[alpha10seven]

[gullbuttqasim]

in how much time result show's up?

[abdulios]

@gullbuttqasim Depends on how often you do it and how well you do it. But in about 2-3 weeks on average. And almost 2 months for significant improvement.

[gullbuttqasim]

@abdulios thanx

[siddharthjhumat]

[amittsahni]

thank u Sir

[briana887]

2:01 My first time seeing Scott with a shirt on. lol

[iampimpn93]

i think there was a video of this for chin-ups, but idk, anyways, i didnt do any beginner pull-ups/chin-ups workouts, i just started out trying to do 1 chin-up, and now i can do 5 in a row, coming all the way down and all the way up =]

[kablammywammy]

@iampimpn93 i did the same thing with push ups. i started off with one, took a break, one more, took another break, then did 2, then a break etc. did this everyday for 3 weeks or so and was able to do 50! :)

[MRsaamibro]

i did it when i was in 9 and 10 grade...

now i make almost 45 per set.. im 21

[premchandtheboss]

Is there any workout to increase height ? I am only 173 cms ( 5'8" )

[bona412]

@premchandtheboss Do stretch and hanging and also depend on genetic with hanging and stretch i grow 3 inchs in 9 months.

[oroioni]

where in the world did u find an empty gym?

[chris123chris82]

how can i work up to doing pull ups? if i dont go to the gym?

[chris123chris82]

how can i work up to doing pull ups?

[sdstan]

Can you make a video for workout to increase pull up reps?

[KODmasta07]

Scott is still helpful seriously!...Lol, haven't watched one of his vids in a good while but i'll still subbed n any type of workout he does have the vid 2 it. Thanks Scott!

[lisinka3]

Scott, just out of curiosity, can you do a one handed pull up?

[050974154]

1.29 ur back is amazing

[jimluthra]

5 people can't even do this.....

[InevitableAzn]

@jimluthra why do people like you even make these comments, its just stupid...

[jimluthra]

@InevitableAzn because some people don't appreciate good videos....

[jodhan23]

for begginers, they should jsut do low weights (ie less than thier body weight) on the lat pulldown machine instead of learning this technique... its wayyy easier

[ageofpoo]

I didnt like this video so I gave it a thumbs down

[trashbash2001]

@ageofpoo why didnt you like it?

[superdine1]

Scott, any tips on strengthening the lower back?

[BMVLifestyle]

@superdine1 Dead lifts are a great lower back exercise as long as you do them with proper form by not bending at the waist but only bending at the knees.

[Joethegoon]

129 people are HERMANITES!

[loobbaba]

i cannot do a single regular pull up. it is worth trying if i can help me doing regular pull ups.

[KingWobba]

i don´´t believe that this form makes your back grow...

[TheRedComa]

@KingWobba It's not gonna make your back grow.  It's gonna help someone who can't do a pull up build up a little bit of strength to eventually lift their entire body weight, and do normal pull ups.

[KingWobba]

@TheRedComa ok

[9raymondo9]

dude! you made exercise look easy! :D

i'm faving this video



[kabaddifan89]

yea im like an average person to be in the gym not overweight or anything but i cant do more than 1 pull up (even chin up). I am defintely going to do this exercise lets say 2-3 times a week and hopefully in about a month or so i can do actual pull-ups. Also, ive been told you need a really strong core.

[magicub]

How long it could take to make pull ups on my own? days, weeks, a life of humilliation on the gym?

[silasvids]

i love the new shorts :)

[srt8up4shot]

Hey Scott do you use gloves at all when you work out? It KILLS my hands when i'm doing pull ups at my gym or doing ab wind mills on the pull up rack.

[ARTAthletix]

Haha, I said that it annoys me when people use the squat rack to train their biceps, like curling. Go use the regular pull up bar and get one of the plyometric boxes. To the guy who said all my videos were in quatrain rack: yeah, I was squatting...

[DeltaLimaNiner]

I would recommend weighted negatives over this method if you can't do one dead hang.

[burningraycob]

do you consider these better than using an assisted pull-up machine?

[ScottHermanFitness]

@burningraycob well if your gym doesnt have one it is a great alternative! :)

[DrzFnst]

why everytime your at the gym its totally EMPTY ! lol

[irvykinneas]

thanks a lot, scottie

[Zipemova1]

This is a great idea if one is just starting to go back to the gym as well. Q: I don't see a lot of women doing pull ups, perhaps they tend to have lower upper body strength. Would you suggest this to women as well? It would be a great way for them to build upper body strength without using their entire body weight.

[TubeGym]

i have a small chest people always say that my back is bigger whats good to build chest fast should i go heavy or light with more reps....thanks ..

[Smurfette2007]

I LOVE YOUR IDEAS SCOTT THUMBS UP TO YOU YOUR THE BEST FITNESS DUDE EVER TO ME

[sa56075]

oengonna

[Neilram2001]

@matchusneezu this is a fitness channel dork.. not porn... try the other 90% of the web.... 

[Zipemova1]

@Neilram2001 Thx for the comment. You know I'm gay, yes Scott is good looking. But guys like matchuneezu really get on my last gay nerve. Here we are interested in healthier, and yes improving our physiques, and he asks a dumb sex question...There are some of us that can separate the two.

[Neilram2001]

@Zipemova1 welcome buddy... like I said 90% of web is porn.. so why not right... lol

Happy New YEars buddy.

[RankDoorMatt]

scott i have a question: how long did it take to get your abs? were you ever fat or did you just start building muscle? and well just over all how long did it take to get your body in the shape it is?

[Nforcez]

thanks i needed this

[Natcam3]

hopefully this will help me be able to do pull ups as I can only do it at the moment on a weight assisted pull up machine and I hate using the pull down machine -.-

Can you recommend any other exercises to help strengthen so I'm able to do pull ups without assistance?

[ARTAthletix]

Wow, you give more douche bags another reason to train their biceps in the squat rack. I do not approve

[BU1B22]

@ARTAthletix people who want to do beginner pull ups r douche bags? interesting...

[Cell2677]

@ARTAthletix Dude you're 14... get over yourself come back when you're 35 and have been training for 10+ years

[Cell2677]

@ARTAthletix Also all your videos are at the squat rack....

[Zipemova1]

@ARTAthletix You know, you could disapprove without acting like one. Project your anger in a more productive way, like investigating why you have to offend and strike out at people. Being kind can actually improve your life.

I know you're going to call me a douche bag or worse. That's cool, I know I'm not.

[llectrofish]

@Zipemova1 ye u are a douchebag cuz u give him attention

[Zipemova1]

@llectrofish and you would rather I give you the attention. Nah...I'll stay a douche bag. Try happiness.

[llectrofish]

@Zipemova1 hahaha u feel attacked by me? i dont think ur as happy as u say u are

[Zipemova1]

@llectrofish That was an attack? I never said I was happy. I said you should try it.

In any case, I'm working on being a better person. It's too bad you prefer not to be. It's your choice. Good luck.

[llectrofish]

@Zipemova1 thx im workin on it

[xwillwork4foodx]

@ARTAthletix we are all out for your aproval, please tell us what we should do

[JoseRCol2]

very nice

[cunners1000]

thanks scott nice video! just a quick question is it good to work 1 body part per gym session or is it better to do 2 or more?? thanks

[kangarooo25]

Awsome

[bigbrainsbme]

great looking butt :P

[coolboy065]

ur so cool bro

[voicesandvisions]

How many Bert stares would you get from doing that on a squat rack...

[skaterguy69666]

Are negative pull ups a good way to pull ups????

[veggpapp]

0:27  '' for now'' yay! kermit the frog :D

[senech25]

awesome form!!

[xxxAlain]

Those negatives that you are talking about, how does it work ?

cause one day I was doing bench press and one guy came near me and said:

- if you wanna raise the weight a lot faster you should for some time just do the negative way with a lot more weight !! =o I guess not pushing the bar up, just lowering the bar near my chest and then with help from a supporter pushing it back up .. tell me about this method plz ..

[Njderig]

@xxxAlain Be careful with negatives. They can send you into overtraining mode in no time. I wouldnt do more than a few sets per MONTH. I never got much out of them, all they did was make me very sore, but everybody is different. What works for me is just cycling my weight up and reps down working toward a max weight every 8 to 12 weeks. Also going to failure on even straight sets too often will overtrain you. Just my humble opinion.

[Zipemova1]

@Njderig Good advice. Thanks

[guitargodV]

@xxxAlain The guy meant to use a spotter to help assist the bar up so you can do more reps than you normally could with that weight so you can tear some of the muscle fibers you would not have torn with the unassisted reps.

[xGeemaa]

@xxxAlain I'm not SHF, but it does work. When using a spotter and using more weight, the spotter will help you lift it, like he physically helps you lift the bar. Eventually your body will get used to it and will be able to do it by yourself. I know it isn't the most elaborate answer, but thats pretty much the break down.

[nachowoo]

@xxxAlain Hey I have a bachelors of Science in Exercise Physiology, Ironically my name is Scott too haha...The Idea with the negative your talking about is you stack the bar with more weight than your one rep max, no matter how hard you push the bar will slowly fall toward your chest. By doing this helps recruit those "tough to recruit" muscle fibers that are otherwise not used in regular exercises. All in all negatives will help tear more muscle which is important for overall muscle regrowth!

[DaLeadBull]

@xxxAlain You basically just said what a negative is, what more do you want to know?

Negatives to me are good at the end of a set when you can't get any more regular reps, so negative helps work your muscles beyond their limit to force the tears in the muscles fibers which in turn helps you get stronger and grow more.

But I don't know if negatives help you get stronger if you do them on their own.

[Kasokz]

@xxxAlain negatives help you gain more strength, and therefore get more mass, thats all I know xD

[cRazyBassBiTch]

@xxxAlain i'm not an expert,,,but i got told by my rugby coach it's basically like, your muscles are getting used to "using" a heavier weight, so when you go to do a standard bench press, you should be able to do more...or something to that effect, hope this helped

[dorito818]

@xxxAlain

I think what they mean by benching negatives is something like. Well just push up, and then your spotter pushes down a bit while u go down so there's more resistance on the way down than the original weight going up; some people add and remove weight throughout their set with help from a spotter of course.

[lisinka3]

@xxxAlain

Doing just the negative portion really gives you a lot of strength. Just like if you can't do a regular pull up, you do just the negative portion for a while and pretty soon you'll be able to do a real pull up.

Similar with the bench press. If you do the negative with a lot of weight, this will strengthen your chest and soon you'll be able to lift it up with that higher weight.

[Njderig]

What about doing lat pulldowns up to doing your bodyweight and then once you can handle that for a few reps, then move to regular pullups?

[cfcjt93]

@Njderig that's what I did

[decymc]

@Njderig I can do pullups easy. But when i try and do my bodyweight on a lat pulldown i only manage 1-2 reps.

[lolwut123able]

I´ve been working out for like 8 months i hav achieved an amazing body and strenght but there is only 1 thing that troubles me, how do u the PSHH, i mean i have been working out on the pshh ay and night how many years it took u to develop the PSHH

[shanny064]

@lolwut123able whats a pshh?

[thirdbreath]

@lolwut123able theres nothing special about exhaling, its the sound he makes when he exerts force. you dont need to make a certain sound but if you need to say something or breathe hard when you push do it.

[DaLeadBull]

@thirdbreath I think he was being funny lol, how did completely go over your head?

[ry4nx]

@lolwut123able whats a pshh?

[eugeneisalive]

@lolwut123able hey man, what is a PSHH?

[FinestHardstylezz]

scott i love your videos :) pls keep it up like that :)

[addicted2you20]

thanks for the tip. i've always wanted to be able to kill 8-9 pull ups without trying but the only chicks I've ever met who have been able too are ones who have done gymnastics half of their life. hope this helps.

[viersehen]

Awesome. Thanks from the kid who could never do a pull-up in gym class.

[MrWelshy272]

@viersehen i was one of those kids.... 16 now and i can do lots :D

[TaciTiciBoy]

thank you for the new video mate, gonna work the shit out of my body :D

[merezfinestz08]

pull ups are easy anyway

[egosblue8]

@merezfinestz08 not if you are really heavy...

[eoink72]

Yet another amazing video scott :)

[aznazm]

could i do this on a smith machine?

[vigilantezack]

you can also use a chair or something to lift yourself up to the top of a normal pullup position, then let yourself down slow with no assistance. Most people can let themselves down from a pullup quite well, and that will build muscle too until they can do one with less and less assistance to get to the top position.

[Terkel1994]

Where did the blue shorts go?

[sxesebastien]

@Terkel1994 those puppies are retired

[crushme99]

This is an interesting exercise. I have a back condition called ankylosing spondylitis which is basically a calcification around my vertebrae. The first time (after many years) that I attempted a "standard" pull-up, there was this painful pop in my back and there i'm hanging, wondering how the f**k I'm going to drop down from the bar. Your approach in this video might be less stressful on my spine.

[bebenic]

@crushme99

good gravy, dude. that's a serious condition. did you get treatment early?

[JustCauseVids]

i allways struggled with how people worked up to doing full pull ups, but this vids a bit to late for me now, but thanks scott im sure a load of people will find this very helpful

[kerr303]
