Hi

@@Rosin2 Hello!

Nick how are you

@@nicksymmonds hi!

Do you do sprints or distance training on your FitApp? honestly anything would help though,

Fr I do them by bending my legs got told that's harder can though 5,6 in a row without training

@@mrsurprise2294 bending legs is easier.

@@TheEncry I'm like bending it behind the knee still easier?

SAME BRO LMFAO

@@mrsurprise2294 You need to stretch out your legs straight out or straight down. Bending evens weight more so its easier

This is light work fr Ong 💀, the laziness on full display from most of the ppl who didn't even try respectfully

So pissed rn

Good for you! You should be proud of yourself.

Congrats. I was in a similar place a few months ago. If you practice everyday you’ll get to 10 rep in no time. Then it’s onto muscle ups

how's the journey dude you still working out?

Nice, it took me a couple weeks doing assisted pull ups before I can do 1 on my own,

18 years old, it's an awesome time to start. Even dedicating a solid 6-8 months now can change the rest of your life.

Nice job man, I also just hit 10 consecutive pull ups for the first time today. I think when I get to 12 consecutive imma start doing weighted pull ups, if you can do 5 sets of 10 easy I'd reccomend you start trying weighted pull ups as well!

What was your max?

what was your max

10 is sort of easy on my first set. Steady, clean, all the way down and up. After that, it gets harder and a little sloppier to be honest. I always stop at 10, so maybe I should try to see how many I can do. I probably can't do many more than 10 clean, so maybe 15? I'll try Monday.

When I was 240lbs last year and couldn't do more than a couple, it was disappointing. I'm 40 years old and 6'3". Shouldn't be that hard. Now that I'm 185lbs, it's easier not pulling up all that weight. I think my calorie deficit is hindering my strength though. I noticed my endurance is up, but I lift less than I did a while ago. Also, I lift fasted, so maybe that's a factor. I don't know. This whole fitness journey is new to me, so there is so much to learn.

wow youre easy

That’s great for you man, a confidence boost

same thing here i could do chin ups before i even started working out but pulls ups made my soul leave my body

@@MrLinker44 Yea, with an untrained back, I could jump into some chin ups straight away as I got a pull up bar for home. But had to grind out bar hanging, then assisted pull ups with legs on chair until I could do an actual 1st pull-up, and I'm relatively decent shape otherwise. The progression went pretty smoothly from there tho' & reached a nr of 6-7 pretty quickly, felt like something got unlocked.

Was on a bulk and had a really hard time with them, enter cut and somehow 12-15 is 0 problem

Back vs arm strength. Unless someone trains, weighs less or genetically gifted with back strength, pull ups are challenging.

Nope. People weak asf these days.

@@DanielMendoza-vz6ss They are. There are people who can bench a respectable 315 and can't even do 10 pullups. I still can't understand that shit.

Have to give them some credit for trying though.

Thats amazing honestly, i wonder if too many people write themselves off of working out after they reach a certain age

Proud of you sir

Great!!

Bro glazing himself😂

9 WIDE GRIP pull ups engaging mostly your upper back is fucking ridiculously hard

I don't think they are using age as an excuse. I think they genuinely believe that they are too old to train. As you get older, people are constantly telling you that you are too old to do certain things and if you hear it enough times you start to believe it. I used to be extreme;y fit when I was younger, but my health had reached a very low point as I headed into my fifties due to long working hours, injuries and general neglect. I used to struggle to get out of chairs, up stairs etc. Due to an issue with my legs I had to start doing some physio exercises and within 3 months I no longer had issues getting out of chairs etc. I feel motivated to do more training, as I feel like I did 15-20 years ago. It makes me wonder about older people who you see struggling to stand up and if they could improve the quality of their lives if someone took the trouble to help them exercise. I believe that exercising when you get older is probably more important than when you are younger, when you already have a degree of fitness.

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. AGE IS & ALWAYS WILL BE, JUST A NUMBER. POWER OF PLACEBO, LEARN IT, KNOW IT! EMBRACE IT, THEN UTILIZE & INITIALIZE INTO ONES DAILY LIFE….. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Probably he trained a lot when younger and older people who didn't wouldn't be able to catch up also some age better than others

I am 51 and I can do 10-12 pull ups and I am 5'7 210lbs. From 16 to 46 years old when I was only 170lbs. I was able to do 20-21. In my gym I got paired up with a 23 year old. He is more athletic and faster but when it comes to strength I can keep up with him. Age has slowed me down quite a bit, but if I had stopped moving I feel like I would be so much more slower. Keep on exercising it does keep you from being frail and infirm.

@@alxtan1 Good for you, but you guys still don't get the point, some people get to that age with injuries or other conditions that are contrary to pullups for example, is that so hard to understand?

...my favorite too. Every time I go to the gym, I do chin ups. Other stuff I rotate through. It must be an instinct thing from the days of climbing trees.

they're awesome. the first couple are the best, when you slam the bar so hard against your chest it rattles the cage. BAM CLANG haha, so satisfying

I just broke 15 the other day and I was like WOAH can’t wait to crank 20 in the future.

X2 te lo juroooo

@@SonsOfDeForestBAM CLANG, what kinda shit is that 🤣🤣🤣

Rock climbing does 2 wonders for your back strength

I couldnt do one pull up 2 years ago before I started climbing and now the most ive done is 15! Its an incredible feeling to make that progress.

What V can you climb?

Was thinking the same thing I don’t remember ever having to learn a pull up just something I’ve always been able to do and if I suddenly couldn’t Then I’ve hit rock bottom 😂

fr due to health issues I took 2 years off gym and gained 40 pounds... I can still rep out 6 of them lmao

I remember when I was a lot younger the first time I went round a friends house, he had one of those pullup bars that you can put in a doorway, he told me to give it a try and I just hung there like a potato lol. I'd never worked out or anything at that point, even I was surprised how weak I was!

Yea when I first started doing pull-ups I realized how many muscles are required in the motion since I'd wake extremely sore all over the place after doing a couple.

@@alexrailton2067 I was like that during 8th grade, but it just comes naturally. First banded pull ups then free motion, I can do 20 max at 200lb, but just not as easy as when I was 190lb

I like to work for my lazy time. I'm doing Shaun T Insanity. Once I'm done, I can be lazy for 45min before my kids gets to me. 😅

That's the way to do them bro, keep knocking them out

Sweet man that’s awesome

hell yeah man way to go

Nice

wow good job im 21 still super young and i do 3 sets of 8 pull ups. good job my man this gives hope to the young generation.. we have TIME!

Cycling, deadlifts, pullups!

Yeah I was the same, they are so easy when you are young and your strength to weight ratio is high

Pull-ups R one of the best exercises around. Good job getting back in there.

Same when i was 15-16 i started with 1-2 and built up to 14-15 in 3 months. Now at 33 after losing some weight and doing extra gym time to get back in shape i cant get over 7-8. My weight/strength ratio is off.

@@Kanawanu Thanks for the inspiration brother.

Just remember if you feel fat, think of them as a weight vest

Same I do a lot of exercises in gym but not pull up,got ALL messed up after 10 other day

you are exactly right and that is why he is doing this challenge people don’t realize how difficult, even one, pull up is for somebody that doesn’t do pull-ups

@@therealjackieheezy idk bro gymming for 7 years now, never practiced pull ups and yet pull ups crazy easy for me 🤣

@@therealjackieheezy you do similair exercisez with the machines only that there is slight shift in muscle activation due to it requiring more coordination

@@NLSniperLordNL let me clarify, i meant ppl who don’t do pull ups or exercise in general somebody like yourself that does his thing but maybe not pull ups so much, i can definitely see you breaking some off if you wanted to

Update?

One thing that helps is negative pull ups especially when you can only do one

No. You forgot core. that's the most important.

There are so many different ways you can do it

Chin ups are easier for sure

You cannot pull to your chest if your core is too weak

1000 dollars

that's exactly what i thougt. If it has arrived to myslef i would have done every fcuking muscle up variation that i know just to flex lmao

It does not change anything though, it still would be 100 dollars :D Pretty sure anyone doing 20 decent pull ups can do muscle ups

Even better a one arm pull up

Image David goggins comes and does 4000 pull-ups 😭

I think that's badass, you found a weakness and went right after it.

"If you want to get good at running, you have to go running," my sergeant would always say. I did just that and can now comfortably run a sub-six mile. One day our squadron busted out some jump ropes and I thought, "I haven't jumped rope in a decade, but my cardio is off the charts so this should be cake." To my surprise, I was gassed after about two minutes. It's amazing how your body adapts, but only to the specific thing it's used to. I learned that, in the world of fitness, being good at something similar is not always translatable, which is why I (unpopularly) respect the hell out of crossfit athletes.

push up do contract your scapular plane and the back a tiny bit but it wont help with pull up strength

Pull ups works with different set of muscles though, so it's not strange. It helps a lot if your muscle is strong enough in proportion to your mass.

@@badsanta7356 I figured most people could do a pull up it’s not that difficult but it all depends on who you are testing

@@davidhernandez2683 I’m sure it depends on who you are including in this survey. Stand in front of a gym and the odds are most people can do a pull up. Go to a convalescent home and nobody could do one. But I suppose most people can’t do one. I find them to be very easy.

@@MilkTestingMan ikr?! 🤣🤣

Hah, don't tell me about it. Been there, not done that. And by that, I mean workout. In years.

its nice to work out, but it doesnt have much to do with health though. everyone is on the health lie, even bodybuilders. just admitt that you want to be strong and or jacked. just slightly fast walking for 5-10km a day for example is healthier then all this strenght training. dont forget all the injurys that occur while working out

i was/ am injured and want to work out on a regulary base again, though 😪

Definitely the same. I stopped going to the gym about 4 years back but could do around 15 pull ups back then. Was totally shocked when I went to an obstacle course that required an upper body climb and I couldn't even really get started. Started going to the gym again right after that. 2 months in and its slowly coming back

The key for me is never to have more than 3 days off. Even if injured or ill, do a little movement, stretching even. Keeps your mind in the right place. Whenever I take a week off, it can turn into months easily

i was wondering about that thicker bar that was definitely the scam factor for the uninitiated lol

13 strict pull-ups is really impressive. 25 pull-ups is insane. But the truth is that 90% of people lie to themselves. They don't do a strict pull-up which means after every rep you need to get into a dead hang. I can do 14 strict pull-ups but that's after a year of training.
