17 Commando Pull Up Challenge

[StreamingKnowledge]

I'm kinda out od shape.. lemme just do 10 pull-ups.

[oldstock1607]

sorry....but in the military, those are known as "man-overboards"

[JDkillaBoY]

so easy, they put their legs in front of them

[jrk987]

What kind of workout do you do? I'm 17 years old btw, and really skinny.

[j69d]

Would you change sides afterwards?

[TamasMZPERX]

I can do 10. It is exactly the same than my normal pull ups. So, I just remain at normal pull ups.

[grayhunter80]

I'd recomend using commando pro for higher heights but overall good job

[thehopewellkid]

focus on form and control first the numbers will come later, theres on sence doing a bunch of crappy pull ups, i usually do a couple sets of 10 very slow and controled pull ups, im not worried about numbers. love pull ups

p.s commando pull ups should be alternated from one side to the other

[zamamattiolo]

so many haters on youtube...!!! let the kid do his things... and dont hate.

[kitterik]

i thought commando pull ups were one handed?? LIIIAARRRRR : P

[dannytafdj]

m8t i wud murder that 17 is a serious poor effort for sumbody in ur shape

[100tonlifter]

Lol - out of shape xD - SHUT UP FATTY YOU DON'T DESERVE TO TALK. The 6 pack really threw me off

[rockbodyfitness]

what makes you think you are out of shape in terms of pullups? 17 is a pretty respectable number no matter which way you do it.

[eddiegomez28]

i could do like 30 easy

[cosminso1230]

i dont got a lot of muscle but i could do about 9 :)

[Virus000888]

none of those would count in the marine corps... u gotta go all the way down.. u dont lock out ur elbows once.... but if ur trying to count partial pull ups, then i guess its legitimate

[rafaelxperez]

Those don't count. Homey didn'y go all the way down for full extensions. Que joto!

[rafaelxperez]

Those don't count. Homey didn'y go all the way down for full extensions. Que joto!

[Od3ri]

13, yay! :D

[ChillMB]

Good job man. Lookin fit out there. Ive fell off. Was doing 20 last year but havent trained for nearly 4 months and can barely get 15 now lol. Gotta watch more of these to motivate myself.

[shailendersain]

for which parts of the body is this exercise?

[lmwhite2]

Yeah you are really out of shape

[GjakBOI89]

lmao i know i am...try being 220 lbs n then see if u can do it..i guess i can really do 5 if i was dared and/ or payed but not for the fuck of it! its too hard when ur 220lbs fuscle (fat n muscle) lol

[Exarsh]

im 200lb and i do 15

[goat6inboots]

have you posted a video of this? That would be impressive. Especially as this guy executes with pretty good form; especially in the first part of the video.

[GjakBOI89]

man i couldnt even do 5 hahahaha

thats sick

[ututorial]

@GjakBOI89 haha

[GjakBOI89]

lmao its true!

[ututorial]

@GjakBOI89 haha i can only do like 2 lmao

[GjakBOI89]

@ututorial lollll i kno it aint as easy as it looks! id be so happy to do ten,,i can do like 60 pushups in a minute tho lol but that aint the same as pull ups..i needa a gym membership jhaha

[ututorial]

@GjakBOI89 i got gym member ship

[foolsbetrippin]

so the maker of this video asked me respond when my shoulder felt better. you should keep me honest, and check my video :)

[Jester995]

Don't mean to be another trash-commenter but that so wasn't 17. At least 7 of those were only half pullups and the rest didn't come to a full stop.

[jayc981]

army pullups are better

[rephore]

Why is the pull ups done at an angle?

[aiobheyw]

i think its because they workout there dominant shoulder more...due to the aftershock most guns give to the shoulder after being shot...this form of pullups trains that shoulder better so its not affected as much by it-

[karo0cja]

im not even close to ur body shape.. tho i can do 10-12 of these. xP

[Allyness92]

there easy! i can do ten no sweat

[Allyness92]

call that out of shape lol

[KChapman333]

So why do you train? I'm sure you have a reason lol, no one works that hard without reason

[xmobster5]

damn  bro.

[crazyrj14]

damn dude you are seriously in shape.

i lost 40 pounds and have alot to do before i hit that!

[oblivion545]

Very good, I wish I was in that kind of shape. I'm not as ripped as that. You must have did a lot of running to lower your body fat that much right?

[DiagonalHorizon]

what do commando pullups work? i do chin-ups (shoulder width apart hands facing towards you), pull-ups (shoulder width apart hands facing away from you), and wide grip pull ups, and I'm thinking that works a lot of the upper body/back. And, I'm only around 100 lbs so im able to do an efficient amount

[DMTSbreakz]

maladec

[KingRockets]

lol "im outta shape right now" yet the mutherfucker is ripped.

[kagolko]

that's what I was about to say. lol

[slamgame71]

@KingRockets lol

[fruitsandpi]

1st guy was good but second one sucked he did it way to fast and didnt go all the way down

[magicnetor]

I can describe this whole video in 1 word :

SHOWOFF

[JAYsmn]

ah dude

haaha

i wish my six pack looked like that

still got one

but now just a few loose cans haha

[Yolandaria]

Bravooo!!!....super :)))

[gabifaney]

my friends on youtube are American and I am Brazilian

[dawer9121]

congratulations, nobody gives a shit!

[mindofexplosion]

well that was gay

[StanAlekseev]

ok sure your buff and can jump like hell but the bar is not definitely not your strong suit

[projectstrength]

i agree. I hit the bar like like once a week. its not my focus right now.

[matdlaw11]

@projectstrength what kind of diet are you on?

[chainkjr]

nice :P

[dirtbiker3192]

think your mister tuff guy. ha you know what theyy say the bigger the guns the smaller the you know what

[Cajounman]

nice. im cut very strong and i have an Eight pack :P and this year's winter training im going to increase my body weight by 100 pounds of Weighted Clothing so im hoping to be very fast and strong like my Master Taught me.

[bunnymatic]

i have a gut and weigh 230 lbs and got at least 30 of these. Ive never done a back workout without doing pullups or weighted pullups.

[LuchyLefty]

pull up hard work

[bloeregard]

"yeah i'm out of shape"....six pack... hahahaha

[knpdyeballarice]

just because someone has a six pack doesn't mean they're in shape. just because someone is well defined doesn't mean they are strong... and it's not the size of the muscle the determines strength either.

[Servant324]

The size (i.e. cross-sectional area) of the muscle is precisely what determines its strength.

[knpdyeballarice]

The following guidelines were pulled from Michael Yessis 1992 book titled The Kinesiology of Exercise. Figures will affect you differently depending on your age, existing fitness level, sex, the phase of the annual cycle you are in, as well as the volume and intensity of the training you are doing.

In general:

1-4 reps increase pure strength but do not increase muscle mass

[McYdys]

well it depends on what you are trying to accomplish. if you want strength for a sport, muscle mass doesn't do shit for you. if you want to be in body building then you want muscle mass.

[knpdyeballarice]

Newb.

[m1kasd]

wrong, its the fiber stimulation. the CNS determines how strong it will be.

[Servant324]

That's like saying if two cars both have gas pedals they'll be equally as fast. It's about the build of the engines that determine their performance. Guess what determines the amount of motor units available for stimulation? Cross-sectional area.

[m1kasd]

you never gain motor units, the amount you are born with is how many you stay with. The fibers can just increase in size a little.

[rebelwithoutacause05]

but you can train your CNS to recruit more motor unit for power activities though.

[m1kasd]

duh, thats how you gain strength! :D

[AdangerousRETARD]

@knpdyeballarice to a point ya, but dont go calling muscled up ppl weak or you might just get your ass kicked...

[knpdyeballarice]

@AdangerousRETARD never called anyone weak.

[Godfather921]

@knpdyeballarice thats right...and you need to weight more than 180 pounds to have a legit six pack...or they are called skinny packs :P

[1080famous]

@knpdyeballarice it means something dumbass? beerbelly or 6 pack, come on use your head.

[knpdyeballarice]

@1080famous sorry I totally forgot I read kinesiology books all the time. Please, if you have better knowledge them me, please inform me. I wasn't talking about beer bellys? try reading michael yessis's kinesiology of exercise.

[ralphieboogerbottoms]

Keep your feet crossed and relaxed, and it will help you put all your energy to the muscles being used directly without wasting energy from swinging and balancing.

Good luck and don't quit!

[JGIncorporation]

Nice pullups and ur obviously in great physical condition but u have the body type to bulk up like crazy..... u prolly like being shredded tho... im a 5'6 powerlifter so more meathead than shred but very nice video.... and other people commenting unless u have a video shut the fuck up about how many u can do... prolly like 12 years old

[foolsbetrippin]

i can do thirty. and ill post a video.

[JGIncorporation]

didnt say u couldnt just everybody who sees a video of some kind of excercise suddenly say they are an expert and can do like a million.... i can do 89 pushups in a minute.... time at fort benning in georgia actually....i dont not believe people but sometimes it gets a little annoying but cool ill hope to see the video!

[carlos555555555]

i can do about 28 of these,but i do them on both sides,so 14 pullups on each side XD

[foolsbetrippin]

i can do thirty.

[sclaysdharma]

In a row? Post a video of you doing them then.

[foolsbetrippin]

mmk first i have to get out of montana. but ill do thirty or more.

[olisat]

from now till school start, i'm gona train to be like you man, and im gonna continue even wen yo school starts, tired of being skkinny and weak yo

[sarahbaybeh2k9x]

mate you should apply for the navy seals or sum shit!

[rollmodelesq]

Amazing! Keep up the good work!

[aksampras]

fucking fantastic man

[toalex]

those are all always fun, used to do those when I worked out half way running to the gym their was a pullup bar

[oceanwolfspirit]

...o.O if your out of shape...than what am I T-T, I really have to sport more xD

[4workingdays]

I am just wondering why do you apologize in your description... or if you feel like you were tired why did you record the video? Guys are watching your body not the number of pullups... showing off, isnt it? :))

[projectstrength]

because it was a challenge, so i posted a video response with a challenge. i dont understand, where do i apologize?

[jiand21]

Dude amazing stuff!!

5/5, just subscribed, keep it up buddy!!!

[OnlyReconSon]

Whats wrong with showing off a solid body worth showing off. Maybe it will get these kids today who sit inside all day and play video games to think, "wow i want to look like that to". America is becoming lazier and lazier and our fighting forces are diminishing as well.

[ilenses]

no no, nothing wrong showing hot bodies. I like it as well. I just smiled at the description. It is like when young girls are singing Mariah Carey on youtube and the description is like "I know that I dont have a voice, I was just fooling around", which means "I think I have a good voice, please reinforce me and write me comments, I want to be popular" :))

[360sk8t]

That's America for ya'. -_____-

[foolsbetrippin]

wow your so arrogant.

you think we're elitist?

[UnProfessionalTech]

@4workingdays I watched the pull ups D:

[bennymaseur]

NICE ;) I like your abs , 'cause is perfect

[SausosiosIsrugos]

yeah, I wish I was out of shape like you :D

[icanthelpthatiownu]

haha nice :D

[yourmom794]

I can do about 22 pullups at 15.

[sk8mad4life]

im 12 and i can do 25 it makes me proud... XD

[Pk4Pride]

Yeh... IM SURE O_O... its a lot harder when you have muscle mass?

[150zenner]

ya because you weigh 100 pounds lighter..

[yourmom794]

It's becuase you weigh about 100 pounds lighter than me, or this guy.

[knpdyeballarice]

second time around... i didn't see full extention... allegator arms...

[animeworldchick]

woah u call that out of shape?? Btw how tall are u?

[bush555]

Yeah he's really fat in this video, except you can see ever muscle.

[animeworldchick]

lol if that's what u call fat then there must be something wrong with u.. >.>

[crescentwater]

no not fat just out of shape. but i agree! u look like bruce lee or somethin and u call ur self outta shape if thats the case then i dont even want to know what i am DX lol

[silentsoliloquy82]

I can't do that at all. XD

[Maxentius138]

Uh, i might be able to get around 10-12, seeing as i don't weigh that much and have an adequate upper body strength. I couldn't do them that slowly though, i tend to do exercises like this in fast bursts

[silentsoliloquy82]

I don't know how much you weigh, but I put you at about 160-165. I don't weigh that much either, but my upper-body strength ....needs work. You have a frame and height similar to my fathers.

[Maxentius138]

Yeah, sounds about right. Scarily right...provided i haven't given you many indicators about my weight XD

[silentsoliloquy82]

LOL, many don't need to. Sometimes, I am able to calculate height, age, weight, and measurements by someone standing near me or by a photograph.

[Maxentius138]

....measurements?

[silentsoliloquy82]

Yes...bodily measurements. Waist, hips, etc? LOL. I have never done that by a photograph and I wouldn't attempt to try.

[Maxentius138]

Heh, jus' kidding ^_¬

[silentsoliloquy82]

It's to be expected of you by now. XD

[geva90]

idk..

but in our militery--->if you dont lock your elbows it aint count, but good job!

[chris96kalonji]

not trying to be a douch but there pull ups!

[muffinz4lifez]

and i know, that doesnt mean hes is shape

[muffinz4lifez]

its funny how description said u were out of shape...dude ur ripped

[saintpk]

commando push up...so hes not wearing any underwear?

[vingema]

very good

[maksimgus]

none of the 17 should count cause your arms didnt straighten out on the way down...

[xxboboxx17]

in the first set he went all the way down but in the second part he didnt go all the way down but he still did it

[EricTang15wxm]

actualy

fully extending your arms is resting your muscles except for your forearms

just like benching or press ups etc. you should always keep your arms elbated cos fully locking it out is just resting your arms. cos i can do about 3-4 reps on 100kg not fully locking it out, but if i did i could probably push out another one or two

[MiderWr]

I do only 4 max xD

[silvahernandezd]

I wish I could do at least 2 of those...

[MATTx602]

not bad. I've never really tried these. I stick to wide/front arm pullups. Work my lats. On a normal workout I do 3 sets of ten. But I can easily knock out 25. I gotta start testing myself in this stuff. my only flaw in my training is I dont run. I do all my cardio in the pool. I can swim 70 laps easy, but can barely run half a mile. But I guess it works out to my advantage cuz I'm at exactly 200 pounds, which is where i like to stay. Nothing more, nothing less. Good job here. Keep it up

[khanio1]

dude im 6"2 i weigh, 230 pounds, im Mixed martial artist here in england, iv done about 30 commando pullups on a good day. but with my workout routine, its all kind of strength training so im used to it.

[AndyAngelZ]

yo u saw me do the 25 pull ups right?

im 14 year olds, 115 pounds, 5 feet 4.

[projectstrength]

yeah thats sick. keep training!

[Shonaripa]

you're in great shape dude, fucking hell. You should show sometime how you split the whole thing up. Good work

[goongler]

the 17 he did were half assed

[projectstrength]

You are right they were. I am going to them again

[Djebulba]

If that is out of shape... :D

[iamcool01406422297]

Im 15 :L and im not that fit, i ca do 10 but im dead after that for the next day like barely doing 3 :L

[mnyblack09]

what a feat of strength, gj!

[Billete37]

ima try the challenge

[danihotmasala]

coolL------mmmmmm

[DaIcewind]

17 commando seemed like to fast for me not all were full but still if you are out of shape thats ok. Keep it up :)

[csebrigh]

awesome abs

[UniversalTruths]

I counted 16 :p

But nice work, I was doing 20 of those a day but stopped for like a month while on holiday and now I'm struggling to get past 10 haha

[projectstrength]

i cut the video early

[iwanttofight69]

what is a commando pull up???

[braindeadboner]

one hand like a pull up, one hand like a chin up

[Kuringa81]

try a "GIMBARR"...!!!

[kevinsumal]

damn i wish i were out of shape like you lol jk

[Billete37]

how do u make a livin? U need alot of time to get in great shape.

[ShowinYaHow]

no you don't, an Hour a day with P90X will get anyone in shape.

[Billete37]

whats that? I'ma check it out.

[animeworldchick]

i bet it must be some kind of drug and nothing beats natural shape

[showaninja]

out of shape LIER!!!! lmaoooooooooooo

[yomamma565]

out of shape? HA. how many wide-grip pull ups can you get? I'm only at 24.

[csthundercat]

hehe nice man, u in good shape, i can only do 15 of those n can never break that plateau! thanks for the subscription and friend invite - peace and respect.

[UrbanFreeStylez]

Holy fuck bro, your fucking beast.

[EngJose]

Specifically look at her arms position and legs every time she did a rep

[projectstrength]

the first 10 were fully extended. But I will make another one, better this time. Please keep in mind that I just started doing pull ups again so I am just getting back into shape. Pull ups really arent my main thing

[SOBExRED]

nice bro, u gotta pt in vids tha show what you o, i wanna be strong o.o but im massively skinny

[yut57]

uhm... how come you subscribed to my video? and how did you even hear about my vid. my video sucks anyways

[EngJose]

Checkout her video she makes full control commandos pull-ups. That mean full control in all aspect up low and go down with a complete extention

[EngJose]

Good stats but you did the pull-ups commando without making the complete flex and in a high-speed. Zuzana's challenges is full control pull-ups command checkout her video and see your errors

[meckerschorsch]

Great job

[petrilah]

I guess you could challenge Zuzana!

[grantflip]

your not out of shape the only way u can improve is to gain more bulk, and the more bulk u gain less toned, usually, i can do 17 of those, my faves are just standard wide overhand grip, works the back,n lats the most

[bruceliem]

I love how this team gets a group of super athletes. I like how you jump over those 12 people. It's pretty amazing. I've seen many amazing things such as free runners too. They are very good at climbing but they can't jump over 12 ppl like you. You should start getting into freerunning. You have the skills to do it.

[quincyonq]

I wish I had a pull up bar like that. I haven't did a pull up since I was in like 6 grade

[MaxSafeheaD]

Don't you have trees?

[quincyonq]

I'm 200 + lbs I can't just go and grab any tree limb and start doing pull-ups

[MaxSafeheaD]

So choose a branch carefully! or a couple of branches close together to spread the weight. I find trees that have grown in a park or with space around them are best because the put out lateral branches early - easy to get to and have had time to thicken.

Doing climb-ups on a wall uses similar muscles.

v=trgE-X5MZII

Rope climbing (2" manila rope is perfect) is one of the most effective arm workouts I think you can do.

[realmasterchief]

I've never seen pull ups like those, but I don't think they look too hard =/ I'll have to give 'em a try. I usually can't do more than 13 or so regular ones... ah well.

[Rnac3]

His Has Flaaabbbzz!!!HAHAHAH!!!

[TeamTwice]

awesome body mate!, you're definately not out of shape!

[loveforeignaccents]

Whoa, brother! You are ripped and nice and lean!

What does your regular workout routine consist of?

Thanks for the friend invite!!
