1, Frogstands, bridges, handstands. 2, when start training pullups, don't do full range of motion. Pulse at bottom and top. 3, be balanced, strength and leanness 4, enjoy your body, use all the time 5, use variety of angles
Progressive Load works: Get a set of exercise rubber bands. Use them to assist a full ranged pull up. Train with the bands 3 times a week. Move to lighter bands as you get stronger. Eventually you wont need the bands.
Your top-level explanation regarding mobility/range of motion and mechanics was excellent. I always appreciate when someone can break down a scenario, to where improvements can be made.
LISTEN TO ME!!!! im 48. 9 months ago I started working out at 194 pounds now 172. I couldn't do 1 pull up. I used a chair and my legs as a spotter. Did sets of 10 perfect form with legs. I would fail at 6 or 7 then do 3 more. Repeated this process till I could do 1 without good form then to 10 with chair. Always to 10 always fail at 7 or 8. Im now upto 9 slow long extended perfect pull ups and one with questionable form doing multiple sets of different grips
This is great pro advice. I love this. When I lived in a Tibetan monastery I had a secret master with whom I trained secretly in calisthenics, running and the mind. This guy was way more realised than the lama. He taught me things based on The Inner Athlete by Dan Millman, but even beyond. This man takes me back to those days 25 years ago which prepared me for UK Special Forces Selection. It all starts within and extends out beyond the body mind. Now, no within, no without! Fascinating journey I see this man is also on. Great work!
I used to be able to do one arm pull ups. Now I can’t do one normal one. My rotator cuff has seen to that. Physio didn’t help, so now I’m training on rings to try and work round it. Every muscle in my arms, back, chest, abdominals and everywhere else ache, so I must not have been using them properly for years. I will get there.
my left leg got taken out last Thursday with Sciatic nerve pinched hip. Just hanging off the chin up bar for as long as i could has helped. Lots of stretching. Dr. appointment today to see what is what!
You can buy portable electric stimulus device that may help you with pain. Swimming, acupuncture, chiropractor, Chinese massage helped relieved 90 % ofmy sciatica
@@fazole Thanks for the tips. Its slowly coming good, pain levels down and limited to hip bone, upper butt cheek and behind my shin now. Pretty fit for 55, surprised how quick this thing took me down!
My golfers elbow is limiting. My muscles are stronger than my tendons. I have the physical strength but my tendons, because of the pain, tells my muscles no.
I remember i kept on pulsing for days, could not do one pull up. Then one day I felt I could do it jumped and pull myself up and I could all of sudden do pull ups. The muscles and brain learn and connect takes upto 4 weeks.
Wow, I was doing those pulsing moves at the top or even in the middle of movement before taking advice from anyone, together with slow and extremly slow repetitions. I was experimenting and simply felt that it works for me. Cool ❤ Pull ups were never my strong point, and it's about time to change it 😎
I can do 8 full pull ups at 130 kg bodyweight with messed up shoulder. Been weightlifting and bodybuilding my whole life. Easy way to do them is to do pull workouts, like pulling heavy dumbells to your waist.(yes an isolating exercise can make your lats really strong) You will increase your pull up numbers in no time. Also working on your grip helps.(also an isolating exercise). Heavy expanders help enormously(captain of crush 1 or 1,5 for 20 reps, 2 for 10 reps ) Never did holistic approaches and Teta brain waves, dunno what that is.
Don't know what the holistic method is, but he sure did say it allot. Good to know that the bent over rows aren't waisted, Guess the video could have been desilted down to use the tops off your feet instead of bands for support, and doing pulses at different stages off the pull up .
I’m 250lbs never been this big and I’ve been doin assisted banded pull ups for a few weeks now. I started with other progressions but nothing has resulted in a clean pull up. I haven’t been trying to do chin ups so what your saying is focus on chin ups instead. Sadly the bars at my gym aren’t straight bars they’re angled and have an awkward padding grip on them and the chin up bars are in a hammer grip position. When I was younger and smaller I could do chin ups with ease but that was on a straight bar. I have no idea what to do now after watching this video I just want to be able to pull myself up because I understand how beneficial it is. Gonna have to tear it all down and try to figure this out
hit up the lat pulldown machine for now until you lose enough weight (im assuming thats 250 lbs with some fat and not muscle, but im probably wrong). 250 lbs would be hard as hell to do a pullup unless you got a monster back. im a short boi at 5'6" 169cm and 220 lbs and right now i cant even do a single pullup, but when i was younger i could do at least 4 at a body weight of 190 and no consistent exercise routine.
No hanging for the past year, some health problems, so last night did the hanging portion of pulse pull-ups (weak grip), but the bent arm pulsing at the top was impossible. I was 193 pounds last night, so heavy for 5'10" tall, so need to regain grip strength with hanging. I also did maybe 180 count hanging a year ago, 3 minutes,...last night 16 count hang at the end. I also did 4 sets of 10 reps, on a low bar, of body-assisted pull-ups. My left biceps very sore today. Any tips for getting the top pulsing pull-up?
Sounds Great. So I'm moving to Hollywood and want to establish myself as the Next 70 Year Old Action Star. Your program sounds like just what I need! How much will it cost for you to get me to my Dream? Thanks so much for your inspiration!
Glad I found this, and it makes sense. I do a mixture of body weight and dumbbell exercises at home, but the main one for me is cardio. Over the years I have seen countless muscle bound hulks in the gym who couldn't do a single pull up, and wouldn't even be able to run for a bus...... Pointless in my book.
@@oracla Agreed. I bought a home pull up bar in February this year, I started from doing negatives, into banded pull ups, and now from barely being able to do one, I can do 10 to 15 pull ups form dead hang. It definitely is a viable way to build strength.
@@gollumblindguardian Actually, they are. A pull-up is far more difficult for the vast majority of people. One could be doing several chin-ups and not being able to do one single pull-up. I've been there. But of course there are exceptions, maybe yours is one.
I was in the USMC from 1998 - 2005. The most pull ups I could do for a PFT was 16. However, thankfully, over the past 10 years I've done minimal weight training but stayed active....I'll be 52 in a few months and I tried some pull ups on my Perfect brand pull up bar, this past Saturday, and was easily able to crank out 4.
@@ivandragicevic6786 That's not bragging. That was actually about average. I knew Marines that could do 30 dead hang pull ups. I don't know what to tell you regarding my ability to still do 4, LOL. I was surprised myself. I hadn't done any pull ups in years. I just happened to try one for giggles when I was doing my daily 1 minute hang (that helps the back/spine). The only suggestion I can make is to continue to do pull ups (both pronated and supinated grips)as if they were one of your weightlifting exercises, as well to include other back exercises to your routine....lat pull downs, bent over rows, seated rows. All of those will make parts of your back stronger, and should make pull ups easier as well.
i know for a fact that i cant pull up because im weak and 70 lbs over recommended BMI. Im just doing lat pulldowns/assisted pull ups to build muscle for now, when its time to cut and my pulldown hits 160 for reps ill know i can do it. Calisthenics are kind of beyond my capabilities for right now lol.
You should learn to do pull-ups on your own. You don't have patience for seven minutes of instruction or are capable of fast forwarding, so you're not capable of doing much at all. Might as well get a 'Born to Lose' tattoo on your forehead.
The idea is to progress without injury building core strength I have spent about 8 weeks getting to a 30s frog stand, I’m onto the crow now but take 3x10s. I’m solid in a head stand now from tuck, handstands are difficult I’m only at the kick to hold and wall hold stage. This is complimented by planche leans supported tuck planche wall holds wall press ups pike press ups hollow hold and active hangs dips and a variety of other callisthenics I’m 55 my goal is to hold a free handstand for 30s before moving on to the planche, pull ups are going to be part of the journey. I’ve only been doing callisthenics for about 6 months training 2-3 times a week. Even if I don’t manage to get there the change in my physical conditioning, strength, endurance and overall well being is remarkable. My point is there are no short cuts you need whole body strength
Please, don't include bicep tendon tears in your videos. At least give a warning. That is stuff I really don't like to see. Thank you very much for the video.

Awesome! Same age, I just built a pullup bar 2 weeks ago! It’s fun!
Thanks for this. I hang on the bar everyday and pulse up. I’m 320 and have weight to lose before getting all the way up. I want to do one.

Wow. Fantastic advice. I have heard countless advice and this actually makes so much sense to me!
My golfers elbow is limiting. My muscles are stronger than my tendons. I have the physical strength but my tendons, because of the pain, tells my muscles no.
(Muscles stronger than tendons) Yeah, I know exactly what you mean, what is one supposed to do in a situation like this?
I have it too but it was never that painful I just didn't want to make it worse and now it is not completely gone but I have no issues
Thanks for another great video!
Reps and times for pulsing and hanging, how many set? It all lots great, but without this detail it does not help people!
I can do full range of motion but where I train most guys are in love with bands and didn´t know the lats problem.
Thanks for sharing.
I remember i kept on pulsing for days, could not do one pull up. Then one day I felt I could do it jumped and pull myself up and I could all of sudden do pull ups. The muscles and brain learn and connect takes upto 4 weeks.

right on

@@oraclatimeless bodyweight movements= example please?
20 chin ups to get you first pull up? Wtf man
I thought the same. Perhaps he just misspoke.
I mean, are we talking about wide grip pull-ups? If it’s just normal, shoulder width pull-ups, then I’d say ~5 chin-ups.
Just came to say the same thing. If you can do 20 chinups , you'll be flying thru at least 15 good form pullups. They are not THAT different.
@@gollumblindguardian yeah

I wouldn’t have have wasted my time responding to @ivandragicevic6786
Good presentation. Ive been frustrated attempting pull ups. Youve given me hope!
May i ask if you could do a workout split for breakers/powermovers? both for strength and rehab or seperately
practice beats theory
I love them but have to assist mine because of my VP Shunt
i know for a fact that i cant pull up because im weak and 70 lbs over recommended BMI. Im just doing lat pulldowns/assisted pull ups to build muscle for now, when its time to cut and my pulldown hits 160 for reps ill know i can do it. Calisthenics are kind of beyond my capabilities for right now lol.
How do you prevent elbow pain?
I got golfer's ellbow because of lifting, grappling etc. I got rid of it by buying a flexbar and using it frantically and i do a shitload of Mobility
hi man I can do frog stance for 60s.
how much to aim for bridge?
“Do this or never get pullups?”
What?
There is literally numbered steps
Timestamping pulses at 4:39 for myself so I can watch the technique a few times
Great
I'm 6'7 345 slim. Pull ups have never been easy. But I can do them. Certainly not able to do a lot things he doing.
20 chin ups to do your first pull up?...
bs but I don't think there is a perfect translation
20 chins to .....first muscle up....sounds about right. About where I was.
And i thought for pull ups i need to hang somewhere and pull me up 😅
Tried everything, but no improvements whatsoever. Year and half of consistent training and my pull up numbers are still the same
You should add timestamps because you talk a lot a the beginning
lots of talking
All spoken was important information. If you try to hurry through (anything), you will fail. Slow your roll.
