When I learned pull ups, I installed gymnastics rings on my indoor pull up bar. You can simulate a lower bar with them to do Australians PUs. You also get access to a ton of fun exercises.

The combination of the following things worked for me to go from zero to 5-6 pull-ups within a short period of time: 1. Isometric exercises. I gradually increased the time to hold myself in the lower, middle and upper position. 2. Changing grip. The normal grip is harder, the reverse grip is easier and rather a biceps exercise. 3. Negative movements 4. Partial range of motion. 5. Resistance band. The problem with this is that it works especially for the lower positions. 6. Reverse ladder. When I could do several pull-ups, I started to apply this.

I’d like to highlight Mark’s point about building up strength with kettlebells before starting a pullup program. I decided a while back to learn pullups before I got serious with kettlebells. I jumped right on to a bar and pushed myself too hard. I ended up giving myself tendonitis in both arms, and was essentially out of nearly all physical activity for about 4 months (running and biking only). When I was finally able to swing a 12kg kettlebell again, I worked a progression program over several months, and got up to 28kg swings safely. Only then did I attempt pullups, using bands and a progression program. I can now do up to 10 pullups at a time (no bands), and have goals of doing a muscle up with rings. Pullups are absolutely no joke, so please heed Mark’s advice on taking them slowly!

@@FourCorners257 Yikes! Hopefully you’re on the road to recovery…that sounds terrible! An important leason I learned through my injury is to ignore the noise when people tell you to that you have to push to the limits all the time to make progress. I learned to honestly evaluate myself, meet myself where I’m at, and build slowly and progressively from there. We’re not all proffesional athletes here…health and strength is relative to you and your own journey!

I've found that doing bodyweight rows has seemed to help my pull up progress as well. I currently have a pull up tower, but before that i had the door frame pull up bar, tied some rope to each side, set up a chair for my legs to rest on and did those occasionally. Love bodyweight rows.

Intermittent Fasting+Keto+Nerd Math 2 Program has worked wonders for me. I went from 210lbs (at the start of Jan 2021) to 148lbs just this December. I won't recommend it outright because what might work for me, might not for some. Best way to start dieting is to see a dietician/doctor first. I did not do that, I was just (stupidly) lucky that my body adapted.

If you are in the early stages of pull-up progression, would recommend one of those cheap dip bar setups (metal tube style) and doing horizontal rows to “break down” the movement. Cheap and portable.

Kettlebell swings made me be able to do pull ups I was doing mix grip pullups and suspension trainer rows (trx) but you would be surprised how strong you are with mix grip. I also heard that the military is switching to mix grip pullups with a crunch at the top. I do jiujitsu and rugby and just doing simple and sinister has made my cardio better and my strength is going up.

Mark, what is your opinion about daily push/pull ups? Like every hour, one or 2 to practise. Or 3 times a day a set or 2 max (like your 40%), so you don't burn out. But not as a training, more as to practise the movement and skills itself? If you run other programmes on top of that, is there any risk of overtraining (too much overhead work)?

I'm in a similar boat. Just started a pull-up volume cycle similar to Mark's pushup cycle. I can do around 10-12 pullups before failure so I'm doing sets of 5 EMOM style. Started at 5 minutes with the goal of doing 20 minutes (100 pullups total). If I get to that point I plan to test again and see if it worked.

Do you have any recommendations to get a good pull setup in a rental unit/ apartment? Drilling/modifications allowed if you can cover it up before you move out - ceiling mounted would be less than ideal because the popcorn ceiling would probably show obvious modifications. I've seen some semi decent pull-up stations but they cost a lot and take up a lot of space for just a bar. Winter is co... cold and in the city so outside isn't great.

@timgerber5563 2 жыл бұрын

There are some less destructive versions: not exactly a pull-up bar, but there are TRX-Bands you can mount in a door and pull at an upward angle. Should not destroy the door as long as you pull the door in its closing direction. Another idea would be the pull-up mate: a pipe system you can stick together to make a free-standing pull-up rack. However, I don’t know how much effort it is to put it together and apart every time if you don’t want to have it standing around.

@maximisatwat Жыл бұрын

Snatch is really a 'push' type exercise. It's a ham/butt powered swing combined with a triceps vertical push. I don't see why anything about it would help the lats which is what pull ups require.. I would expect his squats and press-ups to be helped though, as those use some of those muscles.

Do you have any advise on dealing with back spasm/knots. I would say I have issues with knots in my back every other month or so, to a point where they usually cause a limited range of motion in my neck (pinched nerve kind of thing) I am well versed in treating them I just can’t find a good plan for preventing them. I was always told my chest was too strong and back is too weak. I adjusted to very little chest and a lot of back exercising and minimal improvement. I train barbel dumbbell kettle bell and clubs, 4-5 days a week. I have noticed that heavier barbel squat seems to be a trigger for this issue so I use weight that is usually in the ten rep or less range but it’s not perfect. I usually drink about a gallon of water a day so hydration is not the issue either. I’m open to any suggestions, your elbow stretch video has been life changing.

@maximisatwat Жыл бұрын

It's essential to learn how to relax the muscles in the back to remove knots. Probably to relax them successfully will also require learning to clear emotional things out of your mind as well, and to slow the speed of your breathing. When knots form, it takes away the ability of muscle to detect subtle changes and therefore balance an area well around the bones, so it often starts hurting somewhere near. Like I said, relaxing, clearing emotions and slowing breath to make body go into relaxation mode is how you do it, but this needs a LOT of work

About a year ago you said to work up towards 20 sets of 5/5 in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9RxabuKuci9hnU.html&ab_channel=MarkWildman. However since you started the analysis of peoples program it seems you think that both reps and sets are high.

What NONSENSE. Snatches don't use any muscles you would need for a pull up i.e. 'lats'. That's why it hasn't helped him. Kettlebell 'Rows' probably WOULD help him do pull ups. Because they are lat dominant. It is not 'neurological nonsense'. What is the point of spreading waffle you don't really know like this?
