alright so u are in a beginner/ intermediate level , u need to do lot of volume, u can do ladders like 6x1-2-3-2-1 pull ups with 5'' pause and 1,30'' minute rest between sets, and after u can do 5x12 australian pull ups 1' rest

what advantage does that have over just doing regular sets

 

[jake_okok]

Pull ups are weird the progression is really slow
But you hit a plateu and then keep doing them and you increase by 5 idk its strange

 

[Deleted member 13021]

what advantage does that have over just doing regular sets

More time under tension probably

 

[Deleted member 14344]

more volume, its one of the best ways

 

[ifyouwannabemylover]

more volume, its one of the best ways

I'll try

Once you can do like 10 you should start adding weight.

 

[qsabathi]

You probably gained weight. When I was 160 I could do close to 30. But I also did rock climbing while growing up. Now I’m 185 and after COVID I can barely do 15. The best way to progress with pull ups is to do other exercises IMO. So stuff like deadlifts and shoulder press. Or doing a sport that needs you to use your lats. Although If you didn’t gain weight you probably didn’t sleep or eat enough.

I can do 30 pull ups in a row full range of motion, but I’m very low body fat

Do weighted pull-ups

 

[Gargantuan]

I've had gradual improvements for a very long time and it took me just over a year to finally hit a plateau.

I started doing pull-ups with the assisted pull-up machine (because I wasn't able to perform any proper pull-ups, back then), back in late 2019 and I was able to do 30 in a row, without any assistance, in early 2021.

I mainly do weighted pull-ups these days.

I used to do the assisted pull-up before the gyms closed down. then I just went straight to non-assisted at home and realized how bad that thing sucked.

 

[Constantin Denis]

I don't do pullups but I can do 35 pushups and still improving. Still hard to progress.
