My Latest Pull-Up Workout

My pull-up workout to train my back and biceps is pretty simple:

Hold the top of a neutral grip pull-up 1 minute

Comando pull-ups 6 6 6/ side

Rotation rows on rings 40 total reps

Those commando pull-ups are quite impressive, and you make them look easy!

Thanks Matt! Your workout videos are my favorite.

A fun variation on the neutral grip isometric hold is instead of grabbing ahold of the bar hook your palms over the bars
So your hands are in a goose neck position. Everything else is the same.
Thank you for the excellent content Rafe

Impressive stuff buddy. I did some pull ups and ring curls for my arms too lol.

[karolbarkovsky]

Hey! Are you back in Denver? That's the same gym as in your previous videos. Just curious...

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Big respect that you can get by with this style. I found convict conditioning to be BS and took the all out volume approach. I much prefer the sickening sets whilst staying on the bar (mu, dips, pullups) over a 3x5 archer pushup. props

This is great! This'll be my back program later 😁 Thank you very much sir!

[hansimeier]

Great stuff, as usual.😆 Maybee you can elaborate more on "the bridging aspect of the row". Thanks for the great content.

[Beebeepbooboop]

Love the workout videos. Keep them coming

[Exigoo]

Awesome. Do you think to add push workout? And how much you in week you do it?

[mokyan]

I really like the commando pullups too, I do one set R/L, then next set L/R (hands switched) next set chin ups. I think the commando pull ups help with climbing and it feels like they strengthen my grip.

I need to add more horizontal rows or kb rows for those lats. That helps you start lawnmowers and snowblowers, haha

[FitandFormula]

Matt, what is your max time for those isometric pull-ups?

[lastcliff]

Try doing oaps. It’ll make you way stronger💪🏻

[ScreaminMime]

Wow, I just did pull and hour ago! Leg day tomorrow!

[vishifishi]

I was just wondering when you'll do your workout videos again, lol. Matt, do you think it's possible to go through a period of experimentation with exercises and routines and still make progress? I've just realized that all this year I've been 'experimenting' to find the perfect routines and exercises, but in reality I've been lying to myself and made little progress (I've still got a positive and hungry mindset though!).

Matt, have you been doing this workout for many times now or was that a particular workout session you decided to do once?

[coronakaflu]

Please say .doing 300-400 pushup, pull-up is good or bad for health for a beginner to gain muscle pump and fast

[waltherwagner]

For me it always feels like he isnt doing enough volume, but look at his arms, shoulders and back. He is still making some serious gainz.

[adrianj]

Matt what do you do for your lower back? Do you not incorporate that into your back workout?

[mr.potatohead]

Other than isometric stabilization of the back muscles don't rows use the biceps as primary movers?
