- Hey everyone! My goal today is to inspire girls and YOU to learn how to do a pull-up. I chat about my story, what got me started in calisthenics as a girl, why I decided to learn how to do a pull-up, along with the methods and techniques I used. You will see lots of pull-up progressions, pull-up stunts and more. I hope I can inspire more people to learn how to do a pull-up and how to get started in calisthenics!

It's important to say that while negatives are a good starting point for some people who can't do a pull-up, they are too advanced for others. For instance my girlfriend - she had a very weak upper body when we started training together, and when she tried doing negatives she just came flying down uncontrollably. Besides not helping her in any way, it was actually dangerous since she could tear a tendon or ligament. Instead, she started with a combination of Australian pull-ups and leg-supported pull-ups. She just advanced to doing controlled negatives after 3 months of training, and hopefully to a pull-up in a couple months more!
yes, there are other ways to train your pull ups of course. If I was training with her I would have her do feet assisted negative pull ups as well as various upper body strengthening exercises like you mentioned. A pull day, or upper body strengthening day will always include more then one exercise in order to create a well rounded body :D I would also incorporate active hangs at the beginning (can be feet assisted if needed), limited ROM pull ups, and scapular pulls - lots you can do :D
@@Summerfunfitnessso what is the problem with band assisted pull ups?
@@joelcoll4034You have the most assistance and tension from the band at the bottom, so most people don't build the strength to actually start doing pullups.
@@joelcoll4034 I'm not speaking on behalf of @Summerfunfitness of course, but I know some folks don't like to use them as a training tool because there's concerns about the band creating a weird body trajectory during the pull-up, or that the person won't learn how to use body tension correctly, both of which could affect pull-up skills and bar-based skills later. But just like all training tools and methods, diff things work for diff folks!
@@joelcoll4034they make the rep the easiest at the bottom, which is where the muscle is the most stretched. Apparently research has shown that the most stretched position of a movement is really important for strength and especially muscle growth. Bands always make that position the easiest, which is always sort of a point against them.
I remember I saw a woman attempt to do pull ups without the support bar and she struggled to do 2. But I have so much respect for her for trying. So this is insanely impressive!
But she did 2 !
If she can do 2 then she did unlock this skill just a matter of time. 2 is very good number when starting to train pulls up. Many bodybuilders can do anyone.
Im a skinny dude. Took me months doing 1 lol.
@@johnbeans2000 Yea not easy, I worked my way up I noticed one tall dude could do around 3 to 5.
i think the same thing when i watch men struggle at literally everything. y’all are so cute when u try and act tough
you make understanding things so simple and realistic, keep it up on the videos!
Your dedication and results are inspiring. I can't believe your aunt responded the way she did and she was into fitness. Keep going.....and inspire...
She’s better than all the men in my gym at pull ups my GOD
hahah Thank you :D
You sound anxious indeed.
@@juliocesarsalazargarcia6872 Just here doing my best, Im not a professional, just trying to inspire and share info the best way I can :D
@@Summerfunfitness In my previous comment I was not talking about you, I was talking about the person called Social Anxiety club. About you I would say that you are doing a very good job with your trainning and is fine that you are sharing it because that will inspire other people to do better than their own previous selves, that includes me.
She is good,but don't be a simp my brother.
Her form is impeccable!!! Keep it up girl!
This is such a great video that needs more likes. I started my pull-up journey about 3 weeks ago and am already doing the negatives. She is right about not letting your weight be a reason to not do pull-ups. Thank you for sharing your tips!
Wow. This is so inspiring girl. Gonna start learning myself!! Please keep making videos!
You're absolutely incredible! I have fallen in love with your channel, and spreading the love
I love how your body looks!!! So strong and defined. I hope one day to achieve that. Although I am probably 20 years older than you, I hope there is a chance for me. You have inspired me and my kids to do calisthenics. Thank you very much!!!
Yes Summer! Nailed it👌🏾 fantastic!
Massive respect to you, and incredible feat. I can't do what you do, but I do basic calisthenics and know the time and dedication it takes, to get where you are hence my utmost respect to you. Keep it up.
You are so good with your advice and your own performance is so motivating. You should have heaps more subscribers. You are an undiscovered gem Summer!
You are amazing! Thank you for your inspiration and motivation.
A joy to watch you move. You inspire me!
Awesome! Keep up your dedication and videos.
great video and even better story! I'm stoked to get better at my pull ups now!
Just found your channel a day ago! Your strength is goals!
Yay this was all the motivation i needed. Your body is AWESOME 😍
I am getting so much motivation while watching you and you are my Inspiration
Wow!! Thank you, you are amazing and inspiring!
That was just the motivation I needed ! Thank you so much
This is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this dope perspective. ❤️
Very inspirational indeed..! Makes me realise how much I'm craving for strong female role models. We need more of this... Congrats!
Such good info with such great b roll. Keep at it.
Love this! Currently trying to make my first pull up. Thank you for the video
Now that is what I would call an inspirational video. Congrats!
I’m impressed. I am more motivated now to work on my pull-ups. I joined CrossFit so we do work on them, but doing them daily and doing negatives sounds a great idea!
Thank you for sharing your story! ❤
Such a good video sis! I remember when our auntie told you it was not possible !! Good thing you thought otherwise
Phenomenal and thank you for the advice! Great job
Ah, your story is an inspiration. Glad you defied the lies your aunt believed. Installing a pull-up bar in my apartment and getting to work in February!
Absolutely a fan of negatives...so great to hear you sharing that is part of your strength training.
Thank you! Very helpful advices that actually work!
One of the best pull up tip videos I've seen! So much solid advice! Excellent!👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the tips. That's an inspiring story.
This is a awesome video! Great work!
This video is awesome Summer! I can do one half ass pull up these days but have wanted to build strength and do more. I'm defs gonna work on those negatives and holds. Thanks for tips 🙌
Incredible.
Thank you for the inspiration 💪
WOW! Absolutely impressed!
I just found out there are removable pull-up bars that you can install in a door frame and remove when you want and I'm super excited to get one, this video was informative and got me even more inspired to start training pull-ups, thank you!
you got a real strength in you 👏👏
Thank you for the video! You are a real inspiration for other girls like me who want to learn to do pull-ups.
What a great video! I'm trying to get to my first pull-up now. Making progress! Thank you for the inspiration. :)
You got this!
You prolly dont care but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can stream all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend lately :)
@Jason Nixon Yup, I've been using Instaflixxer for since december myself :)
I do 10 pullups and I dont even train that much at all.
@@Summerfunfitness much respect fam, you are a beast!
Straight up amazing! I'll let you know when I catch up to you from Halifax.
Thanks for this video! It inspired me last year. I was 46 years old. I was in physical therapy for a knee injury, cartilage damage, so I got a pullup bar with elastics for my knee exercises, and I figured I might as well try pull-ups. Started at 0. Tried them once in the morning, and once at night without fail. After one week, I could do 1. And then I increased by an average of one pullup every week, until I reached 9, and that seemed to be my natural limit. Have not been able to do more than 9. After a while, I stopped doing them every day. But the pull-ups were the fun part of my physical therapy, so they helped me with motivation to go to the bar and keep up with the knee exercises. Thanks!
Pull up is quite hard exercise, so it is reasonable to do it every other day.
This is an amazing accomplishment. We are the same age. I was doing pull-ups in grade school but I played sports with the men and was far better than most of them (according to them!). I’m still underestimated all the time. My next goal is to return to pull-ups (can still do it, but it’s haaard lol) and add handstands. My lower half is elite (I’m a dancer/entertainer) my core is solid and improving, but zero strength up top these days.
Negatives are great advice for sure. It's help me to gain strength on many strength lifts for sure. Thanks for sharing!
Your Amazing, thank you for the video, as a man you inspire me!! Keep it up and never stop.
Very cool story on the more artistic appeal of pullups and how it drove you to such a degree of mastery. Once I get better at them, I'd definitely love to have that kind of body control.
Very encouraging and inspirational
Thanks for sharing! Great vid
Thank you for sharing your story and showing the world that a girl can do pull ups or anything else she sets her mind to do! Today is day 1 of my challenge/journey of being able to do one good pull up. Not sure how long it will take but I am aiming for 60 days, hopefully I'll be able to do it by end of July.
Would you mind giving an update?
Awesome. I only started with pull ups 4 mos. ago. I did 3 mos. of active hanging and negatives just for my first rep. 😁
I'm certainly impressed. GO GIRL!
She never ceases to amaze me! I've said it before, will say it again... Respect!!!
🤩 What grace, what strength, what beauty of gesture executed to perfection!
Damn girl u strong as hell good shit and nice video!
I dont know why you have 597 subs you deserve more maybe 1 milloin sub. Like you are a beast. Just keep it up one im sure you would be succssfull😉👍💯
Wow.... i digs your commitment and decication to it. just amazing.....
I have been stuck on 5 pull ups in one go since 2016. 😂 So it's so motivating to see that you went from 0 to the most pull ups I have ever seen. Big ups
Wow! Outstanding!
This is amazing advice. It's very similar to what I did to go from 0 to 10 pulls in year. Negatives as so useful and doing them after you fail a set of pull up as a drop set is a great tool too. Weighted pull ups are also great for further progression once you are already getting 10 plus pull ups.
omg I love your voice and I love this video !!!
Thank you for your encouragement. Basically, my takeaway is it takes time and practice, but it will come.
Why did that lady think that girls can’t do pull ups? If anything calisthenics is more accessible to everyone because you are lifting your own body weight. So the person could be 4 foot 6 and weigh very little and they should still be able to do pull ups. Our bodies are made to be able to pull ourselves up.
You would be surprised, most guy and girls can do pullups from like 3-14, but after that a combination of weight gain and society aesthetic makes its so that women want a certain shape... Thus a lot of them they stop training arm and backs in any kind of way and lose the ability to do 1 pull up, even if they weight less, and I'm not even talking about the women who weight more than me... & I'm 200 lbs of muscle.
It is harder for most women to do pull ups. We just have to work harder. Most have to train for a while to get their first, while my husband can take an entire year off working out at all and still do 10+ and a muscle up.
If your weigh less this means not automatically you can do pull ups. Woman have more musclemass/weight in their lower body and less in their upper body. This means woman have to work harder then men, to be able to do pull ups. They also have to deal with a higher b.f.p. then men. With a low b.f.p. and proper upperbody training programm it is possible for woman to do pull ups
My ex wife could turn out 15 -20 pull ups whenever she felt like it. The last time I remember seeing her do it, she was thirty one years old. But, she has been an athlete her whole life. Last time I saw her, a month ago, she told me she was running half marathons every other weekend (64 years old now).
Because like 99% of women can't do one?...
Wow! You are awesome! Liked and subscribed.
Man's gone to heaven at 1:23
Pretty incredible strength ya got there, nicely done.
I KNEW you were a fellow pole dancer. 😂 I haven’t even trained to do pull ups and I just tried today for the first time in almost a year and I could do 8 (I probably could have pushed myself to do a few more). Last summer I was only able to do 3 or 4 with a struggle and I’ve been mostly doing pole with a gym session at least once a week. It gives you so much upper body strength alone lol.
I'm so inspired!
Great tips.
I learned something new. The pauses, thanks!
Thank you :D
This helped a bunch! I’ll skip the band and stay focused on negatives and give myself at least 3 months of consistency and see what magic can happen!
Inspiring you deserve more subs
This is brilliant. I'm male and when I got my pullup bar I discovered I could do 4 in a row - and then more throughout the day, and then my arms were useless for a week :-P I hope to be able to work up to things like what you are doing some day.
So inspiring!!!!
Thank you very much, great motivation!
Monster, that's so nice to see a girl doing that. Mind opener.
Just found your videos on calisthenics and pull ups. Thank you for the advice and the included timeline it took you. I had a tendency to give up too easily because of my body weight thinking that it’s a no go, even though I can do dips. I don’t mind doing curls and incline rows but I wanted to get to the pull up due to its compound movement for the biceps and upper back. Plus you can do it anywhere you can find something to pull up on.
Congrats on achieving more strength and overall physical greatness Summer. 👏😎
You are my idol. I train to do one pull up. What I see from your progress is totally amazing. keep doing this
You can do it!
Great video! Great information. Great pace too. I would really love to hear what your aunt said to you after you started rocking the pull ups.
Great video....awesome methods....
Definitely gonna' try incorporating some of that "grease the groove" method into my efforts to get a one arm pullup
The beginning of this video was crazy. The whole video was amazing
the first scene is unbelievable! Well a few minutes later i must admit that your whole video is full of amazing performances i have never seen by a women. You are high above the average top fitness girls!
Impressive! Not just the strength and flexibility. It's about the way your brain is wired and how you reached and exceeded your goals! That's even more impressive to me!
That one hand hang on the boat is astonishing!
Omg you are very strong nice progress 👏
Thanks a lot, great video!
I want to learn to do a pullup this spring or summer and I've been using the pullup machine. I do some higher rep sets and some lower rep sets. It works pretty well and I recommend it.
If I don't have that, I just prop my legs up on something and do pull ups that way. I might drop a leg for more weight.
I think pullups with a resistance band are okay, but it is harder to get the full range of motion. They might be good for pullup holds.
I feel stronger and I think I'm progressing, but I just started 2 weeks ago. Your video has a bunch of great ideas for what I could do past pullups (general calisthenics).
Over the summer, I like to use the tree in my front yard and I do slow descents.
Very impressive strength and control...aesthetically pleasing.
after watched these video now i understand why you are so good at handstand push up and muscle-up 👏👍💪
Amazing!!
Very impressive work.
That is one hell of a strong lady, and she is absolutely right.
I love pullups. When I was younger I did lots of pull ups and push-ups I was a boxer and this was part of our workout. I've always loved pull-ups and when I stick to them and I maintain my discipline my body always looks better and feels better. Now I am 56 I just recently started back doing pull-ups right now I can do about eight good pull-ups but I'm going to work my way back up. My shoulders back and neck always feel better when I'm doing pull-ups and I'm doing a traditional calisthenic workout where I'm super setting push-ups and pull ups over 10 sets of short sets. You are very impressive with all the things that you can do. Keep it up 👍 take care
seriously you are the best women athlete ,i ever seen. obviously i never saw an women athlete in my life ,because i am from india . in india girls are not alloweded to gym or play sports .now i can do 5 pull ups and i am daily doing 50 pull ups to increase my rep count .keep rocking sis i am inspired by you
Impressive strength - man or woman - thanks for sharing your tips - I will incorporate them into my pull up journey
Negatives are sort of the secret to bodyweight training along with other clever progressions.
Like a lot of things if you break it down into steps or stages it makes it possible to do things that at first seem impossible.
Once you figure out, learn or discover the steps it seems obvious to you but it's not at all obvious at the start.
Also nice origin story.
you are very strong, you make the movement look trivial
