We been doing pull ups for any length of time you-re probably able to do quite a bit of them. For many people, bodyweight exercises often get used as rep builders meaning that they continue to do more and more reps rather than finding methods to increase overload. There-s nothing wrong with doing sets of high rep pull ups. There is probably no other exercise that is a demonstration of an athletes overall body command and athleticism than the pull up but if you-re after hypertrophy, high rep sets of anything isn-t going to get you where you want to be as well as good old fashion overload. The simplest way to overload on pull-ups is by adding weight but a lot of calisthenic practitioners may not have access to weights. That-s where todays tip comes can help. We know that the eccentric portion of the lift allows us a great opportunity to exploit the sort of micro damage that can lead to protein synthesis and therefore hypertrophy. Problem is, if you-re really good at pull ups you-re going to spend a lot of time on the bar. The eccentric phase of the exercise also happens to be the strongest portion of the exercises. By incorporating today-s technique you-re able to combine the strength of the eccentric phase with the disadvantage of performing what is essentially an assisted one arm pull up. To incorporate this technique perform the concentric portion of the lift as you normally would. Once you reach the fully contracted state, the top of a pull up, shift your weight to the right side of your body and concentrate on unweighting the left side by applying less force. To begin, you may want to take a finger or two off of the bar, if you-re not quite comfortable doing that you can elicit the desired response by just intentionally applying less force through your left side. Allow the 1 arm to assist as you take the eccentric all the way to the bottom position. Once your at the bottom perform another 2 arm pull up as you normally would. Upon reaching the full contracted state this time you would focus on applying less force with your right hand. Continue in this manner, alternating from side to side until you-ve completed all the reps you can with good form. If you apply this tip into your pull ups I guarantee you-re going to see new all new gains. Additionally you may be on your way to acquiring the strength required to do your first one arm pull up. If you want to start building a bigger, stronger back then you need to be training the proper way. At ATHLEAN-X we put the science back in strength. Head to to get the ATHLEAN-X Training System.

After dislocating my left shoulder during a stunt in a play. I was at my physical peak at the time. I was practicing IF and fasted training. Changed my life. For me, it helped me blow through plateaus I had for about 2 years. I was a lean 145 and trained hard to prepare for the play. I got to a point where I added a 20lb. vest and a 20 lb dumbbell for 6 reps, then finish with 4 body weight reps x 3 sets. After the injury I saw an orthopedic doctor, first question I asked -when can I do pull ups again? - It took me 12 weeks before I could do pull ups (beating his 6 month number) and another year before getting back to my previous peak.
I changed my traditional, added weight pull up warm up to this exercise today. All that added weight is NOTHING COMPARED TO THIS GODLY VARIATION OF THIS PULL UP!
You have changed my life. I can only do 3 each side and I-m exhausted. This insane!
Thank you Jeff!

I don't know why you only suggest the negative part of the exercise for this. I recently started doing almost all my basic body weight exercises by simply shifting more weight over to one side on the positive part and even more on the negative. The first time i did this for 4 pullup sessions, thinking only of my arms really, and about 10 or 11 days later i did my usual pullups and was shocked to find i had suddenly improved from 10 perfect form to 15 in that time. Ever since i've been doing most of my basic exercises - pushups, dips, shoulder press - like this with just body weight and seen great strength gains in all.

Dear bro
I really need your help.
I have not had good sleep in many days.
The thing is, I go to gym on alternate days sir. On The days I go to gym, I have very very troubled sleep.
But on the rest days I sleep better.
Usually
7 to 8 pm - gym
8: 30 pm - shower
10pm - dinner
11pm - bed
But its very depressing I'm not sleeping till 3 pm. And every morning I wake up by 7am automatically. But very tired.
Gym trainers do not give good reason. Internet has no good information.
Kindly help me sleep bro.

Hello. I'm sorry to ask you a bit longer question, but I just have to. I am 15 years old, I'm 178 meters high and I have 67 kg, I practice kickboxing 3 times a week. I want to have a six pack but I just do not have it, and as far as I know, I'm not fat. Now the question is whether I need to train the stomach every day, or to rest one? . Because in your application there is a day off, and in one video you have said more training. And should I run or not? Sorry for the long question, but please answer it. Greetings from Serbia.

Can you do a video on how many sets, reps, time between sets abs need to be done with. In 2 previous videos you talked about ab functions and the order of doing the abs, can a new video also include do you do one workout focusing on functions and next on lower, obliques, etc. Because it doesn't seem there are many upper ab endurance. I hope this makes sense. There are reactive that work obliques like the ping pong slams and lower, upper, obliques like the swiss ball abcs, right? Thanks

In the beginning I could do 15 reps 3 sets long (bodyweight, then I started adding weight like 10 kg and did 6 reps 4 sets and when I was done with the weighted I did 2 sets body weight till failure (which were about 8 reps. After adding weight I could do 22 pull ups in one set. I did this routine for some time. I increased my weighted pull ups by 15kg. Now I tried to do 22 bodyweight pulI ups again and now i can barley hit 12 pull ups in one set? What should I do?

Hey Jeff, I wanted to ask you what you think about working out every hour. Like, little sets every hour, say you wake up at 10 am and sleep at 10 pm, that's 12 hours, you're working out 10 to 11 of those hours and saving 1 for your daily routine, in those 10 to 11 hours you divide the routine, like, say you do 20 knuckle, diamond and fingertip pushups every hour until your routine/sleep. is this effective or recommended or just dumb? would a giant 3 hour workout be better?

This is the Jeff Cavalier I've learned everything from. He made a big impact on me just about a year ago when I started chosing fitness over physical self destruction and started my fixation on the complete opposite. I didn't know enough and he showed me everything. These days I live a healthy life and people tell me I'm ripped. That's a plus but more importantly is the path my life has taken and honestly speaking, Jeff guided me every step of the way. Thank you.
