I agree 100%. As a kid, I could never do a pullup. It was embarrassing. I am now 69 years old (!) and I have a goal of 12 pull-ups by my 70th birthday! Negatives are a huge part of my training. Thanks for the supportive video!
Thanks sir I was able to do chin ups till 5 but I can't do a single pull up after seeing this video I started doing negative pull ups now I can do till 5 pull ups easily thanks sir 😄
I was watching to find tips/advice on negative pull ups since I'm building/modifying a pull up bar workout program and I was doing exactly as you suggested by pairing negatives after regular pull ups
Excellent video! I just put up a pull up bar in my shed. I can do 1 or 2 pull ups but that's it. I'm a very active 64 year old man with a thin build. Just trying to get more strength. Thanks again.
Thx brother I tried negatives the first time and they are no joke you can really feel your back muscles working would u also suggest getting bands as well for getting your first pullup ?
I couldn’t do any pull-ups couldn’t even hold on I started doing Scalpula pushups and hanging and working out just THE SCALPULA AND NOW I CAN LITERALLY DO ISOMETIRC HOLDS FOR 20 secs I can do negatives for 20 seconds.
So there are a lot of great pull-up tutorials, this one included, but what they never tell you is how to apply it. For example, it's always, "do negatives" or "try a different progression" or "use bands" but there's never any workout attached to it, like ok, but how many reps should I do, how many sets, how many time per week etc. Would you have any advice for how to approach it?
Thank you. Part of the reason for that is because it's so specific to the individual - their training experience and strength levels. I posted this reply to another comment, maybe it can help. "Let's say your max is 5 pull-ups. I'd do something like 3-4 sets of 2-3 pull-ups with a good amount of rest in between. 2-3 minutes minimum going even up to 5 minutes. After that I'd consider a set or two of negatives if you're not completely exhausted. And if you're really trying to increase pull-ups, do them often. Like hang a pull-up bar near your bathroom or something and every time you go, just knock out a rep or two." The weaker you are, the more I would focus on doing negatives. And while you're in this negative stage, I would also focus on doing them more frequently (closer to daily rather than 1-2 times a week). So I'd do something like 3 sets of pull-up negatives with 2-3 reps in each set (as slow as possible) and do that many times a week. I hope that helps!
Yes, I would definitely focus on negative pull-ups as well as lateral pulldowns if you have the means to do it. Also, don't be too hard on yourself if your body weight is relatively high. If it is, losing some weight would go a LONG way. But if you're not overweight, just keep training and do negatives and lateral pulldowns.
@@rohimama3021 Yeah I know it probably isn't what you want to hear but any bodyweight movement is going to be much more difficult if you're overweight. Keep training, get your diet in check, and you'll get it!
Thank you! The pull-up bar in this video is from Rage Fitness: amzn.to/3HEYE8h But if you want something that mounts to your door, I have this one inside my house: amzn.to/3tMWdLl

A few options (assuming you're trying to do controlled negatives)... If you have a band, use a band with your negatives. If you have access to a gym, do other rowing movements to build up strength like seated rows, lateral pulldowns, etc. Be patient and keep doing them even though you're falling immediately.
Yes, I would recommend negatives and lateral pulldowns if you can’t do pull-ups yet. But the less experience you have training, any and all back exercises will be beneficial at this level.

That's awesome! I hope I'm as strong as you are when I'm that age!
How is your goal coming along? Calisthenics newbie here, your comment really inspired me 😊💗
Thanks sir I was able to do chin ups till 5 but I can't do a single pull up after seeing this video I started doing negative pull ups now I can do till 5 pull ups easily thanks sir 😄
Seriously!?! That is awesome to hear! Great work sir! And honestly thank you so much for leaving me this comment, it really means a lot!
If you remember how muc you took to reach 5 pull ups
About 4 or 5 days
@@deepu2423 how? How much sets and reps and how much per week?

You’re welcome and thank you for the kind words! Just keep grinding!
This is a very important video that more people need to see.
Thank you for the kind words!
Awesome never heard of using negatives to develop pull up strength. This is great
really nice video, I'mma drop the assisted pull ups!
Let me know how it goes!
Thx brother I tried negatives the first time and they are no joke you can really feel your back muscles working would u also suggest getting bands as well for getting your first pullup ?
I would prioritize any type of row and lateral pull downs before banded pull-ups.
Alright noted thx !

for how long did you do that? did you pause at the point of highest tension?

@Adam Morgan this is really helpful, thanks heaps
@@CinnabarCalisthenics Thank you very much for this straightforward explanation. Keep up the good work.
@@ozioz82 Thank you and you're welcome!
I can't do a single pull-up
Should I only do negative pullups to get my first pull-up?
Plz help i can't do it even after six months of gym 🙏
Yes, I would definitely focus on negative pull-ups as well as lateral pulldowns if you have the means to do it.
Also, don't be too hard on yourself if your body weight is relatively high. If it is, losing some weight would go a LONG way.

Hi ! What is the reference of your pull up bar ? Great vidéo btw
Thank you!
The pull-up bar in this video is from Rage Fitness: amzn.to/3HEYE8h
But if you want something that mounts to your door, I have this one inside my house: amzn.to/3tMWdLl
@@CinnabarCalisthenics Thank you so much !
How many reps of these should we do? And how many sets?
It really depends on how many pull-ups you can do right now.

If we are to do negatives only, how many reps and sets?
You should watch my latest video! I go over all that :)

I got you!

Should an absolute beginner to do negative ? Like I never workout in my life.....so still should I start with negative ? And only that
Yes, I would recommend negatives and lateral pulldowns if you can’t do pull-ups yet. But the less experience you have training, any and all back exercises will be beneficial at this level.
Can I do the same with chin ups ?
Yes.
If You have problems to do your first pull ups, loose Fat!
Yes, that is sometimes the biggest issue that needs to be addressed. I cover that in my latest video.
