You called me intermediate - I feel honored. I thought 6 reps were beginnerlevel.

Don't smash too much volume with pull ups or you may get medial epicondylitis aka golfers elbow. Its horrible and can easily progress to chronic tendinosis and its the worst sport injury I have ever had. Progress slowly and take rest days and activate your back and don't grip the bar too hard. Overcompensating for back weakness with too strong grip will put too much strain on elbow. Rows are also amazing as Adam says, he knows his stuff just thought I'd share my experience, such a bad injury haha

[@higherresolution4490]

That was great advice. Thanks for taking the time to write all that down. Suggestions that come from personal experience are always the best.

[@lmack6596]

Yup! Been there, and spent months nursing my elbows after over enthusiastic pull up training. Slow, steady, good form, plenty of rest, and patience is the way forward! 💪

[@danjsilve]

@@higherresolution4490Was that with joint preparation? I include a mobility routine that prepares my elbows, as I suffered with tennis elbow from all the rows I was doing. Thankfully now no issues

[@zenks5883]

Damn, i probably needed to hear this, even tho I try to always have rest days for my muscle groups, recently ive had a weird pain in the shoulder on certain movements, this honestly could be it, feels super bad to stop working out now but i guess it's better in the long run to take a week off

[@MegaItsBrandon]

It took me several years to recover from that… but now I’m indeed following your advice and take more rest days and STRETCH more !

[@cryptonerd6916]

1 last way to do more pull-ups. Simply lose weight. Im very heavy at 245 lbs, but when I drop to the 220 lbs range, I can always rep a few more pullups!

[@emmanuel3981]

Tell that to Vitaly Feschuk

[@higherresolution4490]

When I weighed 172 lbs at 6'3", I could do 10 sets of 15 or 15 sets of 10. Now I weigh almost 220, and I can barely do 4 for 3 sets!

[@facelessnameless]

Pull ups at 200+ pounds is an impressive feat nonetheless

[@440s]

I was stuck at 5(no chest to bar yet) for like a month and a half, started doing the 2 method, first time 2 rep x 6 sets. The main benefit I notices is form, I do every pull up with the best form I can rigth now(still no chest to bar 😂) but in my second week on it I am already at 4rep x 8set. Plan is to get to 6x9 with perfect form, chest to bar and then go back with the usual 3 or 4 sets of 10 to 12

[@houssamadjerid]

[@kinderlamoza]

No miracle ?! "Ahhhh" :D :D Great video and tips for unload the weighted sessions, I indeed felt it was too much to have them in every pull session. Thanks for one more great video Adam

[@tredayy312]

Awesome video bro. Joint prep has become my norm be4 i start to train. Im using the 2nd method but i like the 1st method more - might try that. Rings is what id like to see in the next video.

[@jimanHK]

Excellent !!!

Every video you upload is just amazing. I will definitely implement these into my workouts. PD: yes, I've been paying a lot of attention to prehab and joint preparation since 2019 before and after training ;) 😂😂.

When doing weighted vs bodyweight do you change the grip distance?

[@glenrisk5234]

Never really been able to do more than around 12 reps but I could do them with 20Kgs on a belt. I could do a few more at that, maybe 15 bodyweight reps when I was pulling +20 for 12.

[@lmack6596]

You talk so much sense! Get good at the basics; high quality reps. Since I've started leaving my ego at the door and regressing to exercises I can do with good form - I'm progressing well - getting better and getting stronger, and enjoying my workouts again! 💪😃🤸‍♀️

[@johannahultgren2887]

Should you do the banded reps in the same set as the unassisted?

[@AsanakaWampawal-yk5nj]

How i do this pull up workout every day or every other day

[@shopnwoods9901]

Do you recommend the increase and decrease rep method? Each set starting at 1 you add a rep until your close to your max. Then each set after you drop 1 rep. Example: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,6,5 4,3,2,1

[@GymnasticsMethod]

Yeah it's good, sounds fun, however i neved do these :)

[@RedCurl]

What is the name of the elastic band because I can just find short ones in the internet

[@GymnasticsMethod]

It’s from amazon, simple resistance band

[@cobrew2003]

For 4 weeks 10/12 sets of 2 repetitions(pull-ups) with 30 seconds of rest. In week five, do the maximum number of pull-ups and they will be increased ;)

[@KB_610]

I can do 8-10 rep clean pull up and chin up can I ready for starting practice one arm pull up or I need more basic strength

You should go up to 12-15 but with the right progressions you can!

Bro i dont understand this video. My max is 16 pull up. I train 3-4 set max rep or 3-4 set max rep × 60-70%? Three time of week or oll day? I dont have weight help me please bro

[@GymnasticsMethod]

16 reps is a great number, it’s already an overkill based on my standards. I use these methods for people who can’t level up to your lever from like 5-7 reps. So IMO you should just use weights tbh

[@gediminasmalinovskij6312]

Hi, I know that adding sets is one of the effective ways to increase pulling strength, but what about last set to failure??? Currently I am working out with last set to failure method: 3 sets of about 90% of my strength and the last one is max out. Is it less effective than adding extra set? Thanks.

[@ddpwe5269]

Why not add an extra set and then go to failure on that one? Going to failure is like the cherry on top, so anything before that is where you get the bulk of your gains.

Try negative ones once you've completed the 3 regular reps, they can also be assisted with an elastic band, or do australian pull ups

@@massiegauthier1529 Will try negatives, I don't think bands will help though as I find only the top part of pull-up hard

[@marduktr]

I am doing 5 sets of 3 reps pull up and resting 3 minutes between sets. Will it help?

[@massiegauthier1529]

In my experience, if you are consistent, yes it will. But don't stay there for too long and try to get to the next step: do a 4th rep with an elastic band, or do a negative. You could do 3 regular reps, and then 3 other negative ones. Always look for a way to get further as soon as you feel you've achieve some progress: you could even stay at 3 reps, bu do a weighted 1st rep and the 2 regular ones, then later 2 wighted ones and 1 regular, and so one... and then you could hit 4-5 regular reps easily.
