    you should because it's a good all round upper body exercise that hits a lot of muscle groups and some exercise is better than no exercise.
    you shouldn't because you're creating muscle imbalances by neglecting pushing exercises and lower body muscle groups, and because 10 sets every day is over training, not giving enough time for muscles to recover and grow, and risking repetitive stress injuries like tendonitis.

      So if I did 10 sets of pull ups every other day or twice/thrice a week whatever, would that be an okay idea for hypertrophy?

        Literally can't do much better than that for back hypertrophy. Mix up your grip types/widths and you're golden

          No. You'll always see twinks deadlift 5+ plates, but you'll never ever see a twink chinup +100 lbs his bodyweight. Chinups are king for size

          sth for rear delts and sth for traps - no, twisting and turning under rows to get proper rear delt exhaustion will only lead to bicep tendonitis

      This isnt a horrible idea, I did this for a bit and saw gains, but you will see better results by purchasing a dip belt (good ones are like 40$) and just filling a bucket with stuff, since a backpack puts strain on shoulders.

    Essentially impossible to get gains if you are only doing 10 sets a day. You really only get pullup gains if you do like 4x10 or 3-12 and add weight every month or so. Even then it is really hard.

        Confusing is that he says 10 sets are not enough and then recommends 4x10

    there isnt any reason you shouldnt. pull ups/chin ups are probably the best singular exercise you can do for strength that doesnt require much equipment, dips are probably a close second.

      Do you have somewhere to pull-up at home? Easy way to see gains is to just do 1 pull up like every 30 mins throughout the whole day in addition to the rest of your work out

      1. Get an exercise band and use it to help you squeeze out a few more pull ups until failure after your 2 pull ups without the band.
      2. If you don't have a band and don't want to get one then hop up to the bar, hold yourself for a split second in the position that would be the top of your range of motion when doing a pull up and slowly lower yourself to the bottom over the course of 5 seconds and repeat until failure.
      3.Another method is greasing the groove where you do the exercise many times through out the day but don't go to failure.

    You will need some other exercised like dips and squats to see quicker gains (if you're more of a calisthenics guy). However, pullups are unironically physique builders, its probably the only exercise which can build a decent physique alone.

        Ya, it’s certainly nothing special, and can be achieved in a much shorter timeframe if you do other things than just chin-ups. But I was just trying to give op a reasonable outcome to expect from doing just chin-ups.

    I'm struggling to do even 1 pull up but I'm trying since May. I do the progressions, I bought resistance bands to get prepared for the real thing, but it feels fricking impossible. At best I can do 2. And I feel it more in my forearms and biceps and never in my back. I'm only 77kg and 189cm, so I guess it's not about my weight.

      Arch your back, do negative pull ups
      Get good at chin ups first, you might just be an internal puller rather than external puller

    How many reps would you be doing per set? If you can do like 10 reps you should begin to do weighted, then you'll actually be able to progress. Having 10 fricking sets of pullups isn't exactly optimal to make progress.

      I can do weighted pull ups so I'd be dropping weight through out the sets to stay in the 9-12 rep range.

        I see. Well why shouldn't you just keep increasing the weight? Trying to grease the groove or w/e?

          I would be increasing the weight as I get stronger by doing a shitload of pull ups. I'm just trying to see from this thread if there's any advantage to doing an ass ton of sets of a certain exercise over just doing your typical three sets.

            I think 3 sets is not enough for a back day. I would say 10 is a good number if all you're doing is just pullups as long as they're easy for you which apparently you're beyond intermediate level so they are.

    Do 10 sets of pull ups 10 sets of push ups the the next day for awesome growth, also add in dips on that day for maximum upper body gains.

    Day 1: 10 Sets of Pull Ups. (You could do squats on this day as well with as many sets.)
    Day 2: 10 Sets of Push Ups and Dips.

    Always remember the 5 count hold at toughest spot to increase strength and gains.
