Make pull ups a primary exercise. Train all sets to failure and vary your grip every workout to hit different angles. When I started I could only do 1 rep per set so I did 50 sets of 1 rep until my body adapted. Today my typical session looks... like 12, 10, 8, 8, 6, 6 reps for 50 total. A few notes for elite form: > Keep your entire core tight through every rep up and down. > Feel your lats pulling on your abs on the way up. > Exhale on exertion and inhale on the descent. Mix in negatives occasionally for controlled slow descents that build serious strength. The pull up builds a thick back, v-taper, grip, core and delts all in one movement. A hard body demands pull ups.show more

I’ve been obsessed with pull ups for a decade now. I train pull ups just as I do my squat, bench and deadlift. Pull ups are a primary strength exercise I train them with low rep sets using bands, chains, and other unique loading options specifically with an EZ curl bar on the feet I use at least 4-5 alternative grip variations just like I train 4-5 squat, bench and deadlift variations If you want a big back, and arms BTW, make sure you’re training pull ups Be on the lookout for my pull up guide in the very near future

How many pull ups can you do? Today I did 15, decent reps. On chin-ups I can probably hit a bit more. I think I can add one rep a week and get to 30 if I focused on it - haven’t done these in months! Wanna start a pull up challenge? Post your pull ups here and let’s keep it going!

I don’t love programming in a way that feels like it limits or boxing you in For that reason I like prescriptions like this, try it on your next pull up session 12x2 weighted pull ups Then do sets of 4 body weight only until you can’t anymore I ended up at a total of 40 reps

Here’s EVERYTHING you need to know about warm up sets: Most people are doing warm up sets ALL wrong and they’re costing themselves from an efficiency/effectiveness standpoint as a result Warm ups are designed to A) guard against injury B) prepare you for your working sets Warm up sets should NEVER be taken in close proximity to failure…most should see you leaving 6, 7, 8+ reps in reserve (the lone exception to this = sets performed for 1-2 reps @ ~90+ of your intended working weight) This is in STARK CONTRAST to working sets which should all end around 0-2 RIR You probably need about ~2 warm up sets before your first exercise or two depending on the specifics of your programming Here is an example of a typical warm up protocol: - a 5-10 minute brisk walk on the treadmill (optional) - 50% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~12 reps (mandatory) - 75% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~6 reps (mandatory) - 90% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~2 reps (optional) After you complete the working sets for your first exercise, you may want to repeat the last 3 steps prior to performing your next exercise IF it is an antagonist exercise (Ex: Lat Pull-Down after Sternal Pecs Machine Press OR Seated Leg Curls after Hack Squats) After that, you probably don’t need any additional warm up sets unless you are just using them as “primers” (sets to make sure your movement pattern / the machine settings / etc. are on point) - If doing a PUSH workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise only (assuming it’s a multi joint movement) - If doing a PULL workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise only (assuming it’s a multi joint movement) - If doing an UPPER workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise and 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise (assuming they’re antagonist multi joint movements) - If doing an LOWER workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise and 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise (assuming they’re antagonist multi joint movements) - If doing a FULL BODY workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise, 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise, and may even 1-2 warm up sets before my third and fourth exercises as well (assuming they’re all multi joint movements — antagonist push/pull movements for both upper & lower) (As you can see, the major downside of FULL BODY workouts is often the excess warm up time needed — this is why they work best for beginners much of the time) General rule of thumb: If your first set of an exercise is NOT your best set of that exercise in terms of performance (assuming we equate RIR), you are NOT warming up properly You should see a fall off in performance as sets transpire on a given exercise…this is a feature, not a bug of productive/effective resistance exercise WHEN WARMED UP PROPERLY

One of the best ways to increase your pull-ups Pyramid sets You start with 2 reps and add 2 reps on the next set until you can’t complete an unbroken set anymore Then go you back down again It looks like this for example : 2-4-6-8-6-4-2 Rest 40-60s between sets

Example of a true working set... You’re probably doing way more sets than you need Trust me ⁠ Back in high school and college, I would lift 7 days a week, doing anywhere from 30 to 50 sets per day I used to think those 30-50 sets were the key to growth, but over time, I realized that most of those weren’t true working sets ⁠ Here’s the thing... If you can do 4 sets of 8 reps with the same weight each set, you’re probably not pushing yourself hard enough A true working set should leave you near failure within the target rep range ⁠ For example, let’s say your plan calls for 2 sets of 6-8 reps After a few warm up sets, you try 135 lbs and hit 8 reps, but you know you could have done 6 more That’s still a warm up set since you’re not reaching failure in the 6-8 rep range You’d then go up to 145 lbs and aim to fail around 6-8 reps If 145 still feels too light, that’s another warm up set You keep going up in weight until you find the load that challenges you to fail within that 6-8 range If you don’t have a spotter, leaving one or two reps in the tank is okay ⁠ This is where true muscle growth happens, by pushing close to your limit Sleep and diet is actually where muscle growth occurs but you never push yourself hard enough in the gym and give your body a reason to grow, hypertrophy will never happen The gym is just the stimulus to give the muscle a reason to grow We then get bigger through sleep and diet ⁠ Back to the working sets... For example, in the video, I hit 540 lbs for 8 reps on this hack squat Looking back, I feel I had one or two reps left, but it’s a solid starting point and it was a new PR for me at the time The next week, I would aim for 540 for 9-10 reps or bump up the weight to 545-550 and try to hit 8 reps aka progressive overload ⁠ I typically keep my quad and hamstring workouts separate and do only about 4-7 sets per muscle group, but each set is intense, and I’m struggling by the last few reps on each set ⁠ Give this approach a shot, and I promise you won’t need nearly as many sets as you think

I see way too many people do the hip thrust exercise wrong. STOP EGO LIFTING AND SLOW DOWN!!! Take a moment to set up, keep your chin tucked, SLOW DOWN, squeeze at the top, keep your back strong (don’t arch), push through your heels and feel every part of the movement. Aim for 6-10 reps, (max 12 on your first warm up “set”). Choose a weight you can control with good form but that still challenges you. Even when you’re struggling or going heavy, your form should NOT change.

The back is the most important muscle in your body. Doing Lat pulldowns helps your back posture itself to keep your body upright. I personally do pulldowns every upper body day to make sure that my back is strong and healthy so that I can move around and do activities consistently. The wide grip pulldown emphasizes the width of your back and the close grip pull down emphasizes the lower lats (shapes your waist) and thickness of your back. I suggest doing both just to make sure that you’re not too wide or too thick.😉 Have an amazing day 🖤

Here’s my take on technique/form/finding the right weight to use for a given exercise: Let’s say you do a set of 8 reps and if we were to rate each rep on quality, the breakdown would be… Rep 1 - 10/10 Rep 2 - 10/10 Rep 3 - 10/10 Rep 4 - 10/10 Rep 5 - 10/10 Rep 6 - 10/10 Rep 7 - 9/10 Rep 8 - 8/10 That is a perfectly acceptable outcome It is an indication that you selected the right weight and did the set properly Now let’s say you do a set of 8 reps and if we were to rate each rep on quality, the breakdown would be… Rep 1 - 10/10 Rep 2 - 10/10 Rep 3 - 10/10 Rep 4 - 9/10 Rep 5 - 8/10 Rep 6 - 7/10 Rep 7 - 6/10 Rep 8 - 5/10 That is a surefire sign you need to reduce the load and pick a weight you can actually handle with better overall technique/form for the FULL DURATION of the set Some minor slippages in technique/form are probably going to happen in plenty of instances when you’re training hard/pushing yourself I’ve often said “your first rep should look very similar to your last rep sans concentric rep velocity” Very similar = it should be close enough Ultimately, there is FINE LINE between (A) pushing hard yet maintaining technique to the point that it could still be considered “pretty good” even when approaching/reaching failure and (B) pushing hard but letting technique fall by the wayside in the pursuit of continuing to move weight from point A to point B by any means necessary Example of elite technique from end to end:

The pull-up is the one exercise I see people quit on the fastest. They try a few, can't do them, decide they're just "not a pull-up person," and move on. But the thing is, strength is a skill. A lot of it is just your nervous system learning the exact movement, and your body only gets good at what you actually practise. That's why you can lift heavy on a barbell and still struggle to pull your own bodyweight up. It's a different skill, and it takes time. So no, you're not bad at pull-ups. You just haven't trained them yet. Start with regressions like slow negatives or banded reps, and try grease the groove method (thread below). That's exactly how a skill gets built. One day the bodyweight that felt impossible starts moving. Genuinely one of the best feelings in the gym.

People always ask me how I’m so good at pull ups given I’m 280+ pounds. My simple answer is bc I started treating them and training them just like my barbell strength exercises. Here are 3 variations to improve muscle density and strength The key IMO got real density should start at training muscles at end range. There are 3 approaches that I use and that I program for others. First, you’ll see a traditional rep. The important thing is the rep is using full range of motion. The traditional rep allows me to utilize the stretch shortening cycle to improve my elastic strength. Next, you’ll see me using Deadhang Pull Ups. Think of this like a paused rep on bench or squat. You are eliminating the stretch shortening cycle and improving rate of force development WHILE your feet are suspended and the lats are fully loaded and have tension. This is a key distinction from the 3rd approach Power Pull Up. This is the same idea the I use on the Power Row, or some may be more familiar with the Pendlay Row. The difference you will see is I’m standing on a pad. This allows me to pause at the bottom BUT my lats are lengthened but UNLOADED. There’s no weight or tension when I start and initiate my pull up. You’ll even see I remove my fingers completely got each rep Using the all together in an intelligent program that organizes stress and variation appropriately is the key to maxing your pull up potential.

Sooooo I just saw all the workout critics 🤡 on my butterfly pull-ups. Butterfly pull-ups are done in CrossFit workouts and should not be done unless you have good shoulder mobility and can complete at least 5 strict pull ups without fatigue. I also train strict pull ups during other training sessions. Always make sure you go down all the way to straighten your arms before pulling up again. And chin over the bar at the top. But more importantly I encourage everyone no matter how old you are or what level fitness you are at, always try to train and exercise to stay strong and healthy so you can live your best life and be the best version of you. Don’t sit on the couch and be a hater. We have enough of that!

PUSH-UPS. Quality over Quantity: Have you paid your rent this morning? This video will teach you how to correctly do push-ups. This video shows you the basics. - Body Position - Abdominal tension - Arm Position - Range of motion - Shoulder blade movement I also want to add on BREATHING. Ensure you inhale during concentric motion (When arm muscles shorten, when you are down) and exhale during eccentric motion (that's when you are up.) During the process of going down, exhale your breath, then when going up inhale, and hold your breath, and when you get up release through your nose. Avoid breathing through your mouth. Let the push-up be slow and controlled. Don't bounce and rely on momentum. That's cheating. When I see fellows say "I do 100" "I do 50" I know they are cheating and doing the wrong technique. Go for QUALITY over quantity.

Britney Spears teaches Ellen DeGeneres her daily 500–1,000 sit-up routine: In early 2004, Britney was deep in rehearsals for her Onyx Hotel Tour, dancing for hours everyday... sometimes until 6 or 10 at night. Ellen asked how she stayed in shape on top of all that, and Britney admitted she does 500 to 1,000 sit-ups almost every day. Ellen pressed for the specifics, so Britney got on the floor and walked her through it step by step. She explains the first set: "Usually I'll do with my legs up and I'll do 50 of these. Just put your hands up. Yeah, like that. You do 50." Then the variation: "Then you do 50 of these with your hands like that." And then the one she warned was the worst: "And then this is the hard one. Then you do 50 with your butt up like that." That's 150 sit-ups in a single round, cycled through three different positions to hit the abs from different angles. Britney told Ellen she repeats the whole sequence over and over until she hits her number, counting by ones, not in batches. She also threw in a bonus move for the obliques: "Another thing that really works good, if you try sideways like this and do it, it works the side part right here. And then do it the other way." Ellen asked whether she breaks it up into sets of 25 or knocks out 100 at a time. Britney's answer was matter-of-fact: "I do it all together."

Ellen asked whether she breaks it up into sets of 25 or knocks out 100 at a time. Britney's answer was matter-of-fact: "I do it all together."

How I currently leg press to maximize hypertrophy 🤓 1. No quarter or half repping with tons of weight with your feet high up like a BITCH 2. Choose a weight you can take through a comfortable but reasonably deep range of motion 3. Move feet low enough to have deep but comfortable dorsiflexion (toe stretch to shin) 4. Execute a range of motion that stretches the quads but keeps the tension on them through the entire rep, for me this is when I feel light pressure between my calves and hamstring (I could technically let the weight squish me to such a point that my own hamstring and body are removing tension at the bottom 5. Lay hands on knees for a totally useless safety blanket (ok half serious I do think perceived stability neurologically increases large motor unit recruitment regardless of or in tangent with actual stability but this is just a working theory I have 6. Embrace pain feel sadge For Rep schemes personally I think (after warming up) a heavy first working set 5-10 reps 1-2 reps shy of failure to maximize large motor unit recruitment followed by 1-3 lighter sets within 1-3 reps of failure of 12-15 reps works best because lighter sets following a heavy first set seems to offset the fall-off in strength for the second set due to contrast overcompensation of the muscles (think about how after a heavy set the next set FEELS lighter and often you can take the second set FURTHER) it’s almost like having 2 first sets!

Here’s a killer At-Home Lowerbody workout 💥 For warmup, start with 3 sets of walking lunges and then proceed to 2 sets of body weight goblet squats. •Working Sets: Goblet squats : 3 sets of 12- 15 reps (for the foot placement if you have access to a weight plate, that’s most preferred. I only had small dumbbells). Jump squats (4 sets of 10 reps) superset straight into, wall-sits (4 sets of 30 second holds). Romanian deadlift (3 sets of 12-15 reps) superset straight into body weight, Good-mornings (3 sets of 15 reps, if you have access to barbells or weight bags you can add weight for maximum intensity) Sumo squat : 3-4 sets of 15 reps. If you have access to a variety of weights, incorporate progressive overload on every exercise by increasing weight with each set up to your heaviest. Also make sure to control your reps on both the concentric and eccentric movement for the utmost strain. For more fitness content check my fitness page on IG

The most underrated exercise on the planet is the Bar Hang. But 99% of people don't even do them. Here are 4 powerful reasons to do bar hangs every day: 1. They improve your posture Don't want to look like a croissant? Bar hangs help strengthen & mobilize your upper body. They also provide a constant stretch on the shoulders, back arms & lats. This helps reverse upper body posture defects that come from sitting for too long. 2. They improve your strength Your weight is supported first by the grip of your hand. A good grip improves your performance across all exercises like the pull-up, rows, deadlifts...pretty much any activity requiring a grip. 3. They build stronger shoulders Bar hangs can improve mobility, and strengthen the shoulders & lats while reducing shoulder pain. They stretch the brachial muscles while strengthening the supraspinatus tendon, which is responsible for shoulder strength & endurance. 4. They may help you live longer Grip strength can be a biomarker for your inner age & determines your mobility & strength as you get older. In some studies, decreased grip strength is associated with accelerated biological age. There are 2 ways to do bar hangs: The first is a passive hang (video) Take an overhand grip. Let shoulders & lats relax. Your body should sink with your shoulders touching your ears. Hang there with feet slightly forward, core braced & let your weight passively stretch your shoulders, lats, & back. The second is an active hang. Start in a passive hang. Retract your shoulder blades down and away from your ears. Stop retracting when your ears reach your elbows. Hold for as long as you can. This puts more emphasis on the muscles in your shoulders and back. If you're a beginner aim for 10 seconds to start. Work your way up to one minute and eventually 2 minutes at a time. As long as you're not sore you can do these daily. If you can't hang from a bar you can step on a box at first to help support your weight. Another way is to attach a resistance band to the bar putting while putting your feet on it. Bar hangs are one of the most underrated exercises on the planet especially if you work at a desk. Add these to your daily workouts and experience the benefits.
