No need to apologize for shortness. It is jam packed with great information and clearly communicated.

Short and straight to the point is what keeps us motivated. Don’t have time listening to those who go on rambling on and on….

70 year old here, at 48 I could do 10 clean pull-ups. Then left shoulder surgery, and right bicep tear. I'm going to try from your starting points and see how it goes. Thanks very much!

Adam! I did my first real pull up at 38 yo today.... your explanation was SO good. Thanks a lot man.

When I retired I started doing pull ups and push ups to failure alternating days with hill repeat cycling. Two years ago I could only do 3 pull ups. Now, my personal best is 65 full range of motion body weight pull ups in a row at age 61. It becomes cardio blood flow oxygenation at high reps. When I got stuck at 50 reps, I got past the plateau using a 20 lb weighted vest. I am now in maintenance mode, doing about 60 body weight pull ups in a row, 5 second arms shake, and 20 reps more in a second set, and push ups every other day. At my age, any reduction in effort results in loss of personal best numbers. If I ever decide to compete in pull up contests, I would build up again with the weighted vest. Unlike this video, I definitely don't talk/narrate when doing my sets since I am breathing hard to the point of hyper ventilation. One trick is to have zero grip tension at the top for the first 20-25 reps for micro rest blood recirculation and less bloodflow-restricting pump. I minimize the negative which is not great for mass training, but my goal is fatigue resistance, cardio, lactic acid signaling brain effects, mitochondrial biogenesis, and practical strength such as shoveling the entire driveway type activities. The last rep in a set might be a partial rep because otherwise you may not be pushing yourself to complete failure which appears to be one reason why I made steady gains. Stopping at mere discomfort is not enough.

Short and straight to the point is the best content, thanks for the tips.

Wow! A workout video on KZfaq with a guy that actually knows what he’s talking about and gives great, simple advice. Bravo sir👏

Your vids are only packed with the good stuff as always! Much appreciated!

agreed, great job, after I learned the 1 set to muscle failure, with good form, reps don't matter, just do it right! 😊

How refreshing to get some experienced and clear, quality advice from someone who obviously knows what he is talking about. Most important of all, in passing on knowledge and experience for the benefit of others and who, unlike some of the people who put exercise videos out, isn't in love with himself. First class.

brother, comprehensive and short, no bs. This is how it shplould be. Plus, no endorsing of personal stuff

Thank you, Adam. These tips will be very helpful for me. Keep up the good work.

Wish I found your channel sooner. This is so clear and to the point. Keep it up!

Thank you for being straight to the point, and proving your goal is to help, not show off and give us a history lesson on the pull-up. (Like I have seen with YT influencer) your not an influencer, your a digital coach

your videos came a long way... love the new engaging and editing ur videos way better from before and educational..

A great video! I’ve been struggling with my pull-up training, as I can’t get more than four done, and already I saw some mistakes in my training. Definitely subscribing this channel!

I must compliment you on your ORAL quality of the video. Nothing worse than when the viewer is TRYING to hear what's being said while completely failing to do so. this video sounds amazing, the points were clear and you demonstrated with great technique. Excellent audio, thank you!!

One of the best and most correct videos I've ever seen. Excellent. I hope the rest of your content is as clear and concise.

I just want to add a point from the perspective of a 67 year old. That thing he shows with the band can be replicated at many levels, with wider, more stiff, stronger bands that give more assistance. I have the set from Wodfitters but there are a bunch of brands out there. I think almost anyone could do three sets of 10 pull-ups with their blue (most assistance) band. I started with the band that provides most assistance, moved on to the second level, and then the third. That is the middle level of their 5 band set. It still provides much more help than the thin band in this video. I have two more levels to go, and then back to unassisted pull-ups like I did when I was 30. If you literally can’t do a single unassisted pull-up, and the blue band is not enough help to get you to three sets of ten, you could put one foot in the blue band and one in the green. At some point the assistance is too much, and you can’t get down enough that your arms are straight. Using this system, literally anybody can increase their time under tension to three sets of 10.

Great video!! This is what I am teaching my nephew currently. Clean, concise with lots of info. Im sharing this to so many people

Probably the best video that I've come across on this subject, appreciated.

Great informative video ❤thank you for the motivation & encouragement to keep going & doing it right.

New sub from Australia 🇦🇺, loved the info and lack of BS, short and direct is perfect 👌

This was an incredible video super informative. I really appreciate you going over all these things you look great too, Sir. 😊🙌💪

Superb motivation thanks king you’re in phenomenal shape very informative content blessings

Excellent love watching you workout!

To the point. Excellent. Appreciated. Thanks bro

Thank You Adam You adv are really useful 🙏🙏

I’m 60, was yearning for numbers, and now strive to do only one pull up. 60 seconds full ROM up, hold, then another 60 seconds down. Over a dozen orthopedic surgeries, and the only time I’m not in chronic pain, is when working out. Sitting, relaxing, trying to sleep all hurts.

After shoulder injury bands are a blessing. Love them!

Good education right here. I also agree with the emphasis on the point that to increase ability, it’s not important how many you can do right now but rather recognizing where you’re currently at and working from there.

Good summary! Learned nothing new but still enjoyed your straightforward explanation and the hintboxes. Well done!

I´ve been watch a lot of fitness content in the last 10 years. This is really good explained, straight to the point. Thank you for a video like this.

Gracias 👍🏻, la mejor explicación y motivación. A darle!! 💪🏻💪🏻

Thanks for posting really great video with a lot of information in a short video 👌

This is the best video for pull-ups I’ve come across. Great and HELPFUL information. Thank you.

Great advice and enjoyed the video. Training is extremely specific, so even though time under tension is great, you do also need to perform reps more quickly as well or you will train the muscle to be strong but used to slow movements.

Short video, but straight to the point - love it!!

Genius!! Learned soo much 🥰 have a plan of action and excited to get at it!

Probably the best video I have seen to date on this subject and the one I am personally going to refer back to as I progress. Thank you.

This really is a must see for beginners… i eventually did it in this fashion, after seeing dozens of videos to work it out… this video, as he says, is short and to the point… the best and most comprehensive video I’ve seen. (Started with a half pull up… a half! Doing 8 now before using the band for two extra and longer sets.)

Been following you for years man. Absolutely love your tips and motivation!

I did all this instinctively years ago. It worked. I went from 0 to 10 reps. Negatives will get you to your first full rep. Resting a whole week between workouts or even 10 days is how i always reached my next record. When i reached 5-7 reps i started working out more, doing pull ups 3 times per week, but my rep count per series went down, every time i was able to do less! But long rests brought back all the strength and more. Don't wait more than 9-10 days though, or you'll get out of shape again. Band + also inclined pull ups to help reach the time under tension target.

I've been doing a lot of pullups over the past 2-3 years and this is EXACTLY how you progress. Amazing video! I used resistance band for like a year and also doing more tight grip chins before I moved over to wide pullups 15 months ago. The strength gains has been incredible on my pullups journey. But it takes time! :)

Thank you Adam for the useful tips! Very helpful! God bless and good luck!

Thank you for the teaching session, great work.

Great instruction. Short and direct. Thank you!

Short & straight to the point? Love it!!! Great info I'm going to use right now!

Great vid. Im always trying to do more reps out of habit but im slowly changing those habits.

me as a physiotherapist will give your video to some of my patients, very good explained amd most importantly, the things ur saying are medically cprrect, keep it up my g!

Working out BREAKS DOWN THE MUSCLE; resting BUILDS THEM BACK UP--stronger. Makes perfect sense! Excellent information.

That is a great video. I am trying to get back to my old strength, and have a long way to go. Pull ups are a depressing exercize to do, because the starting number is literally zero. You can't do even a single one. But, over time, you build up. Thank you. I'm still at a low single digit number, but getting better.

this guy took what i learned in months from the internet and put it into a compact video easy to understand the scapula pull is very important took me 6 months to learn about it. One thing he didn't say is that if you can do only 2 clean push-ups, and you can't get your chin over the bar that's fine do half reps until you can't do half reps do only scapula pulls and then hang until you can't hang no more that's how you train until failure and build muscle especially if you don't want a resistance band

Very informative, thank you so much.

Great information and clear with tons of tips! Subscribed and liked Immediately. Thank you.

Short videos filled with information is the way to go. This style works

This was so informative, and very useful. Definitely going to use his process to begin my pull-up journey.

Solid advice. No nonsense. No time wasted. Easy to remember. Nicely done.

I agree! It is how you do it not how many reps you can do. I often do way less reps but get much more time under tension. Huge help!

Very informative video. Thank you for telling like it is , clear and concise.

Excellent video. Thank you🙏

Excellent advice. I've been training for a year and came to the same conclusions. Negatives and dead hangs are huge for beginners. Dead hangs in particular can fix shoulder and spine issues, in addition to building grip strength. I also add a deload week once per month, where I don't exercise at all, in order to let the slower growing muscles catch up. Many people simply use less weight or do lower reps, but I think rest is undervalued by most of us. This will relieve some of the long term fatigue that you build up as you get stronger and become used to training.

Quality - earned a subscriber!

Great video, thanks. I'm going to check out the rest of your work.

First time here. Awesome info.! Learnt heaps just in that “ short “ vid. Thanks Adam.

Thanks for the informative video. I definitely have to work on my form, once I perfect that maybe my pull up number can go up!

Keep the uploads more frequent mate your channel is mint . 🇬🇧

except posture/body tension he covers it all, i find. would like to have that added by him. pretty compact and well explained. he picked me up, nice.

Dude! Short Video. Straight to the point. Packed with great info. INSTANT SUBSCRIBE!! Appreciate you.

Short and to the point, thats what we want! Very good video.

Wow, first time I see someone mention "Full Lock out Pull ups" and I think they are key 🙌 You have to be the best teacher, many thanks Adam.

Amazing video with the right information on techniques for this exercise, well done! Thank you so much, now I need to get to work

LOVE FROM INDIA BRO.....YOUR CALESTHENICS AND BODY ARE MY LIFE GOAL BRO...!!!

really nice program - right on spot!

One of the best dudes on KZfaq

You had me at "time under tension" :-).

Great information, thank you!

I will be referring to this video not only for excellent tips, but for upper body anatomy information (I'm an artist)... you are so damn shredded. Kudos and thanks for this video!!

well done, nice and simple explanation, I try to do 6 dropsets x 10 reps, starting with a 22 pound weight vest, going straight to regular pullups and the last 2-4 reps are band assisted on the last 3 sets, another concept I love is 50 sets of just one pull-up with a minimal rest inbetween each rep /10 to 15 seconds/, as explosive as I can with a controlled eccentric, though I can't do a single muscle up, must be a technique thing

I broke my wrist earlier this year and now have to rehab my grip strength and pulling. Thanks for the tips.

Great video Adam - thanks

you are legend bro

Great video. Thank you 🙏❤️

great job! it's good when its short and direct to the point.. some go on and on.. mahalo!

Very helpful info. Thank you so much

5:57 it makes sense. working out os inflicting damage. resting is the repair that builds more muscle to withstand more damage later

Awesome!! - excellent tips - thanks so much. Short and sweet is great.

Thanks for the motivational video! Lots of good ideas! I'm going to subscribe to support your channel!

You're a good teacher.

You. Sir, are an excellent instructor. Thanks so much.

Nice explanation, thanks!

Great video, full of useful info - thanks, I will do this.

Appreciate the video, the time. Genetics is a variable. Time under tension, we have to be mindful, but we take tension off the muscle when we lock out.

Great Vid and Content! Thank you!!!

great Vid. great explanation thank you! Can you provide a link for the mic you are using?

Thank you man, I only fully realized what time under tension means after watching this video.

Great video, thank you!

Another great video and, it must be said, that is one quality mic!

Just subscribed because you go right to the point Bro

Good info, Adam! I really like the variations given depending on where you are re pull-up strength. I do need to get back to doing them periodically. Will these also work with a pull-up attachment for home use? Thanks for sharing!
