I'm going to spend my vacation at my families farmhouse where I installed a pullup bar not long ago. I'll stay there for 2 and a half weeks and intend to train, taking advantage of the calm, fresh air and everything.
Currently, I can do 8 pullups and would like to progress as much as possible during these 2.5 half weeks. If I can reach 11-12 pullups I'd be happy, 15 would be even better but probably unrealistic.
My question is simply: how should I train to gain as much pullups in that 2.5 week timeframe?
Find a belt and add weight. Test your 1rm and 5rm. Bodyweight will seem like nothing if you can do 5 good pullups with 45 lbs added
Ryan Parker
greasing the groove
Matthew Brooks
what's your equipment?
Angel Nelson
Realise that pullups are a back exercise and go from there.
Andrew Ross
Weighted pull ups or a fuckton of volume are your only options. Do sets of 5 with body weight until you can't do another rep or do sets of 5 with added weight and back off the weight so you can consistently do 5 reps. Also, when you are failing to do a pull up and you're too fatigued throw some negatives in there. Good luck user!

Work on the muscle-up
>Bodyweight will seem like nothing if you can do 5 good pullups with 45 lbs added Bullshit. Can you do 25 pull up in a row. in a row?
Greasing the groove or russian fighter pull-up program. Pick one
Asher Walker
Grease the groove.
Do a shit load of submaximal sets throughout the day.
Jayden Scott
get a rucksack for 1 dollar off ebay
put stones in it
progress
sounds simple and is simple and works

>what's your equipment? A bar and a judo belt which could serve as an improvised dip belt. For weight, I'm sure I could improvise something, it's a farmhouse after all.

Swing harder you manlet, your fucking monkeys genes are showing.
Cooper Russell
This. This is the only realistic way to get your pullups up in a short time it took me 6 months to go from 4 to 12 pullups but I reckon if I “greased the groove” instead of weighted pullups once a week I could have hit 20.
Is it possible to achieve "muscle-stand"? By that i mean going from a pullup position into a muscleup and then do a handstand on top of the bar.
Benjamin Butler
Fwucckkk, calisthenicsfag here, I can bump out handstands on a bar, pull ups, and muscle ups, but that shit sounds a little much, I'm sure somebody can do it, but that would be some impressive ass shit.
Ian Howard
You know what to work on next, user.
Parker Gray
>tfw dislocated shoulder doing wide grip lat pulldown. Too scared to do anything other than narrow grip.
Can I still make the gains I need?
Juan Price
unironically recommend 50pullups.com except they advocate more [slightly] more rest days than i took at first. very clean linear (ish) progression got me from 5 to 18 pull ups in ~5 months, bbut granted i lost ~25 lbs as well
Gabriel Foster
You blew my mind user, I will do this (not OP)
Leo Clark
user, I too train calisthenics. Any advice on progressing my dips using just 2 chairs? Right now I do 5x5 45lb weighted vest dips.
