Just did 4 with 8lbs. It’s not much, but for my first time and as a female, I think it’s a decent start

[@ARDAYILMAZ72]

Nice!

[@AntBeezy777]

Awesome!

[@wellutopia2237]

Make bigger jumps. Just try. Typically if you can do 5x5 at body weight then you can do 3x3 with 10kgs added or 22 pounds. Round up to 25.

[@redeye8743]

​@@MartinDiStasiosome people start off weak for example I came off an injury and couldn't do a single pullups due to a tendon tear a few weeks after I was able to do 8 pullups easily so it's situational

[@moosehead4497]

Same

[@moosehead4497]

Naw I did the same in 3 months. 0 pull ups to 3x 40 lbs. At the beginning you have no mind muscle so you dont engage anything in 2 weeks you make 70% of the progress

Hi Austin, I always find your weighted exercise tips very insightful. Thanks for another great video. I have a narrow gap between rib bones and hip bones. I have done 2 plates and need a new belt that is more pressing on my bones. What dip belt do you use?

[@salahfoster5681]

Hey Austin, can you do a tutorial on planche training using the parallettes.

[@james_horan]

Do the three to six rep range, do holds at the top and scapular pull ups

[@DilettanteDon]

I used to do these when I was into bodybuilding in my 20's. They completely disappeared from my routine for 20 years after. I am reincorporating them as part of my regime for getting to muscle up. I weigh 157 lbs. Right out the gate I was able to do 5 reps w/35 lbs. plate.

[@Brokensoul586]

Started my adventure with weighted pull ups today 💪 6 sets X 6 reps with 25lbs… I can do regular pull ups for days & excited to start these!

Just hold the last rep of every set at the top and do a slow negative.

[@savvasanastasiou687]

awsome video man! I am now trying a technique to see what happens and it goes like this: you find a weight lets say +20kg , set a timer 20 minutes and try to do as many reps as you can with that weight. I started from doing sets of 2 reps with 1 minute and 10 seconds breaks . over time i started reducing the breaks by 5 seconds every 2-3 training sessions and now I am doing the same with 45 seconds break. today I hit a PR with this weight , 41 reps in 20 minutes. I started from 30 reps the first time i tried this. I want to hit 50 reps and then start over with 25kg . my max is +60kg and i am 120kg bodyweight 🎉

Thats awesome Savvas!! Keep up the good work mate!! ✌️😎

[@jasonlorance1918]

Great video Austin. When you train pullups 3x per week, do you have to lower the volume per workout? I've been doing 2 pull days per week and it's been going well. When I did 3x per week, I thought my recovery suffered a bit. Maybe I just need to cut the reps down a bit? I have a tendency to always wanna go all out each workout. :) Thanks!

[@j-efaw]

I get the most results from going all out 1 time a week

[@chrisnaoum6694]

You should bring back your theme song 🎵 “you got you got pull up or shut up”🎵

[@gabrielleon971]

Great stuff honestly, but I think it's important to mention what this will achieve. If your looking to get a stronger and heavier weighted pull up great advice, I'd assume people doing this are going to like a pull up competition or looking to impress someone with pull ups or something like that. But if your a person who dosent give af about how much weight your doing and just wants the biggest back muscles you can get, the last thing on your mind is how to maximize a movement's weight, rather we shouid be focusing on full ROM ,volumes of 5-10 on pull ups and miling eccentrics and stretch underload All this extreme heavy weight for 1-3 reps eccentrics and isometric hoods are poor drivers of hypertrophy and ultimately a poor tradeoff for a person who wants a big back. So remember this advice is for people who want to get stronger and better at pull up, it's not advice for the best muscle hypertrophy gains with pull ups 😄 No hate to him, great video with great advice, just saw some people in comments talking about how great this was for muscle growth which isn't what his advice is tailored for

[@zachgoestoeuro]

What would you recommend for a weekly routine to promote muscle growth with weighted pull ups

[@STURDYSTANCE]

Thanks Austin

[@jerryreuss5755]

[@scoobtoober2975]

Is it similar to do a pull down machine. Just curious if you feel weighted pull up is better/more effective. Cheers

[@athul_here_]

[@AzadC]

Did you use cluster sets Rest pause back off sets? for improving your 1 rep max

[@ninjainthebrawl]

Hello brother, would you mind to give us trapezius muscle training with body weight training. I only have a single bar for pull up

[@iaroslavdavydiak6439]

How to programm all together? Weighted pull-ups + scapular pull-ups it is clear but when to do static hold and negative pull-ups? should it be replacement for weighted pull-ups or addition?

[@dthegreat777]

How many do you do total on your pull up day? Cause I do 100 weighted. 35lb at the moment. 5 at a time

[@bulkandbeast8195]

🔥

[@ezBlu.]

3-6 reps is good for getting a stronger pullup, although for building muscle and a fuller back I would still recommend 8-10. You will also get stronger but get more muscle on the way. And remember kids, train hard and to failure!!

[@Ratatosk80]

Been focusing lately on weighted pull ups and dips 5x5 going for strength. Seen a ton of progress. Will try these methods. Questions, so the scapula reps are used as a finisher on every set? How about the holds? I have been finishing sets by going for holds. If using 5x5 how would you add holds and negatives? As two additional sets after the 5x5 I assume? Going to give it a go in an hour when I do my workout. I guess the worry I have will be that I will exhaust the muscles so much I can't perform on the rest of my exercises for the workout if adding the scapula reps plus sets of holds and negatives.

[@alfatangel8614]

How much bw pull up you can do before you start adding weights?

[@Ratatosk80]

​@@alfatangel8614 i was at 14 before i added weight. Started with +20 kg. However i would add weight far sooner if i know what i know now. Probably i would add weight if being able to do like 10.

[@nemesyssss]

@@alfatangel8614 I added 10kg after being able to do about 8-10 ish (don't exactly know my max since at the time I was focusing on explosive pull ups). I've been doing 5x4 until I'm able to do 5x5 easily enough, then I switched to 20kg for 3x3, then progress to 4x3, 5x3, 3x4, 4x4, 5x4 and finally 3x5, 4x5, 5x5, then add 10kg again etc.

Can i practice weighted pull ups and ab excercise everyday without rest

[@dontlethimbullyyouson]

Number of sets?

[@SonGoku-zr9nc]

But how is it even possible to train weighted pullups 3 times per week? I do them on my pull days and my back muscles are sore for at least 2 days

[@NewBlueType]

How do you get such big traps? Side effect of heavy weighted pull ups, or OHP, shoulders presses or something else?

[@JoaquinEscalante-rq5bg]

I think is handstand pushups, overhead presses, shrugs, flies, etc... But overall is just genetics.

[@Lilgirl-qs2qc]

[@brendon2462]

I don't understand how you recover 100% in between workouts. Takes me a week to fully recover. I can only hit a myscle group once a week.

[@danielmillward9947]

Means you need to either train it more frequently or if you are doing a ridiculously high amount of volume in a single session, try spreading it out throughout the week 👍

[@Good_Luck11]

same here give or take a few days more or less depending on the week

[@1blackekka]

A lot of powerlifters only train once per week. Depends on genetics, intensity and other factors. I found out myself that longer rest days actually increase my strength and result rather than the typical frequent sessions. Mike Mentzer and Dorian Yates has some good advice on that as well.

[@brendon2462]

@@1blackekka I find the same thing shorter more intense workouts effective quality reps. Meant more time spent recovering and eating. I got better gains in strength and building muscle. I do strict sets and give it everything towards intensity. One top set when I'm fresh. Then back down sets and pyramid down.

[@kamalsmusic]

Is reverse pyramid training good for this?

[@mazi1597]

Personally, yes. Starting from your top weight makes your nerve system activate through the roof. The mind muscle connection instantly kicks in, and i find myself being able to pull a lot more on lower weight sets than i would doing a regular pyramid program. Just make sure you warm up first.
