DRASTICALLY Increase Your Weighted Pull Up

[@dannilovescats6474]

The way you explain things so simply has really helped me with understanding calisthenics

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

Thanks Danni!

[@timmins87]

The best thing about weighted pull ups is doing a bodyweight only set at the end. Feels like you're as light as a feather!

[@FishSticker]

That’s how I got my first muscle up, had 20 minutes with really heavy weight and then took them all off and went flying

[@renzochamorro1499]

Negative pull ups with weight. Good idea.

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

Cheers Renzo! 💪🏿

Real talk here only, Sam 👊🏿

[@guywhoasked903]

I forgot my humble beginnings and the importance of doing the negative pull-ups before I can actually do the normal pull-ups. Weighted negative pull ups make a lot of sense. Thanks! Hopefully I can get over my plateau of the past weeks now.

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

No worries, and yeah Sometimes the simplest solutions, are the hardest to remember! Weighed negatives are completely underrated!

I was just trying weighted negatives as a guess, glad to hear is useful

[@hussainmemz]

I did weighted chin ups for the first time ever today, and now you released this. How convenient 😂

I have my spies everywhere 😅 Also HUGE congratulations 🎉🎉

Great vid short and to the point👌🏿

Cheers Billy. Glad you liked it 👊🏿

[@cuddlebear7132]

I've been doing pull ups my whole lifting journey. When I was 15 (6'3, 75kg) I couldn't do any, now I'm 24 (6'3, 90kg) and have 35kg attached to me for a 3x5. Can't wait to be doing 50% body weight in a couple years.

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

35KG pull up is a SOLID pull up, and doing it for 3x5 is decent volume! you'll be at 50%bw in no time - keep pushing 💪🏿

Your videos are my inspiration

[@antiantifa1313]

I will try this if I stall again. Currently my pulling is the strongest its ever been. 90 kg bodyweight and can do sets of 10x20kg

[@lordofgermany]

great video brother!

Appreciate it! 👊🏿

Very well said. I swear if I gain 2-3 pounds I feel it on my pullups

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

It can be soo annoying but also encouraging to help ensure we keep good strength to weight discipline 💪🏿

[@honeybrew5063]

My Body is like "Doing Pullups in full heavy fire fighter gear? No Problem" "Doing a single Pullup with weight in the gym? No way man!!"

Haha! What you need to do, is tie the firefighter gear to a dip belt 😅

Weighted pull up negatives is geniusly simple 🔥

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

Cheers Malcolm 👊🏿

[@ShaiKappaElKappa]

Thanks for the video Andrew. Quick question when you talk about +10% weighted negatives, you mean the added weight, or the total weight? I've been kinda stuck at +20kg for the past 4 months so kinda looking for ways to improve

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

Sorry, yes that was unclear. So for example. if you can currently perform a 20KG 1RM pull Up, I would recommend starting with a 22KG Weighted pull up negative because you are stronger on the eccentric. Then as you get stronger, working with more weight. Let me know how it goes - hope you smash through your plateau!

[@Junaid-xd9sz]

I was stuck at +20kg for literally 9 months, tried everything negatives, static holds even hit arms / forearms but made no difference. What helped me break through the plateau was doing less i.e training 2x a week weighted pulls/ eating more protein daily and following Dominik Sky’s step loading method. (It’s known as the russian step loading method.) Can pull +40kg now I used my strongest grip (neutral) every Mon / Fri and on Wednesday I did pronated for volume but ensured I was not going to failure and bodyweight only. Hope this info helps keep pushing.

@@CaliToTheCrowd I'm working on my own weighted pullups

[@xxxguarnicion2.051]

Damn I'mma try it out

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

Let me know how it goes! 💪🏿

[@brucehelppie6119]

pullups are a big weakness for me. once i started attempting chest to bar pullups i realized that most people, myself included, can't really perform even 1 chest to bar version. even trying to hold a static of chest to bar is impossible at the moment. i have had golfer's elbow issues that impact my training. not complaining, just being realistic.

[@userunknown1578]

Chest to bar lat pulldowns with a pause at the chest really help with this... Same with chest to bar pike pull-ups.

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

Pull ups are far harder than people give credit for, so don't be disheartened, Bruce! 💪🏿 Besides, I've seen the work you've put in and I wouldn't be surprised if you could nail pull ups one day in the future 👊🏿🔥

[@brucehelppie6119]

@@CaliToTheCrowd thanks, andrew. i had built up to about 8-9 chin over the bar pullups that are nowhere near as hard as chest to bar, but i haven't been working on those lately either. good to you on the weighted reps!

[@grondebarbe3997]

Power pull up ? Get a powerful core, get great scapula mobility, train power+explosiveness and train on rings and not on a bar.

[@grondebarbe3997]

And full range of motion*. If you control your movement and warm up there is no risk of injury.

[@Athletic-and-Minimalist]

Hi Andrew, where do you integrate your weighted negatives, before or after your full weighted pull ups?

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

So as an example of a pull day that I'm doing at the moment Front lever attempts Front lever raise Weighted pull up Weighted pull up negative Rows Vlog coming soon 💪🏿 😉

[@Athletic-and-Minimalist]

@@CaliToTheCrowd looking forward to that vlog. And thanks for the reply 💪🏻

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

No worries 😁

[@ApoIlonian]

Does bodyfat affect our weighted pull ups sir?

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

It will and lowering our body fat will make it easier to perform weighted pull ups. That being said, it is important not to aggressively lower body fat too quickly as that will impact our ability to keep the muscle that underpins the whole movement

[@Frezzaroukos.]

You suggest to do first the +10%orm negative weighed pull ups and then do the weighted pull ups?

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

No, the other way around. So in an example training session, I'd do 4-5 sets of weighted pulls (about 3 reps) Then 3-4 sets of weighted negatives with a heavier weight 👊🏿

[@jatinshilen]

how do u manage CNS fatigue, like any tips on frequency of training heavy? I can also do 50% but going further has been leading me to various ups and downs in my performance

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

REALLY GOOD QUESTION! Tbh I used to have the same problem before I started periodising my training and adding 2 rest days a week rather than 1. For example I will do 6-8 weeks of hypertrophy (8-12 rep range, lower weights etc.) Then take a whole week off. 0 workouts. Nothing (I still hate these weeks). Then I'll do 8-10 weeks of heavy work (3-5 rep range. Big breaks). Weds and Sundays are my rest days, and ever since doing this, my progress has been way more predictable 💪🏿 I go through it all in detail here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2XTqqyAp8Zkf80 Hope this helps!

[@jatinshilen]

@@CaliToTheCrowd Wow thanks man! This seems to require a lot of patience, I will try though, if my current way of doing one light and one heavy day a week fails.

[@lmack6596]

I've just started exercising again after taking a week off and prioritising my sleep. I felt on fire today - so much more strength and energy!

[@stevensen6541]

At what number of pull ups should I start adding weight? I am around 7 right now.

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

Personally I'd suggest having a minimum of 8 HIGH quality pull ups before adding weight 💪🏿

[@stevensen6541]

@@CaliToTheCrowd Cool, thanks for replying. Love your channel.

[@DHMAHESPALSINGH]

how many regular pull ups( grip wider than shoulder width) can you do in a row? 15??because people who can do 30 usually have a bw weighted pull up.

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

I'm not actually sure. I'd guess about 8 - definitely would struggle to do 10 with a grip wider than shoulders width 💪🏿

[@reecethomson6947]

Is that true if you can do 30 pull ups in a row you can do BW weight + BW in the pull up?

[@DHMAHESPALSINGH]

@@reecethomson6947 according to the formula Weight lifted(1+n/30), yeah.

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

Welcome to the Cali Crowd 👊🏿

[@AwestaKhalid]

I would agree that pull-ups are way more sensitive to body weight changes than dips. Which is strange because the entire body is suspended in the same direction in both moves. Maybe it’s because a pullup takes a bit more strength to do than a dip.

[@ErykSzczypta]

nice voice G 👍

How to train them ?Like doing 5/5 Andre then do negative or static hold ?Or 3/3
