Do Your Pull Ups!

[@ryandeffley7652]

Man...that is some of the strictest most textbook pullup form I've ever seen. Just proves that you don't need added weight to make them challenging.

[@frog6054]

Also, Mike Israetel (a famous fitness KZbinr that use scientific methods to his training) claimed that you will get a massive back if you can do sets of bodyweight sternum pull ups. Let's do pull ups till we fly with our lats, boys!!!

[@goodyeoman4534]

Yes, very impressive. But I read that for the greatest hypertrophic gains, you need to be explosive in the concentric phase? I think the slower pull ups are more geared towards strength. But there is crossover between the two, so I'm not sure how much it matters which way you do them if at an intermediate level.

[@ryandeffley7652]

@@goodyeoman4534 - I think the main driving factors of hypertrophy are TUT and volume. I think that being explosive in the concentric is more geared towards strength with force = mass×acceleration.

Doing Kyle's style of pull ups, I remember I was hitting about 3 sets of 5 slow and solid range of motion. When I had attempted a max pull up test I had gotten 15. Frequently done pull ups absolutely turn you into a beast for even the most hardcore scenarios such as carrying 2 year olds and gentle things like knife fights.

You can start with the pullup bar. Begin each rep at the TOP...i.e. just hang for as long as you can. Takes time and practice but the more you do them the better you'll get at them. Don't be afraid to do them though. Even if you can do none right now keep trying to do them.

[@goodyeoman4534]

It took me a while to 'master' the pull up - resisting the urge to bounce, ensuring full lock out of elbows etc - but it was all worth it. I was a skinny ectomorph before; now I'm lean with respectable muscle mass. I can do 12 clean pull ups and maybe 15 as an all-out effort with imperfect technique.

[@Strangepete]

Just randomly wanted to reply because your comment could have been me saying that, same reps and same experience for me although I was not "skinny" or an ectomorph just fairly average and in decent shape but getting better now gradually hehe.

[@TheTreeOctopus]

If you want to build and help get higher reps, when you get tired and can't do any more try static holds at top and doing shortie pull ups - don't go all the way down and up - this is time under tension and will seriously help with endurance and mass!

When I was younger, I loved pull-ups cause they gave me that V-taper and muscular arms with awesome vascularity. Now 30yrs later I love them cause they keep my body from getting destroyed by being a desk jockey 40hrs a week. I put special emphasis on activating the scapula all throughout the movement, getting a total stretch at the bottom, start the ascent by squeezing the scapula and finishing that squeeze at the very top as if I'm trying to squeeze an orange between my shoulder blades. All in all, the benefits of pull-ups are solid in every aspect.

Well done, Pete!!

[@tinashe5822]

How did you do that man, i am struggling with my pull ups?

[@petejohnson7965]

@@tinashe5822 if you haven't already, the first step is setting healthy eating habits. I originally started by training 3 days a week and doing one push, pull and legs movement each session, doing 3 sets to failure / near failure. Once I could do 10 pull ups I put on a weight vest with 2kg in it and every time I hit 10 in a set I would add +2kg the next session. This was good at the start but once I got to +8kg I took a video of one of my sets and my form was just awful. Plus my lower back really hurt doing push ups with the weight vest on so I stopped using it. I then switched to training 4 days a week and alternating between body weight pull ups and horizontal rows every session. There's no real trick to it besides get your sets in every week and train to near failure every set. The reps that count the most are the ones closest to failure. At the end of the day only you know if you are truly pushing yourself to the limit in your workouts and if you're not you're only letting yourself down. It's hard at first for sure and it's embarrassing when you're almost throwing up in your mouth from doing 5-6 pull ups but you just need to get it done and then get it done the next set and the next set. Just remember the actual number doesn't matter, all that matters is that you are pushing yourself hard in your workout. Although you should record your number of reps in each set as it is a good way of seeing your progress and that will motivate you to keep going. The hardest part of all is being patient and sticking with the diet and training routine when you don't immediately see results. Trust that the results will come and keep pushing yourself forward. Good luck.

The pull-up is the most effective exercise for martial artists and fighters in general. Because What is a punch? No, it's not thrusting your fist in someone's face it's rotating your body in the opposite direction. The same is true for any other power strike. Jabs and push kicks are not power strikes they are more like supplemental moves. What is grappling ? It's all about manipulating your opponent's body by pulling their body towards you. Similarly, almost all combat moves involve some kind of pulling motion. So my fighter friends out there take your pullups seriously.

Pullups are very great. Even after you get to the mid 20s in pullups they are still great

[@Kboges]

Agreed!

[@zrecz7957]

@@Kboges I remember they were what got me a v taper back in 2019 and 2020 when I first started them. Idk how much mass you can build without weighted once you get to 20 though since then that's kinda high

Tips on making a pull up bar like this

[@skizzler1232]

I need to get a new pull up bar for my new apartment place since I can't use the one on a door frame

[@Kboges]

Good luck and enjoy the training when you get your new setup.

[@skizzler1232]

@@Kboges thank you, hopefully it'll be soon

[@rahulshendre7089]

Please make a video on routine/structure !

[@robbydimmitt4462]

if you did a video on Palm cooling, i think it would be neat!

100% my favourite pull-up variation is "pull up to the McDonald's drive thru" for my daily Big Mac and fries. 😤

[@Kboges]

AHAHAHAHA 😂 this was good lol. Thank you for the laugh, Attention 😂🙏

[@attentionlabel]

@@Kboges Thank you for your content bro, keep it coming, i've really enjoyed the "do your pushups / squats / pullups"! 😄

"So the ability to climb or reach up and pull yourself over something - whether it's for recreation, for your job or in an emergency [...]" You got me with this one xD props to your bone-dry recitation and humor

[@Strangepete]

I tend not to have to pull myself over anything recreationally or for my job, but hey, daily emergencies do occur, you know.... ;)

[@Kboges]

😂HAHA glad it resonated

[@tone3560]

Do you do pullups everyday with that same strict form and amount?

[@JRamalhete69]

Hi Kboges! Can you do a video on lombar health? Can the basics increase your lower back health? I think this is a very important theme nowadays since most us are seated for long hours during the day...

[@soloman8059]

After a certain point in training, I've found pull ups to be best performed as a sort of "daily routine", when you perform a set or two to the point of mild exhaustion. Even when in posession of significant strength, In my personal experience it's better to not perform classic pull ups before the harder variations within a limited timeframe, as those pull ups exhausted my energy somewhat, and, as a result, hindered my performance in strength movements. Once again that is my personal experience and overall pullups are great.

[@Kboges]

Excellent points, Sole Man.

[@goodyeoman4534]

I do them as my fist exercise. Like you say, they are exhausting. I do: pull ups, dips, bodyweight rows, weighted push ups.

[@piotrz6872]

Impressive back and overall strength.

[@Kboges]

Thank you!

[@andrewfoote8509]

Thank you, I’ve been waiting for this video. Great content as always and easy to comprehend. How can I train a strong core? I’m stuck

[@Kboges]

Thanks, Andrew. For a strong core, your basic pull ups and push ups will do a solid job. If you want more than what they can offer, hanging leg raises, L Sits, and plank variations are my favorites.

[@andrewfoote8509]

@@Kboges thanks Kyle, I appreciate it

[@excalibro8365]

I'll do it as soon as can do at least one 😅

[@anjalitiwari8187]

You should also make some videos from side ways so that the form is more visible 😊

[@hadleymanmusic]

I just ordered a trapese rings for a swingset. Had a fence pipe on a tree branch but it finally rotted grown into the pipe.

[@ColdAsHe11]

Love your pull up station! Did you build it yourself? Would you consider making a DIY video if so? 🙏

[@Kboges]

Thanks! Yeah its a custom one. I might make a video on it in the future... that's a great idea.

[@pras1106]

Hey! I asked for a "Do your pullups!" video in your last video and you made it! Thanks!! I saw your comment on Insta about how you're always in fear of losing your current body composition, which is just a few cheat meals away.. and I see you mentioned about refeed days there I'm doing a similar fat loss program where I eat clean for 6 days a week (and just 2 meals each day, IF style).. and then do a 36 hour fast on the 7th day.... the refeed day is the day after this fast.. My question: Do you use fasting? If so (and even if not), can u do a video on those concepts? (fasting, refeeds, low energy during diet days etc) Love and appreciate your work!

[@Kboges]

Hey Prananna! I do use fasting. I think it's a really useful tool for managing overall calorie intake and for me, it makes keeping good body composition pretty sustainable. If I consistently over indulge (like when I'm on vacation), I will usually get back into shape with more aggressive fasting protocols, like with a little shorter eating window. Overall, it is a great way to go for many people. It't not for everyone, but it can work well.

[@pras1106]

@@Kboges thanks! Please do a video on fasting Topics such as how you manage light headedness, how many hours you typically do.. 16, 18, 24, 36 etc?

[@mace4978]

I've been following your pull up mastery program for 6 weeks now and I've already seen some big improvements to my form. But this mastery you're demonstrating here is what I want to achieve. Also, out of curiosity, do you use chalk ? Anyways great video as always!

[@Kboges]

Thanks, Mace! Keep at it and it will pay off. Enjoy the process. Yeah I always use chalk.

[@mace4978]

@@Kboges It has already paid off! I've been following your approach to training since January and it's done wonders to my physique. I love your mentality and your approach to training. To see working out simply as hygiene and to actually do what your body is capable of, instead of trying to surpass your limits everytime has helped me clear my mind and stop overcomplicating what doesn't need to. So keep up the great work because it's really helping me and a ton of people around the world !

[@Kboges]

@@mace4978 Wow thank you for sharing! This is amazing. Much appreciated, my friend! 🙏

[@Yanivkahana]

Still can't do 1 pull up without kipping! I'm trying for years hahaha.. Awesome video.

[@Kboges]

Focus on assisted reps and rows. Just get stronger with those and the pull up will come.

[@Yanivkahana]

@@Kboges Thank you.. Will try to add more rows ✌️😎

[@alexchaney5582]

Probably due to our ape lineage, pullups feel like the most human exercise (along with walking/running of course). This one exercise improves so many abilities whether it be climbing, carrying, archery, swinging, digging, grappling, throwing etc. etc.

[@Kboges]

I totally agree! Excellent point!
