    I turned 40 last year and realized i couldnt do pullups anymore. That was a wake up call. I started dieting and exercising with the goal of reaching 10. A year later and im down 50lbs, and can easily do 10, and do 5 sets of 10 a few times a week. Watching this video makes me want to see what my max is when i hit the gym tomorrow. If you get into your 40s and wake up and wonder why you feel sick and tired, and where all the weight came from, you can turn it around.

      10 is sort of easy on my first set. Steady, clean, all the way down and up. After that, it gets harder and a little sloppier to be honest. I always stop at 10, so maybe I should try to see how many I can do. I probably can't do many more than 10 clean, so maybe 15? I'll try Monday.

    • @glenc2353
      @glenc2353 Год назад +2

      When I was 240lbs last year and couldn't do more than a couple, it was disappointing. I'm 40 years old and 6'3". Shouldn't be that hard. Now that I'm 185lbs, it's easier not pulling up all that weight. I think my calorie deficit is hindering my strength though. I noticed my endurance is up, but I lift less than I did a while ago. Also, I lift fasted, so maybe that's a factor. I don't know. This whole fitness journey is new to me, so there is so much to learn.

    I’m working on powerlifting now, but for a while I was doing calisthenics in a park. One morning, an elderly man (70+) in an SUV pulled up just as I was about to leave. I watched him get out of his car, walk slowly over to the bar, and do five perfect pull ups. It gave me the chills and I don’t think I’ll ever forget that. I see too many people using age as an excuse, who are decades younger than the man at the park.

    • @rikmoran3963
      @rikmoran3963 Год назад +46

      I don't think they are using age as an excuse. I think they genuinely believe that they are too old to train. As you get older, people are constantly telling you that you are too old to do certain things and if you hear it enough times you start to believe it. I used to be extreme;y fit when I was younger, but my health had reached a very low point as I headed into my fifties due to long working hours, injuries and general neglect. I used to struggle to get out of chairs, up stairs etc. Due to an issue with my legs I had to start doing some physio exercises and within 3 months I no longer had issues getting out of chairs etc. I feel motivated to do more training, as I feel like I did 15-20 years ago. It makes me wonder about older people who you see struggling to stand up and if they could improve the quality of their lives if someone took the trouble to help them exercise. I believe that exercising when you get older is probably more important than when you are younger, when you already have a degree of fitness.

    I loved this video! Wish I had been there. I'm a woman, and it took me three months of training to get my first pull-up of my life. I was 36 at the time. I didn't know it was possible for women to do pull-ups. I have a clear memory of my freshman year of high school: Our gym teacher had the girls go up to the pull-up bar one by one for the physical fitness exam. Not even one girl from the class could do a pull-up--even our school's star athlete who was a state swimming champion. She got halfway up and was kicking as if she could swim the rest of the way up. Everyone was rooting for her and laughing at her at the same time. Even she couldn't do it.
    Finally at 36 years old, 22 years later, I was able to complete one pull-up and three consecutive chin-ups. One of the proudest moments of my life.

One day our squadron busted out some jump ropes and I thought, "I haven't jumped rope in a decade, but my cardio is off the charts so this should be cake." To my surprise, I was gassed after about two minutes. It's amazing how your body adapts, but only to the specific thing it's used to. I learned that, in the world of fitness, being good at something similar is not always translatable, which is why I (unpopularly) respect the hell out of crossfit athletes.

    60 year old man here. My standard bodyweight is 17 pullups then hang at the top and do 1 more. Took me 1 year and a half to do 8 pullups with 40 lbs weights before I could do those 18 with bodyweight. These are all done non stop and with correct form. I was motivated with those guys in the park on utube.

      Just turned 57 last month. I do 5 sets of 10 wide arm pullups. No kipping. And, not to exhaustion because I want good, clean reps. Hum, I wonder what I could max on. No, I'm not bragging. But, a man of average height and weight should be able to do one measly pullup.

I spend a lot of my days now doing upper strength work outs and am confident I can do at least five now and im proud of that

Blue states, especially their mega cities, are basically hellhole without biblical fire. They portrayed it as the ultimate American dream, while cowboys in rural Midwest and down South are much better human beings, just the media portrayed them as either uncivilized hillbilly, Amish, or inbreds.

Never give up, trust me, it's never too late and doing 3 to 5 pull up is not that hard.Just developed good habits and seek the advice of people who have already conquered the objectives you are after.
