Pull Up Progression...Not TODAY Bear!!!

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...

[@antwannn111]

Free extremely useful content with an element of comedy & ends with a positive message... What more can a person ask for? Thanks again!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thanks so much Tony!

[@ethanchaney1139]

If your max is like really small like 1-5 at the very most on a good day. Go to failure. You can barely do any at all do a bunch of failure sets till' you're better.

[@nomadbound9610]

I got my pull up count up by drop setting to failure every morning.

[@cumshotoftheweek]

Unfortunately Bears can climb haha

[@oicurtis]

But they're terrible at pull ups!

[@ScarFace9797]

Not Grizzlies! They're shit climbers but like 11 feet tall standing up straight.

[@sameccles7337]

cumshotoftheweek yeah, it's black bears that are good at climbing not Grizzlies.

[@cumshotoftheweek]

Sam Eccles it's just a joke. But did he make a distinction between the subspecies of bears?

[@Watcher4187]

Yeah, but if you can get up the tree before the bear you have the high ground advantage. Rain down punches and kicks while it tries to climb the tree and once it falls off the tree you jump down and finish it off with a rear naked choke.

[@Ezio9791]

I remember before I started weightlifting I was a skinny 150 lbs teen at 6ft2, I could barely do 2 pullups. Shit was embarrasing.

[@TreyLefevre]

I want a social skills video.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

i need to do some research!

[@goldenknicks]

In the lean back position should your chest touch the bar or are you just getting as close to bar as you can?

[@jayc8442]

I would use bands over friends, they do their job they don't talk back they don't borrow money.... friends are overrated

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Hahaha you bands have never asked you for money!?! I need better bands...

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thank you so much for doing that man!

[@jayc8442]

Wreckoncile yea it's the best channel I have found on u tube and for all of us lone wolfs there's a lot of great tips

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thank you so much!

[@inigoxd]

u remind me of that one video that says you can stop in 5 stores or just one and she said “I don’t need friends, they disappoint me.”

[@stuvlog]

Haha that bear scene 😂😂😂

[@neinnein8141]

The bear face @ 00:41 :( "all around me are familiar faces, worn out places, worn out faces..."

[@axeleichelmann5584]

Brian Alsruhe how many times a week should we do the 5x5 and 8x3

[@Philo68]

You could barely touch the bar and still leave fingerprints on it. Just sayin'.

[@gysteel6650]

whens the building social skills video (how to make friends) video come out. I need friends lol

[@creatism]

GMan Steel I want to see this as well!!

[@neinnein8141]

i dont think he has this part figured out himself :')

[@joshjohnston7388]

GMan Steel hey man, I need a spot on my bench. boom. we're friends. can I work in on the squat rack? I'll reload your plates, bro. boom. friends.

[@creatism]

Josh, but it always comes out "GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE SQUAT RACK YOU QUARTER REPING IDIOT!!!!"

[@joshjohnston7388]

David Perlich haha well there's your problem.

[@altuber99_athlete]

*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)

[@yasinaouana4205]

Ma man

[@tmusic591]

How often per week the advanced version? He just mentions on OHP days.

[@destroyerthethird2391]

Thank you Bro ur a legend

[@JoeyJungleGym]

lol, that was the exact spot I paused video and scrolled down to comment lurk.( can't listen and read at same time)

[@Hope-Solos-Darkstar]

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".

[@joshjohnston7388]

kazmaier's Traps I'm thinking Brian is doing ok on the aesthetics front. You look at him and think, "that right there is a potentially dangerous dude."

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Yea man, I definitely don't want to look like a slob, but it definitely isn't my focus.

[@dennismicallef9350]

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!

[@whitelightinggaming3737]

I'm glad you made it out the other side. Just take it one day at a time and not rush it it'll all come back in due time

[@alyoshazeifman4657]

It's exactly what he said. Just started doing weighted pull ups, they make regular pull ups ez mode.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

100% agree!

[@dhruvshah4232]

why the fuck don't u have more subs!!??

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Hahah who knows man

[@dhruvshah4232]

Brian Alsruhe ayy you replied.Also ,i wanted to ask you, i have a skinny fat body type and i just keep gaining chest while arms are still small.Any advice?

[@wolfheartofphoenix]

Great content. He's just new to the youtube scene. I'm sure he'll get the subs he deserves over time.

[@chelseythomas388]

Not today Bear!! Holy crap my tummy hurts from laughing so hard. Ive done the slow lower ones for pull ups and I can now do 3! Awesome video man!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

That is so awesome Chelsey!

[@antoniovillegas4012]

so...when should we expect the how to make friends/social skills vídeo? 😁😁

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Once I learn how man!

[@austinmoses9816]

damn i feel dumb i was doin pull ups the wrong way no wonder my pull ups suck i wasnt doing the lean back or bracing my core who new how complicated the first thing u learn in gym class is so much more complicated than proceved. Also brian u have 32,700 freinds.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Hahaha this is very true my friend!

[@QQyoko]

I'm just a few weeks out from switching programs, and I was trying to figure out if I had room for pullups in it... the bear convinced me. But what if I get strong enough that I can just OHP a bear?

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

You would be world champion of the universe!

[@DANGERTASTIC]

Lmao when he started kicking his legs tryin to get the "Last pull-up".... earned a subscriber here

[@Keo0oo]

New lifter here (5 months in). I've always taken a deep breath with my chest and hold it in while tightening my core before a lift. After binge watching some of your videos (new here) and noticing you say "big belly breath" often, I did some research and wow, never really focused on my breathing technique till now. I'll try this on my next session but do you do the belly breath for everything as well? i.e Squats, Deadlifts, Bench, OHP and do you breath in through your mouth or nose? Last question, do you ALWAYS hold your breath until you complete the lift or certain lifts you slowly exhale out? Sorry for the 21 questions, had to ask lol. Sick channel by the way, definitely jumped in my top 3 quick. Hard to beat Jeff Cavalier though lol. I have a feeling you're going to blow up man. Consistency is key with social media. Once you take a break, people start to lose interest and fade away. I've seen it happen to many youtubers (MANY!). This channel is definitely going in my notification list though. Keep up the good work friend! EDIT: Actually just found the video about breathing after more binge watching lol.

[@joshjohnston7388]

Yeah brother, big belly breath for everything. Brace hard.

[@JorgeGonzalez-sx7fk]

Keo GG for research purposes the actual name of the breathing technique is the Valsalva Maneuver

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Hahah I was just about to point you there my friend! And thank you for the kind words!

[@kyrie4451]

Brian Alsruhe how do you maintain the same intensity of bracing for supersets of 15 reps?

[@mattdouglas8900]

I hope you know about Elliott Hulse!

[@universaltowing7918]

The bear 🐻 is something else 😂 thanx for the tips 💪🏻

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Hahah you got it!

[@MrFierceAzn]

00:35 dead. Good job 😂

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Hahah thanks man!

[@mk3less]

what if the bear has ninja training?

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

You are screwed...

[@michaelsherman3472]

Then it is no longer a bear, but a man - bear of sorts. It may also possess traits reminiscent of pigs.

[@yusufsatwilkar6775]

This guy's content is actually so good. Watching from the UK

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thanks so much man!

[@davehand6160]

this was an awesome video. I'm a bigger guy who has always struggled with pull ups. Saw the video, followed the instructions, busted out my first unassisted pull ups. So pumped. keep up the videos and work.

Thanks so much brother!

I have a foot in both camps. Appreciate this video!

[@blizzard3728]

"Remember the bear" *zooms in* "I'm watching you boy" 😂😂😂

[@MrExploRat]

And the Oscar goes to... :D really nice one with the bear! Great content as always.. I've just got one question on you.. I'm already kinda in the advanced part and I'm able to do about +60 kg (don't know your pound things) pull up. But one day I might did a wrong scapula initiation before the heavy pull or something ( Some people also told me that it could be overused shoulderblade fixators) ... bottom line is that I can't do pull ups without pain in my rear delts and I just want to ask you as an experienced lifter, if you've ever stumbled upon this issue and if you got any suggestions how to get back on a track again. It's already been around 2 months and I can't still do the part from the dead hang to the scapular engangement. After that there's kinda no problems with the movement. I can do rows, presses, etc.. but as far as I try to lift myself up, it starts to hurt.. Have a good day!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Yea man, are you rolling under your shoulder blades with a lacrosse ball? That has done wonders for me.

[@MrExploRat]

I was using foam roller for the back so far, but I'm gonna try it right now, thanks Brian.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Absoute man, i hope it helps!

[@MrExploRat]

Woah, already feeling a lot better! Where did you learn those kind of things, Hoghwarts? Seriously, thank you man!

[@EdenBarTal]

NOT TOTAY BEAR!!!!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Hahah Yes!

[@jorgesoto-ot8np]

Hahahah. The bear scene was funny.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thanks!

[@MasterOfSquirells]

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!

[@joaobomfim4278]

OMFG I just had to stop the video, put my like and write this comment at about 0:40... effing genius, Brian!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Hahahah thanks man!

[@Sama-th1bp]

lmao @ 4:35 What the heck was that

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Hahah you know you have seen people do that before!

[@humanflag1922]

This video inspired me to do a three minute pull up challenge. Do as many pull-ups as you can in three minutes resting as often as you need. Who's with me!?

[@humanflag1922]

48 in 3 minutes

[@MrCmon113]

Encourages you to rush. Fun challenge, but not good as regular exercise.

[@ivant4023]

Great vid as usual. Pull ups have always being important in my training. I'm currently doing a 5\3\1 based routine, in wich I row after bench sets and do chins between OHP, with the same reps as bench and OHP.

[@Gumpbubbaz88]

Ivan T that sounds interesting. I'll have to do more research about antagonist training!

[@ivant4023]

Kyle Vitale antagonistic training is awesome man

[@joshjohnston7388]

Kyle Vitale yeah man I've been training antagonist movements prior to my main lift for months and I'm on target to hit my former 1rm for five on everything. my shoulders are blowing up too. It's like when coach told you to do front-to-back supersets in school.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Yea man, it definitely ups your game a lot!

[@mattdouglas8900]

You should do pull before push, better for the joints

[@davidpasquin8846]

Haha the not today bear skit had me dying

[@imnotyourdoctor8134]

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

You could, but honestly I think 2 is just fine

[@mr.potatohead6138]

[@JaysonBucy]

Thank you Mark Bell and Super Training for introducing me to this channel.

[@tjsho417]

This is an awesome video, thanks Brian! The idea of greasing the groove definitely helps! Not just for pull ups but for everything! I like to practice movements... not just until I get right... but until it's impossible for me to get it wrong. This can be anything from clean + jerks to doing backflips haha!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I completely agree man!

[@MrCmon113]

Why does no one do this with other exercises then? Do you do a single biceps curl at 60% ORM every half hour? After a couple of weeks you know the movement perfectly anyways, so that's irrelevant.

[@Jeronimo_123]

This question might appear again, but what frequency do recommend for weighted a week-block schedule?

IM SO glad you just talked about the exponential cut in rep ability after failure!!! OMG I thought I was just a bag of suck at PUs!!!! yay!

[@ItzCollapsabLE]

Shout out to Bonney Lake, WA. Trying to hit 22 pull-ups max for Air Force Special Operations Command

[@XxnEr0xXxMaNexX]

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.

[@Derploop]

So, absolutely do not bend your legs. It's incorrect form. Keep your legs straight. Other than that, all's good here. Apparently I'm an advanced pull upper though?

[@apuuvah]

Dude...you're a beast. And give some solid advice. hen it comes to training back for width and thickness, there seems to be a wide consensus that the essential trinity is deadlift, barbell bent row and chin-ups / pull-ups. Only if you can't do enough chin-ups should you do pull-downs until you can. As Dorian Yates put it, barbell row is "bread and butter". Ronnie Coleman sure did some heavy ass barbell bent rows and T-bar rows. Most powerlifters seem to do them, and many do chins as well...like Matt Crock and Dan Green. Seems like only the giants don't do much chins...I don't see Eddie Hall doing chins for reps...

[@thecosmy1]

GOD DAMN MAN ! I am absolutely MIRIN your arms, ESPECIALLY forearms ! I am a armwrestler and I would kill for those forearms ! Do you account them to the rowing movements that you do almost daily ? I feel like my biggest weakness are my forearms even though I train them like a maniac.

[@ThaOneChrisJONES]

At 5'9/258 I definitely got a "girth issues" currently. Got stick with the lat pulldowns for now.

[@marcinpagorek3578]

I'm wondering about one thing: let's say you're doing 8x3 ramping, and let's say you're adding 2,5kg each set. That means that if you do 2,5kg on the first set, you need to be able to do 20kg on the last one. Now if you can do 20kg for 3 reps, what's the point of doing 2,5kg for 3 reps - it will be super easy. Do sets with such low intensity even make sense and do they matter for hypertrophy or strength?

[@ADRichards]

got my first pull up at 370lbs. will use the banded because my friends may not be able to assist lol

[@billblackeye]

What's up with Greek flag? Do you have any connection with Greece or something? As a Greek I really appreciate you showing of our flag ;)

[@joethesheep4675]

09:15 - How is this principle called? My english vocabulary is lackluster. Can anyone write it down for me please? ^^

[@iliftthingsupandputthemdow4364]

For most of my life I couldn't do a single pull up. I could lift heavy but not a pull up. Decided when I was 18 I wanted to join the army, didn't end up doing it mind you, but while preparing I lost 70lbs and began doing pull ups/chin ups. Today I personally think pull ups are better than any back excercise for lats. I don't really both with a lat pulldown because I never felt them like pull ups

[@deathbyfitness3917]

"For you who can do 20 or 30 pullups" looks at self in the mirror. I have been telling people to do weighted pull-ups for years but one thing I notice when it comes to back is how people hesitate on the back when it comes to weighted rows and lat pulldown. I'll grab a 100 and say we're going to do one-arm dumbbell rows for reps and they look at me like I am crazy. You can do it, stop hesitating, your back is a strong muscle. Brians got the right idea.

[@vintagedigital108]

Weighted pull ups with 100+ lbs? My 1rm is only about 50 lbs. Damn badass!

[@petartisma8609]

when should people start doing giant sets. For example I do full body 2 days rest fullbod you get it... if I do 5x5 on bench focusing on strength what set/rep range should my rows be? also for strength or pump style?

[@RidingJapan]

for weighted pull ups, can t i just get fatter again? invest in cheese burgers instead of some chain

[@demonicsyndrome]

How come I was never subscribed to your channel before ???????????

[@shannonheathcliffmul]

one thing i would saying about greasing the groove is... i just didn't do it, the lack of structure meant i just procrastinated and would miss doing them everyday. thing i found worked really well for me is just forcing myself to do one amrap every day. I've done like around 40 days straight and my max has gone from 5 up to 14 in that time. i don't know how effective this will be for others becouse when i started my back was already strong but my pull ups where weak. just another option i guess

[@formerevolutionist]

I like pull-ups, but I have a tendon problem with my right arm. Do you have any suggestions?

[@TheMasterMakarov]

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

[@vovestruman]

A power lifter that can do pull ups? blasphemy !!! My gym is basically a power lifting gym for the most part and I can't think of even 3 people there that can do pull ups. Or they say there just too heavy like everyone else lol.

[@slappygustaverson6507]

I've been waiting on that social skills video forever Brian. At this rate I'm going to die friendless and unloved. For fucks sake Brian, make the video.

[@YTho-ev1ej]

Holy shit this channel is awesome. You couldn't make something clearer in a video. Tip #4 before you got into the novice, intermediate and advanced stuff is going to save me time and make me gains. thank you

[@bhabadipTWO-ONE]

I am struggling in pullup for months. Just been able to do 2 rep. Weak back is the problem I think.

[@Smithy07sham]

Everytime I do pull ups I get a sharp pain in my right shoulder until I stop! Does anyone know why that is?

[@dragonchr15]

Hes so right about pullups to failures is no bueno. I can only do five and struggle.on the last one. After that, im dead and I can barely do 2....

[@44556613able]

very strong, Brian. also, what do you mean you dont have friends....the friend your spotting is all you need

[@TheKrawlz]

I really like (it's true, already clicked the button) your videos, excellent content. That bear scene, man. haha Oh! That brazilian flag give you extra points.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Hahah thanks so much man!

[@ekw555]

I swear I saw the recommendation somewhere that said NOT to squeeze the bar hard. and it was on a website explaining how to do (more) pull ups.

[@johntrains1317]

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

[@emZee1994]

I'm assuming alot of these progression methods can be used on dips and other bodyweight exercises. If so then great. If not we'll doesn't matter my dips are good my pulls up aren't lol

[@milenpenev1362]

Brian providing more useful info on pull ups than the calisthenic guys :)

[@JustinSmith-ph1le]

I've gotten better at pull-ups, from using the assisted machine

[@artas9371]

I can barelly do 3 pullups on a bar in on of those calisthnetic playground and I have also problem with a grip (it slips and palm hurts) but when I do pullups on a branch on my garden I can do 7 do you think the problem is in the bar ?

[@AlexiosKarakatsanis]

Hey, I have to ask, whats with the Greek and Brazilian flags? :)

[@tgatt5759]

Hey Brian, what kind of power racks do you purchase for your gym? Just curious

[@Drdoombrain]

He's right when you go to failiure and can only do half, I'm trying these tips now.

[@foxhoundr3364]

We call them "Heaves" in the Australian Army. Random shit of the day 😉🍻

[@TexicanMr]

I agree that pullups to failure are hard to recover from, but I've never understood why.

[@ricksanchez7787]

"Make your core a cylinder" Immediately pictures the crushed monster can. Totally fixed my bracing, thanks man.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Hahah that is great man!

[@trialsandtribulations7181]

I always considered leaning back for the pull-up to be cheating, but crossing the legs and leaning back really does recruit much more of the back. Outstanding tip!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thank you so much!

[@Koldfusion234]

Are you supposed to take the time to take off the weights/weight belt after completing the weighted pull-ups to then go do the other exercises? Doesn't this kinda fuck up the idea of the giant set, that being you shouldn't be resting between exercises?

[@LL-kp8jm]

5 dislikes?!?!? Haters gonna Hate! Always Sick content....keep em comin!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Hahah yea, that actually surprised me

[@adams3231]

Took my pull up from 5 body weight pull ups to a 2 plate weighted pull up in just 2 months, lets get this bread fellas

[@williamhendrix3253]

tips to avoid elbow pain from pull-ups? I can do the banded ones pretty easily but without a band they feel awful.

[@kerralmighty]

This is great Brian - my GF has been trying to accomplish a pull up for a while now and without me to spot she's been seeing very limited progress on the assistance machine. You've gained a new fan!

Awesome stuff Brian, you're an inspiration as an athlete and as a human being. I just watched your video about those guys with missing limbs doing deadlift pr's. Gave me a solid lesson in not being a p****y when I train. keep it up my man.
