Gymecels how do I progress on pullups?

[Panzram]

I have been able to do 7 pullups 2.5 to 3 months ago and have been greasing the groove since then doing some pullups everyday (almost) and can now do 11 on a good day. Still, that seems like slow progress to me. Would training to failure twice a week or so be better? I have done two sessions to failure so far (three sets to failure 10/7/4 reps) and tried to do a 20 kg weighted pullup today and failed halfway, at the same point I usually fail when I try that lift. What to do?

increase your volume

Increase reps have a bar at home and just stack

Three times a week, three sets to failure does that sound enough?

I got rings at home its what I use.

weighted pullups, makes normal pullups feel easy ash, do like 5kg u will feel the difference

I can do five reps of 10 kg. I should probably do that. 20 kg is impossible now.

are you doing calisthenics bc i do and my reps per week are usually between 200-300

 

[Panzram]

I mean I just do pullups and pushups for now, reps are maybe a 100 per week idk. I have made sandbags from cordura by hand and will implement that soon when the fucking rain stops. Been raining like a week now. Wanna focus on calisthenics and sandbags. I have a 60 kg one I shoulder from time to time in my room, but I need the outside to be dry to do some carries.

 

[Panzram]

I have bought into greasing the groove meme when I just need to grind like a madman.

 

[bimaxmaxxer]

Pullups are a great exercise for the back in general. Specially lats. One of the things that makes this exercise so great is that it has no impact on the lower back, you can basically spam pullups everyday if you want to, because it regenerates the best right after calves.
I personally do 3 sets till failure with each 8-12 reps.

To get stronger you have to do them regulary till you are strong enough to increase intensity(weight).

 

[It'snotover]

Besides spamming more of them once you are fully recovered if you are not eating in a surplus expect a slow progression

Wide grip, do it controlling the movement, dont just fall down and jump with legs, try to "feel" your lats while doing it, focus on it. It is proven to increase hypertrophy, you can search is yourself. Also you should straighten your back out as much as u can and criss cross your legs so they wont help you pulling up

Also i recomend doing it in the beggining of the workout of your back day to warmup

I got rings in the house just need the outside for sandbag carries I want to do. Its muddy asf and wet now.

I recomend doing only the last set till failure, until then have 1-2 reps shortly of failure, like keep them. And if you're doing weighed pull ups you gotta do it with a weight with which u can atleast do 6 clean reps

 

[Panzram]

That would be like 8 kg. I can do 10 for five.

As long as you can do 1-2 reps more in the next workout its fine

I was confused on this since some say do every set to failure, but that will lead to fewer reps total in my sets, so you are right, I think.

 

[One Rep Max]

Try to do more reps with shorter rest to build endurance
then eventually also work on your form like dead hanging and getting a deep stretch all the way down all the way up

Just let your back rest. If you feel its good its probably not. Back day should be done 1 time a week on average, unless you're having a backday season u can do it twice. And if u didnt gain any additional reps (considering having 1-2 reps shortly of failure) in 3-4 workous then lower the weight

I keep my form as good as I can, deep stretch and no kipping. Gonna go for more volume, 1-2 reps in reserve until the last set and less rest. I used to rest for three minutes gonna cut to 90 sec.

gradually increase reps overtime from time to time do muscle overload like increasing your reps dramatically like me this month i usually do between 250-350 push ups every week but this month i will increase my reps by a lot by this way i will increase my work compacity

Yep 3 minutes is too long. Ideal imo is 1.5-2 minutes to keep your muscle stimulated during the workout. You dont want it to relax

I had the wrong idea that if I rested longer I can get more reps next set. Gonna try shorter rest now. I am very new to this shit never worked out in my life. I was in good shape most my 20s until recently because I was active and did manual labor so never had the will to workout or even the need for just general fitness. I was able to do 12-13 pullups untrained when I was active in early 20s, usually in a park with friends to see who can do the most lol. Weighed 65kg then and I weigh 75kg now, all the gain is fat, went from skinny to skinny fat lmao In the last 2 years.

 

[gymcel64]

your form is most probably shit like every little cuck that says they can do 20 pull ups (that's not you I know). So focus on doing the whole movement very slowly, especially the negative and go all the way down, till you hang, you need to have an absolute focus on form.

Did you just assume my form is bad, bigot? Appreciate the advice, but I make sure my form is good. Getting laid is not gonna happen anytime soon tho, unfortunately.

 

[uksucks]

Do less each set so overall more sets and volume

U should go for more reps the next workout. Progressive overload, ask chat gpt whats that

start with lat pulldown if pullups r too hard, then progressive' overload and start with pullups and then increase reps. or you can do another easy way and be light af (60KG)

 

[Panzram]

Debating should I post a video of my form on a 10 rep set. I just filmed it but forgot to put pants on, I was in my fucking boxers so I will not be posting a vid. However, I found something weird in my form. The closer I am to failure the more I shrug my shoulders up, wtf.
