Both slow and fast reps are incredibly useful! Tempo is an often under appreciated variation.

As the quote goes : "slow is smooth, smooth is fast" it makes sense to do slow pull ups for total mastery, but the drop in rep count is a bitter medicine to accept

I can't do any pullups yet. But im getting leaner. Down to 229 from 275. You're the best Kyle.

Thanks! You are a great inspiration to a 71 year old pull-upper!

That pull up form is just perfect. One day ill have that. Its become a habit for me to watch your videos before my workouts to keep my ego in check hahah

So much information in so small amount of run-time... best channel on YT.

There's a lesson here... talkin' to you, 45min video posters. 😊

Thank you!

This is the best fitness content on YouTube. Couldn't ask for more concise and insightful information!

[Thefitnesstrucker]

I’m so grateful for your channel because I went back to doing all full range of motion. Especially in pushes. I make sure I’m in a decline

[KGDRAWROF]

Hey Kyle, I just hit 21 full range pullups using your double your pullups regimen.

It took 5 weeks to go from 10 reps to 18, and then 12 more weeks to go from 18-21.

Thanks for the great content, always appreciate the advice.

[malcolmmcwhirter]

Excellent advice as usual. In my personal opinion, I think a good rule of thumb is to aim for an explosive concentric, a slow and controlled eccentric, and a brief pause in the stretched position. This gives you the best of both worlds from a muscle building and strength perspective. Of course the reasons you outlined for when to focus on a specific tempo are all valid too.

Best calisthenics advice/ channel on YouTube. Hands down. Thank you for making these videos, I have a new born and I have very limited time for training and following the advice he’s laid out for a calisthenics routine has helped me to see awesome results and growth over the last year or so.

[SaminSafayet-zqlx]

That background is absolutely mesmerizing!

[gonzalodeezcurra]

thanks for all your knowledge, Kyle. you have not idea how much I have progress since I found your videos

[jamesflynn]

Love the 'I hope that makes sense'
I say that a lot when explaining things

[anuraglfclyf]

Thanks for it man. Thanks. Your advice of "being regular in less reps" > "high reps but with days gaps" has helped me a lottt

[trappart]

this video is packed with gold, thank you 🙏🏻

I recently found out I suffered with a TFCC tear - can’t do my usual weight training plan BUT can still do my close grip pull ups & push ups. Grateful to have the ability to lean on my body weight if I cannot do weights - keep preaching Mr. Boges!

[FellowHuman]

Your content is amazing. Thanks very much for making it.
