This is very helpful. Have to start where you stand. I'm a little sad that I didn't do better when I was younger, but this is where I stand, so thank you for the encouragement.
Thanks Guys! I have read about "greasing the groove" in a book by Pavel. You left out the most important part. His father-in-law had to do a pull up every time he went through a certain doorway in his home. That is how this works, pick something that will force you to do pull up or a one hand push up or my favorite one leg pistols. Love you guys!
Look forward to your videos so thanks so much for your efforts to keep us healthy! Suggestion: I realized when you were talking about the traps, that it would be helpful to all if you could flash up an insert of a drawing that highlights the muscles being discussed/targeted. Or even more low tech, hold up larger size drawing of the targeted muscles just so we better visualize. Thanks again!
Been working on pull ups on and off with Bob and Brad and Jeff Cavalier as video coaches. I'm 76. Have regained the ability to do one after decades of none. Have developed "latts" along the way, easily seen in the bathroom mirror.
:') woo! That's awesome. Jeff convinced me to buy a pull up bar :D but I can only (actively) hang for seconds. Nice to see another fellow athlean buddy watching Bob&Brad.
Right after my 46th birthday, after eating Keto for a while and loosing around 80 pounds, I discovered by accident that I`m able to do pull -ups now , hihi.(The previous time I was used to hang a while on a bar daily to fight my backpains). Meanwhile I can even do more than 10 in a row !
So glade your teaching old farts to do pull ups tomany people think there dead after 50. Cant teach an old dog new tricks unless another old dog show them it can be done. My moms a boss now cause of you guys.
I am 56 and have been trying to do my first pull-up for a looooog time. I will follow this little routine here and see if I can finally reach my goal. Thank your
I play a thirty pound accordion and I can lift 50 lb grain bags. I hand milk goats. But I am killing my lower back digging mint roots out of the garden. I feel challenged by your video here. I wonder if I can do a pull up! ....it doesn’t look hopeful... I love the “lowering yourself down.”....and staying fresh doing less throughout the day...my nerves need help. I have a rope attached to a broken branch that I pull to try to break that branch free. That seems close to what you are doing....Thank you guys for another great video.
I must not be in too bad of a shape. I am 73 and can do 10 pullups. Want to check your heart? This is better than a treadmill test. See if you can do 40 pushups in a minute. If you can your heart is in pretty good shape.
Oh man, I was trying to do pull-ups.. I have one that goes in the doorway because my walls can barely hold a screw for a picture frame. And a complete pull-up station. I just have no room in my humble abode.. with my fingers facing away from me (over grip?)I could almost do one, but I felt like I was going to rip off my left bicep which got injured a while ago.. I could do one, almost two, gripping with my fingers thowards me (Under-grip? Sorry English is my second language guys), but then my underarms were basically doing all the work and I don't aspire looking more like popeye more than I already do.. Even if I was a fan of his growing up. So with the ripping bicep and the risk of popeye arms, (Which I already have pretty much because of the work I do. I mean like it, I look like I could possibly knock you out, which I can't and would not want to but.. That aside.. I definitely don't need them to be more bulky since I am female and want to still look like I am a female, so I have stopped trying to go further.. But I wish I could though. It would be great to help my posture and actually help prevent injuries I think if I could work those back muscles like that. AND it would also just look so cool, you know, just nonchelantly grab the doorframe going into a store or restaurant and squeeze out a few like "Yeah, this is what I do all the time people" ;)
Hi. You guys are great. I live in Scotland. Please can you tell me if you can do a video on how to release a trapped nerve as I am having trouble even putting my hand on my hip ( this is my left arm). The pain goes all the way down my arm and my shoulder is very painful if I lie on my side. I would appreciate any advice. Thank you. 🌸🌸🌸
Sir i am just 21 year old and i am suffering from back pain more than one year . I don't know it is sciatica or not . In my MRI scan the result was ( mild stir hyperintense edema on iliac side and left si joint - s/o left sac - Rooleitis ) . What it mean. Sir plz tell me . What i will do for relief. Plz reply sir
Any tips on building up shoulder strength after having said shoulder pretty much completely reconstructed? I'm 28, and last year had surgery to repair my torn labrum, a bankhart tear, hill-sachs lesion, and some bone chipping. I used to be able to do pull ups all day long, but now I'm hesitant to put that much weight (I'm not exactly super heavy, at ~145lbs) on my already compromised shoulder. I did months of PT, and have been doing mild workouts with fairly light weights, but I'm not entirely comfortable having that shoulder hold 50% of my body weight. Anything you guys would recommend to build up shoulder strength that my physical therapist may have glossed over so I can do stuff without worrying that I'm going to dislocate and destroy my (really expensive....haha) new shoulder?
This is great! Appreciate all the different scales for the pull-up and how you said be fresh and not sweaty for the greasing the groove routine. Please research the Nitric Oxide Dump workout by Dr. Zach Bush. I am doing this for high BP. Would love your input.
Not really a fan of the product shown. It's $90 and it's wall mounted. You could get a far better wall mounted pull up bar for that/slightly more. Edit: Did a quick search. You can get a good pull up bar for $40. Maybe even. Pull up bars can be combined with gymnastic rings also, which opens up a lot of possibilities. Even for seniors.
The globalist cabal A.K A. "The 13 Bloodlines" forcing their political pawns to lockdown and quarantine the countries of the world for the purpose of centralizing politics and communizing the economy all under the guise of vaccines/C0V1D has finally gotten these two irritated enough to become passive aggressive with one another
40? Still possible. 50, 60? I doubt that. You may lack the mobility to rotate your shoulder blade at that age. This is important if you want to do pullup.
@@bartgallant6897 This makes good deal of sense. I do wonder, however, how realistic it is for someone who is 60-something and has little to no fitness history. I imagine that could be a years-long journey, assuming they're (rightly) being very conscientious about avoiding injury.
@@roberto125919 So true. My grandfather played tennis DAILY until 90; he slowed down a bit after that - eventually you're dealing with a breakdown in mechanics. Now, I'm not saying he moved like a 20 year old, but ladies were still complimenting his formidable calf muscles when we'd go to the grocery store in his 80s 😁. If you can get in the habit of an active lifestyle before the laws of entropy come round - and I'm betting genetics has some play in here too as far as when that occurs - you can discover your personal version of what "strong like bull" looks like.
@@alanawolf1556 Bob and Brad are terrific and spot on with their advice on the importance of maintaining upper body strength. To your question I would refer you to another physical therapist with an outstanding resume. You can find him on RUclips- Jeff Cavaliere. His business is called AthleanX . Go to his video entitled 0 to 5 Pull-ups in 22 days. Following his instructions to the letter while being cognizant of individual vulnerabilities will lead to success.
I love you guys, I'm 26 and I watch every video, it's gonna help dramatically for when I get older!
You are lucky, bro. I'm over 60. I wish this kind of info was readily available to me when I was younger.
@@jonm9538 yeah, let's just hope I use this information.

😂 I love you guys! Ten years from now I will be asking how many pull-ups you can do.
Wow. Amazing. I don't live where this could be attached but great system.
Me as well
I'm still doing two or three sets of ten pull-ups using various grips at 61. I don't do skin-the-cats anymore, since I do have a little AC arthritis.
You guys are so cool! Enjoy your videos immensely and you have helped me with my knee pain. Thank you!
Shouldn't we do warm up before pull ups to prevent injuries? If we are going to do our pull ups through out the day should we warm up every time???
1 is easy cause you tend to jump for it. After that is hard.
Thanks So Much Bob and Brad. On Time video bc I really will love to learn how to do pull-ups.🙌🏽
I am at 40+ currently, both in age and pull ups. I do them daily, and if I get little sore, I rarely do, it is always my obliques.

I found the number of pull ups I can do is dependent upon my weight. At 230 I could do 1 or 2, but at 180 I could do 10.

Great to work up to water skiing
Is it easy to hang up the pull up system ?
There are also screwless pull up bars, if you have 2 concrete/bricks or solid material walls.

In my MRI scan the result was ( mild stir hyperintense edema on iliac side and left si joint - s/o left sac - Rooleitis ) . What it mean. Sir plz tell me . What i will do for relief. Plz reply sir
I'm 60 and do weighted pull-ups, dead hang and good form without neck craning 😂❤
Thanks sir

cool
I’ve been doing pull-ups on my toilet and I’ve gotten really accurate. At first it was a disaster.
Stop these emails ASAP. Please.

I think that's their schtick.
@@thecatatemyhomework Yes it is, but not to this extent which is why My analysis is correct
Brad should shave his hair, he will look 20 yrs younger

LAUGH OUT FRICKING LOUD> move it or lose it. reality of why most people lose mobility is they never used it....
Totally doable. At 68 pull ups are a regular part of my 45 year workout habit.
