72 years old,I'm up to 7 pull ups. Also been practicing hanging with one had to increase grip strength. I do some pull ups with my legs straight out to work the abs at the same time
I’m 72 and can’t do as many as I used to in a single set when I was in my 50’s (14). I often do a EMOM workout where I do 3-4 every minute on the minute for 10, 12, or 14 minutes. My best is 42 in 14 minutes
I just ordered this mattress --Sleepovation --in a twin. I have a bad back--age 70 110 lbs Hopefully, this mattress works well because it is very expensive. I had my firm Saatva for two years and it sags. ;( And my back hurts.
Lol...kudos for trying to make converting exercise apparatuses into clothing racks- GUILT FREE! But I’m not falling for it! 😂 BTW...you gentlemen are AMAZING
So true about making sure the door trim is nailed in good. We learned the hard way. Son did some pull ups & it gave way. The trim, pullup bar & him came down.
After hurting my rotator cuff previously, doing pull ups this way feels so much better. If people need an alternative for this then gymnastics rings work wonders. I hang my rings from a strong beam in my garage but you can also attach them to a sturdy tree branch.
Long time sub and fan of many of your YT content. I’ve always done pull ups and consider them a fundamental exercise that makes up a core part of my resistance training. I have never neglected the basic exercises same as I have always maintained a properly balanced diet and everything else.
Heeheehee... you guys are funny 😄 I like that gadget Brad made for the wall! Love your tips! I tell my friends who have issues about you too. 😊 Your hip videos have helped me. I have bursitis on both hips. And arthritis in my life back where I had surgery in '99. Thanks! My orthopedic Dr sent me to therapy for the bursitis.
I'm in my 50s and have to admit that I'm not able to do even a single pull-up yet. But I've been going to the gym and do assisted pull-ups. One of these days as long as I'm diligent in going to the gym, I'm sure I'll be able to do it soon. And enjoy the monkey bars :-D
I rent and cannot put bolts into wall studs without losing my damage deposit. I prefer the other methods for pull-ups. 1. Tension pull-up bar: not permanently affixed, you adjust the length of the bar; when weight is applied, the bar cinches tighter into the door frame. I use gymnastics rings attached by short strips of climbing webbing to the bar, giving me the range of motion they talk about it. 2. Duonamics eleviia pull-up clamps. Quick and easy. You don't get the full range of motion or the ability to do all the exercises you can with the bar and rings, but the clamps are lighter, easier to take down and put up (just a few seconds actually). Great for travel
You can also hang a resistance band and have it go on the bottom of your foot which can make pullups easier. Then you can reduce the band as you get stronger.
I LOVE the inspirational quote!!! Be who you needed when you were young!!! Sweet!!!! I’m not good with pull-ups!!! I have been sharing different playlists of yours most everyday, with my clients!! You two ROCK!!!! Have a happy rest of your week! 🙂
Its likely due to your low back extends with these, Mine hurts to. However if you do them with your knees up towards your chest ( hips flexed) it should feel much better. Good luck
@Bob & Brad *The last time I did PULL-UPS, it caused me to get a very very painful PINCHED-NERVE in the back Right Hip.* *You talk about Severe Scrutiating PAIN for about 5 long months.* = - o *After 13 years gone by,,, I still will Never, Never, Never do another PULL-UP again as long as I live.*
