Former gymnast here: We had a strict and very sucessful Pull Up routine at the end of every training: I can only recommend the "pyramid system" it´s pretty simple, a lot of fun, it will make you progress in no time and it kind of follows what he just explained: You start with 1 repetition short break then 2 repetitions short break ... and so on till lets say you reach out to a set of 5, 6 or 7 repetitions at once. From that moment on you go backwards, meaning next set will be 5 again, short break 4 repetitions short break ... and so on until you end up with 1 rep again. At this point if you chose to proceed till 6 reps, you already made a total of 36 pull ups where you were able to concentrate on form and paste throughout the exercise. If you even want to go further and add some spice ( thats what we used to do) push out a last set after you made your last pull up and do as many as you are now able to still get out in a row. Our routine always used to look more or less like that: Pyramid till 7 or 8 Last set of 10-15 pull ups Die in peace! Kind regards and sorry for the long post, but this technique really made the pull up game simple for us and its basically a good addition to what he explained in the video and a simple way to build up on!

Hi Eugene, thanks so much for this program. It worked great. FYI, I installed a pull up bar at home 18 months ago and for the first 11 months, managed to go from 2 to 15 reps to failure by just going to failure in 3 sets twice a week. However, progress stopped and I stalled at 15 reps for 7 months. So after I saw your video, I tried doing 6 sets of 10 reps twice a week... then 7 sets of 10 the next week etc etc until I finished 10 sets of 10 reps at week 5. Today, I tested myself and managed to go to 18 reps! Wow, I was only hoping for 16 reps haha. Will continue this program until I reach my goal of 20 clean reps in a row. Thanks again for this program.

Now I am doing 4 sets of 8 pull ups each upper body session with good form. My max is 11 neutral grip pull ups. I can do 8 pull ups. Consistency is key and how you train is key as well. This video really helped increase my reps/max.

[@_koschwarz]

I had struggled doing pull ups for years in the past. I always just tried to do more, not knowing the proper technique and training method. Now i can do many pull ups in a pretty strict form. Here's what i learned: First: i won't go into details about the proper form (watch YT videos of trusted guys like this guy here), but i think the main key was for me is learning it. I doesn't matter if you can do half or the third of the previous numbers, you will catch up sooner than you think, just make sure every rep counts, every rep you do is done in a good form. The main cues are starting the movement with pulling your shoulders and scapulae down and together, flexing your butt and core, trying to slowing the negative. Second: if i could do 5 strict pull ups, i did only 3. Rest 3-10 minutes, and 3 again. If you do it in a gym doing other excercises, do it in rest time between sets. With this method you can easily do 30-40 pull ups per day. I have a bar at home, so i do pull ups every second day like this and i can easily do 100 reps per day without even being really fatigued. Point is, do as many per week as you can, but always in a strict form, feeling your lats, and always stay below your max rep count per set. Once you reach your max rep count in a set, the next sets will be needlessly harder thus you lose form, and can't pile up many quality pull ups. Third: it takes time, it took me years to learn the technique, master it, and reach the state where i am now. So i basically did what this gentleman says, and i can confirm it works.

[@Derek_1111]

This sounds like the 'grease the groove' method. I did this for awhile and strangely after a month my max set actually went down by one. Not only that but I found doing pull ups everyday even with the low reps started making my body feel like crap after a week or two. For me at least giving myself a day or 2 rest between sessions has always produced better results, but more importantly leaves my body feeling better and stronger which I feel is why I exercise in the first place. I don't see the point of exercising if it leaves you constantly feeling like crap. You should be gaining energy and feeling strong from work outs, not feeling like you're in a constant state of recovery. I'm not knocking your routine. But for me rest days are as if not more important than the work out days.

[@FredrikHenriksson82]

@@Derek_1111 he did say he did pull ups every second day

[@alex20na]

@@Derek_1111 If you got "weaker" by doing GTG, then you were doing it wrong. You're supposed to work as frequently as possible, as heavy as possible, while being AS FRESH as possible...most likely you were overdoing it. I actually got pretty good results whenever I did GTG pull-ups (stopped because of an injury at work, but I am almost healed). I will start again in January.

[@arminkaspar5006]

I had a goal of doing 50 pull ups in 5 sets, for no specific reason other than it's just a nice round number. After one year of trying I was stuck on 5x7. On a good day I could do 8 8 7 7 7, on a bad day it was 7 7 7 6 5. I tried many tricks and finally found one that really worked, not just for me but for anybody who's tried it. First rule, never go to failure on any set. Rule two, rest a bit longer between sets, it's different for every person, pull ups are heavy full body workouts and should be treated as such, meaning you'd need enough rest time to recover. This also goes for number of workouts, I don't do weekly programs, because 7 is an odd number. It works much better if the rest days are equal. 3 days rest in between works best for me, I'm 58, 200lbs, younger people can rest 2 days, for example. And finally the trick: On each workout do this, starting with one or two reps short of what you can do, or one rep if that's all you can do. Take your rest days in between. 5 5 5 5 5 6 5 5 5 5 6 6 5 5 5 6 6 6 5 5 6 6 6 6 5 6 6 6 6 6 7 6 6 6 6 7 7 6 6 6 .... That's the pattern. It takes a while but it works better than any other method. I can do 5x10 easily now the very last two reps are close to failure but never an actual failure. Now I'm working on shortening the rest period between the sets, very little by little. I went from 5 minute rest to 3 now. Again, the rest time depends on your age and metabolism, there is no timing that works for everybody. And never forget to eat healthy, I go backwards if I eat only one junk food meal, or miss one. The same with sleep, don't miss a single hour. Hope this helps somebody. Don't waste much time and energy on other exercises mimicking a pull up. Doing pull ups with correct form is all you need. Keep pulling up, it's the best natural exercise ever, no risk of injury and a true measure of strength.

[@Simplifier123]

After months of frustration I finally got my first pull up. Now I'm pretty much stuck on 3-4 maximum. So by your method I should start doing 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 and so on?

Hey, I've got a couple of questions. One of them is a bit lengthy, I apologize for that I'm not sure if i just missed it, but how long would you say we should rest between each set? The second question is about frequency. I do rock climbing, and I'm trying to build up back strenght, and pull up is the most basic exercise for it. I do additional antagonist training to prevent injuries and to improve general health and all my workout is bodyweight based. So without doing any other weight lifting back workouts like deadlifts, rows, etc... would you still recommend doing it only twice a week or is 3 times a week reasonable considering it would be my back workout besides back extentions for lower back and actual climbing. But my rock climbing level is at the point where I no longer get muscle soreness in my back and I cant push my back to work harder due to my finger's and forearms giving out before I can make my back work (which im also doing strenght exercises on). Other than that thank you alot for making this video its very helpful information, I will definetely include this in my workouts and see how much faster I progress compared to my normal workout.

Tip: alternating ‘active’ and ‘passive’ hanging is a great way to build a foundation at the bottom of your pull-up and helps to increase your grip strength. (Good for shoulder health too) For the advanced: notice how Eugene keeps his feet out front during all of these movements. Crossing your legs with bent knees underneath you isn’t conducive for long term pull up gains IMO. Also Eugene used three different grip orientations in this video, don’t specialize in prone pull ups only. Currently crushing 5X5’s, thanks for the video.

i really love your approch! i agree with you about putting at the first place the correctness of the execution instead of the number of reps that sometimes could be just a number and not a way to improve your skills in long term

[@TheBorzasiandras]

Great explanation!

[@Octane_Karnige]

I couldn't even perform one pull-up before. Followed your advice and finally did my first set of proper pull ups after one and a half weeks. Thank you so much for the advice 😊

If you can't do at least 5 reps of one particular exercise, try decreasing the difficulty by doing an easier version of that exericse. You should be able to do a particular muscle movement often enough to engage the muscles rather than doing the fraction of a movement or doing them dirty. For instance, you could do pull-ups with a resistance band.

[@Ryudo916]

Not sad at all. Doing negatives is a normal part of progression

[@Professional1892]

its not sad at all. i find it inspiring!

[@dynamicdingus7003]

better than Currently:0 Goal:0 It's a start go for it

[@mrfcukmylife]

work on lat pulls, t-bar rows or seated rows and other exercises that work your lats and upper back. if you are carrying a lot of weight you'll want to do plenty of cardio to bring your body weight down since obviously the heavier you are the harder the pull up will be. and try negatives. you'll be doing several pull-ups in no time.

[@eliasjanetis]

I put a pull-up bar in the doorway between my bedroom and bathroom. Each time I went into my bathroom I did as many pull-ups as I could. I started with only being able to do one. Fast forward two months later, now I can do 5 consecutive. My goal is to do 10 by years end.

[@adamandersson3635]

Nice work dude, how many are you able to do consecutive now?

[@eliasjanetis]

@@adamandersson3635 Oh well, I stopped doing them! I tried the other day and back down to 3. I am planning on starting again tomorrow and hoping to get to 10 this summer

Dude, i would do pull ups after bathroom. no point straining when no. 2 is looming..

[@eatitdrinkitluvit955]

Excellent exploration Eugene! I'm going to try this out.

[@KingZahi]

This makes so much sense! Thank u! Ive been going about it the wrong way and i cant wait to try this method. Ive been doing 40 pullups but maxing out as many as i can every set n i noticed my form gets weak towards the end. I had a feeling there was a better approach

Today I completed 60 pull-ups and 3,000 skips on jump rope. 100 skip then 2 pull-ups (alternating straight bar pull-ups, chin-ups and ring pull-ups) 30× sets with minimal rest throughout. Slow reps, no swinging, no momentum. Clean. Today was awesome. Hope everyone had a good workout too

[@nicolastafur1771]

Great vid man, really appreciate it! What would you recommend for those of us who can do 15+ BW pull-ups and would like to start transitioning to weighted pull-ups? I can do a couple of pull ups with 25 kg added to me, would you recommend following the same scheme building up to about 10x3 and then adding weight and going back down to something like 6x3 and so on? Or how would you program this?

[@chrisanjos]

Thank you. I started at 5 max and went into 6x2 reps. After about 4 months I am doing 6x4 reps and they feel good.

[@priscillabahaw5673]

How much rest between sets?

[@chrisanjos]

@@priscillabahaw5673 it varies, but mostly I rest from 3-7 minutes between sets. In that time I often do some stretching.

[@chrisanjos]

@@priscillabahaw5673 where are you in your fitness journey?

[@priscillabahaw5673]

@@chrisanjos 1 year 8 months into training . Started with 0 pull ups august 2020 and can do 2.5 - 3 depending on the day / how well rested I am . When I gain weight it’s harder so right now I am 10 pounds heavier from my starting point. So back to assisted pull ups. The weight gain was mostly fat due to binging but I am sure I gain some a tiny muscle over the period as a female

[@chrisanjos]

@@priscillabahaw5673 that’s real progress! And I do feel that one’s weight change can be really noticed with a pull-up. Are you mixing other exercises in your workouts?

The simplest volume training I’ve ever seen. 🙏 Oddly, as a heavier rock climber(195 lbs, 89 kg), I suck at pull-ups and have been demoralized thus far. I can carry my body weight well inverted/upside down and even pull my way up climbs…putting this into training. 🤘

I just discovered your channel recently Eugene, keep up the great content, and I must say, you have such a beautiful gym! I love the mix of textures, materials that you've used, and whether intentional or not, there very much seems to be a Japanese design aesthetic going on! Looooove it!!!
