I swear I was only 30-something years old last year, but then I blinked and suddenly I'm 56. How did THAT happen? 🤔 In any case, although I'm perfectly able-bodied, I recently realized that I have lost an alarming amount of physical strength as I've gotten older. I now find that I can't do a single pull-up, and in fact can BARELY manage a single push-up! How ridiculous I feel to have allowed myself to get so weak and out of shape! Fortunately, the situation is completely fixable. I just need to get off my bum and start exercising again. After seeing loads of videos by ripped, muscular 20-year olds, I admit I was feeling a little discouraged (comparison really IS the thief of joy!), but seeing your video helped motivate me when the other videos didn't. You, good sir, are an inspiration. You've certainly inspired me, at any rate. Thanks for all you do! Keep up the excellent work! 💪🙂

Your videos are really encouraging, no pretence. I’ve just got some bands; I’d started doing some dumbbell work most days , thinking that would strengthen me for pull-ups. No!! I feel worse when I got back to them. I’m going to do pull-ups as my main thing, using the bands, then doing the dumbbells secondarily. I’d love to do muscle-ups. Keep doing the videos, please. Bill.

My man! Back at it again!

Great job sir! Im starting this week......hanging!

I just want to thank you for your content. I often forget to like and comment so thank you for reminding me

I’m 65 and I can now do 11 pull-ups without resistance bands and/or kipping. This spring I’m installing an outdoor muscle up bar to start working on my muscle-ups. I do 2 min daily dead-hangs too and whew, it is painful as a Mo#h^* Fu*^*# 😂.

Thank you very much; I am 60, wanted to start pull ups but have no pull up bars withing a five mile radius at any school or park, so I ordered a pull up tower from Amazon. I currently have spent two weeks practicing hanging for a few seconds at a time as I can not yet pull myself up. My assistance bands and a set of calisthenics rings have arrived to start the real work of beginning progressions to build up to an unassisted pull up. Thank you for the motivation and instruction.

Thanks for the advise! I’ve always struggeled with the pull up

I would really say thankyou for this content ❤️

Great motivation, thanks for walking the talk.🎉

I’ve recently purchased some rings and been watching instructional videos and yours are the only ones I found that shows band use to start with your progressions. I’ve used progressions overload weightlifting for years so this was helpful. I already have bands and started using them and you now have a new subscriber. Thank you for your videos.

Cheers dude!

I did a Video a few days ago about pull ups and just saw yours here! What a brilliant advice Very well done Video my friend!

Muito bom, estou apreendendo com você meu amigo. Deus abençoe. Brasil.

I tried getting good at pull ups about a year ago, could never get past five reps, could add more sets of five, but never got that sixth rep. Think I’m gonna give it another go and incorporate the bands this time.

Hi Antony, thanks for the video. I'm using the same method to get to unassisted pull ups and would add:- .Be patient , its taken me five months to progress from green to black band. .Always do a warm up set or two with your heaviest band before working sets. I had bad elbow tendonitis and this will reduce the risk. .Experiment with hand positions, I find parallel grip or chin ups kinder to elbows. .For me a rep rang of 6 to 12 before progressing seems to work best, progressing to a lighter band once I can do several sets of 12 good reps. .I aim for.a bit more volume of around 40 reps per session .I'm quite long limbed so my mechanics are not the best for pullups and chin ups. .If you are a bit tubby loosing a few lbs does make a difference. I hope that helps 👍💪

Super content❤

Thank you so much for the informative and kind video. I saw that u recommended the pullup and dip resistance bands in an other video. Do you prefer those or the ones linked in the description? Or what would you recommend? Thank you

Anthony, sthsnks for this. There are sooo many nad reviews abiut dursbility and wuakity of bands. Which onws have kasted yiu a long time? - months/yesrs. Or is that question even possible to ask? As most reviews say rhey crack, snap and don't wben last a month of daily work outs. They even say rhat rhe inkong of the name still looks in mint condition whwn rhe bands give way.

What I find annoying is the sizes of some bars. Some are wider and it costs me more effort in getting a good firm grip. Love your videos and especially the fact you are over fifty just like me. It shows age is not an excuse.

Any tips for ring pull ups? I can do one, and barely, and struggle on how to do more. Negatives? Jump up and hang still? Will that build strength for more? And does bands work equally well as help with ring pull ups? Yes, many questions... 🙃

Гуд дэй.айм -Антолий😂

Mine have just been delivered. Where did you get your pull up bar from?

Hi Anthony,I purchased the bands from your Amazon link , how did you get the green and purple bands to stretch so far? Unless you’re videos are deceptive and you’re very short I can’t see how you did it!😂

Although i work out for 3 months,i gained muscles ,got bigger ,even can lift up higher weights ,but i can still do max of 4pull ups...any ideas on what's wrong?

Hi mate, would you say it's true that a person should be able to do 15 dead hang pull ups before they attempt a muscle up and if they can't do 15 dead hang pull ups, it's unlikely they will be able to do a muscle up?
