When you got gorilla glutes every pull-up you do is weighted by default

No better feeling than improving at pullups as a heavier guy - means I'm either getting stronger or losing weight (or both). Doing calinsthenics and focusing on them when the gyms were closed due to quarantine did wonders for me. Dips did wonders for my bench press as well.

High body fat % is like a natural, free weighted vest

If the grizzly can do them, everyone can

Bruh called me out so hard w that comment about running away from pull-ups using the lat pulldown 😂I do that every time

In US Marine corps bootcamp I lost a lot of muscle due to the constant hell of training I got down to 170 pounds at 6 ft 2, before bootcamp I was resting at 186-190. In bootcamp I could do 14 pullups A YEAR AGO. now at 205lb bodyweight I can do 12. thats gains imo.

Being above 20% bf and still able to do 15-20 pull-ups is so satisfying also haha

I saw Sarah Connor rep chinups in T2 and i was hooked ever since...must be 20 years ago

For all my tall, heavy guys, just know that your pullup journey may be a long one, but it's definitely not impossible to get good at them. I always got annoyed when guys who were smaller and overall weaker than I am would bang out 10 reps like it's nothing, while I could only do 3-5 at most (even while being less than 15% body fat). I'm built in a way where I had not much body fat or muscle, but I was still heavy for some reason. Maybe I have dense bones or something, I honestly don't know. My cousin was the same height, similar leanness, and had more muscle mass than me, but I was still 10-15lbs heavier. My point is, don't be discouraged by that. Only worry about your own progress, not what everyone else is doing. Everyone is built differently. Some people are just advantaged in certain lifts. There are probably some lifts where you have an advantage over a lot of people, so keep everything in perspective

Being on the heavier side, I found greasing the groove really helped me increase my reps on the pullup. I did a couple of pullups every time I got up from my chair

Been doing pull up negatives this past 3 weeks cause I can't do a single proper rep before. Just this morning I was able to bust out 4 clean reps. Feels good, man.

I was 55lbs overweight when I started doing pull ups and muscle ups, now my muscle up was not perfect but I was not doing the chicken wing, I stopped for 4 months and dropped 20 lbs and let me tell you I jump on the pull up bar to see if I still could do a muscle up man I almost went flying when I lifted myself on that day I did 10 muscle ups and then I started doing 100 pull ups a day, all that weight that I had at first sucked but I guess it helped me more than I thought

4:42 that red glow in your room makes me think you’re in the hyperbolic time chamber

Went from literally not able to do one at 205lbs to 12-14 reps in 6 months at the same weight. It's really about just giving it your best effort each set. Thanks Alex 🔥.

Great video! I remember always thinking I was too heavy for them (I'm 6'4" 230) but I started pullups last year with negatives and then built up reps until I got to doing 4 sets of 8 reps (strict form is also very important IMO). Easily the biggest change for my back strength and size. The stronger back basically made every lift stronger (even bench and OHP!!) Honestly calisthenics are hugely underrated especially for taller people with long limbs!

[strahinjamicunovic]

Very informative video for everyone, Alex!! Currently I am ~ 200 lbs and able to do around 21-23 pull ups in a row. I did weighted pullups few years ago when I was waaay lighter but only a few times (personal best was around 8 reps with added 25 kg at 75 kg bodyweight). Now I am really looling forward to seeing my 1 RM on weighted pull ups

[magictankz]

It’s like your reading my mind with these vids

[archlifts]

oh my fucking god, i was about to start my workout my gyms are closed in my region so i was about to start doing 1 rep pullups for 10 sets and because i was heavy, how you read my mind alex!

[oneclip_larry]

Im 195 lb I can do 11 pull-ups. It's taking me a long time to progress, but good things come to those who wait. Just keep at it
