I’m currently enlisted and trying to cut and increase my maximum pull up count but it’s ass (max 4 neutral grip)...

Also from my experience I hope you enjoy pissing and doing a full spread in front of old ass dudes

Man's gotta do what he gotta do, player

I don’t know my unit currently

is my 1 min dead hang time killing my pull ups progression? i have been stuck on 6-9 for 1 year. please halp!

If you go to fort leonard wood, as about private scales, or the guy who shaved his entire head.
It's been a year and a half, but it might still be going around.
Also if you are reserves in Arkansas, I can tell you what your unit is.

my man.

prepare for shit, you'll never get to do your job.

Why would it

3 sets pullups
3 sets chinups
Every other day
Do some negatives at the end every now and then

What in the actual fuck, OP.
It's either I have twig legs or you have zero idea how to pullup
t. 6' 200lbs@20%bf 12 pullups

Try this:
lat. pulldown 50-60% of your bw - 5x12
cable low row superset with t-bar row 4x10
dumbbell bent over row superset with hammer curl - 5x10
preacher curl superset with cross-body alternating hammer curl 5x10

My original contract was 42A Human Resources, but I thought fuck it if I’m enlisting I wanna do more than sit behind a desk and besides small arms repair the only other job available was CBRN so I’m assuming it’s gonna be a good time unless North Korea or Israel starts using chem bombs

OP can't do more than 4 pullups, imagine how low that volume would be.

Upon reviewing my contract, my reserve unit is based in Saint Charles Missouri but if I can remember I’ll definitely ask around

I played football for 4 years In highschool, I had a decent bench, squat, deadlift. I could pretty much do over 200 in every lift relatively easily besides snatch but I never once tried improving my pull-ups, like this month is the first time I’ve gone out of my way to try repetitions of pull-ups ever. I’ll try those exercises though

idk. should i be doing negatives to reach 12 reps when i'm done with my normal pulls?

I’m not super out of shape, I just need some ways I can get my pull up count to around 7-10 in 24 days if at all possible

I'm out of shape AF (by my own standards)
I've been doing what I've mentioned (although with pullups before everything else) for 3 months now

thank me later nigga

looks like you're doin chins

t-nation.com/training/tip-do-the-russian-fighter-pull-up-program

Brit light role infanteer here. I always recommend to new blokes that they do PSPS for overall functional strength and muscular endurance.

PSPS is basically, Pull, Sit, Push, Squat:

50 pullups (5/10)
150 situps (15/30)
150 pushups (15/30)
300 squats (30/60)

If you arent that fit then break it into 10 sets, if youre fit aim for 5 sets, numbers required per set for each shown above as (10 set/5 set). 60 seconds rest at sets 5 & 8 if 10 sets, 2 & 4 if 5 sets. Its a good little circuit, should only take about 15-20 minutes if you smash it. Supplement with hill sprints, long slow jogs and tabbing for best overall fitness increase.

Back wise this is the most defined my back has ever been, and that was my in shape albeit all bench press and core workouts

Currently if I were to do this I’d have to break it into 10 sets atleast for the pull-ups, for the rest 5 wouldn’t be hard at all

Retard, here. What are the numbers in parenthesis?

Also I’m not sure if the photo makes it obvious but I mainly did shoulders, arms and legs compared to everything else

How many days a week would you do this workout user?

Break it into whatever sets you need to, obviously the goal is to decrease overall sets over time as well as the total time taken. If you arent sweating youre going too easy. Just keep a running tally as you go along so if youre diffy a few pull ups you can do them at the end.

The numbers in the brackets are for if youre doing it in 10 sets or 5 sets. So if youre breaking the circuit down into 10 sets, thats 5 pullups, 15 sit ups, 15 push ups, 30 squats. If 5 sets, its 10, 30, 30, 60. Hope that helps.

Ah, okay. Thanks.

Not negative grip, negative pullups

As in do a pull up starting from the top

I normally do 25-40km on the watt bike for a bit of leg burn and cardio, followed by a circuit such as PSPS or the chunder circuit, then followed by 15 minutes of muay thai to finish off. Normally about 4-5 times a week, will sometimes do a run instead of the bike, and a tab or other activity on the weekend.

If you want good progress relatively fast without time or effort i suggest using performance enhancing drugs.

Amazing thanks user. Hoping to go royal marines officer and i want to max out my pushups pull ups and sit ups so this is ideal

No worries, good luck mate. Bear in mind most of the tests involve hoofing about with weight, so get used to tabbing and running with a bit of weight. Build up slowly, avoid tarmac, pack correctly, wear proper footwear.

Pic related is some of the operational fitness tests, if you can breeze them by the time you go for your phase 1 itll give you a good base to build from.

Active duty Marine here. Buy a pull up bar and put it up in a doorway you go through often and do a set every time you walk past it. This is called grease the groove training and is extremely effective at increasing pull ups at your level. Once you’re able to do around 8 look up the Armstrong pull up routine. I doubt you’ll get there before you ship but after you get to about 18-20 buy a dip belt and add 25lbs. When you are able to do 10 reps with it add 5lbs and repeat. Also make sure to work on your running. I think the army’s fitness test if like 1.5-2 miles so it’s not that bad but you should still make sure you can run that i with good time. I recommend HIIT type workouts and sprints for this. Best of luck.

FAGGOT POG YOU DIDNT ENLIST YET YOU JUST SWORE IN AT MEPS UNTIL YOU ARE AT RECRUIT TRAINING YOU DIDNT ENLIST HOLY FUCK I HOPE YOU GET RAPED BY A DRILL SERGEANT YOU ARMY BITCH

Shut up faggot, rank mos duty station. Probably some bitch unit. Dont ever recommend doorframe pullup bars. In oki i knocked 2 of them off the door drunk af and couldve died
>inb4 retard
Yeah bitch obviously

Calory deficit, high protein

Ask me how I know you were doing crossfit_pullups.gif instead of proper ones.

Ask me how I got used to banging out pullups quick af so i had time to find a partner who would 100% say i got a hundred crunches when I moved less than the fatbodies

you are not currently enlisted, you just swore in fucking retard

Cpl 0331 Pendleton. Don’t do pull ups like a retard and you’ll be fine. Also Okinawa isn’t a real deployment kys.

Since this has become the army PT thread,

What exercises will help me with rucking? Just doing more squats or deadlifts? I can hit the infantry standard, however I will be living in Egypt for the next year and won’t have access to a framed rucksack

Never said it was. But its the only real duty station. Anyway, im guessing youre the overweight corporal who never goes to pt if youre on Jow Forums on the weekend

Sounds like you’re a terminal lance

Was. And thats mr senior lance to you

Listen.
Do pullups every day inbetween your regular sets, for every work out, and work out every day.

Went from deadhangs to 4 pullups to 10 pullups yesterday all within under 2 months using this method

>guy who shaved his entire head
isn't this kind of standard in the army

Just get your core lifts huge so you have bulletproof back and knees.

100 sailors go out to sea and return with 50 _______

>couples

how the hell they let you in being that fat?

And you sound like pog boot who should post his body

Holy fuck boot. You have to deploy to be a senior lance.

Dd214 grants immunity to post body requests and insults from motivators

Well, without getting into the weeds too much. 5-8 reps of an exercise per set seems to be the sweet spot for strength and hypertrophy gains.

If you can't hit that sweet spot/get past it, then you need to make the exercise easier or do an exercise variation that is easier. For example, you could buy a set of resistance bands, wrap the most resistant one around it and do it for reps. Progress after something like this.

Day 1 (thickest band):
Set 1: 5
Set 2: 5
Set 3: 5

Day 2:
Set 1: 7
Set 2: 6
Set 3: 5

etc.

Until you hit 3 sets of 8. Then progress to the smaller band.

Then eventually you'll hit 3 sets of 8 without the bands. Then you have a few different routes:

Route 1: Repeat a similar process but for higher volume. I honestly wouldn't go higher than 12-15 reps, though, because then you're going into endurance. I know you want max pull ups, but this next route I think is better for overall strength gains.

Route 2: Similar process as above but instead of using bands to help you, use weights to help you progress. Staying in the 5-8 rep range will keep hypertrohpy/strength gains coming and indirectly help your volume.

If you can do 8 clean reps of pullups with a bunch of weight added, you can definitely do more without the added weight.

If you want more info on general strength training info (albeit a bit focused on bodyweight strength training), I recommend Overcoming Gravity by Steven Low.

Regularly stretch out your hip flexors and hamstrings. Get used to taking larger strides and walking faster and maintaining it. Cycling is really good as it both aids cadence and muscular endurance in your legs/increases ability to deal with lactic acid. Also, go out and tab with lighter weight at a faster pace, and build up until you are doing faster than goal pace with the goal weight, and then goal pace with heavier weight.

Enjoy getting your legs blown off for Israeli interests lmao

When you're training to do many pull ups in succession it does not matter how many you can do in succession when training. What matters is how many you do daily.

Therefore i recommend getting a pullup bar inside your house so you can do them all the time during the day.

You know you don't need pullups in the army, right?

Do 100 pull ups a day.

L O S E W E I G H T

Even 10 lbs will make pullups a lot easier

What type of form are we talking here? I can do 60~ push ups, but I can only do around 30 real pushups

Pretty rigid, i.e hands no wider than shoulders, going all the way up and going down to about a fists height off the ground. If it helps to do them faster then feel free.

If you want to improve your push ups, nominate a push up room in your house, for example your kitchen. Every time you go into the nominated room, do 10 diamond push ups, 10 normal and 10 wide. Alternately, just commit yourself to doing 100 good form push ups, even if towards the end youre doing 1 every 5 minutes and shaking like a leaf. Do that every other day for a week, then add 50. Keep doing that until youre happy.
