7 Moves for Better Push Ups and Pull Ups!

[@CompetitiveFemaleTraining]

Just found this video and shared with our all female audience... pull-ups and push-ups are massive goals for many of our athletes, love that you give movement suggestions that are not "go to your knee push-ups" and ring rows. Thank you!!!

[@marcusfilly]

so happy to hear this! let us know if we can help out in any other way!

[@davidfryer9359]

A Formidable educator. This was enlightening. Once upon a time, I could do these effortlessly. Youth is wasted on the young. But I don't look 59ish. This will help.

[@Copepod]

Awesome thanks for the tips I just got my first pullup about 3 weeks ago thanks to your program

[@Jimmy-h6t]

DUDE..your eccentric (perfect negative with weights) push up has me on fire 🔥 tytytyty

[@kristawaller5344]

It's been my goal for several years to be able to do bodyweight pull-ups. Three years ago I had a shoulder injury that resulted in two surgeries about 8 months apart. I continue to get stronger and improve my range of motion but it has been a long road, I'm working on assisted negatives because I'm not able to do them unassisted with controlled movement yet.

[@jamespatrick5827]

U got ut mate you can do it, I had the same problem with my shoulder it's a long road but worth

[@FourCorners257]

Oh I feel your pain! Pull-ups were a long term goal of mine and 3 years ago I had just moved up to six pull-ups, one day I jumped up to the bar, miscalculated and shattered the joint in my pinky finger. 3 surgeries and three years later I am stuck on 3 pull ups. Sounds like you have tougher road with a shoulder injury. Keep at it and good luck.

[@Humatra]

I love how close you sit to the camera

[@bigpicturegains]

I love the idea of using the negatives to build your strength. Good tips overall!

[@marcusfilly]

it is one of the most poweful tools we have

[@bjarneknauf2402]

Can you do an an advanced guide, for people who just managed to their first push and pull ups! For like „how to do a 100 push ups in a row“

[@bjarneknauf2402]

Great information!

[@Platelifter]

Going from your first to 100 is a bit of a stretch, and if you understand fitness and exercise you’ll understand there’s no need for another video. There’s no secret technique for 100 push/pull ups, just muscular limitations.

[@bjarneknauf2402]

@@Platelifter So how do some people do that, I went from 0 to about 50 push ups in a year, but I’ve been stuck here for some time now.

[@bjarneknauf2402]

@@Platelifter do you know some kind of guide how to set up the training in terms of sets and reps, and maybe even extra weight?

[@supersand7502]

@@bjarneknauf2402 if you want to increase overall number of push up you can do a 5 set thing where you do as many pushups as you can without stopping with proper form then you take a 2 minute rest the do 80% percent of what you originally did then do a 70% 60% 50% sets with rest in-between

Something else that I think helped me with pull ups was suitcase carries. Grip & core.

[@nevinwhite2371]

Lever raises and one arm active hangs have helped keep my shoulders pain free during any pulling movements.

[@marcusfilly]

Those are great drills too

[@larsnystrom6698]

You are good, and I like your presentation style. So I watch your videos, even though I already foundation my best training form. For the upper body that is push and pull exercise in rings. For exemple push ups in low rings and hanging rows in waist high rings. That, squats, and standing press with a bar is all I need.

[@marcusfilly]

those are great foundational exercises

Great video. Thank you so much.

[@jamesmitchell6332]

Awesome info. Could you please share your thoughts on how to progress to advanced numbers? Like going from 5 to 20 pull-ups and 10 to 50+ pushups?

[@seansartor]

That was an EXCELLENT tutorial. I'm good with the push-ups, BUT my pull-ups say, "Thank You"

Hey Marcus, awesome video as always. My question is not related to the video, but I hope you answer it. I was wondering how much Vitamin D you're taking in a day and how much do you recommend?

[@jamesmartin6077]

Hi Marcus, excellent tips. We get through these at our local CrossFit gym. But not often enough. We are also in lockdown here in Sydney at the moment. I have all the home accessories. Would it be possible to get the link for your PDF for these movements? Regards James

Hi.. where do I find the pdf

[@newjdm]

My elbows tend to lock up on the way down from a pull-up. Any idea what to do?

[@marcusfilly]

You mean on the lowering phase? I woulds work on some pull up negatives

[@newjdm]

@@marcusfilly Well any kind of lowering hurts, whether it’s a negative or preceded by going up. I can only go up. I think it’s a somewhat common problem but I don’t know the solution.

[@tusharshah62]

Bench dips bad fir shoulders?

[@Filipp81]

I do a lot of chin ups anf pull ups and now my elbow hurt. Why?

[@marcusfilly]

Often this comes down to strength balance deficits in the shoulder and too much torque on the elbow when you pull

[@Filipp81]

@@marcusfilly Thanks for the answer! I used fat grips on the bar. I wonder if that could be the cause. Going to do without them see how it goes. Good luck man! love your channel!

[@davidbeiler]

Do you take any supplements?

[@marcusfilly]

Yes, I use a variety of supplements for performance and overall health such as creatine and protein powder, among others.

[@spotmebro3589]

Does anyone know how many sets and reps should I do per progression?

[@marcusfilly]

it is more about feeling confident and having control of each movement rather than a particular number of sets and reps. you can aim for having 5-10rep control at each step before progressing.

[@spotmebro3589]

@@marcusfilly hey thanks! I’m going to start training these movements today. Keep the videos coming! ♥️

[@evisshtufi5692]

What is the point of doing 50 pull ups in row?

[@marcusfilly]

depends on what your goals are. most people will never need to do this many pull ups. but increasing the number of quality pull ups you can do is a good metric of strength and strength endurance growth

[@larsnystrom6698]

Bench press and Pull-down are the beginner goto versions. You can do them with the puny weights you can handle. Pushup, and especially Pull-ups, need some strength. Usually too hard for beginners, I think. And when you have gained the strength, you are used to those tools. So why change? Also, it requires some knowledge to do pushups progressively, especially if you do it without a weight-weat. I have never seen anyone in the gym doing, for example, Archer Push-ups. Come to think about it. I have never seen anyone in the gym do strict push-ups. And strict pull-ups are dammed hard to do. No one does those!

[@PatrickDrinksCoffee]

I don’t understand how I can bench over 300 lbs, but struggle to do push-ups. How doesn’t that strength carry over?

[@marcusfilly]

if this is a serious comment I think it likely comes back to motor control. so just spend some time working your push up technique

[@PatrickDrinksCoffee]

@Marcus Filly Totally serious. I benched 315 Monday, but struggle to do a large volume of push ups. I tried your ques of squeezing and control and I really did help. I think it could be my core strength. Do you have a video on the topic or any movements you’d suggest?

SoNo Un TuO GrAnDe fAn

[@jimmysmad]

Every time I go back to pull ups I get golfers elbow and have to stop exercising for months to heal :(

[@ciandunphy7888]

Are you doing then correctly?

[@bradranger]

For what it's worth: Happened to me, too. Ended up being a weakness in my grip strength/forearm muscles. Make sure the bar is gripped firmly in your palm, and not just by your fingers around the bar, which can lead to that injury. Also, straps can help as you work on building grip strength.

[@rasecsajor3699]

Jimmy I had the same happened. My fix was my grip. Ensuring I wasn’t putting all the weight with my pointer and middle finger. Instead distribute the weight evenly. Try it 👍🏽

[@jimmysmad]

Thanks man. I will definitely put that into action next time I try pull ups, hopefully will cure it

[@raveriv8981]

Lol you're gonna break your nose one day

[@Mattykkk25]

Video way to long. To wordy….. quick simple= more views

[@marcusfilly]

Thank you for the feedback. I'll work on it

[@jc4u]

Keep in mind when you are training or speaking to beginners, those are the fundamental details that make the difference. Tbh, I wish it had more details such as; rest time between sets, days per week, should you alternative days on the push\pull workout or do them the same day, etc....those are the small secrets they usually don't give away for free.

Video not too long or too wordy. You’re just mean 👎🏻
