Hi Al. I am doing your program Get Strong and I have a problem with pull ups and chin ups. I can do first series of 8 reps, but when it comes to do next series of 8 I can only do 3 to 4 reps. I fill like I don't have a strength. I do pull ups for a long time and I can only do 1 series good and other series are very bad. Where is my problem?
I am impressed with your chin up/pull up exercises! Also, I'm MORE impressed that you can do all of these variations with a smile on your face. Looks like you're having a lot of fun. I just bought a pull up bar, so I hope to be smiling like you. :)
Hi Al, Another great video. you are my training inspiration. I have learned alot from your videos. At present I am following the Convict Conditioning program, and making good gains. All the best, Joel
There are certain stretches and exercises like pronator training that you can do to ease golfer's elbow. Google dodgy elbow and you'll find some explanations on that. There are two more stretches that aren't explained there, you should be able to find them via google too...
i would say not too often, i do them sometimes to see what i can do out of interest, but you don't wanna do them all the time because you'll just burn yourself out straight away and your workout won't be as effective, to increase your reps just practice!! or use a weighted vest or any kind of weight you can hang off yourself.
Al Kavadlo you are awesome!Nice videos with lot of practice behind itBut i have a question:Do you make break days(I dont)are they important?I dont want to injure myself.I have serious physical training in school and after it I'm already about to start my workout.My record is 20 pull ups and i can do a one handed pushup on 3 fingers like you :D.Im also 15 years old.So I train real hard.I ask you because you are the man I admire the most in calisthenics questions.Answer please.Thank you very much!
al totally amazing channel, do u have any advice for tendon pain on inner elbow, i can do pull ups at present with no niggles but when i go underhand palms facing me the pain comes so iv dropped them for now but dont want my biceps to suffer, any advice u have would be deeply appreciated
Yeah, that bear patch thru me off for a minute. I was like, something looks different about Al, but okay. U look kinda like a Paul Bunyan of pull up bars.
Greetings from the UK Al! I'm trying to master the one arm pull up with several progressions and the one I'm focusing on right now is the One Hand Pull Up/Uneven Pull Up. However my progress has been impeded by pains in the wrists where the assisting hand grabs the hanging hand, thus bringing down my total rep count from 10~12 reps max each hand to 5~6 reps each hands. Are there any ways to overcome this problem?
Hey hey hey Al! I have a question for you! I literally felt in love with CC philosophy about six months ago. I'm in half pullup step (CC step 4) for about two months and half, I am able to do religiously 11-13 (depends on the day) half pullups with 2-1-2-1 cadence with HIGH tension. But after those my muscle begin to be congested of lactic acid and, you know, they can't contract as well. Do you think it is legit to rest 5-10 secs to crank up other two strict half pullups? or do I follow to try in this manner until hit 15 even if it takes other months? (I can do 8-10, 2-1-2-1 strict full pullups without fatigue) Thanks!
Do you have any suggestions for those of us that are truck drivers and don't often find places strong enough to support our weight because we're constantly moving around the country.
Thanx for another cool video and congrats on your new book I ordered it and just waiting on it to get here in the the mail can't wait to read it thanks for the inspiration to get back in shape.

Seriously dude, you are a great teacher!

Even though its 12 years ago its still so relevant and always will be! Love your work Al! And I always love following the workouts from your books!
That it's taken me so long to find your content is CRIMINAL
Better late than never! But you've got some catching up to do! :)
Had to be this past weekend.. they just painted that. Good tutorial Al
You have the most awesomest mannerisms I've ever seen.
Just bought three of your books, looking forward to getting strong!
My sister wants to join the Marines to be like me. She can’t do a pull-up yet. Naturally I thought of you first and sent her this video. Thanks Al!

Nice on Al :) thanks for the share. Good tips to also help people build up their foundations for higher reps. Keep up the good posts!

Awesome. Gotta try these.
Nice one Al!
All the steps to begin are there ;)
Cheers

How to do a one arm pullup: do everything this video tells you except with one arm
Wow! Look at the size of Al back then!
Actually pull ups do activate the abs quite a bit, so as long as they're just hurting from exhaustion, you're good. ;-)
No, see his website

That one armed pull up was vicious
very good Al ! :)
Hey Al, just found your channel. Love it. What's your take on kipping? Just started crossfitting and they love a kip!! Peace from UK
Pause at 1:52 its beautifully creepy lol
OMG he pulled out a 1 arm'er!!! NICE!
Don’t you have to do the scap pull before you pull yourself up when you do the pull up?
Yeah, that bear patch thru me off for a minute. I was like, something looks different about Al, but okay. U look kinda like a Paul Bunyan of pull up bars.

How is such a park called? (Or is it a former kids playground)
We don't really have these outside of gyms (and even then it's 95% fitness apparatus).
Hey Al! Can you tell me how much time took to learn the one arm pull up?
how many times will take to learn the one arm pull up?
Thanx for another cool video and congrats on your new book I ordered it and just waiting on it to get here in the the mail can't wait to read it thanks for the inspiration to get back in shape.
This guy makes me wanna run around the block six times, do 20 push ups and a backflip. It's that serious.
Can I from flex hang go straight to negative pull up? Also sometimes when I do negative pull up my abs hurt, is that normal?
DE DONDE ERES
@alkavadlo i can do pullups but i somehow feel weird when i do them is that ok lol xD?
Just wondering Al, how many dead hang pullups can you do in a max effort?
Neutral grip irritates my inner left elbow same as chin ups. But overhand grip i"m fine?
nice beard and video too :)

WOAH BEARD ALL OF A SUDDEN!
Can it be? .. Billy Mays?!
If u cant do a pull-up the first thing to do is to worry about yourself...
So has he only been doing body weight exercises??? no weights ever??
