INCREASE YOUR REPS (1-30+ REPS)

Did 30 strict pull-ups as a hs sophomore, now a senior and really want to get that strength back to hit 40😂

[@RohitKumar-hr2qr]

Thanks for the video. Right now i am stuck at 21 pull ups

[@MichaSchulz]

Let‘s see if strategy 3 will do a good job for you!

[@takeiteasy8847]

Thats some place I would not mind being stuck at. Thats pretty amazing already. I can do 7 with + 20kg but high reps I struggle with.

[@RohitKumar-hr2qr]

@@takeiteasy8847 same here , I can do 5×5 20 kg pull ups but without added weight I don't see any progression

[@ccat9354]

Hi Micha! Question on Step 3 - when you want to pursue really high rep max goals, possibly with some weight, but aren't chasing a 1RM, which of these would you do to the backoff sets first: Increase the 4-8 rep range into a higher range -or- Start adding more than 2.5kg and stay in 4-8 rep range? I can think of several schemes that I'd experiment with, but curious what you'd do for an athlete with that goal. Thank you!

[@CaptainWischmopp]

Very nice plan, want to try out it in my next block but i have a few questions left: 1. is it still working if i use Pullups as the second exercise in my workout, for example after benchpress? 2. How often do i need to train in a Single week? You explained that you try to make progress once a week but do you also train pullups just once or do you train it more often and just adding weight or raps once a weak instead of every workout? I know I could ask in german but try to make this comment also helpfull for people who dont speak german, even if my english is not the very best ✌🏼

[@corbefranz5388]

1. Yes, you can. Pull-ups being the second exercise, you might eventually have a little less strength, so I suggest you alternate the order from session to session/ week to week to match the progression. 2. If you want to progress on a specific movement, training it 3x per week at different intensities is probably the best option. If you are starting with pull-ups, an option would be to dedicate one day to the classic pull-up, one day to band assisted pull-ups and a last day to negative pull-ups. If you are more experienced, alternate weighted and bodyweight pull-ups, as doing only weighted pullups won't necessarily increase your max reps. Viel Erfolg 💪

i want to reach the 25 push ups and 25 australian pull ups before starting with the gym

[@takeiteasy8847]

I hate to be a language nazi but it is pronounced linear almost like in german spoken "linea". I really appreciate the high level of content on your channel so I cant help myself. ☮ 🙏 (also bi weekly progression is spoken "bei wiikli")

[@fshiu]

Grip + pushing past the burn starts being an issue around 25 reps. Respect to "reps and sets" athletes and "multi rep" competitors but would rather just work on 1rm and low/moderate weighted rep ranges

[@MichaSchulz]

Yes it’s impressive type of training, few people realized how hard that actually is

[@ibrahimAli-h6n]

what is better for grtting better at pullups step 3 or Doing just 2 sets of pullups with weights for 6-8 reps first set - 10-12 second set

[@MichaSchulz]

I don’t know what you are talking about

[@Skit-Shot]

​@@MichaSchulz He is asking which method is better to increase pull-up 3rd step you talked about or if he did weighted pull-ups for 1st set for 6-8 reps and a 2nd set of weighted pull-ups to failure.

[@Affliction604]

What about EMOM? I'm coaching a friend of mine and we started with EMOM of 11m and 3 reps and we've worked our way to 30m EMOM. He was able to progress from 7-8 to 12 pull ups in the span of 5 weeks or smth like that

[@remix3205]

I can currently do 3-4 Pullups so how long would I rest in between sets

[@MichaSchulz]

2-3min

[@remix3205]

@@MichaSchulz thanks

[@remix3205]

Do you recommend doing this or using bands bc I currently use bands

[@Age98]

Do you think a mechanical drop set would work for increasing pul ups. I have seen it on KZbin . I can current oy do 6 pull ups

[@MichaSchulz]

From my understanding of training I would say it’s a waste of time. It will just fatigue you morr

[@dimitriskarabiperis4406]

Can i combine this program with hypertrophy somehow? Dips for push days and pull ups for pull days.

[@MichaSchulz]

You will build muscle on every rep range if it is trained closed to failure 👍🏻

[@miklerobertson7486]

Dude I struggle to feel my lats during whole pull ups I literally tried every method to feel my lats Do you have anything to teach? BTW I can do 25 unbroken clean pull ups

[@MichaSchulz]

Are you making back gains? If yes, no need to work on some mind muscle connection

[@takeiteasy8847]

Try doing single armed lat pulldowns before to pre activate and feel your lats. I used to have the same issue and it helped me quite a bit (also got that tip from this channel).

This method is best for Once or twice sessions per week ?

1-2 sessions

In step 3 i do 1 x AM reps and 3 x 4-8 reps range back off set with weighted?

Just rewatch the passage from the video, you are missing some important things.

how many times a week can I do these workouts if I wanna do only 3 sets of pull ups and dips? right now i do it 3xweek

[@MichaSchulz]

2x, if you add a 3. session I would use a variation of the exercise that tackles possible sticking points

[@alma6trooshi]

how many times in week i do ?

[@MichaSchulz]

You decide. 🙏

[@KnocKxxx]

Hello Mischa - thanks for the great content and i have a question regarding the last technique AMRAP top sets. I get that idea of progressing in the top set and the other 2 serving as moderate sets with some added weight and with for example pullups/dips thats pretty clear, but my concern is about pike pushups, which i now primarily do and want to improve - should i do it with the same design (so adding 2-3 kg via weight vest), or possibly raising my legs to increase the difficulty without the added weight? (but that is probably way bigger step, than adding 2-3 kg to current progression?).

[@MichaSchulz]

Pike push ups are not a very suitable exercise to use for that system as you figured it’s hard to load. And you also don’t really need a system like that for pike push ups as you can use low reps all the time with matching progressions 🤝

[@KnocKxxx]

@@MichaSchulz OK, thanks again for the reply :) But since i like testing various things i will try to add the same weight via weight vest to Pike Pushups and we´ll see how that works :) I am not chasing some arbitraty number of reps, but i want to have really solid base in the basics before i jump in to some advanced stuff like the first progression of levers etc. :)
