10 strict pullups (not chin ups) no kipping double overhand after months of tryingwe’re all going to make it bros
>>77342489Gg! Same story here. I was so happy the first time I entered double digits.
>>77342489How do you progress pullups? I can do 8 reps for 1 set but on the other sets i can do only like 5 or 6.
>>77342583I'm not op, but here's what eorked for me:Spam sub optimal set 1-2 times per week for a month. This means that if your one set max is 8, do 8-10 sets of 4, then slowly raise that to 5. In a month or so your max should increase. Then I'd suggest to have a sub max day like this per week and another day where you target max reps, like trying to do 3 sets of 6, then when that's comfortable go for 7 and so on. On sub max days rest time is short, like 90 secs, on max days it should be longer, even 3 minutes. I could barely get to 7 in a single set in December, but now I'm at 9-9-8. Hopefully one day I can get to 10 reps for 3 sets, but I feel like that's a longer journey.
>>77342607Thanks i'll try this!
>>77342489good job
>>77342607this works, I would like to add to this anon that I got it up by adding one day a week of progressively heavier weighted pullups for low rep sets of 3-5
>>77342489>decide in my head that calisthenics have no risk of injury>do pull ups every 2 days for 5 sets until failure>doing 5x10 pull ups>elbow is sore>nah its cool man, just DOMS>keep going>can't lift up a 30 pound toddler the next dayYeah I think I overdid it
Congrats bro! WAGMI
>never tried doing pull ups>go to gym for first time>"welp... I guess I should try">do 12 first time>never try to do moreLately I've been thinking on adding load
>>77343015I’ll give you a load if you catch my drift.
>>77343015This tells me you're a 100 lb asian man
>>77342489I'm currently still too fat to do pullups ;_;But congratz and good job, OP.
>>77343187what if he is a latinx twink
>>77343788>>7734318710 pull ups is reasonable for a first time if they are strong at barbell rowsi see huge carryover between those 2 lifts
I went from being able to do 4 to (almost) doing 3 sets of 8. And this is after like 7 kilograms of gains. WAGMI
