    I am 73 yr old woman and I do banded pull-ups, inverted and some negative pull-ups every week. But this schedule will really help me get to be able to do them without assistance. When I was 60 I could do 6. Want to get back there and more. Thanks.

    For the 3 or something people seeing this, do not give up man, I have been working for an year on doing just one pull up and today I finally did my first 10 pull ups.
    I started out with barely being able to do 5 push ups and made my way up to doing the 100 push ups a day back in summer of 2020. I did try doing pull ups.
    After about 5 months I went out with a friend that was able to do 5-10 pull ups and when I tried i couldn't even come close to doing 1 rep.
    I began working hard and I really wanted to be as good as that friend. 3 months before my first pull up I wanted to prove to my dad that I'm serious and I can achive a goal.
    I bought a resistance band (35kg) and i could barely do 3 reps with it.
    After a couple of week of doing pull ups with the resistance band I just grabbed a bar and did a pull up with no problem.
    But I wasn't able to do more than one.
    I continued to work and after a couple more weeks of doing abs work out, push ups and pull ups (with resistance band) I was able to do 2 pull ups (doing them for normal reps, even tho my record was 5 and I couldn't do more than it.)
    After doing 2 reps of 10 sets every day for like 3-4 days I was able to do 3 reps of 10 sets and after 4-5 days ofthat I'm able to do 5 reps of 10 sets.
    Today I finally achived my goal of 10 pull ups (the other goal is a muscle up, but that would be a lot harder)
    So don't give up. Trust me. You got this.

    I never normally never comment but this helped me go from 0 to 2 in a few WEEKS. I have been training my back since before I can remember but when i started to implement the kneeling lat pull downs and scap pulls, I saw tremendous improvement. If you need to get your reps up and fast, incorporate what he says into your workout schedule and you will see results.

  • @terryschnake3258
    @terryschnake3258 4 года назад +60

    What I learned: 1. The importance of kneeling pull downs, an exercise I have never done. 2.The unique advantages of the inverted pull up, an exercise I rarely do because of the availability of a cable rowing station. 3. The inherent disadvantage of the assisted pull up machine, a favorite of mine with beginner clients. That's Jeremy's knowledge quality in his videos.

    My dude Jeremy! I watched this video almost 2 months ago and i could only do 1 proper pullup with correct form and 2 more but incorrect form. Been doing those negatives and scapular pullups 2x a week and now i could do 5 pullups with proper form! You are by far the best of the best here in youtube!
    Ive been watching other pullups from other channels but i just couldnt add more pullups. Your detailed explaination of doing pullups especially the 2 phases of pullups and pulling shoulders back and down made a huge difference! Thanks Jeremy!

    Just wanted to thank you for your wise advice on pull-ups. I was struggling to to 3 series of five pull-ups (not even full but getting down to 3/4), never being able to go above that after many months.
    By following your program, I unlocked my pull-ups. The scapular training really made the difference.
    After 12 sessions, I am able now to do 3 series of 10 pull ups (3/4 descent), and I've validated 3 series of 7 pull ups (full movement). I'm planning to get to 3 x 10 (full move) in about 2 or 3 weeks.
    So, this is definitively a video to watch and a method to apply.

    I was wondering why my tummy muscles hurts, when I did pull ups a day after I did my first ad wheel session. This video clears that up.

    I'm 34, and I couldn't do a single pull up. Thanks to this video, I am now @ 10 sets of 8 reps per day. I have one rest day per week and every third week I take two consequtive rest days. One of the six days I add weight. Currently adding 7kg for 5 rep sets.
    Thanks Jeremy, your videos are the best.

    I used to be able to do pull ups as a teen. At 25, I can barely do 6 clean pull ups. For some illogical reason I’ve stopped doing them out of embarrassment. Thanks for this guide, Jeremy! I can’t wait to try out this routine.

    Pull Ups are for sure the ones that helped me get my back muscle development and strength as for you! Great exercise for a bodyweight training!

    I did flying trapeze for a year. After that was able to knock out 11-12 pullups in a set without thinking about it.
