually recommend this in part 2 and I share different ways on how to apply this. I'll be releasing part 2 this Saturday so stay posted 💪🏻

@radercalisthenics Год назад

One of my biggest regrets is that I never stopped at that pull-up bar along the lake but rather drove by it multiple times. I intend to rectify that situation! I find that I can only do 2-3 fewer reps on rings versus bar, but I don't use the bar much any more due to elbow sensitivity. Do you know why my max would be lower with rings? Energy leaks? Anyway, great video and great advice.

@BodyweightMuscle Год назад

Hi Stephen! Some people say that the instability that the rings create have you exerting more energy per rep. Yet personally I don't believe this makes such a difference and it really has to do with what is your body most accustomed to. For example I've had trainees of mine that learned to do pull-ups on gymnastic rings under my coaching and when they tried to do pull-ups on a pull-up bar they actually found it harder! So I really think it's an issue of what you've done most in your life and therefore if you've done a lot more reps on the pull-up bar it makes sense that rings will be harder and vice versa!

@jonnk7347 4 месяца назад

It really works, this kind of approach. Started out at barely 4 reps only six weeks ago, now I'm at 7 reps. And that's with three weeks of viral infection!

@sergedupon7903 Год назад

Hi Anthony, great video once again! This is just what a needed to my “train every day push/ pull program”. Can i apply the same with dips on the same day? So one easy day with pull ups and dips followed by a technical failure day with pull ups and dips and so on?

@BodyweightMuscle Год назад

Hi Serge, great questionn I actually cover this in detail in part 2 (I even give an example with dips) but the short answer is that yes indeed you can! Also, since dips will be your focus, start with them first and couple your pull-ups afterwards

@sergedupon7903 Год назад

Thank you for your quick answer Anthony! I will apply this in my training. Looking forward to part 2!

@BodyweightMuscle Год назад

You're very welcome, keep on training 💪🏻

@basicprogrammer6147 Месяц назад

The pyramid method worked great for me. This method, you do pull ups every day. You keep one in the tank at the peak of the pyramid. So, a pyramid would look like: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 9, 7, 5, 3. The notion is that your body gets used to doing pull ups every day. I forgot what that's called when your muscles get used to a daily routine.

@jamesmorwood619 Год назад

Great video Anthony! Really looking forward to starting this routine. I have a question. As someone that wants to improve pull ups for climbing, what is the bare minimum push routine to support this? Not interested in aesthetics, just want to be really strong at pull ups but not have imbalances that could cause injury. Thanks 💪

@BodyweightMuscle Год назад

Hi James, excellent question! I actually cover this in detail in part 2. But to give a quick answer in case you want to get started sooner than next week, let me ask you first: What kind of push exercise can you do? I'm assuming you can do push-ups, what about dips?

@jamesmorwood619 Год назад

@bodwiser100 Год назад

Thanks a lot! On days when I do easy + failure sets, did you mean 4-5 minutes rest between easy sets also? Or did you mean 45 seconds (at least) between easy sets and 4-5 minutes between failure sets?

Hi Jimmy that's a good question, I'll be answering it in excruciating detail in part 2 😄💪🏻

@nandogc Год назад

Hi Anthony, How should I add this routine to my daily workout? I am currently following the advanced phase of your book "How to Build Strong & Lean".

@BodyweightMuscle Год назад

Hi Nando, I actually cover this in detail in Part 2. But, in a nutshell, replace all your pull exercises with Pull-ups (if you pull-ups are the exercise you want to improve) and take it easier (intensity-wise) on the rest of the exercises, especial on Workout B of the plan suggested in the video.

@nandogc Год назад

@@BodyweightMuscle Thanks so much, Anthony! 💪

@slavicus2046 Год назад

I've been stuck on 12 pull-ups for months, so frustrating. Especially since my dips keep going up and up like it's nothing.

@BodyweightMuscle Год назад

Don't worry, that happens, progress isn't always linear! I do recommend going through this plan, though, it works really well! 💪🏻

@timadams9447 9 месяцев назад

Have you considered adding a little hanging weight to make those 12 harder? Might help you break through at normal hanging weight

Aren’t you at risk of getting tendinitis if you would do pull up’s 6 days a week, even with the easy days?

@southwestcalgary Год назад

You are at risk of being weak

@BodyweightMuscle Год назад

Hi SA, it depends. If your joints are healthy, you follow the custom warm ups and guidelines, doing this once or twice a year shouldn't be an issue. If you have a history of tendonitis caused by pull-ups and overall sensitive joints you might be better off to avoid intense training routines like this one.

@southwestcalgary It's not nonsense. I used to do so many pull ups until my elbows started to creak. Took a year to recover. Work out with some sense. I would say 3x a week would suffice to improve (but do to failure).
