      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!

    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).

    @rogueone3267 3 года назад +80

    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!

  • @martialpanyvino
    @martialpanyvino 3 года назад +180

    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 ! :)

    Today I did a perfect form pull up from the ledge.. Thanks Calimove👍

    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.

    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.

    @mangoman1827 3 года назад +1

    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.

    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.
