Ive been working on pull ups since the beginning of my weight loss and fitness journey. I know I wont be able to do a full one for a long long time due to how overweight I am, but Im working on building up that strength anyways. I started back in January and was at my highest weight at 325lbs - 5'10". I couldn't even hold onto the bar, I just immediately would fall off. Now, at 257lbs, I'm able to hang anywhere from 10 to 20 seconds depending on if it's a good day or not, and that is absolutely mind blowing to me! I can't wait until the day I can do a full pull up, and these progressions are going to help a ton! Thank you so much!
This is amazing, I'm so proud of you too! Well done :). Definitely try the bodyweight rows and leg assisted pull ups I'm sure you will be able to do those soon! Can't wait to hear your progress xxxx
@@Nebulousss unfortunately not, I've regressed a bit, but I've accepted the fact that these kinds of endeavors arent exactly linear and I cant wait to get back to it :) To be specific, I've been hovering around the low 260s for months now and have kinda fallen off the exercise wagon. Circumstances made things difficult, but those are changing soon so I am hopeful 😊
@@OhMisfit i hope you will find your workout grove again soon. There are some great free workouts and communities online these could help in your journey! Keep going! Good for you for starting!
Lucy, over the past 2 years with the help of your channel I have lost around 50 lbs and set goals to learn calisthenics, do push ups, pulls ups and handstands. You motivate and inspire me with every video. Thank you kindly for all you do and I can't wait to get your e book!
I learned to do a pull-up after about 1.5 months of training in our local park, after the city installed outdoor fitness equipment there. I'm always there with my kids, and spent the first month staring suspiciously at the pull up bars from the playground before I got up the courage to give it a go. I spent most of my training doing lots of letting myself down in progressively more controlled ways.
From zero pull up to 10 pull up now. Likes what u say enjoy the workout is more important than anything. Great to view your youtube from Day 1 and no rush just step by step.
I really appreciated what you said in the beginning, appreciate being a beginner. I’ve been training consistently for a about a month now, so I appreciate the morale boost.
Yes! Got a pull up bar few weeks ago and cant wait to get this looks-so-simple-seems-impossible-excercise to be done 🔥. Thank you so much for this video, this is what I needed! Hope you'll fine soon!
I'm just starting with holding the bar and lifting my feet off the ground a couple of inches. It's so hard! But I'm also overweight and 46 years old, so I expect it to be hard. Your videos are so helpful, thank you for being so genuine!
Love this!!the tips are so helpful, I learnt to do a pull-up over quarantine after getting a bar on my doorframe and I’m so happy. You really inspired me to push myself and build strength Hope your injury gets better soon 🤍
I am a beginner.. I started with the band ASTD pull up.. I did only 1 rep and the set was 11 pull ups.. I felt a rush of adrenaline.. I needed 5 rest days before I could go back to the gym.. You do you guys.. you don't have to start from the beginning.. Although I think it's wise to do so.. XD
Very inspirational! I'm folloing you for a while now, and i really like your content! You keep it realistic for beginners, like myself :) Keep up the good work!! I am training to do one pull up by the end of this month, and i'm using these excercises, i'll see how it goes :)
This is very helpful, thanks so much! I realized from your video i'm not doing the rows fully, cause i sort of stop in the middle but you pulled up all the way till your hands touch the chest. Will try to do that! 😅
Hello from Taiwan. I I like exercise in the park and I do not like to go to the gym and I am setting myself a goal of pulling myself up on the bar one day as you did. I am on the stage of being able to pull myself up maybe 1mm. Haha! I really like your idea of using own body weight for weight training because then you are free to exercise anytime anywhere. Thank you.
Now I really want to learn it too lol. Might have to get a pull-up bar to put on a doorframe. I would love to be able to do it. I just fear I am still too heavy to do it
Hi, Lucy. Fab video. I can see you’ve got yourself a decent squat rack with pull-up bar. Where did you source it from? I tried Amazon UK but most options look either too flimsy or way over the top (the so called ‘power rigs’). Also, most stand alone pull-up or dip stations only have a fixed-height bar which is hardly suitable for my 2.4 m ceilings. Any suggestions?
Hello Lucy, I have a question on building up strength to do pull-ups: do you have any advice on how to strengthen the fingers, because, even when I try to hang on the bar it is not the arm muscles, but my fingers that give out first. Is there any way to prep them gradually? Thanks
Hi it's been my lockdown goal to get one full pull up. I seem to have lost some strength whereas before I could at least get to 90 degrees now i struggle. What do you think has gone wrong?
I don't have any of these equipments. But there are some at a public green park near my place but my god! It feels so embarrassing to go there and try bc I look like a dead fish struggling and shaking on the stand
Lucy, I have a bunch of questions. I’m guessing this bar is adjustable? Also, will it hold 13.7 stone? And where did you get it? Love the videos. Appreciate it immensely!
Hey Thomas! It is adjustable, it's a squat rack with pull up bar that I bought on Amazon by a company called Pull Up Fitness. It will definitely hold 13.7 stone. My boyfriend is an 18 stone rugby player and it holds him fine! Hope that helps :) x

I just want to say, that by now I'm able to do 2-3 straight pull ups! Don't give up everybody 💪
I've been working on getting my first pull up for a couple months now. I can do some negatives but it's SO HARD. Hopefully I will get there one day :)
You got this! It really is hard, you've got this though!! xx
Are you able to do a pull up now?
Perfect timing for this video! We installed our pull-up bar just two days ago. I did 3 or 4 negatives and I already had a super hard muscle ache :D
Amazing!! Love it xx

Thank you, Lucy! All the progressions and exercises to strengthen the muscles needed for the pull-up are so useful.

When Lucy was finally able to reach the top of her pull up. She became Lucy in the sky with diamonds 😜

This is very helpful, thanks so much! I realized from your video i'm not doing the rows fully, cause i sort of stop in the middle but you pulled up all the way till your hands touch the chest. Will try to do that! 😅
Awesome!! Glad it helped! Let me know how the rows go! 🤗🤗

Thanks so much, new follower here
I just bought a pull up bar because of you
Really helpful! Thank you very much 🤗❤️
Thank you!! xxx
This content is so good
OMYYY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO CREATE YOUR OWN TAKE ON THIS. ❤️
Yayyyy thank you! Xx
I feel ya. I was up to 10 pullups.....but due to a shoulder injury, I'm now back to 2
I started doing explosive pullups until I finally learned muscle ups
Killing it!
its funny i was able to do it on rings before the bar lol
This was SO helpful, thank you!
I'm so happy, thank you!! xxx
Now I really want to learn it too lol. Might have to get a pull-up bar to put on a doorframe. I would love to be able to do it. I just fear I am still too heavy to do it
Start slowly and build up from there! There is no timeline and every little helps, you'll smash it
Update: Bought a pull-up bar. Can only do a passive hang with a little assistance (keeping on toe on the floor) for now.
@@AnniM88 how are you doing now?
So inspiring! Where can you get a stand alone bar like this? I can only find door ones?
Mine is from Amazon! If you search for squat racks with pull up bars you should find some xx
OMG! Yes, thank you for doing this. I've been looking for a video like this.
Yay thank you!! X

Great stuff Lucy. Love from Cheshire. Xx
Heya where is your squat rack from ?
Which molecule is your pendant? It looks like Dopamine (but with an extra bond?)
Its adrenaline! ☺️
Hi Lucy, do you reccomend doing passive hangs in the beginning of your workout or it doesn't matter? Thank you :)

Thanks Lucy! I’m working towards my first pull up and getting something like this will help towards that goal
Wow this is hard!
Hi, do you have the link to buy your "pull-up" station? thx!

Where can I buy the pull up station ?
What do you call this equipment you have there ?
I can do a negative pull up for like 4 or 5 seconds.Is that considered a rep??
hi... Do you suggest calesthinics will help if i do not want to be left with loose skin after my weight loss journey
i feel like im being held back from palm pain more than my strength. anyone have tips on reducing the pain ?
I'm so weak I need to get strong

Around 7-8 months x
