How to Do More Pullups
Vložit

- Hey friends! After I made the video on doing more pushups, people asked a very natural follow-up question
"How do I do more pullups? Does this also work on pullups?"
The answer is yes. Kind of.
Pullups are a different, inherently more difficult exercise than pushups. The principles remain the same but the numbers are different.
Like with pushups, the best way to increase your number depends on your current fitness level. Wherever you're at, there's a way for you to improve!
Here's the video about increasing pushup numbers: czcams.com/video/BBSkdTaEEQs/video.html
Here's the video about progressing to pullups:
• You CAN do pullups, my...
How many pullups can you do? Follow the information below.
1.) 0-3: Work on PREPARING yourself for pullups. This can be done by doing easier variations. For pullups, this means horizontal pullups and jackknife pullups. You can do these on a stable table or railing. Having gymnastic rings makes it easy. You can buy these online or make your own (DIY tutorial on channel). Remember that just because you can do a pullup doesn't necessarily mean it's the best way for you to practice them. Take your time on the easier variations and you may improve faster! The easier variations also work to increase your strength and athleticism, so don't feel like they're a waste of time.
2.) 3-15: Work on developing your pullup STRENGTH. During this stage, you'll tend to build hefty chunks of strength and muscle. Your grip also gets much stronger. Enjoy this stage! Practice these 1-2 a week for 2-3 sets. Be safe, but push yourself HARD. Leave yourself plenty of rest time as you'll get stronger and more muscular during this stage. We grow when we rest, not when we train. So rest.
When you can do 8-9 repetitions with good form, you can explore "neurological training" of pullups. In essence, you can "practice" pullups without getting tired by doing many sets with low reps. For example, you can install a pullup bar in your doorway and do 1 or 2 every hour or every other hour while still "staying fresh."
For more information on this, check on "greasing the groove" metholodogy or the writings of Pavel Tsatsouline.
ONE THING I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED DURING THE VIDEO is that this method doesn't exhaust your muscles and your muscle growth will not be nearly as fast as it would be with the hard sets. This is mostly for strength.
3.) 15+: During this stage, you'll likely be very comfortable with pullups. You'll heal quickly from them, so you can train them every day or every other day. Like with pushups, your sleep and diet will have a large impact on the number of pullups you can do on any given day.
You may find it more worthwhile to instead train weighted pullups or harder pullup variations (like working towards the one-arm pullup). If you train this way, you'll still increase the number of regular pullups you can do while building strength and muscle. Throw in a set of regular pullups every once in a while to remind your body of the movement.
However, the inverse is not true. Simply increasing the number of regular pullups that you can do will almost certainly not make you strong enough for a one-arm pullup even if you can do over 50.
Different training methods have different benefits, so find one that suits your goals and use that. You can always change it, so don't fret.
Hope this can help!

Love you all! It's a bit late here, so I'm headed to bed. I'll answer your awesome comments tomorrow!
I'm doing a Reddit AMA later today at 12PM Central Time: www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/
Stop by if you get a chance!
Enjoyed today video as always 🙌🏻☺️ Definitely looking forward to using these techniques to improving my Pull-ups! Thank you & Have a Beautiful day Bro!
Can u film some exercises for shoulder pain.
Hello Hampton,
Can you do a video on lower and upper back exercises without any equipment at all? Pull-ups are really not possible for me. I trust your judgement and would want to hear recommendations from you. Thanks a lot!
@@NimbuX. that's actually what I meant to type, haha! It's a two part question. Sorry if it wasn't clear and I appreciate you checking for me!
@@itloggirl122 lower back? I'd definitely try some bridges first. Build up with short bridges and straight bridges.
Upper back? Handstands and handstand shrugs help. It's hard to replace pullups though. Try to find some way to do them if possible.
This guy is my inspiration for finally exercising.
Cheering for you!
Same!
I’m just here to be told to have a beautiful day ☺️
I’ve been working out off and on for decades now (only 25) and Hampton makes it easy to work out. My brother thrives on partnership and being pushed for his training and I can’t be in that environment willingly for the sake of fitness so finding Hampton’s route is a lot better for my motivation.
Good luck on your fitness journey
"Your time is valuable", this is why we love Hampton
Love the pfp 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I was stuck on 4 pullups then I started doing them one at a time. Firt set: one rep. Second set: two reps. Third set: three reps. And so on. It really helped activate the muscles and they were not depleated from going all out in the first few sets. I see it as a level game, right now I am at level eight.
This is a great idea
how long do you rest between the sets?
@@friendswithbenedicts9753 you can do 30 to 45 sec. maybe longer if you feel you need more resting time. Just listen to your body.
Like this idea,will try.
Genius I think this might be how I train pull-ups from now on
I can do pull-ups because of you 100%. Thanks
YOU were the one that put in the work, so you get the credit, my friend!
@@HybridCalisthenics You are not only awesome, but modest too
I'm stuck on 2 pullups its been two weeks😅

Yes, past two months I thought so too. Especially noticeable in this video.
@@picodegallo18 its only natural. He is Training for life and sleeping
yep his arms is bigger and toner
I think the more subscribers he gets the bigger his muscles become.
Woah I was just thinking "how do I do more pullups" and than this was posted. Universe is listening
Same!!
Glad it worked out!
Hampton is listening~.....
Hampton is the universe.
Same !
Hampton and Noel “the ASMR voice tank” are THE real fitness influencers
This is the truest comment ever
I'm 14yo and I'm a bit underweight. I'm doing up to 11 wide grip pull ups and 2 months ago I was struggling with 4. I'm really proud of my progress and I find calisthenics really fun.
Go on a 200-500 calorie surplus over maintenance calories for ur weight and height. Cheers 🥂
@@tanzilhossain2693 A year later I'm 7kg heavier than what I started at and still going! It's rough but not impossible.
@@goshu123 good job
@@goshu123 How much you weighing in at right now? the past 4 months I've been doing calisthenics and I have gone from 10 push ups to 30 push ups in a single set, gained about 7kg too

The fireflies in the background look so cool
Yeah I deliberately used less stock video on some clips because I liked watching them haha!
Hampton's fitness magic is so strong it makes fireflies appear in the background at 6:14
Damn that's so cool
haha came searching cuz i thought my eyes were going wack
Seeing fireflies here is really magical for me
Ahaa!! I thought I saw them!
Love this guys knowledge and the way he delivers it. I’m always learning fro you, thank you. Ps. I’m 56 and just upto 20 pull-ups! Thank you!
Wow 👏
Come on....20 ? Fr? Lets be honest man
@@darkwarrior2038 He meant 2
@@darkwarrior2038 check his page he ain't capping
@@darkwarrior2038 he actually meant 0 pull ups but typed an additional 2
I work at a gym as a janitor and after I get off. I work out. I been starting to watch your videos more on doing any beginners pulls ups videos and push ups haha love them! Keep up the good work! My back starting to get big from doing the horizontal pull ups. I also been doing the wall pull ups too. 😊
Massive respect to you. Thanks for cleaning our mess. Thank you for your service.
@@Kevin-cy2dr thank you! I very appreciate it! 😊Someone has to do it when it comes to the cleaning as they say haha. Other than that. I am still working really hard to finally do my first pull up. I recently just turn 30. It may take some time for me. I will get there eventually tho. 😊
Janitors allways look like chads, massive respect, thanks for putting up with inconciderate gym goers.
Dudes gonna be that one janitor moving someone's whole set with one hand to clean
"It ain't no thang" - Da Hampton
The vibe in your videos is always amazing 💖
I was stuck at 2 when I first started, and after 1 month I’m now able to do 8-10 reps with perfect form in a row using the training methods that you provided, thank you so much!
Finally someone who gives real advice and not some click bait exercice on how to get abs
That’s true I love Hampton he is so nice it makes me embarrassed I love every one of his videos and he inspires me to get out of bed every day and start to go and workout so thanks to Hampton and @hybrid calisthenics
@@lifeisjustagame8454 yesss, this man literally is an inspiration, he deserve a lot more recognition.
And he’s probably the nicest guy on CZcams
@@lenoirrubens1493 he’s got 2 million subscribers, isn’t that a lot of recognition
This guy has an extremely humble and friendly attitude for someome who is that good with calisthenics.
Love to see your growth over the past few years mate. So glad you're wholesome energy has reached so many people.
You're the best guy I've ever seen on fitness channel,you never make me feel lower about myself I feel I can do it whenever you talk I feel it.
You're the only reason I can do a pull up, went from 0-6 in a few months, thanks man
How’s it going two years later?
Thanks for the video, I’ve been stuck around 2-3 pull-ups and didn’t realize I need to focus more on the base exercises to build to that next level
Thanks again Hampton for a reasonable, positive message that encourages improvement with an eye towards the long game of long-term health and fitness ♥️
One more thing. Hampton I appreciate your methods and the kind atmosphere that surrounds you. It’s something I try to do myself to help motivate and benefit those around me. You’re very informative and I always look forward to your videos. Thanks, and I hope you have a beautiful day as well!!
He doesn’t roast you he addresses your flaws with harsh manner.
Hampton doesn't need "aesthetic" set ups with changing lights, he got Fireflies and soothing sounds, AND WE LOVE IT :) @6:18
Hampton, you're awesome for giving us all these tips for free. One of the nicest youtubers ever. Thank you!
Yes, pavel spoke about it & it works so appreciate y for passing it onto people who dont know.
Sometimes, if I am feeling stiff and tired before a pull-up workout, I like to do a slow pull-up of about 10-30 seconds. I feel like it helps me remember good form and "wakes up" the right muscles. Doing this usually helps me perform more max pull-ups as well.
Thank you for all of these videos. You seem very down to earth and honest. I no longer want to look like an "idealistic" 6ft+ tall hollywood bodybuilder. I just want to improve my body to a point where i feel more confident going out into the wider world.
You helped a bunch.
Good to find someone out there 100% natural like you. Makes me feel comfortable with my progress because doing it 100% natural takes more time🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Man that dude is so wholesome I just love him

Like Brother i never had
I love u
I have nothing else to say than aww
this guy is not only super sympathetic, but also immensely knowledgeable and smart with it and he really knows how to explain things to all types of progression
You're literally the best, Hampton, thank you so much!
“You can do pull ups, my friend” was the first of Hamptons videos I ever saw
One of the things I love about your content is you show us that you don’t need a bunch of fancy equipment or a gym to get fit. Keep it up brother 👌🏼
Perfect timing, Brother! I feel like I just hit a plateau recently with pull-ups, and the timing of this video is perfect! Thanks Hampton.
Beautifully teaching people how to be fitter and more sympathetic. Thank you, sir.
Good morning, friend! I've really been inspired and helped by your videos, particularly the latest one on the pushup improvement, and I had already tried incorporating that into my pull-ups. See this in the morning notifications was a welcome surprise.
I found that even though I can only do 2 - 4 ok-ish pull-ups, what I CAN do is hanging shoulder shrugs / rotations. Basically hanging from the bar (feet in the air) and just starting the lift only using my shoulders, then releasing down slowly and repeating until I feel the burn and resting for a bit. Only seems to work for me with my hands facing away, for whatever reason.
Thanks again for the great content! Have a beautiful day!!
The way he looks at the camera its like he's saying: You can do it.
First watched this vid before I could do any pullups, followed it along for a few weeks and now I can do multiple. Thx for the advice!
Thanks for the great content and being you! You're awesome man!
I weighted about 51kgs , 6 months ago before i started calisthenics , now i am at 59kg-60kg.
Thank you, you've literally moved me to change.
Jesus that’s a lot of muscle
@@jsgv7935 Considering that they were bulking, a bit of it is fat too. But very impressive amount of muscle
Good shit i went from 57-65 kg over the last 6 months i started climbing and doing calisthenics
@@nilaso9523 I went from 70 to 65 :/ Hopefully it was mostly fat
2:27, that line has been stuck in my head since when I saw this video!
Dude, I love your lay back, positive attitude!
natural lighting of your video relaxes me from work
I’m 54, and I never had a pullup bar at home until 2 months ago. In less than a month, I went from doing one pullup to 12, but after that, I couldn’t improve anymore. I may try some of the concepts in this video to see if I can make more progress on pullups. All I did so far was one set to failure. At first it was several times a week, but it dwindled down to about once a week after I stopped making progress.
one thing you can do is buy giant resistance bands, and put one end under your feet, and the other end tied around the bar, and it helps lift you up when your practicing. Thats how i got good at them
Another hidden gem here on CZcams. Very instructive and informative.
Even when I have no intention of doing any excercise ...
I watch your videos for the positivity...
Keep up the good work Hampton 🖤.
Happy to see another video of Fitness Bob Ross

A good way to do the isometric warmup for the pull up would be trying to do a weighted one you can't possibly do, or having someone heavy enough for you to be unable to pull up. This allows you to contract the muscles in a stretched state, just be careful no to hurt yourself. If you are at the gym you could also try a lat pulldown with very heavy weights.
You are the only fitness influencer I follow. Your energy is great and inspiring without falling into toxic competitivity :)
Seriously one of the best youtubers on the platform.
Hey man. Just want to say thank you for all the videos you’ve been dishing out. They’ve really helped me build some muscle as well as be healthy overall. Cheers!
just do one armed pull/chin ups. (after you can do around 5 decent ones with a 70% body weight vest or waist hang weight - this is better because as you walk around with a weight vest it compresses your spine unless ur posture is perfect. while the waist hang weight pulls ur spine and you only use it for the duration of the exercise)
I don't think many people can do one handed pull ups. I don't know any who can. Which is why I am so proud I can do 3 of them.
How can you achieve one armed pull-ups after you get to 5 normal pull-ups?
@@abhinavdp7376 70% body weight vest
You are my fitness inspiration. I follow fitness CZcams-ers for ideas and knowledge but you are my role model!
What a great guy not just an inspiration for exercise but in attitude
I hope this guy knows how awesome he really is ☺️
This is not how one would imagine a workout guru who introduces himself as "brother Hampton".
Jokes aside, thanks for sharing knowledge and good vibes!
Literally Hampton brother u changed my daily routine and u know now my body feels more flexible. God bless u
My brothers told me to start jogging which I have but this dude has got me started on push ups and that stuff and honestly is my main inspiration.
as an aerialist, i need things to do to help straighten the muscles i need when i’m not in class. pull-ups are the best for what i need, so this was helpful as i’m not used to doing the “correct” form of a pull-up.
U helped me so much getting my first pull up
Now I can do 6 pull ups and 8 chin ups
From experience I can state, Consistency is the key. Btw love your videos bro, it's calming and yet to informative, not any fency stuff, just real issues and fixes.. thanks a lot for these videos.
Thank you Hampton! I love your channel❤️
Ok, for me this video was just perfect. Thanks, Hampton!
I don't want exercising to be a struggle, I want to incorporate it into my lifestyle, so that pull-ups and push-ups would be just as easy as walking. On vacation I will definitely try dialing down the reps in favour of more sets per day and see how it'll work out. :)
Have a beautiful day!
I swear this dude is gonna get to 5 million subs in no time, keep up the great work Hampton. 👍
Love your content bro, appreciate the time.
Your so kind i'm getting stronger by just listening to you. Thanks you my friend.
It's way too early for my weight to start pull-ups. But one day, ima pull the crap out of those ups.
Ul do it bro
Hampton: how to increase pull ups
Me: still trying to do my first pull up
Keep going bro! You'll get there
Do the hanging in the bar, even if it just 10 second or 5 u continue doing it, and when ur ready do one pull up, that’s exactly what I did and I can do 7 good proper pull up
Besides hanging to the bar like Awesome Kelber said you can try to slowly lower your position on the bar. This helped my GF to learn pullups!
He has a video on how to do your first pull up! It's great, I'm currently working on that
@@carstenrebbe9450 Yes! That's incredible helpful, also hanging on the top of the bar and slowly going down
We love you Hampton :) thanks for everything you do :)

thanks for the tips Hampton, you have no idea how this helps me
You are just what we need theese days. There are lots of other fitness videos but they contain useless and maybe even harmful ways of training especially for the younger pals who might go overboard with it. But your videos are very pozitive and helpul
hey Hampton, thank you! pull ups are my favorite exercise my PR is 17 pull ups on rings and my goal is 30 pull ups im gonna try your methods and grow stronger!
Hampton how about a video on handling calluses?
"Thank you so much for everything you do" right back at you Hampton!
even tho i have shitty job now and dont have much time for my hobbies like guitar playing and working out im still manifesting it in my head and you are helping me with your tips
thanks legend!
he's living my life. living off-grid, being fit, being happy, having a wife (congratulations Hampton), and the best, spreading a shit load of positivity LOL 😂
You can also use a theraband strapped to your bar, wrapping around your foot, to create an easier pull up variation with the same movement as a regular pullup!
That's one of my favorit variations, too. I have resistance bands in three different strengths, so I can decide how much easier I want to make my pullups. So I can do more pullups with a strong band on one day, or fewer pullups with a soft band another day.
AMAZING VIDEO!!!!! ideal techniques of increasing those numbers.
What an inspiration. Thank you for the video and the effort that you put in. You're the man! 👊
Bro, Noel Deyzel just mentioned you in his latest video. Congrats, man!
Hi, I broke a tree....
I am going to start a 90 day pull up challenge and this information really came in handy.
thanks Hampton!
Always good tips and good waves. Thanks.
The fact that he can do pullups with perfect form and in a slow, controlled pace like that while talking shows how much of a beast this guy is.
Hampton, you're amazing, you have helped me and others so much! I am a pretty heavy guy, just above 120kg at 173cm height, so a year ago I couldn't even come close to doing a pullup. I followed your advice and through consistency I can now do 2 clean and stable pullups! It took a while but I'm very happy! I wanted to ask you what is your opinion about using elastic bands? I usually use a band to help me get up to 6 pullups with good form so I can do more sets and more often also.
”pretty heavy”
bro you weigh almost twice as much as you should at that height
but damn doing pull ups at that weight is absolutely insane big up man
@@jsgv7935 yeah I'm a fat fuck, love food too much. But I'm on a heavy cut right now, hoping to maintain as much muscle as I can so I can do a lot of pull-ups with less weight. I do have lots of muscle also though.
Just a tip, if your cut is more than 500 calories, you could struggle to gain muscle or maintain strength, so it's recommended to be in a light deficit for a more drawn out period of you want to maintain muscle and strength. However, it's more important you do what you're comfortable with. Anyway, good luck man 💪
Awesome Hampton! Been stuck at 5 pullups and chinups so I definitely needed this!
Beautiful scenery and fireflies. Good training!
