why my pull ups number doesn't go up i'm 80kg?
i've been doing pull ups for 18 months
i take like 2-4 rest days between my sessions
and i've been stuck at like 10 pull ups in a row for like 4 months sometimes i'm able to do 11-12-13 (13 was my max) then the next sessions im back at 10-11 pull ups wtf is this
i do like 20 sets of 7-11 (until i reach 150 basically go almost go to failure every set)
are you eating enough?
idk sometimes i fast for 20hours then eat like a pig before sleeping (junk food, pizzas, burgers, meat, fries and lots of fruits) so i need to change my diet
i've no idea if im eating enough but the next day i feel full so i fast for 20 hours until the night
18 consecutive for 1 year.
Moved on to weighted.
too fat guess why the best athletes are around BMI 20 - 23
80kg (180lbs) isn't even big i've seen people that were 220lbs that could do like 25 pull ups
i would like to lose like 10lbs of fat and bulk to a lean 225lbs body but idk if it's possible natty
did weighted improve your reps ?
>did weighted improve your reps ?
No, not yet at least.
I was stuck at max 12 pull ups, then switched to weighted pull ups, worked my way up to four sets of five reps with 34kg attached and suddenyl could do 15-17 unweighted pull ups.
20 Sets and going to failure every set might be way too much. There's a program called grease the groove or something like that which should get your pull up count up
alright i'm going to try weighted pull ups harder too
How are you doing sets of 20 sets of 7-11 when your max is 13? Even if that’s spread around the day, you shouldn’t be able to do 20 sets that close to your max reps, so you are doing something, probably a lot of things wrong.
Just go on a proven progression scheme instead of wasting your time.
idk i just do my sets until i reach 150 reps for at the beginning i can do 10-11 reps until like 100 and during the last few sets 5-7 reps
and it takes me like 40 mins
>Just go on a proven progression scheme instead of wasting your time.
any you would recommend ?
I would condense my reps by doing something like this:

thanks
does it still work if i do more than they say but still take the 5days of rest ?
also you are supposed to do pull ups 27 days in a row i can barely do a pull up the next day
>basically go almost go to failure every set
Overtraining. Next!
so what am i supposed to do if my max is 10?
>do set of 7 rest 30 seconds do set of 7 again (probably close to failure or failure)
>do set of 7 rest 2mins do set of 7 again (easy as frick)
so it's either going to failure or too easy to make progress i don't understand how i am supposed to train
There is no such thing as overtraining. OP is obviously not eating enough or sleeping well.
Do a couple of hard sets every day
Do this for a couple of weeks
Then take 7-10 days off
Then retest max
Repeat
kinda hard to do them everyday because i'm already doing push ups and dips often and my back can be sore from deadlifts/zercher exercices but i might try it thanks
The point is to drill down hard, then recover a ton and supercompensate
You might even want to cut back on the pressing just to break through this pullup plateau
Good luck mate
>The point is to drill down hard, then recover a ton and supercompensate
you just changed my training mindset with that that sounds super interesting and from the stories of how some athletes trained it makes sense too thanks
Try it and see if it works for you, if not keep try harder, try other methods, keep trying

I'm 80kg too.
Can barely get my forehead above the far for 6 reps with kipping. But I can row my bodyweight, so I'm thinking pull ups are a stupid excercise for homosexuals
I'm also seeing more progress from rows than pull ups
Been there, done that. Rows work your upper back. Pullups work your lats. Do both. Your lats are lagging. You'll thank me later. I'm in the same boat.
