  • As promised, here is an entire video focused on the pull-up. It will help those of you who cannot do one pull-up, all the way to those who can do 30. I hope all of you can find it helpful and will laugh at the bear attacking me! Stay until the end for outtakes...

    *I. PULL-UP TIPS*
    *Tip #1* - Squeeze the bar as hard as possible (just like in the OHP, Farmer's Walk, Squat...)
    *Tip #2* - Breathe and brace like in the Deadlift/Squat. Perform as many pull-ups as possible with the first breathe you took; if you need more air, take it either at the top of the pull-up or in motion of the pull-up (NOT AT THE DEADHANG).
    *Tip #3* - Lean back, & open your hips by crossing your bent legs
    *Tip #4* - Do NOT go to failure/your Rep Max/Max Effort set
    *II. PULL-UP PROGRESSIONS*
    *For 0-3 rep pull-ers (novice)*
    a. Band-assisted _the way he suggests them_
    b. Partner-assisted
    c. _Jumping_ negatives
    d. Re-bound rep method (jump to the top, hold for 1 sec, drop yourself *somewhat controlled*, use the elastic energy to complete one full rep; in total it's 1 & 1/2 reps)
    e. (Do not use pull-up assisted machine)
    *For 3-10 rep pull-ers (intermediate)*
    a. GTG
    b. Weighted negative
    c. Weighted singles-triples
    d. Pyramid style ( _use at the end of DL and OHP day_ : 10 pull-ups, 10 decline/wall HS pushups, then 9/9, 8/8, 7/7... 1/1. Then, when it's easy, go _also_ the way up: 2/2, 3/3... 10/10),
    e. "Month Challenges" method (day 1: 1 rep, day 2: 2 reps... day 30: 30 reps),
    f. "Month Challenges x2" method (day 1: 2 reps, day 2: 4 reps... day 30: 60 reps).
    *For >10 rep pull-ers (advanced)*
    a. Weighted pull-ups on OHP day (week 1: 5 sets x 5 ramping, week 2: 6-8 sets x 3 ramping, week 3: bodyweight conditioning [use the pyramid style, this time: 20/20, 15/15, 10/10, 15/15, 20/20]. After week 1-3, repeat this cycle 2 more times; then test out)

    Great Video Brian!
    I was in chemo when this video came out...that cost me ~30lbs of muscle. It's taken a very long time to get some of my strength back. I used to hit 12-14 pull-ups back in 2016. My grip strength is still lacking due to some nerve damage from chemo, but I am progressing. I'm finally able to do a few pull-ups again, and figured I should relearn some cues to help.
    This video has it all!

    Dude your arms are sick. I know in one of your previous vids you stated you don't care about your physique. Steve Gentili said something that made sense to me " you only compete a few times a year the rest of the time you have to walk around in this body why not make it look as good as possible".

    @MasterOfSquirells 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Brian, weighted pull ups are probably my favourite exercise. After seeing that you do parallel grip rather than pronated I thought I would give is a try. My elbows haven't felt so good in years!! Also my setup for parallels was my farmers handles hung over the top of my squat rack...the fat handles made them horribly difficult...but today I was in a commercial gym for the first time in ages and of course the parallels were normal circumference handles. I nearly smashed my teeth on the first rep because I went so fast!!! Huge benefits from fat handle pull ups! Thanks!! Keep beasting it and inspiring others!

  • @ryans3628
    @ryans3628 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've been stuck forever on weighted pull ups with a 25 lb plate for around 6 reps. With a 45 I could get one, maybe two on a good day. I watched this video and started doing sets of 5 bodyweight pull ups 3 or 4 times throughout the day every day. Yesterday I hit the weighted pull ups again and was shocked to nail a set of 4 with the 45 lb plate. I did a second set and got 4. On my third set I got three good ones and one to about nose level before I gave out.
    Seriously, Brian, I cannot thank you enough for this. Following your advice for about a week helped me crush a plateau I've been stuck at for almost a year!

    I think you and Alan Thrall are the only channels that I listen to for training advice lol. Started to finally focus on pull-ups because of you. I used to hate pull-ups (mostly because I sucked at it...). Got a 45 lb strict pull-up today. Not much, but progressing alot because of the advice you give and actually love pull-ups now. All my big compound lifts have been increasing since listening to you. I'm glad your channel has been blowing up since Alan introduced you about half a year ago
    P.S. Please expand and make a NEVERsate gym in Southern California!

    @iwantlee9510 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have noticed that "priming" my muscles by doing a couple of heavy triples makes me a lot stronger when a ditch the weight for my bodyweight pull-ups. Today I hit a new pull-up rep PR, and I'm 100% sure I wouldn't have been able to do it if I hadn't done 3 ramping sets of weighted pull-ups before.
    Whenever I do weighted pull-ups first, I feel light as a feather and strong as a giant when I remove the weight. It's a great feeling! An amazing feeling actually!

    This is great! I'm a total pull up noob and I really want to incorporate them into my workout. I was *this* close to buying a couple of (alarmingly expensive) resistance bands to help me out. Luckily I found this video just in time! I'l definitely give your methods a shot!

    Yes, yes, yes. For those in the 1-3 range, negatives, negatives, negatives, and greasing the groove. Every day is pull up day.

    Great video!
    In other videos, Brian has mentioned Grenade balls (elitefts), towels, etc. Rogue has 3 and 5 inch spheres...
    Chalk up because they are slippery but great for a variation hold.

      Eliel Hinojosa I got a "ninja training rope" that is a line with towels, grenades, and some weird pyramid things hanging off it. I probably paid as much as you would for a set of those grenade grip things.

    • @OWPhD
      @OWPhD 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      right on man...whatever you can get your "hands" on will be of benefit. I happened to have climbing straps and a few extra climbing carabiners for the elitefts grenades...plus they were on sale and, as an added benefit they are made in the USA.

    • @joshjohnston7388
      @joshjohnston7388 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Eliel Hinojosa I was going to try and cast my own concrete grenades because I'm that kind of moron, but I saw that kit and just had to get it.

    Not sure if these were mentioned for the intermediates. As a method of progression you can also start each new cycle with a greater ROM. Cycle 1 reps to below the chin w no dead hang. Cycle 2 reps to below the chin w dead hang. Cycle 3 reps to thr sternum w dead hang etc

    Neutral grip -> chin ups -> "normal" grip -> wide grip -> wide false hook grip -> get to the top by flexing your lats like a bat and flap
    when you can do this add weight

  • @jimvee4528
    @jimvee4528 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is good stuff! I've been doing sets of 1 (maybe 1 and a half), because that's all I could do.. Tonight, I'm doing sets of 3 just by focusing on these tips. Sweet!

  • @joelbennett1987

    stopped the video at 3:30 to go test this out and got 5 Chin up! at bodyweight of 221 (weighed after ha!) I've been doing recline rows for months now and just did 5 chinups felt great. thank you so much for the video! now going to watch the rest of it

    1st saw you on Allan channel, then on ST..gonne though several of your old videos... I approve ... you convince me to try one of you program with giant sets...keep it up

    • @joshjohnston7388
      @joshjohnston7388 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This channel converted me to the giant set mentality. Six months training in that style, and I couldn't imagine going back to set/rest/set/rest/set/rest. My overall work capacity is through the roof and my numbers keep on creeping up. I get SO MUCH done in 90 minutes.

      currently doing the Juggernaut method and today was supposed to be HIT cardio...but instead i did burpees into pullups aligator walks,bear walks and toad jumps like i saw in one of your viedo...tied them all into 1 giant set...
      did about 5 or 6 of them idk..cause by the 4th on i was seing stars...absolutley killed me :) which is a good thing ?

  • @enricogarro5884
    @enricogarro5884 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video man! Another option is doing ladders. For example you do one rep, rest 10-20", do 2 reps, rest 10-20", do 3 reps and then you go back with the reps. This is one set. It helps me a lot for chin ups and dips maxes

    • @BrianAlsruheOfficial

    • @MrCmon113
      @MrCmon113 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Why would you do that over 2 or 3 RIR in every set?
      Do you train like that in any other movement?

    becoming good at pull-ups is all about effort and consistency. Really, there's nothing more to it. Everyone can get at least decent at pull-ups. When I first started doing any training of any sort I fucking sucked at pull-ups and it was a complete dread for me to do them. I couldn't do more than 3 to 5 at BEST with shoulder-width supinated grip at only 55kg bodyweight. Right now, on a good day I can bang out 30 or more pronated wide-grip pull ups and I weigh 75+ kg (a good 20 kilos heavier and reps have still increased dramatically). It's all about effort guys, but it doesn't happen instantly.

      Brian Alsruhe you're welcome! Brian, I was wondering, can you make a video about beginners and how to train for strongman in a commercial gym? only some suggestions..

    • @krakonoskraken8763
      @krakonoskraken8763 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Gustavo Gomes he does some about making your own equipment (easiest option - take a big stone, sand bag, some tires...and thats it)...and in the gym - farmers walk with dumbbells, circus dumbbell with normal dumbbell, atlas stone made of plates, push press...cmon man you can figure something out by yourself! :D

    • @krakonoskraken8763
      @krakonoskraken8763 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Gustavo Gomes and he also does video about exercises beneficial for strongman if you dont have any equipment and just go to gym

  • @matthewbrosnan2159
    @matthewbrosnan2159 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like going to failure on pull ups. I warm up with light rows and a set of 5 or so light weight pull ups then do my max for about 5. I think you're right regarding the exponential loss in strength so it's not ideal for maximizing work capacity but for strength its been giving me great results.
