Why do Pull Ups?

[@gngn2973]

I couldn't even do 1 pull up 9 months ago. Now Im doing sets of 1 emom for 20 minutes with a 40lbs weight vest. You're right it does feel really good when you take the weight off it makes you feel so light.

How much did your body weight Max pull ups go up?

[@troy3456789]

@@peterkrinke3855 This. I want to know too.

[@gngn2973]

@@peterkrinke3855 well I been doing it for about 3 weeks now I was doing 4 reps and now im over 10 easily. but i am also doing other things like adding weight to my pull ups. regardless this is just what works for me. You need to try things out and see what works for you. NOTE: I only do pullups at MOST 2 times a week.

Why do you do that grip?

[@zakymaa]

Nice video. What is your HR reaching during this high intensity pull ups?

[@MichaelEckert]

My guess is like 160-170

[@zakymaa]

Ok. That’s make sense. In this case I am not working enough. I can do a max of 5 pull-ups only and I reach 125 BPM only. Thanks.

[@I-am-Joe-Po]

Michael, how much time it took between 45 to 135?

[@SomeKidFromBritain]

In your opinion, what % of bodyweight and for how many reps should someone be able to do a lat pull down to be able to do pull ups.

[@troy3456789]

Lat pull-downs are similar, but not the same as pullups and they are not a substitute for pullups. There's a bunch of KZbin fitness gurus that go over the differences. Most seem to talk about the fact that pullups require a great deal more core strength than lat pull-downs. I think they can be used to warm up or to help improve latisimus dorsi strength. What I discovered is that pull-ups use those muscles, but seem to focus more on forearm muscle strength. He talks about core strength required for control in pull-ups.

80% weighed sure

[@peterkrinke3855]

How do you get your max up

[@gngn2973]

I think doing emom is the thing that helped me improve the most. That is sets that are done Every Minute On the Minute. So doing 1-2 reps for 12-20 minutes means your volume will be 12-40 reps in that short amount of time. Your body gets used to doing higher volumes that way. When you start failing on your reps just continue to do negatives instead of full reps.

[@coleboychuck500]

Another tip from Michael that helped me a few years ago was doing hangs/weighted hangs at 3 levels. All the way up, arms 90°, and arms slightly bent. Do each for as long as you can after a few sets of pull ups/weighted pull ups.

[@coleboychuck500]

Another thing is just doing sets of weighted pull ups. Keep track then after a few consistent weeks just go for that extra 5 or 10lbs. You’ll be surprised that you can actually do a few reps with the extra weight

180 lbs his max

[@kramkalisthenics]

Sarge = super elite level (doesn't need to breathe!). LOL Love pull-ups! My most challenging of the 3 basic movements. I'm 66 trying to perfect my form. Recent max with 5 lbs. 11 kinda fugly but honest reps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5u7Z5qsaqaIqcUsi=frflm6KXwtWEkMn6
