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

Do pull ups only work with your top off ?

Profilbild von Nico_SportsScience

Clean reps. For those interested: Holding at the top is a valuable tool for building top-range strength, better mechanics, and a modest hypertrophy boost via TUT (time under tenision) and control. It is most effective as a supplement to (not a replacement for) high-quality full-range pull-ups. If your goal is primarily muscle size, focus on volume, progressive overload, and full ROM first, then use top pauses or holds strategically.

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

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.

You should NOT be able to hit 10, 10, 10 or 12, 12, 12 or 8, 8, 8 if you are doing 3 sets of an exercise in a session!!! Declining rep counts across sets of a given exercise (provided weight stays fixed) are a FEATURE of productive resistance training…NOT A BUG!!! Example: If you are doing 3 sets of Flys with 30 lbs and you end up logging that as 30x10,10,10: - 100% chance your first set was an absolute joke as far as proximity to failure goes - 80% chance your second was as well - 50% chance your third was as well You simply should NOT be able to maintain rep performance across sets assuming weight used & RIR/RPE are fixed If I were to do Flys at a given weight for 3 sets, the rep count might end up looking something like 9, 7, 6 This is because I will have actually trained sufficiently hard (0-1ish RIR) on EVERY SET instead of just picking a random ass number and sandbagging the earlier sets to ensure I can maintain that rep performance across all the sets!

6 rules for strength training: - Load above 85% of your 1 rep max, 75% if moderately trained - Keep sets at 5 reps or less, intensity is the driver, not volume - Ramp up first: 10 reps at 50%, 8 at 60%, 8 at 70%, 5 at 75% - Then 2 to 3 work sets, 3 sets per exercise is plenty - Rest 2 to 4 min between sets so fatigue doesn't cut your load - Superset another muscle group during that rest, tiny strength cost, far shorter session Strength is a demand for load, not reps. Protect the load and the rest, and the adaptation follows. Andy Galpin, PhD on Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.

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.

5 exercises for beginners to get your L-sit: 1. 10 reps: Work on leg raises. Take your time and focus on activating your hip flexors, core, and quads. 2. Same movement, but make it more challenging. Have fun playing with height. 3. 10 reps: Work on compression. This exercise will help your mobility and core strength a lot. 4. 8 to 10 reps: Focus more on the upper body, and build strong shoulder protraction and core compression. 5. As many reps as you can: Start feeling your full body weight. At this point, you are so close to your L-sit.

The abs are treated like a special case for no good reason. Every other muscle in the body grows through progressive load. Add weight, hit the rep range, recover, repeat. Then we get to the abs and suddenly the protocol is bodyweight crunches, sit-ups, and leg raises. Sit-ups recruit the hip flexors more than the abs. Leg raises do the same. The exercises everyone does for a "core workout" are mostly working the muscles that pull the thigh towards the chest. Weighted cable crunches. 4 to 6 reps. Add a kilo a fortnight. Watch them grow like every other muscle. The rectus abdominis didn't evolve on a different planet.

The abs are treated like a special case for no good reason. Every other muscle in the body grows through progressive load. Add weight, hit the rep range, recover, repeat. Then we get to the abs and suddenly the protocol is bodyweight crunches, sit-ups, and leg raises. Sit-ups recruit the hip flexors more than the abs. Leg raises do the same.

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!
