Thanks for the video. So nice to see a video that actually tries to teach (there are so many videos of guys that just want to show how many pull-ups they can do while pretending to teach).
Here's how I learned to do pull ups super fast in high school. Every day (which as I later learned is not a good idea) me and my friends at school would go to our school gym during recess (twice or three times a day) and would do progressive pull ups: I do one rep, then my friend does one rep, then I do two, then my friend does two, etc... 2 weeks later we could only get to 6-7 reps (again, doing 1,2,3,4,5 reps per each consecutive set). Then two months later we've reached 15 reps. After 4 months we' were able to reach 21-23 reps, which if you do the basic math is 1+2+3+...+23 = 276 reps per person. Naturally at this point we were only able to do 1 person per 10-15 minute recess (and would still be late for class). doing this with your friends is an important point, bcs it pushes you over your natural limit.
You do realise in high school you have the most energy and strength right? Thats when production of hgh is at best to set you up for later in life. Well done. I hope you still get at it up to date. Strong bones for life!
This is very late, but I have two questions: 1. When the athlete is using the band to assist him why doesn't he step in completely (with his foot instead of his knee) in order to activate his lower body as well? Using his knee only he shuts off his lower body and the upper body has to compensate for the lack of stability that otherwise his lower body would provide. 2. In his lowest position his ears almost touch his shoulders which means that his shoulders are locked out and in a very injury-prone position. Therefore everytime he pulls himself up he has to re-stabilize his shoulders first. Now this athlete is pristine stable and therefore maybe not so much in risk for a shoulder injury, but nevertheless he wastes a lot of energy by going too low. Respectfully, Janette
The bands are called superbands. You can get them through perform better. Just go to performbetter.com and search for super bands. I think that they range in size from ½"-4½".
Very good video. Thanks. Question please: I am a 60 years old guy, I lift 3 days a week (squat day benche press day and dead lift day). Cat I do the chin up progression every day? Or how often?
