Pulldowns are nice to build the strength for pull ups. If you're starting from very very far, they're a life saver. I know many people that couldn't do a pull up to save their life (even assisted variations) and after a couple of months of Pulldowns they could at least get 1 proper pull up and are building on that
@@leinadllerp they are not the only option but definitely a good one. Rowing hasn't translated to better pull up strength within my circle but maybe it's just bad technique
I just noticed that you were using the "King of weighted" belt . Micha Schulz is the owner of "King of weighted". Why don't you make a podcast with Micha Schulz ? I would love to see you both in a podcast . I will be able to get so much knowledge about weighted calisthenics. I would also love to see you in a podcast with Ian Barseagle.
"King of weighted" pull up belt. It's a street lifting belt so there isn't much back support to keep the weight down vs a dip belt with more back support
I would say RAW, full ATG high bar barbell squats are the greatest exercise ever followed by deadlifts and then pull ups in my opinion. Strict barbell shoulder press strong 4th.
For me I replaced barbell squats with heavy bulgarians. Ive seen a huge imbalance between my right and left leg where my right leg is almost 2x as strong . But bulgarians balanced it out and ive been doing only bss for almost 4 years now and seeing the best muscle and athletic gains💪
@Vodka_loverr yeah any excersise with 'Bulgaria' in it you know it's gonna be peak. I still prefer the classic barbell squat tho, I like how it utilises the posterior chain and also is much more loadable. Just a preference really but yeah Bulgarians are no joke.
No one size fits all, I'd recommend try a variety of methods. I personally do 2 sets of weighted pullups in the 3-5 reps range to complete failure 3x a week. That's enough for my personal back needs. When I was weaker I did pullups 3x a week where I would try do as many as possible in 10 minutes. I also do a good amount of heavy bicep curls as I have weak forearms and that helps me :)
@@aborigine777 Because I've read scientific studies and I've listened to professional trainers and exercise scientists. Getting stronger and growing muscle happens at rest, and if you put hard stress on the same muscles every day, you're not going to improve for long, you're just going to plateau soon, then start getting weaker and probably also get injured if you still keep going. Educate yourself before arguing with facts
Start with a low weight like 5 or 10 kg and do negative reps rest 1 minutes and repeat a few times like 5 sets it doesn't matter even if you do 1 or 2 reps ......after 1-2 weeks the body will get used with the weight and try do do normal reps
@@joshikrishna7118 have you experimented with dead hangs? Could help your body get more used to the decompression through the spine. Ab work also helps with back pain 9/10 times, especially leg raises as they'd be specific to your problem. Pain is bad, working the muscles are good. So could be wise to transition to using a backpack instead temporarily until you strengthen your core?
Was getting around ten clean bar to chest pull-ups and now ive been stuck with shoulder pain for some weeks and just gave it rest Going to get it checked out today, wish me luck!
If you're able maybe test out Neutral grip pullups? They are for 9/10 people much easier on the joints, supplemented with strengthening your shoulder muscles. For that I like high rep Lu raises, and band pullaparts from a variety of angle. Be careful with it but behind the neck overhead press is amazing for rapidly increasing joint strength, but that's because its so hard on the joints so don't do that till you're 100% sure and only do light weight till cinfident
I have a problem - plateu. I quite fast started adding weights, 10kg for 5 reps, and then like for two months I'm still doing 10kg for 5 reps, how to break that?
No solution fits all but a very classic fix to that is switch to a different variation and milk the progression on that till you plateau then go back to normal pullups. Ie. Chin ups, wide grip pullups, neutral grip pullups (my favourite). If you find you're plateaud on every single one of those you either have a glaring muscle imbalance (unlikely but possible), you need some extra food for a bit, or you need to switch over to a different form of programming targeted to intermediates ie. No more linear progression. That is unlikely as that's more common closer to a 1 plate pullup, and don't do that till you've tested other variations.
Either do more sets of the pull-up or try to do more repetitions but check that you are resting enough, you may be putting too much strain on your body
I just bought a belt. I can already do like 10 reps with 10kg added. I'm gonna try the belt with 15kg added and targe 6/8 reps 3 times 2 min rest. What do you guys think?
My right lat is especially weak and I’ve never been able to do these. But I’m getting better at bodyweight rows (using gym rings), finally feeling my lats engage. Hoping to complete an unassisted pullup someday soon.
Bro plz can you help me I'm doing weighted pull ups since 3 months at 10kg weight but twice a week and once 3 set of 10 pull ups but my pull ups are not increasing 😢 what can I do

Definitely, especially when supplemented with negatives and scapular pullups
Same here
Not entirely true, you can build up to pullups with rows, banded pullups exist, pull-up machines... Pulldowns are by no means a life-saver.
@@leinadllerp it all works, could be a lifesaver depending on the person

@@Jordan-dr3wo Can you please share the link for it ? I couldn't find it
Heavy AHRSE weights
“Always start with the hardest exercise and movement that will build the most muscle” The Pull up is 🐐 if you want a massive back
Eric Bugenhagen’s influence over TH-cam fitness continues to grow 😂
Pull downs just now, left elbow and bicep not happy with pull up motion.
At 68, this is basically what I do just on the weekend, and has broadened and toned my shoulders, luv it!
Nothin but lightweight!!!
hi can i knew what’s the name of the belt to buy for weighted pull ups?
"King of weighted" pull up belt. It's a street lifting belt so there isn't much back support to keep the weight down vs a dip belt with more back support
Probably like dip belt
If you are not able to add weight to the pull up what do you recommend to progress?
Archer pullups first, then assisted one-arm, and finally one-arm pullups.
I would say RAW, full ATG high bar barbell squats are the greatest exercise ever followed by deadlifts and then pull ups in my opinion. Strict barbell shoulder press strong 4th.

What’s the maximum weight you can do pull-ups with? Even if using the ego lifting style
Bro how may pullups should we do everyday ,if we are doin push n pull at the same day

You shouldn't do pullups every day, or you risk overtraining and injuries. Three times a week is plenty.

Got a question, how did u initially get up to the pull up bar with weight?
Start with a low weight like 5 or 10 kg and do negative reps rest 1 minutes and repeat a few times like 5 sets it doesn't matter even if you do 1 or 2 reps ......after 1-2 weeks the body will get used with the weight and try do do normal reps

Do some resistance band rotator cuff exercises
@rampagesmackssons508 thanks for reaching out, depending on the gravity of the situation I'll definitely consider it!
Any recommendations?

Chin-ups in my opinion are superior to pull-ups because they protect your shoulders.
Bro why does it look like he's pushing his body towards the bar at the top. Is that a an addition to the skill?

Easiest way is to loose weight
ok then, I ask you this, should you start with asidted HSPU's or pull-ups? Given that you want an equal push pull split 🤔

I think you’re at least on trt dose because it’s very clear how your voice has gotten much deeper over the last few years
He just reached puberty?
If I started with pull ups, my forearms would be trashed by the time the second exercise came along
As you do pullups over the first month your forearms will adapt rapidly
Let your forearms become massive by doing this and it won't ever be a problem again! Oh, and use chalk
Bro plz can you help me
