Imagine doing this 10 times in a row. You'd go from 2 pull ups to 1024 pull ups.

Great Job! Your comment gives me clear picture of this program.

[@brutsgianni7084]

I am here to report that I took the training mentioned here seriously for six months with great consistency. I went from 12 pull-ups to 30! I selected three exercises and applied your method to push-ups, pull-ups, and sit-ups, and I was able to increase my sit-up count from 15 to 35 and push-up count from 35 to 80. I have been training calisthenics for 15 years and have tried various methods. Most of them eventually become boring or too exhausting to maintain throughout the week. Your method, however, is respectful to the body while still being intense. Out of all the many methods I’ve tried (over 15), I consider yours to be the best so far. I highly recommend it to any calisthenics practitioner and even made some adaptations that worked well with the method’s style. Thank you, my friend, for sharing your knowledge.

I keep coming back to your videos. :) I’d like to say that your concepts of “rep strictness” I guess, the sort of dedication to clean form that you espouse has really improved my training. I’m really seeing good changes in my physique for the first time in my early 20s. I stopped going for high intensity bad reps and started doing strict form, clean, paused or at least “deep contraction” type SLOW reps. This has changed everything for me. I think you have given me the key for what works for my body. Sorry for the rant, I really just wanted to say this video has helped me immensely.

[@johnreilly3167]

Bro don’t apologize for that epic rant 🥲 I am the exact same way. Zeroing In on perfect form, especially for things like pull-ups and push-ups, is soooooo mentally rewarding and also just effective af for improvement 🍻

[@BOCH-rum]

After trying dozens of plans to increase reps I can say this is the only plan that worked effectively for me. The only difference I made was from the advice of the current pull-up record holder. I added explosive less strict pullups into the mix. So some days I'm strict, others I'm explosive. My strict and explosive numbers have been skyrocketing.

[@Kboges]

Nice job and great modification!

[@tjj4656]

I have a report. Been following this program for 71 days. I started out with 8,7 and 6 reps respectively on the maximum rep day, and on the max rep day today I have reached 12 reps in the first set for the first time. Second and third set were 11 and 9 reps. Did all this with on average bad sleep and reasonable nutrition. It helps if you have access to some pull-up bars close by in your neighborhood. That makes the barrier to a workout a lot lower than having to go to an actual gym. My goal was to get stronger in order to be able to do a muscle-up, so that is what I am going to practice next. Many thanks!

I did this for 8 weeks and it works!!! Love this type of workout as it's simple but varied, and progress is pretty quick to see.

I will try this as soon as I return home, my maximum right now is 6 pull-ups with correct form and 8 with kipping as soon as I finish with this program I will be back to report the results. It is good that the algorithm has recommended this to me, great production and video quality I just subscribed to your channel.

in 8 weeks i went from 4 pull ups to 10, from 15 push ups to 23 and from 5 dips to 13+, i just did what he suggested. I'm going at it for another 12 weeks and my goal is 20 pull ups, 40 push ups and 20 dips. I'll update yall on Monday, July 1, 2024.

I had started doing pull ups 3 months before running this program, my base was 5 (been doing them long ago). During the first month I reached 9 pull ups and pretty much plateaued there. After reaching Plateau of 9 i started doing this program. summary: I went from 9 to 14, my weight now is 80kg when in the beginning it was 77/78, on top of that I have noticed a tremendous increase in terms of my back's endurance. Will be doing this program now but with 5/10 kg weight on me.

Hey brother I like your content very informative. I am 65 years old and right now I am doing two days a week 100 weighted pull ups it takes me over an hour cuz I rest five minutes in between sets. Two years ago I started doing pull-ups again, and I could get maybe five or six clean dead hang pull-ups then. To be fair I could always do a lot of pull-ups ever since I was a teenager. When I turn 40 I could do 40 dead hang clean pull-ups no Kipping no momentum. Right now I can do 16 clean dead hang pull up slowly pausing at the top and bottom. I noticed at my age it's more of a joint thing tickets or not my muscles. A few weeks ago I tested myself and could do 100 bodyweight pull-ups 31 minutes and 175 in 1 hour but my right shoulder joint was definitely sore after that one so I do not do that anymore. My question to you is do you think I should add a couple of pounds every two weeks even though I'm only getting maybe eight reps on my first set with 30 lb or should I go for more reps before I had weight. I usually do my workout with six sets of 30 lb then 6 sets of 20 lb finish off with 10 lb until I get to 100 is this progression helping me? My workouts are 3 days a week Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays I also lift weights military press and deadlifts and squats in between. People doing what they call Grease the groove on off days where I'm I do five to ten sets of eight reps bodyweight. But I have kind of plateaued at 16 reps body weight. I do feel like I'm getting stronger on the weighted pull-ups though. Keep up the good work God bless and stay strong. I know one thing at my age it's just as much a mental battle as it is physical

Started at 10 in week one and I'm at 15 in week 3. This plan works. I think the advantage of the plan is that you get your mechanical repetitions in on the half set sessions, and ladder sessions. This has to be the easiest way for your mind to give your body permission to do more reps.

Hello K Boges! I trained for more than a month on such a program: Monday: 3 sets to failure of pull-ups and dips Tuesday: 3 sets to failure of chin-ups and push-ups Wednesday: 10 sets of pull-ups at half max, 3 sets to failure of dips Thursday: 3 sets to failure of chin-ups and push-ups Friday: ladders pull-ups, 3 sets to failure of dips More than month results: pull-ups 11>12, dips 16 > 18, chin-ups no progress, push-ups 14>20. Why am I not making any progress on pull-ups? I can really say that there is progress in the ladders (there were 5 x 1-2-3-4, and now I can do 3 x 1-2-3-4-5 and 2 x 1-2-3-4). But my maximum reps are almost the same

[@Kboges]

My guess would be way too much volume at failure. Pull up mastery is a 3x per week program. Only 1 day is 3 sets to failure. The sub max work will be at high effort but that is the result of accumulated fatigue and the ladder day is not to failure. Try the program as written, using it as your only pulling work for the duration of the cycle, and my guess is you will do a lot better than adding a single rep to your max.

[@Jack-cp5cj]

Just finished the 8 weeks, I went from max reps 7/7/7 to 9/8/7. Not as much as I was hoping for but definitely progress after plateauing for a while. I also think my form has improved. I would recommend giving it a try! I did my pull ups first and then followed with 3 sets of push ups, dumbbell curls, dumbbell shrugs, squats and leg raises. I don't know if this hindered my progress but I didn't want to sacrifice any of the other exercises.

Hi and thanks for this program, it sounds enticing! I've just started with chin-ups (as I'd like to target my biceps) and I will definitely try this type of progression. I was wondering: would it make sense to replicate this type of work for other basic exercises? I am implementing (based on various sources) every-other-day strength training workouts, where I do push-ups, ring inverted rows, chin-ups and some isometrics. Would it be a good idea to train the other exercises (apart from isometrics) in the same style? Or is it too taxing or inefficient in any other way? What about "rotating" the other exercises type? As in : max reps for push-ups, ladder for chin-ups,... Does it make sense?

This seems so simple, I'm so glad I found this. Could I incorporate this with my normal split or is it best to be its own thing?

[@thegradschooldropout]

Question about Day 2 - was a little confused about how you discussed progression. In Week 1, Day 1 sets the rep range for Day 2, got it... but in subsequent weeks, is Day 2 still dictated by max rep range from the first day of the week, or do you stick with whatever range you set in Week 1 and add a rep if you can now prefer it for all sets? Thanks!

[@MrApetape]

Seems to be the case that you always refer to the max pull up on the current week, so that every week is always challenging enough, otherwise it wouldnt make any sense because it would lack of progressive overload. Thats the main reason that program is so effectiv and it shows good results in a kind of short time.

[@cybermanne]

First week you use 50% of the maxreps from day 1 as a starting point on how many reps you can do for 10 sets with just 1 min rest. If you managed to do all 10 sets with the target number of reps (remember to not rest more than 1 min) then you can increase the target number of reps with +1 for this session for the next week. If you couldn't even do 4-5 sets with the target number of reps you would decrease the target number of reps for next week by -1. If you were able to do 5-9 sets you keep the reps until you can do 10 sets. If it feels like 10 sets were nothing and you could do 20 sets with the target number of reps, you could maybe increase by +2 for next week. But there really isn't much need to rush it like that. It will get tough enough really quick anyway. It seems like this program is based off of a classic pullup program called "armstrong pullup program". You can find it online on various sites if you wanna read more.
