Road back to 30 Pull-Ups. (26 achieved, with hanging rest)

[@angelos.9690]

Antony it’s a great performance, very impressive and motivational. I just turned 50 years, and I have started to train to the gym one year ago, and I can do 10 rep. For sure, I will work to increase it Greetings from Italy

[@sammominks]

Much respect. Great channel!

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Thank you, that’s good to hear.

[@nikhilp925]

Amazing job sir 👌💪

[@8899Rulex]

Antony, you are my favorite bloger! I'm rejoying watching your videos. Thank you. Reicently, I also tried to do 30 pull ups, and unfoturnayely, I couldn't do it. I don't use technic like hanging one arm, and my reps is only till begin of my chin, and also i try doing pull ups as quicly as posible or my ligament is down.

[@dalesparks7647]

When you achieved 30 last time, you did 20 then hung. 6 reps isn't enough, while you're fresh you need to capitalise. Congrats on 26=that's a top effort. BTW great channel Antony

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Probably have to agree with that. I just wanted to try something different. The Italian Butterfly managed 320 pull-ups in groups of 6, with hanging rest. So I wanted to try it too. But he is a one off!

[@dalesparks7647]

@@funwithcalisthenics I'll check his channel out

Tazio has immense grip strength..you can try also the slow tempo system of the guy who did 105 pull ups in one long set.

[@ramchb]

Well done Antony. You need to do something about the height of the bar. You shouldn't have ur legs crossed. Still very impressive

[@yuvalomrad7090]

Theres also a guy who did 70+ reps with this hanging rest...but he did went 30-40 in a row before starting hanging one arm. Thats only works if your one arm hanging is very good and you can hold one arm for 2 minutes straight. If you can only hang one arm for 30 seconds or so, thats too challanging to do hanging rest one arm

[@ryokan9120]

Hi, this is a phenomenal performance and I'm really enjoying your videos. Curiously, do you ever do any leg exercises?

[@funwithcalisthenics]

That’s good to hear. I do some leg exercises but probably not enough. But as an ex marathon runner for many years, my legs are in good shape.

[@AnalogFitness]

I normally don’t go to failure, but think the hanging rests are tapping energy and I would delay and reduce the rests until needed. Your forearms and not getting any rest and the time under tension clock keeps ticking. Might have to give this challenge a go.

Greetings from germany 🇩🇪 Antoni🤝

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Hello Ben, great to hear from you in Germany. Sending best wishes to you and all my supporters in Germany!

[@buxboi5308]

Inspiring channel! Can you tell me your athletic background? Cos I was always unathletic / but started calesthenics in 40s several times and kept injuring myself / never actually got to a muscle up …

[@funwithcalisthenics]

😮thanks so much.

[@АндрейОрлов-э4р]

👍💪

[@funwithcalisthenics]

😊thank you.

[@totallyraw1313]

Have you ever had any injuries, such as Golfer's elbow?

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Fortunately not, lucky I guess. Having said that, I do try and build up slowly, and I rest for a few days if I do feel any unusual pains.

[@AsanakaWampawal-yk5nj]

How long do i want to practice to do muscle up

[@Kampup]

I cant do a ssingle pullup will you do a total beginner pullup? for over 50's, thanks

[@coycontres8754]

Take a deep breath and hold and do as many as you can, then exhale and hang then inhale hold and do as much as you can!

[@iSwearToCod]

what no

[@funwithcalisthenics]

@@iSwearToCodI couldn’t do that, unless I was only doing a few reps. Always good to breathe I think.

[@funwithcalisthenics]

It’s important to keep breathing as they set takes a while.
