5 Weighted Pull ups BW + 140 lb / 63.6 kg

[za1pp]

Raw Power....only thing is the the video quality makes it look like he is 2 feet tall lmao

[PatrickMc1nerney]

I thought you were like 350+ lbs when I saw the video icon haha

[ExtremistPullup]

@PatrickMc1nerney

342 lbs with the weight attached.

[xxxsmokey]

this is disgusting im a bodybuilder @ 235lbs can only do 5 with 45 added on

[ExtremistPullup]

@xxxsmokey

It's a different training, I guess you didn't see where I added 202 lb

[Wobby27]

good job! but I'd say you did 3.5 not 5 reps

[coryu711]

wow....perfect form too, apart from the kicking of course.

[ExtremistPullup]

@coryu711 I have a much better video of 140 lbs for 5 reps this one is 4 years old

[m1shadow]

Awesome raw strength!

[LlLnig]

good job but why is your arms so small in relative to your pullup strength?

[ExtremistPullup]

@LlLnig

Well my biceps are 17 inches and my forearms are 14, I'm sure people would consider that so small.

Do you workout?

[aschindler22]

@ExtremistPullup lol hes wonderen how ur doen those prolly...i can do like 30 pull ups but ive never tryed weighted ones..its prolly really hard

[xsergiogx]

@ExtremistPullup what is ur workout rouinte?

[Atlaspower78]

@LlLnig People tend to confuse size with strength, but they are not related 1:1

[rojeremy]

Impressive man! Thanks, I try build my pullups and this motivated me more.

[TheSuperber]

whats your height? pls reply

[ExtremistPullup]

5'11

[Ir0nDiam0nd]

How many times a week/day do you practice weighted pullups? I was thinking of doing them in the morning, then evening. And just doing that twice a week.

[ExtremistPullup]

around 3 times a week

[Ir0nDiam0nd]

@ExtremistPullup

Do you ever do it twice a day? Or do you just do one session for the day? Also can you tell me a little more about the sets and reps you use? I am trying to build mine up quick. Thanks.

[ExtremistPullup]

No never done them twice a day.

when I first started with 25-90 lbs I would do 5 sets of 5 but I'm doing 4 sets of 4-5 right now.

[rmsolympic1]

Basically, I just started with weighted pullups using about 35 lbs. Did you use a particular training method to develop yourself via weighted pull ups?

[lotusblack80]

NOW THATS WHAT THE FUCK IM TALKING ABOUT!! HELL YEAH... This video is the only REAL weighted pullups. Im so fucking tired of seeing pussy videos with neutral grip or arms to close together, and this guy did it all with perfect form(wide grip overhand and dead hang)!!!

[kaidiau]

HOLY SHXT BRO! your good lol

im almost 18 yo, but im skinny 120lbs but i can do 1 rep with 45lbs of dumbell holds between be feet! i can do 17 wide grip pull ups! any suggestion to get better?!

[ExtremistPullup]

@kaidiau just keep on do pull-ups weighted and un-weighted time and consistency adds weight and reps.

[kaidiau]

yeah thats what im doing now! so for the diet, is taking protein once a week enough?!

[ExtremistPullup]

@kaidiau I would supplement with 20 grams a day 5 days a week or 40 grams a day 3 days a week after your workouts.

Some will say that's not enough taking more wouldn't hurt but it will be expensive try and buy in bulk 10 lbs at a time tends to be cheaper.

As you do other workouts like legs, chest, shoulders, your going to gain weight and you might feel like you aren't getting stronger when you are getting heavier. don't neglect all your body parts, but do pull-ups first if that's your goal.

[puppyXslayer]

Fucking douchebag does my deadlift PR on pull-ups ;__;

Fuck you, man.

Oh, you're f'in strong by the way.

[GeorgeDedaj]

Is he using a thumbless grip? One slip and his private parts will have an unscheduled meeting with those large iron plates.

Actually, the conventional opposing thumb grip is less necessary on pulling movements than on pressing movements. Still, I would never perform a deadlift with a suicide grip.

[ExtremistPullup]

I have my thumbs sort of on that pull-up bar. never slipped off before. I have tennis racket rubber tape on the bars. out of all the stuff I've tried it holds my grip the best.

[ExtremistPullup]

People will dismiss the entire video as legit and say "Lower the weight and Stop Cheating by kicking your legs"

"Cheating is used to make the exercise harder, not easier" - Arnold Schwarzenegger

[ExtremistPullup]

I'm not advocating kipping pull-ups but, I've gotten to 140 lbs added by doing just what you see here. when I did 115 lbs perfectly I upped the weight where my form slightly suffered but still with a full ROM, from there improved.

Obviously it works & you don't wake up one morning and do weighted pull-ups with over 100 lbs.

I understand haters are going to hate, but haters don't do weighted pull-ups.

[AndyAngelZ]

wtf how does cheating make excersise harder?

and how many regular pullups can u do?

[ExtremistPullup]

26 regular ones.

Having a spotter tap a bar up while benching is a form of cheating but its letting you get past a sticking point and lets your muscle work harder. you don't cheat to the point where your muscles aren't becoming dependent on it.

[AndyAngelZ]

i can do 8 pullups witha 45lb plate on me and my max pull up is 27 lol.

how can u do 140 then? or is it a matter of body weight ratio to the weight added

[ExtremistPullup]

There is no correlation between body weight pull-ups and weighted ones.

I don't train for body weight ones so I've always only been able to do 26. but even though I don't train for them for some reason that number has never changed.

[AndyAngelZ]

so u dont have alot of musclar endurance. well u do have that, but you have more of the musclar ability.

and im just musclar endurance cuz i can do 26?

[AndyAngelZ]

i meant 27

[danimal651]

Great work! I still wonder why this exercise gets so little recognition as a test of strength compared to,say, the bench. I've done this for 40+ years now and unlike the bench, never even a slight injury.If you get a chance ,I have a vid on "rlamarine" site as well as my own.

[Polarcupcheck]

Seems like people associate it with ape like chests, and throwing punches. Every kid has a friend who has a bench in the garage, too. It is dumb, though. Clean and jerk will tell you a lot more.

[GeorgeDedaj]

What about tendon (especially bicep tendon) inflammation? Muscle tearing in the forearms and/or biceps? I haven't had luck as good as yours with this exercise.

Still a great exercise, though.

[lankatank]

Impressive! Especially with the overhand wide grip. Props!

[MrUptownzfine5t]

good shit. how much do you weigh?-Jstarzz From the work out team barstarzz

[ballerketballer]

BEAST

[PSP69er]

nice, that man is a gangsta

[ExtremistPullup]

well I added it because it is five lbs I swapped out the sock chain for a much stronger one.

[Jhuczko]

Fair enough. I guess if I used metal clips on a lift that weighed 2.5lbs each I would count them as well. Good lift!

[Mannypacquia0]

hey man how tall are you?? like 6ft?

[Komopdankkjong]

lol

[babyoil1]

dang.. i cant even do 1.. i can do everything except an overhand pull up.. props sir

[tdmonster]

Fucking beastly man, It's nice to see bigger people doing pull ups. Great work.

[acdc554]

Nice man. Not only where you doing it with palms facing away but you also had a mega wide grip. The only thing is a little bit of kicking, but who gives a fuck? If you were having to pull yourself over a wall of course you would kick. So major props to ya.

[RitvarLegend]

no what?

[derelekt]

BEAST

[tubeuser999]

wow, that is excellent

[RitvarLegend]

cost of what ? u mean cost of gear ?

[ExtremistPullup]

lol

[tyciol]

Man with that much weight who cares if he cheats?

[joshrockwell]

YOU ARE THE WORLD CHAMPION!!! YAY!!!

[rs217000]

Fine job. I bet you can row the shit out of a boat.

[tyciol]

lol win

[pdelaressure]

good job buddy! that is very impressive...

[marcusbondi]

Ha-ha! sweet! My fave weighted pull-up clip ever -gets me so hyped to hit the bars!!!!!! DAMN!!!!!!! ARRGGGHH!! Way to go Mr. E. Pullup!

[SergentYonutz]

nice...very nice..

[ExtremistPullup]

I did get my chin over the bar but I did cheat on the last two.

[rctriplefresh5]

idk if its the camera angles but u look like a midget in all of your videos. how tall are u man

[ExtremistPullup]

5'11 I had to rotate the video in windows movie maker when I filmed it long ways there are a few videos where they aren't shrunk down.

[rctriplefresh5]

ture i thought u were short. hey man is this good? i could do one rep with an 80 lb dumbell b/w my legs. im 6'2 and go all the way down and all the way up so its harder cause im tall, is 80 for 1 good? im 18 and 160 pounds. oh and their underhand grip, not the overhand grip like youdo dololololol

[ExtremistPullup]

80 lbs is good its 50% of your body weighted added. changing the grip just takes getting used to I can't add a whole lot for chin ups.

the most weight I can clear the bar with is 165 lbs 86% of my 195 bodyweight make that your goal because I can't find any videos of someone else doing it.

[caze192]

crazy

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

holy hell ... you're a fucking beast. do you compete in powerlifting/strongman/olylift­ng?

[StillOnThatPlayerShi]

Incredible.

[slee05]

sorry i dont know if the comment i posted went through...but anyways wuts the brand of ur belt? where can i order one

[ExtremistPullup]

Mine is Progrip from bbdotcom.

[coolguymcsly]

haha holy shit, this is beastly. very impressive, and pefect form. the best I can do is 3 reps with 70 pounds on the belt. my goal is to be able to pull myself up from a cliffside with a female on my back (in case that ever happens)... this guy could do it 5 times!

[xXxlostxXxsoulsxXx]

lol.. sounds like supermans goals when he was a kid... lol funny stuff man

[ExtremistPullup]

3 reps with 70 is pretty good. how many sets do you try and get in?

[coolguymcsly]

I start with no weight for 10 reps (200lbs body weight), then attach a 45 for another 10. As of now I can get 2 reps with 95 lbs on the belt (wide grip), and close grip I can somehow get 4-5 reps. After that I usually follow it up with drop sets of close grip, but change it occassionaly. How long did it take you to get to 135?

[ExtremistPullup]

It took me 3-4 years on and off off But I started out at 186 lbs now I'm at 210.

[imajenius415]

@coolguymcsly LOL THAT MADE ME LAUGH S HARD

[princerudynasim]

this dudes the man he goes all the way down then up nice big ups fam

[gatorbait20089]

Excellent job, nice work, my friends, THAT is real strength.

[Steeleagle12]

I have watched all of this young mans videos. As a retired military member and one that has always tried to keep in shape, I have to say.... EXCELLENT! These videos can be used for positive motivation. Well done Marine!!!

[RodjSture]

Awsome! Keep inspiring!

[jonnyhuiz]

Wow. I cannot say I have seen them done like that .... very impressive.

[marcusbondi]

AWESOME STUFF!!! So cool to see! Pls check out my one arm & regular chins; just click on my name. Keep training hard.

[wumpuskiller]

Wow. Nice job. I have a support strut thingo in my garage I found that can be used for pull ups. I just filled up my backpack with 15kg and did them with those. I was proud of that, until I saw this :D.

[thearaban]

what is the brand of the rack you're doing the pull ups from?  I think i saw one like that at Dick's and thought about getting it, it's not there anymore. It was at a good price also.

Good job also

[ExtremistPullup]

its a Weider Club 650 I bought it off of craigs list for 120 but they bought it from Sam's Club a long time ago for a lot more. I fabricated a new pull-up bar for it from steel gas pipe and steel brakets you can see the old EZ shaped bar in some other videos.

[bloodriotiori]

i've seen you on myspace dude, you're a beast!!

[rajhal1]

very impressive....got to give it to you..good form..excellant weigth...how long did it tak you to get to that weigth.....any pointers i am finding it real hard to progress. at the monment i am going up by 1kg at a time...it's real hard....nice keep it up

[ExtremistPullup]

you use gloves and still get calluses? I have calluses but I have built them up over time. They only look bad on back day. They are just there to protect your hands. what types of problems are you running into.

[ExtremistPullup]

athletic tape

[h7jb7sg1e]

Didn't help.

[ExtremistPullup]

ya I don't do less without my thumbs I just do it because I always have

[h7jb7sg1e]

Thanks for the info.

Been doing hangs off a pull-up bar with added weight on and off and its really improved my grip strength. Need about 72 hours between weighted pull-ups and deadlifts.

Gonna try using chalk next pull-up day.

[h7jb7sg1e]

Gonna try it your way and see if it helps.

[h7jb7sg1e]

I use thumb under and around. Like making a fist with the bar inbtwn. Does your type of grip improve stability?

[ExtremistPullup]

I think I'm doing it out of habit plus its two more fingers to hold the weight up. Some people say your thumb will affect the involvement of your biceps during a pull-up, but they might be over analyzing it.

[h7jb7sg1e]

I notice you don't hook your thumbs around the bar, does that improve your grip?

[ExtremistPullup]

My thumbs are on top of the bar

[thaibu]

Much stronger now!

Next is the Strongest Man comp?

[ShaneM686]

ok, have u ever had a girl on your back while you did this? Cause I can do like 8x3 at 60lbs right now... i was wondering if you knew if a body on you was easier than plates. ty :)

[tyciol]

Do you want to use a 60lb girl Shane? lol

[ilovebeanpaste]
