The plan for doubling your max pull ups! — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00all right so last time I gave you a
- 0:03really simple program for getting your
- 0:04first pull-up this time I want to give
- 0:08you a tried-and-true program that I've
- 0:09used several times with multiple clients
- 0:12for increasing your maximum pull-ups so
- 0:15this program works best for those with
- 0:18max pull-up between 5 and 12 but it can
- 0:22work for Max's above or below that but
- 0:24that's kind of like the sweet spot so
- 0:27this is a three day per week program
- 0:28done on non-consecutive days like Monday
- 0:30Wednesday Friday and I can pretty much
- 0:33guarantee you that it's going to
- 0:34increase your max by fifty to a hundred
- 0:36percent about eight weeks so let's start
- 0:41with day one so day one three max effort
- 0:44sets so these are essentially sets to
- 0:47failure so for this video I'm
- 0:49demonstrating a max effort set of eight
- 0:51and on the second set I get seven and on
- 0:54the third set I get five so all that
- 0:56matters is that you keep your technique
- 0:58solid so no kipping full range of motion
- 1:01and perform your sets to technical
- 1:02failure so once this once your reps
- 1:06start to break down to the point where
- 1:07you can't perform the movement properly
- 1:09sets over so keep your rest at at least
- 1:12five minutes between each set you need
- 1:15adequate recovery to put forth a high
- 1:17level of effort which each with each set
- 1:19okay
- 1:24so day two you're going to do ten sets
- 1:27with half of the reps of your best set
- 1:30from day one with my max set of eight on
- 1:33Monday on Wednesday I'm going to be
- 1:36doing 10 sets with 4 reps each in a
- 1:40one-minute strict rest between each set
- 1:43so the way you progress on day 2 is you
- 1:46add one repetition per set until you can
- 1:49complete all of your sets at the target
- 1:51rep so I'm going to stay with sets of 4
- 1:55until I can get all 10 sets of 4 then
- 1:57I'm gonna go to 10 sets of 5 and I'll
- 2:01stay with 5 reps until I can get all 10
- 2:03sets of 5 and then I'm going to go two
- 2:05sets of 6 until they can get all reps
- 2:07with sets of 6
- 2:12okay day three ladders so I've already
- 2:16done a video on ladders so this should
- 2:18be pretty simple you're going to be
- 2:20doing a standard ascending ladder
- 2:22workout starting with one rep and
- 2:23working your way up to as many runs as
- 2:25you can do before fatigue prevents you
- 2:27from exceeding your previous rung so for
- 2:30instance if you do one and then two and
- 2:33three you do four but that fourth rung
- 2:36is starting to get challenging and your
- 2:39technique is starting to break down a
- 2:40little you're gonna go back down to one
- 2:42you're not going to attempt five until
- 2:44you're confident that you can get all
- 2:46five reps so you're gonna take a strict
- 2:4930-second rest between each from and
- 2:52each ladder and you're gonna perform a
- 2:54total of five ladders for this day
- 2:57alright so like I said run this program
- 2:59for eight weeks and you can expect to
- 3:02see a 50 to 100 percent increase in your
- 3:03max that's pretty typical so there you
- 3:06guys have it I hope you enjoyed the
- 3:07content if you have any questions let me
- 3:09know please like the video don't forget
- 3:12to subscribe and I will see you later
- 3:13thanks
