Thanks to you too Daniel! Between Calimove and FitnessFAQs, there is no deficit of quality information for the vigilant learner - you guys have helped us all tremendously!
I'm a 71 yr old ex-Marine. Pullups use to be a permanent part of our PT workouts...of course that was back in the late 60's. Right now, I'm glad to do just one...maybe. I like this video because I believe that this is a method to help me get back on track. If you have any other advice for older men and women, it would be appreciated.
I cannot do pull up in my entire life.. then i start working out . Diet . Loss fat. Now im able to do 3 pull up. Im so happy. I never achieve this in my life. I hope one day i can do 10 pull up.

Alright, starting this tomorrow 2022/05/14 - will report my results after 9 weeks (8 week program plus a rest week). Current max is 8 pullups or 3 reps with 10kg added.
Holy crap I did not expect this much of a result. Only up to 10 max pullups, but 1 rep max for weighted is up from about 13kg to 23kg (maybe more, haven't pushed it super hard) and 20kg for 3 reps. Core strength is also way up. Climbing 2 grades harder than I was before. 1000% recommend this!
Amazing workout! Here's my progress: Day one: 10 pull ups Max 4 weeks later: 14 pull ups Max I'm still in The middle of the program, But i really fell the progress every week, see you in four More weeks, greetings from México ❤
the best pull up program i tried so far i was stuck at 7-8 pull ups after this plan i went to 14 pull ups. but be careful not to do the mistake i did which focusing only on pull ups this will create imbalances, do rows, pushups and dips etc ...for a balanced workout, your shoulders and posture will thank you later
I went from 18 to 26 pull-ups in 8 weeks. Starting Aug 26 and finishing today Oct 27. Also gained 8 kg (from 70 to 78, I was doing other minor activities too though, so not just pull-ups). I liked this program because it's quite diverse and I never felt bored. Technique: I don't do perfect form, but I do decent enough, so full down with shoulder blades out and up until chin is over, legs are moving a little and when I go down I get a little bounce up (be careful with shoulders though, warm up properly). Diet: I am skinny and could never bulk up, this time I decided to focus just on protein to get my 70g+ of it (my weight) daily. Proportion was 1 beef to 2 fish meals, so usually 3 in total daily. My secret is to eat just the meat/fish with nothing else and then if I am still hungry finish with whatever I want, so I enjoyed every meal I had! When I tried to bulk up some time ago I was eating too much carbs and the result was just stomach ache and a constant desire to throw up. Over time improvement: Max5: 75 -> 150 Lock-in: 5 -> 9 Pyramid: 13 -> 16 After lock-in training I usually had some strength to train one arm pull ups and hurt my left arm tendon in the process, so I had to stop it and focus just on the program. I don't know if I will continue the program, but if I do, I will probably get a weight vest. As pyramid training, for example, takes about 1hr to complete (with 20s per rep rest increment). --- Raw notes (I rarely skipped a training, so if you see max5 -> pyramid, I just didn't take notes of lock-in. also 1 week I couldn't go to where the bar is, so was doing push ups instead): Aug 25 max5 75 - (6:18pm-6:43pm) + 7-4-2-2 7:04 Sep 2 max5 5:27-5:42pm 40 Sep 7 pyramid pyramid - 13 full 7 finish Sep 10 max5 6:28-35pm: 30 6:35-42pm: 60 (60th hard) 6:46 78 6:49 88 total Sep 14 pyramid pyramid 13 full (9-13 with re attach) + 11 with reattach Sep 16 22 max! new record Sep 18 max5 muscle up!

Back then I was only able to do 2 -3 pull ups in very bad form ( chin did not clear the bar). Now I'm on phase 8 of Level 2 - Complete Calisthenics program and can do 8 weighted pull ups (+10kg). Thank you so much! Highly recommended for everyone.
8 Weeks later, here i am ! It was really challenging, and i did my best, even though my progress may not seem that impressive. When i started this, i was barely able to do 5 pull ups, but honestly, i did not feel my scapula or lats working... Pull ups were putting pressure on my arms mostly and if i tried to ignore it, my shoulders were always there to remind me how bad my form of execution was. And it was really frustrating, because i was already triyng to do more pull ups several months before this video came out. I'm now able to do 10 pull ups with a decent form, and within these pull ups i mean 7 with a good form, focused on the back, and 3 others a little bit less. I could do some more pull ups, but the quality would then drop too low to be safe/satisfying. For workout A, i went then from 25 reps in 9min50s to 57 reps in 17min50s (and i consider this last workout like a failure, because i went too hard on the beginning, wasting my energy for the last repetitions...) For workout B, i went from 3/4/4/4/4 reps with a medium assisted elastic band, to 5x5 reps without elastic assistance (i added negative front lever to this workout too, even if i'm faaaar from getting it) For workout C, i went from a 37 pull up pyramid to a 53 climbing only pull up pyramid (i'm kinda disappointed because then again it was hard at my last workout to climb higher than 7 reps, after 6 series of at least 4 reps) Today, i don't feel that much strong, but i know that i'm better than i was back then and i want to progress again and again ! I would like to be able to do pull ups with a good form while lesting my body, but that's a far away goal for now.. :) What i think now about this challenge : It's GREAT, because it made me plan how much reps i got to do for several future workout. I had to establish a line to try to respect the most precisly i could, and i knew each time i went to workout, what i had to do (number of reps, what exercise...) Before this i used to only write how much reps i did last workout, but now imma write how many reps i gotta do next workouts too ! Plus, the diversity of workout made it a little bit funnier to follow, like : Oh ! Today is Workout C day, i gotta be strong cause it's the hardest ! (for me at least ahah) However, now i feel like i can train with more freedom, so i'll change my routine for now and i hope it will make me get stronger faster ! I will still train my back 3 times a week, but i'll now try to do classic workouts, because i think i can do enough pull ups to do it ! (Before this challenge, i would have only be able to do 4 series of 3 reps of pull ups, 2 times a week... impossible to make progress) I'll then train classic pull ups and australian pull ups (50 minutes) 2 times a week, and train my negative pull ups and front lever (30 minutes) 1 time a week (also with 2 push ups/dips workout and 1 legs workout / week) For motivating me these 8 past weeks, and inspiring the next weeks, i'd like to thank you a lot for this video, among plenty other good ones, Calisthenicmovement ! Keep up the good work ! :)
@@alwaultra ... i always laugh when i read comments like yours. i think, well, i know laziness, because i'm an expert at it, but to be overwhelmed by too many words to read. That's taking it to new level!
I read it all! Very inspiring. I like how it helped you focus and build on the quality of reps. I did this for 4 weeks back in Sept 2020, then life happened. Helped me from 0 to 3 max. Your story makes me want to try again.
@@nandanvaidya2266 Awesome, congratulation! I've decide to give it a try, some variation can't be too bad. Started today with my current max of 9 so 45 in total and finished with 13 min
Hey guys! I'm a little bit late since I started the challenge a little late and had to do a week of deload but here's my progress... I started with 10 rep max, 11th was not counted since my chin didn't clear the bar. 8 weeks later, my max is now 16 reps. Had to stop because i was already tired in terms of grip strength/endurance. But I think if I also trained my grip strength/endurance, I think I can reach 17 reps. Just a little side note. I was only training twice a week cause I have to account for my body's recovery speed since I do not have a proper diet nor any vitamins and supplements cause I only come from a poor family. I don't know if my results are great or just normal but hey! any progress is great progress. Hope everyone did great as well in this 8 week challenge. If you have questions just let me know. Cheers!
Excellent video! We are both in our 80's and are all about healthy aging. Getting older does have to mean getting sicker. We still strive for a strong body, a calm mind, & a positive outlook. Always looking to learn more. Thanks!
Very nicely explained. Will check in after 8 weeks. Current status can’t do one pull up. Am doing assisted for last one month but obviously no real progress made. This workout of yours gives me renewed confidence.
Same, 5 pull ups on overhand grip, bit more on other grips. I want to be able to do 10 before the end of the year. Honestly really motivated me seeing your comment there, cheers and good luck.
I would like to join you, guys. Today is 23/08, I'll share my results on 18/10. Currently, my overhand max is 6 reps, underhand - 9 reps. I hope to achieve 15 reps at both grips by the end of this challenge. I wish us all good luck!
The workout at 6:50 gave me great benefit. I used to only be able to do 6-7 reps of pull ups on my first set, but I already hit 10 reps on my first set after 3 weeks of applying that workout. Take in I only do pull ups once a week on back day not as frequently as they suggest.
I started attempting pull up after seeing this video 6 months ago.. When I started hanging from the ledge(didn't have a pull up bar) my arms felt like filling with battery🔋 acid after 4 seconds. Today I did a perfect form pull up from the ledge.. Thanks Calimove👍
After 5 weeks of doing it with the assistance of rubber bands. Without being even remotely close to consistent. I managed to do my first unassisted pullup!!! I never thought my arms could ever manage to pull my own overweight body! Now I'm going to finish the 8 weeks to see how many I can do in a row.
Try checking FitnessFAQs for the shoulder mobility exercises. If you can do that easily, they should be great warmups. Trust me, they're not easy. That should be a great measurement for your readiness for the proper pullups.
watching reps at half speed is a serious game changer, you can check the dominant chain and also check minor differences of contraction. Very informative, watching this channel at half speed has taught me alot more than any other channel.
Love these videos. I tried the 3 sets of 8 pull ups every 2 days and you do negatives for all the pull up you couldn't do. Which for me was all of them starting out. With in two months I was doing all sets of regular pull up, no negatives needed.
I started pull up on August 7, i.e. my birthday. I was 102kg and I was not able to do a single pull up. I started pull up with support of 8 plates i.e. 40kg support. Once I reached 20 pullups in first set I reduced one plate support to 7 and it went on. On November end, I was able to do one pull up without any weight support. And today as on January 17, 2021, I am able to do 8 pull ups. I do 10 sets, 4 times a week with sequence Monday pullups, Tuesday Chinups, Wednesday rest; Thursday Pullups and Friday Chinups and then followed two days rest. 10 sets in each day gave me a lot of endurance. I can do 8 pullups or chin ups in first set and 4 in all the following sets. It makes overall a good count. My weight is reduced go 98kg i.e. still I am heavy but pretty much defined with muscles growth. Why I couldn't reduce weight, because of my eating habits. So far so good experience.
The information on this channel is just fantastic. I've increased my max reps (full ROM, good form pull ups) from 3 - 10 in the last 8 or 9 months following your advice. Together with a select few other channels on this site I think you are making a significant contribution to public health education. Just... Thanks!! 👍 and hi from the UK
Awesome guide. I went from 1 to 9 [max] pull-ups in about 1 year. I haven't been able to progress further but I will definitely make use of this advice
My dad said at 13 he was able to do 10 - 15 pull ups in a row because his generation didnt have phones so he went outside all the time and hanged from bars and played games with friends
I'm going to start this challenge and try to motivate others for their new years goals. I'm starting november 3rd and will reply to myself here on december 29th. I'm really excited to do this because I'm going to finish just before new years and my goal is to reach 10 reps. my current max is 4 overhand and 7 underhand. Wish me luck guys :D
@@FacePullTiToX hey. It went pretty well. Just before christmas I hit 7 reps. shortly after though (because of christmas food haha) I went back down to barely 6 not very clean. But I picked up a different workout now and I'm already seeing a lot of progress. Its the "double your max pull ups by atleanx"
Starting this challenge today with a current level of 6 band-assisted pull-ups, and just one unassisted pull-up. I'll update this comment in 8 weeks with my results!
Okay so i am little late here but tried my max (the bars in the park is thick so it requires lot of forearms too ) I will apply the same concepts on dips too Currently at 29-03-2021 Max pull ups: 6 Max Dips: 8 Will update after 8weeks
@@gainsbrah9831 thanks for the update brah. Im coming back from an injury and was thinking of running this simultaneously for pullups and dips at the same time to get back to where I was. glad to see it worked.
*I think Workout ''C'' can also be done with added weight on a belt or a weighted vest.* *As soon as you reach failure/missing a rep on the pyramid, drop some added weight/put off the weighted vest and keep doing with your own bodyweight or less added weight!*
How’s your progress? I’m also wanting to join the military in a couple of years but right now I can’t do a single pull up. My push ups have increased from 3 to 25 though
When using bands make sure the band doesn’t do the work for you which is easy to happen. Scapula pull ups should be the first thing you do on or off a band and over time I’m told this will foster more engagement in all the places that need it… I’m testing out focusing daily scapula pull up holds at the top.
I created my own program similar to this about 3 months ago and I saw great results! Watching the Calimove guys publicly advocate my program is super encouraging! Thanks guys.
Challenge accepted! I can't do one unassisted pull up now. I have 9 weeks before I go back to the office. If I can do one clean pull up before then, I'll be happy.
Negatives really helped me! Banded pull-ups really help me get a bigger pump in the lats without using the lat machine which isn’t effective for muscle strength I have found
I can do 3 reps max with both pull ups and chin ups. Haven't tried the neutral grip yet. It's 22/08/2020 today. I'll be back in 8 weeks and we'll see if there's any progress 💪. Also remember, people who complain about you or talk you down are people who don't do it themselves. People who are stronger and more experienced than you are, will try to give you advice so you can achieve your goal! Keep it up and stay healthy everyone!
My max pullups are like 4, even though i achieved my first pullup in like 3 days, around 6 years ago lol. Though, i WAS able to do a couple of chin ups already. Yeah i haven't been working out much
Quick update, this is my 4th week now i started with just 6 normal pull ups in a row, now i’m at 12 pull ups and i’m practicing band assisted muscle ups, this workout is very good, i’m starting to love it. The strength you get from doing this workout it is pretty amazing, after i do this, i add some legs workout and cardio my rest days like walking for 1 hr or 2, seriously you can try this, i’ll come back after my 8th week if i can manage to do a muscle up without help.
Always appreciate the thought and attention to detail guys. Thanks for keeping high standards in the calisthenics community 👊

This is great though, you have put so much mass (hopefully most of it muscles) and still increased the number of pull ups!! Congrats mate

For workout A, i went then from 25 reps in 9min50s to 57 reps in 17min50s (and i consider this last workout like a failure, because i went too hard on the beginning, wasting my energy for the last repetitions...)
For workout B, i went from 3/4/4/4/4 reps with a medium assisted elastic band, to 5x5 reps without elastic assistance (i added negative front lever to this workout too, even if i'm faaaar from getting it)
For workout C, i went from a 37 pull up pyramid to a 53 climbing only pull up pyramid (i'm kinda disappointed because then again it was hard at my last workout to climb higher than 7 reps, after 6 series of at least 4 reps)
Today, i don't feel that much strong, but i know that i'm better than i was back then and i want to progress again and again !
I would like to be able to do pull ups with a good form while lesting my body, but that's a far away goal for now.. :)
What i think now about this challenge : It's GREAT, because it made me plan how much reps i got to do for several future workout. I had to establish a line to try to respect the most precisly i could, and i knew each time i went to workout, what i had to do (number of reps, what exercise...)
Before this i used to only write how much reps i did last workout, but now imma write how many reps i gotta do next workouts too !
Plus, the diversity of workout made it a little bit funnier to follow, like : Oh ! Today is Workout C day, i gotta be strong cause it's the hardest ! (for me at least ahah)
However, now i feel like i can train with more freedom, so i'll change my routine for now and i hope it will make me get stronger faster !
I will still train my back 3 times a week, but i'll now try to do classic workouts, because i think i can do enough pull ups to do it !
(Before this challenge, i would have only be able to do 4 series of 3 reps of pull ups, 2 times a week... impossible to make progress)
I'll then train classic pull ups and australian pull ups (50 minutes) 2 times a week, and train my negative pull ups and front lever (30 minutes) 1 time a week (also with 2 push ups/dips workout and 1 legs workout / week)
For motivating me these 8 past weeks, and inspiring the next weeks, i'd like to thank you a lot for this video, among plenty other good ones, Calisthenicmovement !
Keep up the good work ! :)
Too long
Didn't read
Very helpul! Thank you.
@@hotuan4254 😁
@@alwaultra ... i always laugh when i read comments like yours. i think, well, i know laziness, because i'm an expert at it, but to be overwhelmed by too many words to read. That's taking it to new level!
I read it all! Very inspiring. I like how it helped you focus and build on the quality of reps.
I did this for 4 weeks back in Sept 2020, then life happened. Helped me from 0 to 3 max. Your story makes me want to try again.
Amazing workout!
From 1 max pull up at day 1. To 10 max pull up after 8 weeks 😊
Challenge Accepted
This channel has been active for a long time now and is yet to disappoint in any possible way ❤️🔥
What do You mean disappoint?
@@Evoandrs Your English isn't very good, is it?
@@avichal4563 Might not be but I see no reason to shame him for it. Maybe try to explain what you meant instead of shaming others.
Evoandrs he meant, despite the amount of videos made, the hasn’t been a bad video
This pull up challenge and explanation is unbelievable!! I return and return to it!!! Super crispy made videos!!! Thanks a million a lot Calimove!!!
Thanks Alot Sir. Please also give us "8 Weeks Leg Workout Challenge" 🌿❤💪🏻
Bro there are leg routines
Thanks a lot for this challenge .My pull up reps increased from 2 to 10-11 reps in 2 months
What workout did you do? A, b, or c?
This is exactly what I needed at this point. I am plateaued at ~10-13 pullups. Will be doing this for next two months. Thanks for the video!!
Did it work for you?
@@dropsnooze5274 pyramid set worked very well. Went up to 20 unbroken pullups, with 50-60 total
@@nandanvaidya2266 Awesome, congratulation!
I've decide to give it a try, some variation can't be too bad. Started today with my current max of 9 so 45 in total and finished with 13 min
Hey guys! I'm a little bit late since I started the challenge a little late and had to do a week of deload but here's my progress...
I started with 10 rep max, 11th was not counted since my chin didn't clear the bar. 8 weeks later, my max is now 16 reps. Had to stop because i was already tired in terms of grip strength/endurance. But I think if I also trained my grip strength/endurance, I think I can reach 17 reps.
Just a little side note. I was only training twice a week cause I have to account for my body's recovery speed since I do not have a proper diet nor any vitamins and supplements cause I only come from a poor family. I don't know if my results are great or just normal but hey! any progress is great progress. Hope everyone did great as well in this 8 week challenge. If you have questions just let me know. Cheers!
any progress is great progress! 16 reps is a very respectable number for pullups, most people cant do more than 5 probably
Which workout you pick to get result? Are you sure you just doing 2 daya fraining in a week well thats a great numbers of pull ups!
Thumbnail is like it took him 8 weeks to pull himself up
Started the program today with 40 reps in many small sets. Looking forward to the progress through the next weeks! :)
Excellent video! We are both in our 80's and are all about healthy aging. Getting older does have to mean getting sicker. We still strive for a strong body, a calm mind, & a positive outlook. Always looking to learn more. Thanks!
You guys are great!
@@nizargaabour9814 Thank you, Nizar. Keeping fit and eating well are keys to healthy aging.
Very nicely explained. Will check in after 8 weeks. Current status can’t do one pull up. Am doing assisted for last one month but obviously no real progress made. This workout of yours gives me renewed confidence.
The Blue Shorts make the magic!
Your videos are incredible from push-up to pull-up. Hope to see more of these dedicated video for other exercises (squats, sit-up or V-up and more).
Is that a SMILE in the thumbnail?!
That's a smirk of confidence
Impossible, German never smile.
😀😂😂😂
I’m going to do this challenge 🤠. My max is 5 reps, today is 21/08 i will be back in 8 weeks (16/10). See you 💪🏻
Same, 5 pull ups on overhand grip, bit more on other grips. I want to be able to do 10 before the end of the year.
Honestly really motivated me seeing your comment there, cheers and good luck.
Same man, max 5 reps. See you in 8 weeks *:D*

I would like to join you, guys. Today is 23/08, I'll share my results on 18/10. Currently, my overhand max is 6 reps, underhand - 9 reps. I hope to achieve 15 reps at both grips by the end of this challenge. I wish us all good luck!
The highest quality videos on RUclips. Thanks a lot guys, I love the way you help people. Regards from Guatemala.
The workout at 6:50 gave me great benefit. I used to only be able to do 6-7 reps of pull ups on my first set, but I already hit 10 reps on my first set after 3 weeks of applying that workout. Take in I only do pull ups once a week on back day not as frequently as they suggest.
Which workout??
isometry builds insane amount of muscles. Makes sense when we think about gymnasts who have to hold positions for at least 3 secs
I started attempting pull up after seeing this video 6 months ago.. When I started hanging from the ledge(didn't have a pull up bar) my arms felt like filling with battery🔋 acid after 4 seconds.
Today I did a perfect form pull up from the ledge.. Thanks Calimove👍
For next video we need a "how to increase legs range of motion"
"Spread your legs" XD
I have completed the program.
3 times a week, on gymnastic rings
Before = 10
Now = 14
@Richard Truong just incorporate these workouts in your pull days
The fact that I see this, without looking for it, right after I was struggling to do a second pull up is astonishing. Your timing is impeccable.
The power of data collection algorithms speaks for itself.
After 5 weeks of doing it with the assistance of rubber bands. Without being even remotely close to consistent.
I managed to do my first unassisted pullup!!! I never thought my arms could ever manage to pull my own overweight body!
Now I'm going to finish the 8 weeks to see how many I can do in a row.
I've been overeating to add effort to my pull-ups. I'ma get super strong.
I wish they'd included how to warm up correctly for pull ups :-/
My warm up was stretching arms and hanging for a couple of seconds until I felt loose
Dead hang, Shoulder shrugs, a resistance band or stick to stretch with..
Try checking FitnessFAQs for the shoulder mobility exercises. If you can do that easily, they should be great warmups. Trust me, they're not easy. That should be a great measurement for your readiness for the proper pullups.
I warm myself Up with BAG boxing or Shadow boxing
watching reps at half speed is a serious game changer, you can check the dominant chain and also check minor differences of contraction. Very informative, watching this channel at half speed has taught me alot more than any other channel.
Love these videos. I tried the 3 sets of 8 pull ups every 2 days and you do negatives for all the pull up you couldn't do. Which for me was all of them starting out. With in two months I was doing all sets of regular pull up, no negatives needed.
I started pull up on August 7, i.e. my birthday. I was 102kg and I was not able to do a single pull up. I started pull up with support of 8 plates i.e. 40kg support. Once I reached 20 pullups in first set I reduced one plate support to 7 and it went on. On November end, I was able to do one pull up without any weight support. And today as on January 17, 2021, I am able to do 8 pull ups.
I do 10 sets, 4 times a week with sequence Monday pullups, Tuesday Chinups, Wednesday rest; Thursday Pullups and Friday Chinups and then followed two days rest.
10 sets in each day gave me a lot of endurance. I can do 8 pullups or chin ups in first set and 4 in all the following sets. It makes overall a good count. My weight is reduced go 98kg i.e. still I am heavy but pretty much defined with muscles growth. Why I couldn't reduce weight, because of my eating habits. So far so good experience.
6:07 oh my God Alex is getting executed.
Honestly the "beginner" pull up u did at begin is even harder than the expert one, trust me not a single beginner would do a slow pull up that good XD
When u hit the failure, u can continue doing some reps over fatigue and it would be naturally slower
But in general u r right
@@nadyamikhailova7527 yeye i mean ur right but u will shake alot , and not doing pulls ups with this form and control
The information on this channel is just fantastic. I've increased my max reps (full ROM, good form pull ups) from 3 - 10 in the last 8 or 9 months following your advice. Together with a select few other channels on this site I think you are making a significant contribution to public health education. Just... Thanks!! 👍 and hi from the UK
Same, took about half a year for me to get from 0 to 5 then to 12 reps, the perfect pullups look and feel so good to do.
@@jaychoulover yeah 12 feels good for me now too, for an old geezer who didn't start training til the age of 40 I'm pretty much delighted
Best pull up video EVER! Thank you so much👍
Awesome guide. I went from 1 to 9 [max] pull-ups in about 1 year. I haven't been able to progress further but I will definitely make use of this advice
Next Monday I'll start this challenge
I have started calisthenics because of you
My dad said at 13 he was able to do 10 - 15 pull ups in a row because his generation didnt have phones so he went outside all the time and hanged from bars and played games with friends
Dude I‘m in! In 8 weeks I hope to get 15 Pull ups done! Thx for motivation :)
You can do it!
I'm going to start this challenge and try to motivate others for their new years goals. I'm starting november 3rd and will reply to myself here on december 29th. I'm really excited to do this because I'm going to finish just before new years and my goal is to reach 10 reps. my current max is 4 overhand and 7 underhand. Wish me luck guys :D
Hi Scorn. How did it go? Curious to know about your progress
@@FacePullTiToX hey. It went pretty well. Just before christmas I hit 7 reps. shortly after though (because of christmas food haha) I went back down to barely 6 not very clean. But I picked up a different workout now and I'm already seeing a lot of progress. Its the "double your max pull ups by atleanx"
Pull ups are the best workout, better than going for weight lifting
Your way of explaining is very good
So strong man! We learning and trying our best to get a little big of strength and to get fiter
Loved dis vid so many tips
Thanks bro🔥🔥💪
He looks so sad in his shirt and red pants while is blue-shorts version is so good at pullups :D
It doesn't matter
Starting this challenge today with a current level of 6 band-assisted pull-ups, and just one unassisted pull-up. I'll update this comment in 8 weeks with my results!
Ill be waiting
Update?
yo, how'd it go?
I like the progression vids, really useful.
Best video for beginner!!😎💪🏼
Insane video bro keep it up loved it really helpful
I never saw him smiling in my life
Thank you for all your hard work, CaliMove!! Rrrespectt
Okay so i am little late here but tried my max (the bars in the park is thick so it requires lot of forearms too )
I will apply the same concepts on dips too
Currently at 29-03-2021
Max pull ups: 6
Max Dips: 8
Will update after 8weeks
update?
@@nich9148 13 max pull ups and 25 max dips on standard gym bars can't tell about thick ones as i had moved from that location.
@@gainsbrah9831 thanks for the update brah. Im coming back from an injury and was thinking of running this simultaneously for pullups and dips at the same time to get back to where I was. glad to see it worked.
Excellent as always guys!
*I think Workout ''C'' can also be done with added weight on a belt or a weighted vest.*
*As soon as you reach failure/missing a rep on the pyramid, drop some added weight/put off the weighted vest and keep doing with your own bodyweight or less added weight!*
Make a workout programme on military preparation if you would like to do this give 1 level of level 1 to 5
True bro u wanna join the military
How’s your progress? I’m also wanting to join the military in a couple of years but right now I can’t do a single pull up. My push ups have increased from 3 to 25 though
You guys are the reason I don't need to watch another fitness channel!!!
The blue short and black gym will always remain epic🔥
When using bands make sure the band doesn’t do the work for you which is easy to happen. Scapula pull ups should be the first thing you do on or off a band and over time I’m told this will foster more engagement in all the places that need it… I’m testing out focusing daily scapula pull up holds at the top.
Very helpfull thanks Sir
I created my own program similar to this about 3 months ago and I saw great results! Watching the Calimove guys publicly advocate my program is super encouraging! Thanks guys.
*THEY SHOULD HAVE A CHANNEL IN SPANISH*
thank you
0:46
This video was so helpful. I'm at the point where I'm trying to vary my training from the simple 3 sets 8-12 reps. This is just what I needed.
I do this program and I go from 0 to 5 pull up in a row in 6 weeks
GREAT job !!
literally one punch man
Challenge accepted! I can't do one unassisted pull up now. I have 9 weeks before I go back to the office. If I can do one clean pull up before then, I'll be happy.
this is pure gold, thanks!!
Very helpful information
Thank you so much ❤️👍🏻
Can this method be used if I can do 13 pull ups and want to do 20+ ?
Absolutely. However, I think you'd benefit more from a more advanced version of this challenge that programs higher frequencies. Keep it up, dachi 💪
Negatives really helped me! Banded pull-ups really help me get a bigger pump in the lats without using the lat machine which isn’t effective for muscle strength I have found
Just finished workout A today! I hope I'll see some good progress in 8 weeks!😅💪🏼
How did it go? I actually want to start this today :)
Update us
Been waiting for this
Love the star system for rating muscle activation at 3:15. I'm a PT, I might use this myself
I can do 3 reps max with both pull ups and chin ups. Haven't tried the neutral grip yet. It's 22/08/2020 today. I'll be back in 8 weeks and we'll see if there's any progress 💪. Also remember, people who complain about you or talk you down are people who don't do it themselves. People who are stronger and more experienced than you are, will try to give you advice so you can achieve your goal! Keep it up and stay healthy everyone!
Hmmm will try this thanks.
Now max rep 8 pullups. Ultimate goal is muscle up
Thanksss for that great video you are the best calisthenicsmovement!
It took me 1 year and half to go from zero to 8 pull ups, with 1st pull up being the hardest .. took me 1 year
My max pullups are like 4, even though i achieved my first pullup in like 3 days, around 6 years ago lol. Though, i WAS able to do a couple of chin ups already.
Yeah i haven't been working out much
0:19 Yeah that's me. That's how I'm gonna start.😂😂
Pyramid workout is amazing. It increases my volume significantly
you are the best bro
i was trying to do more pullup ,
and here you are helping me ❤❤
I’m gonna start this Challenge today, my max rep is 5 at the most, see you in 8 weeks to see the results and test it.
Quick update, this is my 4th week now i started with just 6 normal pull ups in a row, now i’m at 12 pull ups and i’m practicing band assisted muscle ups, this workout is very good, i’m starting to love it.
The strength you get from doing this workout it is pretty amazing, after i do this, i add some legs workout and cardio my rest days like walking for 1 hr or 2, seriously you can try this, i’ll come back after my 8th week if i can manage to do a muscle up without help.
@@DreikGameplays Update?
Just started the challenge (max reps 10 Pull-ups). See ya in 8 weeks
Push yourself!
13 is new max
