I can't do a single pull up, please help

Every video I watch on the topic is like "can't do pull ups? Just do pull ups bro"

that's legit though man, trust me
i could barely manage one when i started, now i can do 8-10 per set

literally just try hard as you can to do one, then do that 3 times every other day and you'll eventually manage more and more
if you literally physically can't even manage one, i've heard negatives are the way forward, i.e use a chair or something to position yourself in the pull-up finish position and hang like that for a few seconds before slowly lowering yourself

Wide grip lat pull downs

Work out your triceps more, lose more weight fatty, and use the assisted machine like a faggot

Do assisted pull ups till you can do regular pull ups. Was in the same boat as you and now i do 3x10 every workout.

Jump or climb to the bar and do negatives. Descend as slowly as possible. 3 sets until failure. Then lat pulldowns 8-10 reps with weight that allows good form..

All of these people are fucking retarded

This guy has it sort of right.


Do as many pullups as you can(even if it's one) followed by 3x8 negatives, then move onto doing lat pulldowns and rows.

Do this every back workout.

Guarantee you in a month you'll be able to do 5-8 pullups

>call the guy who suggested lat pulldown a retard
>proceed to suggest doing lat pulldown
What did xhe mean by this?

What's an assisted pull up ?

>negatives
dyel newfag here, what's that?

you either get a bro to push you up (homo) or use the machine (no homo)

Or use bands

>what's that
It's when you do regular pullups but you think about negative shit like aids, war or fat to pump yourself

You probably have horrible setup and form and weak traps or are fat as shit. Assuming you aren't fat I highly recommend you do scapular pullups while hanging to first accomplish the first part of the movement and build up a strong base to perform pullups from. If you can bang out 10-20 scapular pullups with ease and still can't perform a full pull-up, then start doing rows and negative pull ups until you can't manage a pull-up.

I can't stress the importance of learning proper scapular positioning in performing pullups. Look it up and train it.

Protip: pullups are easier when your body is in total alignment with every muscle flexed from your core to your toes.

One thing I find for myself is that a lot of the time I'm having trouble because I assume I know how to do it when I don't. Watching a couple of how-to vids sometimes mentions something I didn't do.

Because it's true. Just hang from the bar and try to pull yourself for a few reps until you can actually do it.

lol

Lol, nigga,, just grab the bar and pull yourself up, it's really easy!!

But seriously, just start of with hanging and/or get some of those rubber bands to assist you.

Can confirm, just holding yourself in place and then doing negatives with a stool will help

this worked for me

Female, female(male), or male(female)?

hilarious

Not the guy but it's not uncommon for people not being able to do pull-ups from the get go.
I'm a big boy, can only do one and it's not pretty.

Yeah I'm just being a cock because there's already been good advice here. I'd have recommended negatives otherwise.

Just do pullups bro.

>just do pull ups, bro. I barely did one in past, now I'm doing 5x25
>gotta work damn muscles, my nigga
>just lose weight, pal
>you need to do negative ones, dude


Don't listen to this bullshit. Most people don't know the feeling and struggle when you can't do even one pull up.

These suggestions are correct from the technical side of the problem, but is an absolute shit to follow. You won't see direct connection between losing 1 kg and ability to perform one pull up.

Reason why first pull up is difficult for average / slightly overweight person is that is uses different muscle groups, and some of them aren't used in every day life. That's why the most effective advice is: just do more or negative ones, because you are actually activating all muscles in this case.

Therefore, the most reliable solution is resistance bands.
* Buy one and hook it up on bar, choose the one with which you can do at least 1-3 pulls up without cheating.
* Look up the proper form with shoulders on average wight
* Now get your ass to work, your goal to do 3x8 with current medical band, use rest days before sessions
* when you managed to do it, switch to another band 10 kg lighter
* from my experience you will be able to do 1 pull up after the 25-35 kg band

Now you can actually build up numbers with proper form, 3x12 should be achievable in the same fashion. Anything more will require new methods like weight backpack.

For me and my lazy young brother it took 1.5 month from no pulls up to 3 pulls up without bands, staring with 45 kg band.

There, now you don't have excuses, buy a pull up bar, bands, and get to work.

Can confirm, negatives are the way to go. Trained with lots of tall, big dudes who struggled to get one out due to shit stengrh to weight ratios. Negatives are the only thing that helped.

I used to be the same my nigga and now I do them in sets of 20 (whole reps with no kipping). Unironically just build upper body strength and if you're fat stop been fat

Negatives, in barely a month of negatives I could start doing regular pullups.

Are you female. As if your female it will take you months to do a single pull ups.

If your male, then just pull yourself up bro.

Do negatives, assisted pullups, lat pulldowns (you really need to contract your shoulders), rows of all types (again contract shoulders), bicep curls, chin ups.

It took me at least a couple months to be able to do one pull-up.

You can do it user

This

they say you should never mix negatives with positives otherwise it wont work. Is that true?

Same
I did negatives and bodyrows/australian pull-ups and also scapula pull-ups
