      Thanks for the reply. I think a lot of it was natural talent when I was younger. I didn’t particularly do anything special, although, as a kid, I did do gymnastics.
      Now, as an old fart, I train very hard. My technique is to use weighted pull ups and cycle the weights to a heavy single every 6 weeks or so. After I’ve gone as heavy as I can I then ditch the weights and attempt as many reps as I can. On my last cycle I attached 30 kilos and managed 2 reps. On my next session I just repped out and got 21.

    For those who have been strugling with pullups: don't give up, train consistently and you WILL improve.
    I started training 1 year ago as a total beginner and couldn't do a single pullup. I can do 10 in a row now (with good form) and in a good session I do ~50 total.
    I hit a plateau at 7 pullups and found that cardio helped a lot.

      This clip doesn't take your weight into consideration. There are bodybuilders with huge lats that can't do more than 10-12 pullups, because they're heavy.
      I've been training for 2 years (I'm 39) and started from 0 pullups and plateaued at 9-10 reps (for more than a year now). I'm 186cm (6ft1) and weight is 92kg (~200lbs). Highly doubt I'll ever reach 20reps, because when I started I weighted 80kg (~180lbs). So even though my strength increased , my bodyweight catches up.

    I used to be able to do between 25-30 pullups. No kipping, no crossfit swinging crap. Just up and down, arms locked chin over the bar. But my back didn't look anywhere near what yours does. So I had to re-evaluate why I was doing them and what I was getting out of them. Now I focus entirely on proper form with complete disregard for numbers. My sets are usually between 6-10. They are slow, controlled, back muscles completely engaged. I'm seeing more progress doing them this way. People need to be honest with what they are looking for. More reps or more hypertrophy. There may be crossover between the two but the way you train will dictate your results.

    I started the program being 6'3", 195lbs (191cm, 88kg) and could do 10 pull-ups in one set with good form after training them on and off for several years. It's been about 8 months and I am currently trying to successfully complete week 4 with 3 minutes rest between sets.
    Since I started I have lost about 10lbs or around 5kg, and my max pull-ups is now 15.
    Weighted pull-ups have helped me, along with doing a lot of pyramid structured workouts, and doing the workouts i could complete in this program consistently. Toning up and losing weight has also helped. Through general consistency in diet and exercising 5-6x a week, my bodyfats gone from about 15% to around 12%.
    I think doing 20 solid reps in 1 set is by no means "beginner", and the vast majority of people won't get there in 6 weeks. However, following these milestones have helped me progress to doing more pull-ups than ever, and I believe I'll be able to get to 20 one day if I stay consistent.

I just started adding pull ups to my routine (with a decent warm-up I can do 6 full pull-ups), but I find that after my leg routine (30 squats, 30 lunches and 50 mountain climbers) I am quite struggling with set 4-6 in the 6x5 reps pull up session.
    Should I do your suggested pull up routine on its own or do you have tips how to incorporate it in a full body work out? Thanks!

    I made a program for myself and went from 5 pull ups to 15 pull ups in 3 months. Maybe that's not much for some. But I never thought I would be able to do 15 pull ups.
    Now I do 130 pull ups per workout, but I change it every 2 weeks.
    But the secret to do more pull ups is to work on the 3 methods(strength/explosiveness/endurance)
    In 1 week, I do 1 strength training, 1 explosiveness training and 1 endurance training.
    For strength I do weighted pull ups (low reps high weights)
    For explosiveness I do high pulls (low reps high pulls)
    For endurance I do 10 sets of 80% of my max pull ups.

    As a whiplash survivor. I suffer neck pain daily. When I wake in the morning, I have a decision to make: either I work out and hurt a lot for an hour, Ior, I suffer all day. So, that was my motivation for pull-ups. What I found is that 100 pull-ups daily has brought my neck pain down to a much more manageable level.
    On my non pull-up days, I do fifty pull-ups on a 3” fat bar, and 50 from finger tip grips. They are helping my grip strength for deadlifts.
    So how did it happen?
    On Feb 3, 2018, I could not do a single pull-up.
    On Feb 3, 2019, I could do 43 pull-ups in a set.
    On Feb 3, 2020, I could do 53 pull-ups in a set
    My goal was to reach 60-60-60: 60 pull-ups in 60 seconds on my sixtieth birthday on March 20, 2020. On my 60th birthday, I managed to complete 60 pull-ups in 65seconds.
    I work at least six days a week as a veterinarian. My day usually starts between 7 and 8 am, and finishes between 9 and 10 pm.
    If I can do it, then anyone can.
    Great subject matter. Well presented.

    2nd too.
    3rd workout: the last 2 sets were a little harder but finally 2 days rest now
    Week 2: (4x6) -
    1st workout: was pretty tough. Didn´t manage to do 4x6 but 6-6-5-4-3. Did the last 3 on top to keep the volume the same
    2nd workout: some progress... managed to do 6-6-5-5-2 this time
    3rd workout: Managed to perform 6-6-6-5-(20s rest)1
    Week 3: (6x5) -
    1st workout: 5-5-5-5-4-4
    2nd workout: 5-5-5-5-5-5
    3rd workout: 5-5-5-5-5-4
    Week 4: (3x8-10) -
    1st workout: 7-7-5-3
    2nd workout:7-6-6-4
    3rd workout: 7-6-5-4
    I really didn´t manage to do 3x8 in week 4, so I did as many reps as possible in the 1st 3 sets and then did a 4th set for a little but more volume.
    Week 5: (2x10-12) -

    Each new training week should start after 2 days rest , so your training days for each week of the above program should be Mon,Wen,Fri , or Tue,Thur,Sat , then 2 days rest (you can do leg exercises of course or abs and pushups on all the other 4 days of the week, but not trying to progress on the numbers of the other exercises , just do maintenance mode , when you finish the 6 weeks of your pullups then you can switch attention to increasing your pushups for example)

      just take steroids than you'll see its really not that hard to gain it in 6 weeks to 20.I also do pullups(I'm not an athleth(as my job) or professional sport man) so yee me too also been at around 10 pull ups for years, and that just need practice to maintain that even(I'm over 30) I can do on fresh days maybe 12, normally its 10 pullups and its been like that for years

      Start with weighted pull ups, i went from 14-20 in 3-4 weeks, i do not think you will progress as fast as i did, but it was definitely effective! Give it a shot!

      Three great techniques to build really basic pull-up strength: practice switching between "active hang" and "passive hang," there are some great guides for that on youtube; try "eccentric" or "reverse" pull-ups, where you use a stool or box to step up into the top of the pull-up, then practice lowering yourself through the motion as slow as you can; and give some attention to your shoulder stability and mobility - I found that robust shoulders were the key to pull-ups. Cheers!

    I'm gonna try this challenge and I thought it would be fun to share my progress here (not much to do during qurantine). I will write something every week. At the start max was around 8 or 9.
    - Week 1: I just finished the first week. It wasn't hard, I think that today the last set felt easier than the other days.
    - Week 2: Just did the last workout of the second week and it was really hard. The first 2 workouts of the week were hard but i managed to finish them correctly. In the last workout (today) I did the first 2 sets with 10 reps (I struggled using perfect form with the last ones) but in the last one I couldn't do more than 6, I was very tired. To compensate I did the last 4 as negatives and than I added a set of 6 to get over 30 repetitions. I hope this is ok, I tried really hard but I just couldn't do more. As I am now 20 reps seems impossible to get in just a month.
    - Week 3: This week felt easier than the last one. I struggled a bit today trying to get 8 reps each set and in the last one I took some seconds to rest while hanging. Yet I think I could not get more than 10/11 reps but we will see next week with the 3 sets of 10-12.
    - Week 4: I've had neck pain, i tried to do the first workout but the pain got worse so I decided to rest this week. While resting I thought about my goals and I understood that doing 20 pull ups in a row isn't one of them. My goals are to get stronger and to unlock the front lever so I decided to stop with this workout and start with weighted pull ups and more specific front lever training. It makes no senso to do a workout that you don't enjoy. My advice is set specific goals that you really want to achieve and go after them. Anyway I tested my max and it increased to 12 at last. Maybe I will try my max again after some time with weighted pull ups ad see if I got to 20.

    Checking the video out today. My max is currently at 12 reps, with arms straight at the bottom and chin over the bar at the top. However, that is an RPE 10 set, ofc. Let us consider the "training max" to be 10. Will post any updates here.
    Also, in the meantime, I would really appreciate any advice on what is to be done after completing a cycle of this workout, in the sense that I do not hope to get to 20 in just 6 weeks, obviously. How about increasing one rep on all the sets and run the program again, cutting out any later sets if the volume is going over 40?
