I finished the 8 weeks!!! I super excited to share my results with you here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nmhp1axmadKTY9Y.html

Jack, this is great. Increasing the numbers in pull ups does take time. It’s frustratingly slow sometimes. But keep at it.. 👍.

Thanks, Dale! 👊😀 Now that I can actually do some, I couldn't agree more. 😂 Pull ups are pretty awesome (and fundamental) and I'm glad I started down this road.

That's great man, keep up the good work

Thanks so much, Calisthenics Skw! 👊😀 Yeah, it has been a lot of fun to do and I have been very pleased with the challenge as a whole. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the results will look like after the full 8 weeks.

Great work bud 😀

Hello and good continuation. I think partly why you swing is because you point your head forward when you are at the top. Also maybe have your legs crossed. How is your gripstrength? That probably is a key to not be swinging too much.

Hey, Torbjörn! 👋😀 Funny, I was actually just thinking about you and re-reading some of your previous comments and suggestions to help guide me in the month to come. I never thought about my head being forward, but I will 100% re-watch the video and make a note to correct this during my continued training. And yes... the legs being crossed! I think a big part of the problem is that I am too tall for the bar that I own. The position of the pull up equipment in my house is also up against the wall. All of this combines to me instinctually not wanting to extend my legs out in front, even though I know it is best. Still, I 100% agree that my legs being crossed does not help and probably only hurts. It also prevents me from engaging my core and "plugging" the energy leaks, as ATHLEAN-X teaches. Indeed, more focus on this moving forward for me! Grip strength is still solid. I hit 62 seconds on my dead arm hand last month and, while not getting much stronger from there, those gains have remained constant. So I feel pretty comfortable, for now, on my grip strength abilities. How have you been? I hope 2021 is treating you well so far. Thanks again for your continued support and your very constructive comments. 👊😀

@@JackClancy296 Im lazy on and off. Winter does that to me =) but i do some stuff here and there. Gonna try one arm pushup in a weeks time so working on that. I kind of could do one with the right arm on christmas but the left I couldnt push up at all lol As for pullups try and pull yourself up with the chest facing the bar instead of going up and penetrate(the forward dip you do with the head which doesnt help your swinging) the air with your head between the bars? I wanna add a 7 minute video also, its a generous title but maybe it helps a bit : kzread.info/dash/bejne/q6Fs2rx_d5vHibA.html

Dude... AWESOME video you sent! Thank you. I had never seen his videos before but he looks super legit! I will rewatch again tomorrow before my next pullup session. And yeah, winter usually doesn't get to me, but this year with winter + Corona lockdown I'm feeling it more than ever before. Thankfully, we got our health and fitness goals (your one arm pushups and my pullups) to keep us engaged, haha!

New sub!

Hi, lifewithalexis! 👋😀 Welcome, and thank you for your support!!! Feel free to ask questions here in any of the comment sections of any of my videos, and I will always do my best to respond as helpfully and honestly as possible.

12 months from now you will be a dangerous man 👌👊👏😁💪💪 I'm focusing on pull-ups and chinups over next 3 months. My plan is to increase strength and thickness of my back. My schedule is Monday Pull-ups, plus 2 additional back exercises. Wednesday chest, and Fridays Chinups plus additional back exercises. Currently I'm 90kg at 193 cm. I've lost 5kg in last 90 days since I started tracking my calories with myfitnesspal app. My goal is to increase my strength, make my back thick and lower my bodyfat percentage so that my abs and muscles pop out more clearly without being clouded by layers of fat.

Thanks, Niko Craft! 👊😀 I appreciate your confidence in me. Hopefully I can document and publish the entire transformation so that y'all can see how (and how long) it can take a normal dude like me to turn into a dangerous-man-who-is-still-approachable-and-helpful. And thanks for sharing your health and fitness goal and plan here, too! I think it will be helpful and interesting for others to see multiple plans of attack for developing the back. Your training split looks solid for the upper body. Just one question... Are you also including lower body training into your weekly routine? Congrats on your 5kg weight loss already. I literally just started tracking my calories and protein for the first time, too, also using My Fitness Pal. (SPOILER ALERT: I will make a video about this experience at the end of January!) Nutrition is sooooo important, and it's awesome to hear that you have had success already using My Fitness Pal. If you are not a dangerous man already (and at 193 cm, you just very well might be! 😂), it seems to me that you have the determination and the tools to be one yourself! I'm clocking in at about 185 cm, btw. Thanks again for commenting. Keep me updated on your progress and do let me know if you have any questions along the way! Best, Jack

@@JackClancy296 I run whole body during Oct-Dec, training 3 times per week. I've decided I want to focus on my back and my strength and specifically make pull-ups and chin-ups my main exercises. My legs are genetically more gifted then my upper body, I got great quads without ever having to train them, and upper legs are solid as well. My weaknesses in upper body is my back, so I decided ill spend next 3-6 months making my back my strongest asset, and once I manage that I'll make another body part focus for another 3 months while maintaining strength I've developed. I should mention I do weighted pull-ups & chin-ups. I do 2 warmup sets with 1.5 & 2.5 kg extra, going for 5 and 3 repetitions. For my first real set I go for 5kg weight and try to get 5 reps. I finish with 3 additional sets, lowering weight from 5kg to 1.5kg. After pull-ups are done I do two more back exercises, rows with cable machine and dumbell rows on bench. With that my Monday is finished. I just started with this schedule this week and I am currently sore in my lats and upper back, which is a very good sign. Today I'll skip my chest training since I need to let my nervous system and sore muscles recover until Friday, when back is on the menu again. For calories I have gone from 3000 to currently 1600 calories per day. I just introduced 1600 recently, I was 2000 just few weeks ago. I want more fat shredded so I'll do 1600 for a month or so. Once I manage to get my love handles and my belly fat melted as much as possible I will go back to clean 3000 calories per day and try to do a lean bulk, so I get back my weight and strength lost due to weight loss I had in last 100 years. Currently I'm 90kg but I'm prepared mentally to hit 85 kg should I need, so I melt the fat. Once done lean bulk is on the menu 👊😊 hope this post inspires 😊💪💪

AWESOME information! Thank you for taking the time to write that all out. And congrats on your naturally gifted legs, haha. But seriously, nice to know that you can maintain your leg gains while going all in on the back training to balance things out. The only thing I would say is that 1600 calories per day for a month sounds quite low given your height and weight, but it seems like you have a good plan in place to bring that number back up once you reach your goals, and it sounds like you are experienced with this, so I'm not too concerned. Besides, it can always be adjusted as needed as you progress, which you will be able to monitor and recognize.

5 X 5 = 20???? Remind me again of you SAT math score? j/k I see you corrected yourself! Good job on the video... and the challenge

LOL... I guess that SAT did not prepare me for real life math skills like doing math while filming a KZread video. And since most teenagers these days literally want to be "influencers" online as their future profession vs. having "traditional jobs" like back in the day, that gives me great worry about the preparedness of our education system to meet the future work wants/needs of our society's future. 😋
