What happens if you only do PULL UPS for 3 months?

Video intro credit to Logan Paul. May Vine Rest in peace

The idea behind aim small miss small is: in war, if you aim your gun at a man and miss you miss the man. But if you for instance, aim at his button and miss, you miss the button but still hit the man.

On the other hand. Richard Branson said that If you aim higher than you expect, you could reach higher than you dreamed.

So, which is it.

"Aim small, miss small" is the way to go. "Dream big" works in a while but one should aim to progress with constant pace towards mastery in anything. In other words, results don't come over night, they come with constant efforts and consistency.

This is a really good change of perspective. Aim small, miss small.

If you are wondering what was the point.
The two sayings don't mean the same thing.
During the first month he focused on winning each day (aim small).
During the 3rd month he was focused on the final outcome (aim big) he lost focus because he didn't have to win each day and did zero for many days.
It's a lot easier to focus on what you will do the next day versus what you will do for the next month.
A sports analogy is trying to win the championship (aim big) versus
Trying to just win the next game (aim small) without worrying about the championship.

Hi PE! You have inspired me to take up the challenge! I'm 68 and can hardly do 2 pull-ups! But I realized that if i rest between sets, I can do more. So I'm now starting with 10 sets of 2, then aiming for 7 sets of 3, 6 of 4 &c. Week One, let's go!

[Sarthakkkkkkkk]

Fun fact :- His day 1 Is much better than my 180 days..


Thanks for this much like

That first quote really resonated with me: as a musician of 20+ years, I can say that's been the truth in my life. There are so many things I can do on my main instruments now that I would have previously viewed as completely impossible, let alone something I could ever do, 15 years ago. I think of the musician I was then and what my goals were, and I've exceeded every one of them by far. I have a tendency to be very critical of myself, so this was a genuinely motivating thing for me; thank you for sharing!

I do 100 pull-ups in 8 minutes and I’m 56.

You can further refine your pullups. Even when your pullups improved I can see how you can improve them alot. Otherwise you'll hit a wall with your central nervous system getting too sore where your pullups amount will stay the same with gradual improvement.

When you did your improved pullups you still went faster with momentum as you go up on the positive/concentric, and you ignored the negative area as you went down on the negative/eccentric. A lot of guys do this even the "back guys" and "pullups guys".

Be strict with no momentum whatsoever with complete grip control engaging and using your back muscles as you go up on the positive/concentric, and go down at the same speed on the negative/eccentric of the movement still keeping your muscles engaged in this negative part of the movement with complete grip control as you go down in a controlled pace with muscles completely engaged instead of dropping down.

Go at the same exact pace on the positive of the movement and the exact same pace on the negative of the movement. Go at a medium controlled pace. Use your stabilizers the whole time on the positive and the negative of the movement.

Quit when you feel your muscles giving up instead of having reps where your muscles aren't engaged. This teaches your body to use your muscles instead of forcing your central nervous system. You will go short on a lot of sets for this at first. After awhile you'll have it synchronized the number of reps you can hit to the max potential or near it while keeping your muscles completely engaged.

Most people force it where they go beyond in reps to where their muscles give up and aren't engaged. You can have good form when your muscles give out to a degree but good form won't cut it, you've got to listen to your muscles instead and give up when your muscles are no longer engaged learning muscular control.

A lot of guys are killing their bodies not doing this in several muscle groups that causes them to plateau for a long time with limitations. You've got to baby your muscles into it and start at area 1 before getting much further. Then once you hit this growth becomes rapid to get much further along to much later areas.

That's why it looks much simpler for guys with muscles built all over and why their lifting doesn't look hard because they're keeping these principals in mind for yoked ripped guys.

Separately on other occasions try the same thing with one handed pullups or one handed chinups and work on those. When doing either focus on the type of lifting I mentioned above. You can get your one handed chinups as good as you can if you're better at them doing that for awhile, then work on your one handed pullups separately if those need more work and get those as good as you can.

At first it's easier to develop that area with one handed chinups before you do one handed pullups. Then when you get as far as you can with those try regular pullups again in the same fashion I said and see how much you improve at them.

After this later with two handed pullups and two handed chinups you can go at a much slower controlled pace at 5 seconds up on pullups and then 5 seconds down on pullups for every rep and every set. Normally you go at a medium controlled pace in most periods.

(You may want to focus on this part later but also you can hold on the bottom area of the pullup of the positive going up a little bit slower at the small part at the bottom and then you can hold on the top area of the pullup going up a little bit slower at the small part at the top on the positive of the pullup, and then you can hold on the top area of the pullup going down on the negative a little bit slower at the small part at the top and then you can hold on the bottom area of the pullup going down a little bit slower at the small part at the bottom on the negative of the pullup. You would do this every rep and every set. This is only for a period.)

You can also eventually try this one handed. Same with above.

Someone said to me long time ago, just to share we just work like the small ants that keep doing it without worrying of outcome.

[sillymesilly]

Great idea. I started doing scapula pull ups, now I moved to quarter pull ups with no effort. Progress. Indeed, aim small miss small.

First of all, he has a background at the gym, becouse in the first picture he has already a good physic and becouse if you look at the starting picture you'll see that the only thing that changes is the light (and the muscle mass he could have gained during those 90 days, but going to the gym, not only doing pull ups).
Bro this isn't real, he has abs, obliques and biceps just doing pull ups this is just unsense.
My english isn't perfect, correct me if I did a mistake

[kronez]

You honesty is wholesome my dude. You got a new Sub💪💯

[AllinOne-ozhm]

Really impressive bro. Is it okay to do pull-ups daily ? some say if we do it daily then muscles wont get time to recover ?

[lovalona]

Fun fact:- It will take me 180 days or more to get to his day 1

[larouedorllc]

That’s a good video that show that people with a real job difficulty remain motivated to reach big physical goals for a long time. Either the goals need to be scaled down, or people need to stop working, or there needs to be support to keep the motivation

[physioevangelist]

Thanks everyone for your support and comments. Good or bad, appreciate the engagement 😆

[Zharkan]

I was just wating for him to say that he ran 10-km run, did 100 pushups, 100 situps, 100 air squats per day with no air conditioning

[viktorsulakvelidze-skantz]

How many pull ups in a 100 pull-up session do you manage without rest? Also: how many times do you rest in the same session and for how long?

[praymusproduction]

wait, u got six pack by doing pull ups only? how does pull ups affect your stomach? cuz I thought it only affect ur upper body like shoulders, back, triceps, biceps, chest etc.. U must've done something else other than pull ups right? like plank or push up

[craigphilpot]

Great insight. Subscribed, and good job man, simple but profound life lesson.
