@everything1k217 Depends on your goals. If your goal is building muscle then I would do 2 sessions of back per week. If your goals are strength then I would start adding more weight to challenge you at a lower rep range. If your goal is just more reps, then I would probably add a weight that challenges you around the medium rep range (around 10-20 reps) and try 2 sets of back a week and see how that works for you

@hardtekkmix Thanks bro!

@@hyperelectron-tg5cz Funny cuz im doing software engineering right now, lol

@ same eyes

@asdfqwerty1100 Thanks man!

@MUFC-ey7lq I would say to not go all out on your first set. Also allow yourself adequate rest time between sets. A minute or two should be enough time

@santoryu3627 I would recommend once you can do 15

@bo49685 Ya, because as lactic acid builds up in your muscles and you excerpt more and more energy your form will degrade, but if you still have the strength to pull up it still counts, even if it's not perfect. If I could do 30 perfect pull-ups, then I could probably do 40 pull-ups total, but my form starts to get worse around 15-20

@@AndrewAuroraAthletics I understand about lactic acid, but that wasn’t the case. If it was, every exercise you would do with weights or body weight would have you develop poor form. We will just have to agree to disagree on this.

@bo49685 When you do pull ups, do you have perfect range of motion up until you no longer have the strength to perform a pull up, or do you gradually start to pull a little lower every time as you get more and more tired, and before you know longer have the strength? I would say that anyone i've ever known starts to see a gradual decline as they get more and more tired and fatigued. However, my form was still good, but I was not able to pull as high by rep 30 as I could on rep 1. Is that 30 "perfect" pull ups? No, especially not by gymnast standards, but it was still 30 pull ups with good form, just not complete range of motion

@TheXandemic Keep grinding bro 😎

@muhammadabduh3322 Calf raises on an elevated surface so you get a full extension on your calves. Do them slow and controlled

@@crimpcutie Great job!

@@godziyt6285 Great idea. I'll do a poll post and see what everyone wants!

I was considering doing a video on my favorite foods for building muscle. There isn't really a "best foods" for bulking and cutting, because that really all comes down to having the right amount of protein and calories for promoting muscle growth and burning fat, but I could do a video on nutrition. My next video is going to go over how skinny guys can build muscle, which covers some nutrition tips

Thank you! So happy I could help!

@slydog7131 To finish this video I had to do over 100 pull ups, so I was pretty exhausted in many of these clips, but there is one clip in here where I started fresh and my chin was clearly over the bar starting out, and my range of motion decreased as I got closer to 30, but that doesn't mean those reps don't count

@@AndrewAuroraAthletics Well, no. if the chin does not reach above the bar, the rep does NOT count. It's really as simple as that. Great video nonetheless.

@johanwendesten7334 It's a matter of perspective. If you were training for hypertrophy then you wouldn't stop when you couldn't get your chin over the bar, you would stop when you couldn't pull yourself up anymore. So from that perspective then those reps WOULD count. However, if I was being judged strictly on form and form alone then they would not count because they weren't quote "full range of motion/perfect form"

@truedaito9420 Someone sounds upset. Just because YOU can't do 30 pull ups doesn't mean it can't be done. My range of motion in this video was not perfect, but I also did over 100 pull ups to record this video, so I was pretty wore out in a lot of these clips. However, just because the form isn't perfect doesn't mean the pull ups don't count. The video wasn't titled "how to do 30 perfect form pull ups in a row". Your form/range of motion is going to gradually degrade as you get more tired, but that doesn't mean those reps don't count. If I could do 30 perfect form pull ups then I would probably be able to do around 40 pull ups with a little bit shorter range of motion. But since you are clearly the expert, how about you record your own video and link it here to help everyone out? I'm sure we would all love to learn and improve our pull up game

@zamasuml9596 Lol well most of those are shorts, so don't feel too bad haha

@@MaxtonPlummer That's a wide range. Sometimes you can do 9, and sometimes you can do 17?

@@AndrewAuroraAthletics yes usually it will depend on if my arms are hurting from the day before

@@Dima98rus_ Of course!

@PrimaryLateralSclerosis Lol I didn't think I had an accent, at least not a southern one. I was born in Alaska and grew up in South dakota, so i'm a northerner lol. And I would recommend using bands to assist with your pull ups and doing jumping pull ups and other progressions. I actually have a whole video just on that topic here on my channel. You should check it out!

@@AndrewAuroraAthletics So I was correct! You have a mild southern accent which is why I suspected that you weren’t originally from Tennessee. And thanks for the advice!

what negative comments? oh, you mean the constructive criticism? what's up is that it's true

@sh4nkzz497 50kg is crazy! Good job! To get to 30 reps I would drop some of that weight and aim to do more pull ups since you are only getting 4 reps at 50kg

@@AndrewAuroraAthletics oke, thx a lot. 😇🙏

He is doing full ROM, not full lockout. The reason is he wants to keep the muscle tension at all times, there's no benefit with the bottom stretch if you want to do more pullups. In fact, if you ever see people doing really a lot of pullups they won't do lockout at the bottom, as it reduces your momentum, hence costs you more energy. Remember, I'm talking about certain conditions (like in this video), when you want to hit a certain (high) number in pullups. If you excercise for it, you can do it as you please, I'm just saying what's most efficient to do high number sets.

​@@sLim88CPCIn calisthenics, these pull-ups do not count as reps. You have to lock out.

​@@sLim88CPC Non-sense. A rep is by definition from start to end of a movement, so you have to get back to your starting position i.e straight arms. There's no shortcut to save energy or whatever, these don't count as reps that's simple. Always go full ROM period.

@@sLim88CPCthis is a lie. It has been proven with basically every single muscle in your body that the stretch is the most important part of an exercise. When you lock out your arms at the end you’re fully extending your lats and other back muscles, therefore, stimulating more growth. More size doesn’t always mean more strength, however, they are certainly correlated and if you train right you will develop strength, endurance and size all together.

@@amazingman7861 How much? Could just be from tension.

@@AndrewAuroraAthletics i would say a bit not like i am losing control of the movement but its a swinging left and right towards the end of my set probably just have to get stronger and it will go away

@@amazingman7861 Perhaps that's all it is. I haven't experienced that before
