I was a Marine. I did a 300pft many times. I did tons of pull ups on my liberty. One trick I used is two days before a pft I would do 100 pull ups. One day before a pft I would rest and eat no food all day. So the day of the pft I felt light as a feather And strong as a bee. I’m now 59 and have a pull up bar next to my bed.

+Ismail Khayam when I was working on pullups, I did something different that work for me. I have done 20 pulls every pft I've done.

[@amramjose]

I seem to remember, as a teen, not being able to do any. I started in 8th grade with barely one, then every day on the bar, I got stronger and stronger. 20 took about 3 moths and in 10th grade my max was 33. In the corps, I always got 20. Now 4 decades later, I can still do about 12, sometimes struggle and do 15 but it takes a daily regimen of alternating a single max set, with multiple sets at half-max, if memory serves me right. For example if one's max is 12, do 5 or 6 sets of 1/2 max or 6, rest a day, do a max set, rest and repeat. I am starting this process again, at 66, to try to get my old 20+ max.

[@centrice12]

The main secret is to hook your thumbs over the bar so your forearms don't get fatigued from gripping the bar. Second secret is to lean back and engage your entire back so it becomes almost a rowing motion. If you pull straight up, you are relying only on arm, shoulders, and lat muscles.

[@JacobHPCook]

amen

[@kilo0151]

Any one still watching this and can’t figure it out...this is how I went from 15-30 pull ups in 6 months while deployed: do 5 max sets a day, every day. Even if you’re sore and can only do 3, max out 5 times a day. Getting better at pull ups is all about constantly signaling your body.

I got good at pull-ups by doing the flex am hang for as long as I could hold it. After a few weeks I could do about 3 but after a few months I got up to 10. Technique is important and so is confidence but practice is key.

[@danwalsh6898]

To be honest, the secret is to literally just doing more pull-ups. Assistance exercises like rows and bicep curls could help out with grip strength and things like that but honestly if you work on doing pull-ups every other day you'll get very good at them very quickly. Sometimes you can change up how many you do, for instance...Monday: 3 sets to complete failure (treat every set like it is the day of your PFT, rest about 1.5-2 minutes in between sets) Wednesday: Take the number you did from the first set yesterday (so your max pull-ups at full strength) and then cut it in half. Do continuous sets until you can't reach that number anymore and then do one last burnout set. Example: my best right now is 16, I would do sets of 8 until I couldn't hit 8 anymore, and obviously resting in between sets. Friday: Change up grips (wide, normal, neutral, chin-ups), and maybe throw in some negatives if you'd like and have fun with it. Case and point just doing more pull-ups will help you the most.

[@mastercard4350]

Dan Walsh that's actually what we wanted to learn from thus video but thanks.

[@Dan-di9jd]

You're 100% right. A lot of folks try to do other exercises to build up the strength to do pull ups but the best way to do pull ups is to simply hang on the bar for any duration of time and attempt to pull up. If you want to do something other than hanging off the bar you should try hanging up on the bar and doing negatives. Don't waste time doing anything else and you'll find yourself doing a lot more pull ups. The only problem is that trying to do pull ups is quite boring. I think a lot of folks end up trying to do something else then find they still can't do pull ups despite that. So the best way I find is that you should try to do pull ups all day long. Get a bar and just try to do a pull up here and there or just hang on the bar for a little and do something else. The idea is the bar will build up all the proper strength to do an exercise.

[@dansots]

All Marines should be trained in basic gym and weight lifting classes. There is no secret to pull ups other than putting time in the gym. I never touched a pull up bar to train for pull ups until I reached a consistent max of 23.

[@user-zh1ne4dp5o]

Yes, you are right. Best way to do pull-ups is to do it every day. When we do something regularly, it becomes a habit. Perfection will Automatically comes in when we do it regularly. I did my first chin-up and pull-ups without any assistance. I did 5 for both. It's better to do smaller reps for beginners.For example, one should do 2 reps/6 sets and gradually increase the reps/sets.

My way of training to do more pull-ups is to do weighted pull-ups. I have seen a big growth in the number of pull-ups I can do without the weights now compared to when I wasn't using the weights

[@donavanjames7945]

I read the guide in the description. The main thing I think its missing is "plateauing". That is, when a training program no longer benefits a person and only maintains. When I was trying to increase my pull-up count, there came a point where just doing pullups regularly throughout the day, did nothing for me. That was around the 16-18 pullup mark for me. For awhile I thought I was overtraining or something, so I spread all my pull-up related workouts to only 2-3 times per week. That did nothing for me. I tried challenges like "every minute on the minute" and doing max sets every hour every other day. Nothing. The fastest way I found personally to fix that was to add weight (ie. a backpack) with a few pounds of gear in it and do max sets with that for a couple weeks, and then go back to doing bodyweight sets. Easily gained 5-6 pullups added to my max set. I believe that is the secret to pullups.

[@aidenh4681]

progressive overload

[@mrsglittermepink]

I accidentally did this program last summer. Every time I cussed I made myself do 3 pullups (around a dozen to 20 times a day). In about 3 weeks I went from doing 4 or 5 pullups to 9. Also, ran a mile per every cig a day (4-6). Took my run time down about 2 min as well in 3 weeks. I would split the mileage in between HIIT and distance.

If you can do 5 pull ups, start doing dropsets with an assistance band until you can do 10 reps unassisted. After that, start doing weighted pull ups with 10-20 pounds until you can do 5 sets of 5. Then do drop sets going from wheighted straight to assisted.

I flatlined my pullup count at 15, but I added weights to a backpack and wore it while doing them. Now I can do loads more. If you do this, be careful not to screw up your back.

[@proverbalizer]

I use a backpack full of books for pushups, but for pullups I don't really want weight hanging on my traps...I shouldn't of try it though...may not actually be a problem

[@death2pc]

One additional compliment to both pull ups and chin ups (palms facing away, palms facing inward, respectively) is at the end of both, half way up, to a greater extent half way down, STOP, HOLD.............. Lock your arms in a 90 degree position and HOLD. Hold for as long as you realistically can and then proceed to (try to) go up one last time, or, if you are on the down motion, after the hold, let yourself down fully. This is, at that point, a pure ISOMETRIC and isometric is beyond critically important toward increasing strength. Incorporate isometric in any number of exercise. Also with pull ups and chin ups, many go too fast. While a quick upward movement is a good thing at times with a slow downward movement, try sets where you are going up slowly and down even slower. A "simple" set of "only" ten - SLOWLY executed will be a real eye opener for many who heretofore like to jackrabbit up and down as quick as possible and by same achieving a higher numerical.

Excellent job Major! Thank you for solving this for all Marines and for helping to silence those naysayers that are still in the dark ages about the capabilities of Women Marines. OORAH M'am! - GySgt USMC ret.

[@AllAmericanPatriot1]

The capabilities of women Marines...Do NOT include being able to best Russian, Chinese, Syrian, Iraqi, etc., males in hand-to-hand combat. The capabilities of women Marines do NOT include not bleeding out of their genitals and cramping painfully once a month while on long patrols. The capabilities of women Marines no NOT include having less body-fat and more testosterone-induced muscular hypertrophy, resulting in naturally higher muscular strength and development. I could literally type paragraphs, but it's sad that we live in a day when people are blind to the fact that men have evolved to be bigger, stronger, faster, more explosive, more capable of violence, and more able to endure long-term physical hardship, than women. You can indulge in your GI Jane fantasies until kingdom come, but you can't change evolution no matter how much you sulk and whine. When women Marines are getting their necks snapped in close combat, when women Marines are being raped to death by subhuman ISIS fighters, when women Marines slowing down and reducing the overall capability of the entire unit, and getting male Marines killed as a result, hopefully you'll reconsider. Say what you will about the Israelis, but their military is honed to protect a small nation in a hostile land, and they withdrew females from combat units after a trial period because it DID. NOT. WORK. They've integrated women into the air forces, MPs, intelligence, and a myriad of other occupations with great success, but direct ground combat is no place for women. Period.

[@ORF5519]

All of your points are interesting, but none of them are germane to the video on which I commented. I thought the video was about PT? If I were to expand on it I'd say that those that believe in gender-norming are the ones to whom I'm addressing. As well as those who still, for reasons I can't fathom, want to put Women Marines into some sort of box. When I first went in women had just started having the same uniforms as the men (though they were only issued 2 sets of cammies). The mile and a half PT run was still relatively new, and they women Marines didn't fire the rifle at all! When those things were changed, there was an uproar that "women won't be able to get into the firing positions" and "they will be taking training time away from the men" and most egregious, "the are genetically incapable of firing better than low marksman!" All of which were just wrong. That said, At which point did my comments even intimate comparisons between female and male Marines, or women in ground combat, or the biological differences between men and women? Talk about over reach and only being able to see through the prism of one's ideology. Regardless of the aforementioned issues, bringing the PFT into synch with the current male standard is a good thing for the Corps. And female Marines doing pull ups is the first, and necessary step to accomplishing that goal.

one thing that helped me was to think more chest to bar rather then trying to get ur chin to bar ...also helps use more of your back muscles rather then biceps in the pull-up ...so think to urself chest up when hanging ...this contracts your back and shoulders lifting ur chest up, then as you begin to bring ur chest to the bar your back is already activated in pulling urself up rather then relying on your biceps to pull most of your weight ...it really helps. Remember Pull-up is a Back Focused Exercise with wider grip, while Chin-up is a Bicep Focused Exercise with narrow grip.

How to do pull-ups - do more fuckin pull-ups

[@edwardpf123]

This is what female marines are required to do now, hang from a bar, not pullups.usmilitary.about.com/od/marines/l/blfitfemale.htmIn order to pass the semi-annual fitness test, Marines must perform the minimum acceptable performance requirements shown in the chart below for their age-group. Additionally, they must have enough overall points to meet the 3rd class fitness requirements (see below).Minimum Fitness Requirments for Each PFT Event - Females Age Flexed-Arm Hang Crunches 3-Mile Run 17-26 15 Seconds 50 31:00 27-39 15 Seconds 45 32:00 40-45 15 Seconds 45 33:00 46+ 15 Seconds 40 36:00 So, the Marines were ordered by Obama to put female marines into combat units and they may not even be able to do a single actual pullup.

[@delvesdg]

+edwardpf123 I doubt any female Marine that could not perform the PFT in an exemplary fashion would join, or be asked to join, a combat unit. What would be the point of that?

[@edwardpf123]

+Dawud G Delves -No, they will just lower the standards! The Marines already showed that the women couldn't make it through infantry training school (could not deal with the force marches) and that is why they didn't want them integrated into combat units. They were overruled in the name of 'diversity'

[@delvesdg]

They will lower the standards or they have lowered the standards? Are we complaining about something that hasn't happened yet? First we were talking about PFT, now we are talking about force marches. (?) I find that most people, are against the idea of females in combat roles, with preemptive assumption. I will complain when and only when the order for standards to be lowered is issued. For now let everyone try out, if they can't hack it, then send them packing. Don't deny the opportunity based on assumption.

[@edwardpf123]

+Dawud G Delves -The order is to integrate women into combat units.No women made it through the rigors of Infantry training school, but that didn't stop the order. They are not going to allow the issue of physical differences stand in the way of that.Women are not going to be required to meet the same PFT standards as men.And by the way their requirements for the run is also lower.

[@Hugh_Jas97]

+edwardpf123 you're wrong. Several women have completed enlisted infantry training without trouble, and these are the ones that will be allowed to make a lateral move into an 03xx MOS if they so desire. These women passed by male standards. The standards were not lowered for them, and if anything the standards would have been even more strict, as everyone wants to see them fail in order to preserve the idea that only men are capable of fighting. There has yet to be a female officer that has been able to complete Infantry Officer Course, but that doesn't mean that there aren't women out there who are capable of doing so.

I read her stuff, it's pretty much the same advice one would get doing a simple google search. But honestly, just keep doing pull ups; most marines can lift their own body weight. Other than the basic advice of, "do negatives, do pyramids, get someone to assist you..." If gym access is available to you, warm up with some lat pull downs to activate those lats, work on scapular retractio, mind muscle connection, and all that stuff. Lat pull downs aren't a 100% perfect substitute for an actual pull up, but it is pretty close.

[@slowpoke96Z28]

you need to be shooting probably at least once a week then.

[@zacherylieske405]

[@louisneuman2410]

+Zachery Lieske at camp that's cute

[@slowpoke96Z28]

that's a start. you need to get out in the field and shoot too though. you can only get so good at camp shooting at paper.

I'm 13 and for wrestling we have the do at least 30 pull-ups a day

[@jabronitheclopper5419]

Those techniques really helped me out I went from 10 pull ups to 22

[@danniemo51]

Where do you start if you can't do any at all?

[@csMarathonz]

Dannie Morgan Start lifting. Work a main body part each day, incorporate an ab workout at the end of each workout to develop your core. As you build muscles throughout your body attempt a single pull up each day. After you get one. Try for two, then three and so on.

[@bentmercer]

Dannie Morgan just keep trying. also start deadlifting and 1 arm rows.

[@0hn0haha]

Don't be female is step 1.

[@ORF5519]

Negative vertical push ups is one way of starting. Also, horizontal rows (sometimes called Australian pull ups) and incrementally decrease the angle towards vertical. Also, learning the kip pull up technique allows you to develop the feel of vertical movement. Once you can do three, then pyramiding (perform 1 pull up, then rest, perform 2 pull ups then rest, etc. and then back down after you reach your target number) a la the Navy Seal and the USMC Workouts, will help you develop strength.

[@pandachong7942]

If u can't do pull-ups start with building arms with push-ups

[@AstroVanTribe]

Hey, how 'bout you actually mention the tips.... A big one is just doing them regularly where you develop grip strength. Another is to engage your core, she's doing that when she's caught talking about the legs being brought forward. I'm a Marine from the '80's - back then I was maybe able to knock out 14, today at 55 I can do 20+ One thing I stared doing was alternate grip, so, 10 overhand pull-ups, then alternating with each hand facing different directions each way, so two more sets of ten, then 10 chin-ups with palms facing you. So that's a total of 40 - Do that every day, at least once a day for two weeks, more than once a day if you can find the time - After a couple weeks give standard pull-ups a shot and you'll really surprise yourself

I have worked with some tough Lady Marines, keep up the great work!

[@g496r500t]

I didn't see one properly executed pull-up, or are the standards going to be "adjusted" [lowered] again.

[@DigitalHaze65536]

What you are talking about, is the arm being so far forward right? (Like a reverse grip chin up rather than a pull-up) That definitely makes it easier, the arm more to the side uses more back, less bicep. (If I want to do biceps.........I'll finish up with chin-ups or do some curls.......always do the pronated grip first)

[@Exmortis85]

they dont use a good lower body form , its almost like they are kipping

[@ORF5519]

For 18 of my 22 years in the Corps male Marines were allowed to use the kip on PFTs. I changed over to dead-hang at a PFT a few years before the change happened, but it took me about a year to regain the 8 pull ups I lost to get back up to 20. I used the Navy Seal workout at the time. It took longer, as it's a progressive workout, but the result is that even having been retired going on 16 years I can STILL do 20 pull ups. Anyway, a way to transition female Marines to the male standard would've been to allow them to kip pull ups. That would've demystified the action to them and their muscles. Then, a progression that required at least 3 dead-hang pull ups within all of their pull ups, and finally removing the kip. Use the kip would also immediately negate the issue of upper body strength differences and allowed an immediate change to the standard once the technique was acquired.

[@brettmichaelweber4495]

I'm telling you U.S. Marines deserve it. U.S. Marines are tough, they look good, clean, strong, and bad. Our Marines are bad. Bad to the bone. They get out there and do it right. They strive for the best and do their best. They do the best and they are the best. No doubt in my mind, U.S. Marines get it in. And that's what's up. They aren't just a flex, they're the real deal.

[@isaaclark]

Sooo thx video for letting me know of HER program. Title is very misleading.

[@psuedosect9287]

Check description

[@datsuntoyy]

I could never get past 19 but I could do 19 wide grip, narrow grip, overhand, underhand, behind or infront of head. Never hit 20. Best way to get good at pull ups is just do a lot of pull ups. Alternate your grip, it uses different muscles and will round out your strength. 1:27 I consider this a mid grip overhand, try this grip behind the head. My 8 year old daughter can do 3.

[@BoxierPower]

I feel bad for anyone who can't do a single pull-up.

[@shabutir1820]

I couldnt do 1 the first time I tried. Now I can do about 10 in a minute. But it took alot of time to get to that point....

[@nathanrish7099]

Dear Maj. I went from never could get past 14 pull ups to 20 by doing the following....Practice them in sets just like lifting weights....Say: do 12, rest then 13, then rest. then 14 then rest. Do this every other day for a week. Then the next week start with 13, rest then 14, then rest, then 15. Then the next week....and the next weeks increment one pull up per set in all three sets When one gets to doing 15,16, and 17..it is nothing to get all psyched up to do 20 on a PFT.in a single set. Also, as in your video...exhale when exerting over the top of the bar. Also an over the top of the bar grip as in your video...puts the staying on the bar in one's hands not their fingers. My motivation was to beat another officer candidate who always out did me at field meets at Auburn University each Spring. Our team was from Florida (UWF) and as a Senior he did 20 pull ups as did I, he did the 80 set ups as did I, and then (using a 2nd wind half way through the 3 mile run....I out ran his ...self.

If you are reading this and legitimately looking for advice then know this: there is no secret. There are no tricks. There are no tips. This sentiment is true for nearly all skills in life. If you want to get better at pull ups. Do as many as you can as often as you can. If you cannot do any use a resistance band or machine. That’s it.

For everyone saying the video didnt help, the entire program is downloadable as a pdf from the link in the description.

Awesome Major Misty Posey. Ooh Rah! Semper Fi

[@jasonrash7020]

Lots of content there. This is how you get to 20 pull ups: Over hand grip is best because It uses larger muscle groups, even if you're lanky. Practice with it and then hit the gym. Hit the lat pull down machine. If you weigh 150, then select 125 on the machine and work it. 180? Select 140 and hit it, 8 reps x3 until it becomes natural. Keep building up until you are at your body weight x5. There is a lot of work on the bar, so practice often. They try to prevent you from kipping, but they don't even know what kipping is. With a solid waist, and firm legs make a figure 8 motion, flexing each time you upswing. Keep your body rigid and they won't know the difference. Your chest should be away from the bar as you go up, and close as go down. They won't call it kipping if your legs are rigid. Once you perfect your fluid motion, then 20 pull ups will be an easy day. You'll be pumping 25-30 reps in no time just to show off.

[@MrCmon113]

>Over hand grip is best because It uses larger muscle groups Why do you think that? You're taking your biceps out of a good position and that one will certainly be stronger than your brachialis/brachioradialis. >Hit the lat pull down machine. Why? You can put weights on yourself and just do pull ups.

The "SECRET" To Doing More Pull Ups Is To Do Pull Ups!! One For Chesty!! One For Dan Daly!! One For The Commandant!! One For The Corps!! Semper Fi!!

[@xmdevus]

I went from 0 to 11 in 5 months 20 sounds great so hope it helps

I didn't realize there was a Marine base in Quantico, wow! Great tips! FFFRRRRTTT.

Brilliant programme! Thank you for your work.

[@seanparrish1686]

Never saw her prove she could do 20 for her to be qualified but if she can and is teaching Marines and others to do more that's great. 👍

Thanks im losing a hundred pounds before I enlist in October 2022 I'm 26 yrs old joining the Marines I to the gym every day I feel amazing right now

[@mayukhsen8195]

Do half your max reps for 4-6 sets a day, each set should be atleast 1 hour apart, do it for 14 days, then take 2 days off(or do 2 sets for 2 days) and then retest your max, your max will now be higher than before. Then start your training with half your new max reps, again, 4-6 sets a day for 2 weeks and then retest yourself. It's not uncommon to double or close to double your max reps after each 2 week cycle. This is the fastest way to increase one or two select movements. Don't do this for any more than 2 movements at a time or you won't get results. Keep repeating this for 4 months, you will surely reach 24+ pull ups in a row atleast in 4 months.

[@kostirkodanylo]

Lots of knowledge and great tips in this video

[@vadymbielikov6526]

cool! thanks for the techniques!

[@heavymetal1962]

Excellent video.~Props to her!

[@reddogleader1968]

After reading the Major’s written plan I can see how this is an excellent strategy to increase pull up repetitions.

[@origamicrane685]

Something they say over at AthleanX is to do hammer curls because they train a muscle in your forearms that is apparently essential to doing pull ups.

[@danielrousseau4842]

I went through Parris Island in 1956 and we wore no protective equipment when training with pugil sticks. We were dressed in boondockers, utility trousers, white t-shirt, and utility cover. No helmet. No face mask. No padding of any kind.

[@Rick-5728]

I agree, it doesn't take a year to get to 20 pull ups. If you do one every two weeks, you'll finish with almost 3 months to spare.

[@3989Mike]

Thank you, Major

[@TheRedEleven]

As a Marine who thinks that most women in the military are bullshit tokens, i have to say...i love this girl! I've been so wrong. No bullshit, no excuses, she just does it! better than most men I must say. Thanks sweetheart for proving me wrong and please do your part to make sure that the Marine standard remains one standard. You are the the real thing and we need you kid!.
