    5 reps to 17 reps is a huuuuge jump!! I'm currently stuck at 11 tops

      I think that that is probably the achievement I'm most proud of (bar handstands of course)

    'Greasing the groove' is a tried and trusted method. Basically have a pullup bar very accessible - e.g. in doorway - and, whenever you walk through, just do a few pullups. At the end of a day you will have performed a high number of pullups. It's all about embedding muscle memory and practice making perfect. I'd also add 'work on grip strength' (as this can be a limiting factor)...by practising dead hangs to failure.

    2:41 This is 100% me. I got so excited with my 2 reps and I am still only at 3 reps, half a year later 😅

    I do a few sets of pullups most days, probably 5-6 days a week since the start of the year. I weigh 90kg at 189 cm so I'm fairly decently built now. I started at 120 kg in 2019, and since then bodybuilding>calisthenics>mixing both>currently trying to get a bit leaner. While some weeks I simply felt like I went too hard with my pullups and my other workouts lacked. My lord, the pullups have leveled up fast this year and I got pretty wide back! Great channel, had to subscribe!

      @@CaliToTheCrowd Thank you! I managed 20 wide pullups in a row on January 1st 2024 at weighing in around 95 kg. I'm currently cutting down some weight but still do pullups 3-4 times a week. It's still my favorite excersize 🤘🏻✨️

    This is what got me from 1 to 6 , i do one set pull up everyday, and on leg days (2x a week) i do 1-2 pull-ups between every set. Gettinng about 24 reps and that has helped me.
    Another thing that can help is to do max pull-ups every hour of the waking day 3x week .

    So many good inspirations from yoour video. I will definitely use those speed exercises with restance bands. And your lat activations tips from the recent video were also gold, never had such sore lats in my life.

    I did pull ups all my life, but after numbers of injuries and weight gain, my gripes became very weak. I just started doing hangs for few seconds to 30 to 50 seconds in about a month and half. Hopefully in no time I am feeling stronger to get my first rep in. Any videos on the subject will help.

    thanks andrew for another really good video. I just got my knee operated so I have to skip most exercises and compound-movements, but the pullups might actually still be possible. I'm thinking about hitting the bar again really soon. Best wishes, keep up the good work!!

      Mate, Paul! congrats on the op - yeah it is frustrating that you can't train the way you want, but hopefully you'll come back stronger! 💪🏿

    Using the free App I mentioned previously, I've increased from 10 to 14 max in a month, with 2X tests of 12.

    Ive been stuck on 8 reps for a good 6 months, it has been very frustrating. Started training weighted pull ups with the hope that it will break this plateau. Ill definitely start to incorporate the ski machine though as that seems like a very good idea. Question though... I'm looking to develop strength and muscle, would training pull ups above 12 reps only serve for endurance/conditioning?

    • @CaliToTheCrowd
      @CaliToTheCrowd  Год назад +2

      Worked wonders for me! Just make sure you're really imaging pulling as if it were a pull up!
      In terms of getting north of 12 reps, personally past the 12 rep mark, I consider any additional reps to be gravy. Once I can do 12ish reps of something, that is when I start trying to get to 12 reps... but with additional weight 💪🏿

    Have you tried explosive pullups? Should be a good alternative to the last thing you mentioned.

    • @CaliToTheCrowd
      @CaliToTheCrowd  Год назад

      I have tried explosive pull ups, but at best I could only get about 4 with full range of motion 🥴
      I needed more speed for a lower intensity so I decided on the ski machine 👊🏿

  • @Leonidas-eu9bb

    I want to increase my strength for example calisthenics without doing it! Yes you heard right.
    I want to get stronger/better but without doing the exercise. I talk about true strength gains without muscle mass and without improving exercise technique.
    I think it's possible. It mostly the brain/CNS what is responsible for strength in any form.
