Guys... I want to share my pull up journey with you ... I'm 50 years old and I started bodyweight rows... over time I progressed by putting my legs on a chair and keep doing rowings.... When I tried to do pull ups, I could easily do 3 perfect slow all the way down and all the way up high pull ups!!!.... rowing just increased my strength tremendously... now I do 4 sets of 5 pull ups with 1 min rest between sets... this keeps my max around 9 or 10 reps... form is everything... keep your reps perfect and have faith in calisthenics... I am 200 lbs (around 90kg) and I can easily do weighted dips and pull ups at my age!!!.... calisthenics really grows lot of muscles and strength...

@@Incista just a couple of months... I realized that the most effective rows is when your feet on a chair.... do full range of motion and keep your reps good quality.... rows also thicken your back muscles which pull ups can't... I do a lot of variations both pull ups and rows... the most important tip is that never ever exhaust yourself... do it all your life enjoying your workouts.... make it fun...

That's awesome dude, I'm not far behind you at 46 and want to get into calisthenics what would you recommend to get into it? Did you subscribe to an app for a routine ?

Calisthenicmovement helped me achieve my first pull up 3 yrs ago. ❤ my max was 7 reps. But then I stopped pull ups training last year so now I’m back to 1 rep 😅 back to basics again. This works! Trust the process!

You guys are rockstars and have the best advice on YT. I'm grateful for what y'all do

You guys are awesome. Best calisthenics channel on the web.

your work is very helpful and motivating! I’m 53 years old, thanks also to you, I can do 20 pull-ups. In the morning, for several years, I have been doing four stretching exercises that I saw in your video. I feel much better and more confident now than I did a few years ago, and I really appreciate it!

Another Great video, one of the best yet🎉

CalisthenicsMovement Helped Me A Lot In Improving My Pull Ups Form❤🎉

Would be very interested in a similar video/program for dips! I know a lot of people generally find push exercises easier but I really struggle with dips, especially when keeping strict form Lots of love from the U.K.

I am using your Cali program and mobility and you got me hooked. Awesome job on tehnicality and presentation!

Thanks man. Glad you like it!

I'm korean. This video is awesome. This is very special and detail. I will share this video with my friends😊

I got my first pullup at age 40 by doing weighted negatives. I went from zero to 7 in 16 weeks I started with 2 negative lowering pullup with a 50 lb weight vest added to my body. 50 lb was 25% of my bodyweightm I added 1 negative a week until i got to 10. When i could do 10 negatives i would adde time to my lowering. I went from 3 sec lowering to 10 second lowering over a 7 week period. I had a digital timer so i could actually be accurate in my lowering time..

You're the no1 bodyweight guys on the webs. I can do pull ups, but I will send this guide to people who can't. There's so much training advice bs out there, I'm always happy to see you're still going strong. (P.S.: need to finish this complete calisthenics program I once bought ... *cough*)

Thank you Alex and Sven, love from Indonesia❤

Awww this is so helpful. I started working out 2 months ago and of course I still can't do pull ups (zero, even with resistance bands). I'll follow this guide starting next week and I'll save this comment and edit it later to log my progress. Thank a lot for the video. Just subscribed to the channel and added video do my favorites list.

There’s a lesson from an episode of Naruto where a ninja loses a bet and has to walk around the village on his hands which was considered embarrassing: getting over fear of embarrassment gives you a competitive edge and is necessary to reach your goals. I say this because before, I was frustrated and embarrassed at the gym when I needed to do assisted pull ups, but it wasn’t until I got over this feeling that I was able to practice regularly and can now do unassisted and even weighted sets. Your only competition is yourself, you got this🔥

I encourage everyone struggling with pull-ups to follow this progression. I promise, you won't regret it! Dedication, motivation and being relentless are the key to success!

Thanks for the guide❤

Training program really is great and detailed.

Good video! Just for reference for other vieweres, i didn't know about all these rules and exercises, so all only was doing negative reps by jumping first, for 5-10 minutes including rest time 3 times a week, it took me 2+ months to get my first pull up.

I did my first pull up last year thanks to their workout program! They have all of my gratitude for that!

@PrettyChickitta Sorry if this is to vague, but to the best of my memory it was eight weeks after the program introduced the pull ups that I was able to start doing the first set of the exercises without a resistance band assisting me. Currently, I'm doing the first level of their Complete Calisthenic Workout Program and I haven't had to use the resistance band at all and I'm nearly at the end of level one again. After I finish I will be moving on to level two after a rest from this level during which I plan to under go a 3 day fast so I can let my body rest from all of the eating.

@@hunterthewerewolf wow that’s impressive! I’m glad their program worked for you. I guess I’ve been doing it the wrong way all this time and sometimes training to do the pullups 3 days in a row which resulted in me feeling exhausted and even assisted pullups became difficult. I’ll make sure to follow their plan as well and eat well ‘cause that part is really essential for progress. Thanks a lot for your detailed reply and wish you all the best!

Thank you for the video! I used to be able to do a couple of pull-ups and now I want to get back in shape. But the first time it took me several years to get my first pull-up (a lot of time wasted on looking for a way to improve my strength by trial and error, sometimes I would become weaker even though I was training harder). So I'm curious to try this program.

Very nice mini program guys! Can this be adapted to working on the false grip and / or high pullup? If so, how?

I am following your complete calisthenics programme and it's a fantastic journey. However I struggle a lot with pull-ups being extremely slim as body type, so I am going to try this focused programme. Is there a spreadsheet with all the exercises and the weeks like in your programmes?

yess i wanted this video

Thanks for the video. Thumb question : do I have to put my thumbs « alone » under the bar, or upper the bar with the other fingers ?

I only have gym rings. Thinking about getting some resistance bands. Is there a guide out there, on how to setup/use resistance bands on gym rings?

I'm currently resting between sets of weighted pull ups&log presses

I’ve actually bought the calimove programme but I’m stumped with something… I have hypermobility (common with adhd) so my joints get painful very quickly doing things that put a lot of strain on them, like the exercise where you hold your weight up on your hands and lift your legs straight ahead, or even simple push-ups. Do you have some proven advice for what people with hypermobility issues can do to strengthen joints and prevent injury?

I am looking to buy a Cali bundle later this year, possibly 1-3. My question is at the end of level 1 and providing you meet the requirements for level 2, do you recommend a deload week, in the same way at week 13 in the Home Workout program?

How can we practice handstand and pulluos together??

''Negative'' Pull Ups and Active ''Hangs'' is what got me to my first real Pull Up 12 or 13 years ago! I did it everyday, 3 up to 6 times per day a little practise! Just 5 minutes at most, each time. After that, my second and 3rd Pull Up came very quick after doing that first one!

15 clear chin ups means your biceps strength is good but pull ups works more on back muscles

I know its generally good for muscles to rest, but if I am able to train more than 3 times per week is it going to fasten the process, or I should just workout more in that 3 days so I get sore enough to not being able to perform a good workout if I don't get the full day rest?

Pullups daily por vida🔱

For me, Negatives and bodyweight rows got me to do pull ups. After 1 month of bodyweight rows , I am able to do 3 pull ups in a row.

I'll do it. At the end of the year i'll come back here and share my experience. I trust the egg head man and his muscles. I expect a good result.

How to fox knock knees

I got the best results doing this on TUE, THU and SAT

I practiced it on lat pulldowns until I can pull more than my own body weight. Then I graduated to pullups and voila, it worked. I did it on first try, a good 20 reps.

Excellent advice. I try and do pull ups in my tower in the garage. I started in the gym with the seated pull down machine then went onto resistance bands under my feet on the tower. Never stress or strain, you will knock yourself back, just progress slowly and build up. You can actually hurt your neck and shoulder joints by over exerting doing pull ups. I have since been busy with kids but try and keep strength up, if you stop doing pull ups for a while you will quickly lose all those gains and end up having to start again as I have found out 😊.

If it's not a problem, I have all this at home :D Just for the preparation phase I need the whole gym :D

👏👏👏

Right now 0 pullups , will achieve my first pull up by August 2024 .

Im starting tomorrow. I can't do a single pull up now. We'll see if in a 3 months i am able to do my first pull up following this video. Thx for the videos.

I think one of the things you're doing wrong is training to failure. I'm not a specialist but I was doing a lot of volume in my workouts twice a week and I was plateu in the range of 13-14 reps. After 6 weeks of work of doing pull ups 3 times a week with less volume I was able to do 18 pull ups.

Yea, I definitely gotta train more. I only train once or twice a week, like when I’m passing by the park. Dun wanna make any excuses, but too cold in winter and too hot in summer (mosquito paradise). Plus, the pullup bars around my place are not high enough to be fully hanging, which forces me to bend my legs towards behinds. This is kinda demoralizing. I wonder if there any indoor trainings or programs for increasing the reps for the pull-ups.

​@@user-tt1gr7df6i I understand, weather also makes me skip some workouts. I hate working out when it's too hot. I also don't like doing pull ups with bent legs.
