Pullups for Beginners

[SelfMade104]

Ok on upper body days is it still ok to do push UPS b4 bed?

[lolipoppification]

love ur hat!

[Ratris]

got one of these but sadly the doors in my house arn't big enough so feels a bit dodgey useing it xD

[bakker30]

don't try pipes in the basement.....

[JoelAlexanderGrey]

This guy seems really nice

[yair6655]

10 sets?!?!?! thats insane!!!!! pull ups are the hardest workout i've ever witnessed! doing 10 sets?!

[lolipoppification]

@yair6655 try dragon flag and it wont be the hardest u ever seen.. search on youtube "dragon flag exercise" and u will see...

[LordDeathspit]

Scooby is 240lbs and nearly as tall as a doorway. Big dude.

[RickZiis]

i started doing chinups a month ago for biceps/back but i need something for triceps/chest. why do you prefer push ups to dips?

[RickZiis]

@RickZiis i mean real dips...not the quarter of your body weight dips

[MrOceanTree]

@RickZiis do both. Push ups are one of the best exercises for chest. Dips are for triceps and your lower chest

[MrMike9182]

lol, maybe not pipes in the basement

[michigancarpangler1]

Awesome! Cheers mate!

[dersstri]

@scooby1961 I am even unable to hang after pulling my up using a chair. that is i get lowered automatically. shall i continue doing this until i can achieve a pullup?

[MrOceanTree]

@dersstri definetly. keep doing it and you will love the results :)

[darthlopez]

THis is fucking awesome ! I used to depend on some asshole at the gym for information and advice ( always answered with a lovely FUCK OFF ) but now I get info from great experts like scooby FOR FREE. I love the internet !!!!

[fourwindsoh]

Wow, u are tall. Do your knees touch the ground when fully extended? I have one of those bars and I'm trying a 6 week program to 20 pull-ups. I weight 190, 5', 11", but I can't do a complete pull-up yet. I am doing negatives first.

[antonb000]

if someone can't do a pull up they're either a bitch or a fat ass

[LillaHannaa]

Haha i like the red hat!

[CanadaHOCKEY2100]

hey Scooby, what about the lat pull down bar or whatever it is called, is that similar to doing this or not? Thanks

[rancor260]

@CanadaHOCKEY2100 I'm not scooby but yes you can use lat pull down machine if you have that available, it's the exact same thing as pullups (if you do it with right form) but you can set the weight right for you so it's actually better than pullups.

[CanadaHOCKEY2100]

@rancor260 perfect, thanks for the reply

[JackHu1000]

hi scooby, how old r u?

[NinjaWee]

the voice... LOLOCAUST

[TheElgreko]

you said mom will be happy? how about my super crazy dad?!

[Wals141]

Does anyone know whether it's safe to do this as a teenager?

[DarkEgg11]

where should I leave my thumbs? do I wrap them around??

[jvfball1]

@DarkEgg11 yes, but if you do it with out wrapping your thumbs it will increase your grip strength and forearm strength

[theclevelandjunior2]

I keep getting sore just below my wrists from doing these. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

[mroutdoorsmike]

@theclevelandjunior2 your wrists will strengthen mate. Take the pain it will get better.

[jonathankundinger]

Thanks man, you made another one which was nearly impossible for me! Ha, you're the best!

[StaticTremor]

@ikracked Lat pulldowns just as good as pull ups? Good luck with that ROFL

[rrgert4]

too hard to do that way.. hands facing other way : easy !!

[mariusedge]

I bought one today:D

[TheCuteakshara]

Thanks. Subbed

[Shlaaaaaaaag]

Thanks so much scooby you are the best, 5 weeks ago i can across this video and i was worried nothing would happen but i did the workouts and now i can pump out 7 pull ups nearly 8 so yeah thanks a lot man

[songfrog89]

"I can do 2"

Man, you can do like a hundred!

[nightpwner]

@songfrog89 hundred-two.

[stealthkick]

i like your videos,

[pobopower]

thats a chin, not a pull up

[1212Fireworks]

@pobopower Really ... Get your facts right! He is doing Pull ups, a chin up you is when you put your hands behind the bar, his are in front.

[temparofl]

Scooby! When do we get to see you jogging or running??

[doufupy]

I don't have doors. How to use it?

[geurillakilla]

i have one of those exact kind of chairs

[rush7645]

Awesome hat. Anyway, has anyone tried these diet pills? getphen375.info

I'm thinking of getting them and I'm wondering how well they work.

[rabbitmickey82]

Do we need the head to be above the bar?

[pirko07]

Using ( quality) resistance bands is a good way to build yourself up towards doing pull ups, it is substitute.

[IxSPAWNxKILL]

I don't like this for pullups for one reason. If your try to keep your elbows out you can rest them on the door frame and cheat.

[SuperSaiyanX]

@IxSPAWNxKILL Lol well dont cheat!

[IxSPAWNxKILL]

@SuperSaiyanX its hard not to when the weight transfer makes you lean on the door frame

[CallMeEagleXx]

@IxSPAWNxKILL well the you are only cheating yourself, its up to you if you cheat or not!

[clapplop]

pain is weakness leaving the body.

[Hsinats]

@clapplop I have hear that before and it is so true. Cheers!

[gorbatschow44]

@clapplop At least quote the movie you've taken that one from...

[Jayyydan]

or you can just join a gym for $25 and use ALL the equipment and get a better workout.

[vw77]

@Jayyydan $25/ month, for a place that can never be as conveniently placed as your own home

[MyPizdosXbox]

Scooby answer me pls a question.Do you go to gym or that body was made home with all thoose weights.

[Ggolden20]

sorry, too big chest.

[joshynet]

Nice hat

[MissSJ1012]

Thanks so much very helpful :)

[96mrluke]

If you live in Australia like me Big-W has that same pull/chin up bar for only ten bucks, ive had mine for about 3-4 months now and it isnt showing any sings of breaking

[ChrisVsWesker11]

If i can only do 1 but try atleast 10 times a day will it build muscle?

[JNathanK2011]

I got down to 127 pounds with my vegan diet, which I've discontinued, but discovered pullups came very easy after that unintended weight loss.

[molatoye]

Fantastic! Thank you so much for this. Will definitely incorporate this. You rock!

[RedMercyy]

Hey scooby and youtubers ! So will this exercise count as a weightlifting exercise before cardio? It seems physically tiring as well..

[santiagopsc]

thanks man very helpfull.

[zaf240489]

thanks!

[johnleWMS]

a hat indoors, seems natural.

[IxSPAWNxKILL]

@johnleWMS hes protecting his skin from the intense UV rays

[JoshDG92]

@johnleWMS

stylish sweatband.

[infiler]

@johnleWMS LOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL­OLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[SnipeTConcolor]

@johnleWMS I think he's balding. It might result from bodybuilding, I'm not sure.

[slopedarmor]

@SnipeTConcolor

He shaves his head, not sure if balding. But if he is, it is definately not from bodybuilding, he's an all natural bodybuilder.

And besides, the man is 50.

[misterslinky66468]

@johnleWMS Hu-hum, seems legit.

[DANIBEBITO12]

@johnleWMS ohh a HATER in a scooby video,seems natural

[Papojijo]

why do you have no traps?

[R4NG3J]

hey scooby i need your help, i have a pull up bar and its attached in my door frame but my elbows point out and i have to grab the bar more towards the center as i don't have enough space to hold them further out. is this going to be a problem? answer would be greatly appriciated (16 years old)

[ABCba5tard]

nice hat

[iKrackeD]

lat pull downs work just as good, pullups are forsure better to work with, but lat pulldowns definitely do the trick :)

[Raeppl]

I bought this thing and now it doesn't fit in my door! :/

[ThePremize]

Scooby, I noticed that you're only pulling up to your eyes. Does this also apply to chin-ups, or only pull-ups?

[TheErik092275]

boy u are ugly

[TheBuchla]

@TheErik092275 but much better muscles you probally wil ever get

[TheErik092275]

@TheBuchla ya ok dude i look good i know it i bet u get no girls i bet they run away i dont care if u have muscles pluse your muscles are not shaped right u do have wierd lookin muscles. its true dude

[TheBuchla]

@TheErik092275 weird looking muscles? everyone has different looking muscles and not shaped right??? i don't look like an abomination, like you know anything of me or how i look so i'm ok what you say about me cause you only want to get right so i give it to you or this goes to far

[KLUVSN08]

what brand is that workout bar?

[inutilm]

thx



[nrg5320]

u have small head man

[NaturalMuscularity]

or if ur not strong enough u could just do kips, and swing ur way up :-D

[arivas713]

I'm gonna go buy one right now!

[txboi18]

nice informational video man.. thanks Im gonna try this the next time i do them.. I usually use my leg for assistance up but I dont take it off on the way down... your way i think will help me gain strength faster.. TYVM

[inomyguns12345678910]

Can i do this everyday

[bnortonm]

@inomyguns12345678910 "if youre a beginner you can probably do this twice a week" -scooby

[stealthjuni]

duud i cant stand his voice and the way he talks lol 

[mrwinner5]

@stealthjuni learn to love it..... or die.

[5033481boy]

what, i think i gor tipped off i bought that same thing that he said he got for 19bucks today but i bought it for 48bucks, but then again mines is the same exact thing but a perfect push up thing came with it and a abb work out flap, but i still feel ripped off since i already owned a perfect push up before that so now i got 2 sets

[rippedguyUK]

negative reps nice :) you know your stuff mate, good to see a nice video, beginners can understand, check my channel if you would buddy, and subscribe, would be an honour :)

[GeOhDoppelT]

What do I do, if i can't finish my reps with the "cheating" method? Is it even worth it if I go down too quick, since my arms can't hold my weight? I fear to injure myself this way, but I don't want to skip this excercise entirely for the day :-(

[rippedguyUK]

@GeOhDoppelT as long as your working the muscles mate, still do it, if you cant lower yourself, trying supporting yourself with your legs on a chair a bit, it will still work your muscles :)

[sigh999999]

I do those but in variations.First i do them wide grip and then I quickly switch to close grip.I do them 1 of each for a total of 120 reps.6 sets.

[CallMeMrNameless]

Not only do these pullup-bars not fit into anydoorway of my house, the doorways are too weak anyway, because it's a prefabricated house.

But I finally figured out a way to do pullups at home: I've attached my white belt (it's very tear-sesistant) to the last step of the stairs, after putting it through a ring. And then I could attach my pull-up bar to that via carabiner. I'm confident it can carry me.

I'm so happy!

[o0oMVPo0o]

I can't hold on tight on the bar for the last 3 days. Thanks to Scooby now i can do 2 pullups myself without any help :D.

[BlAcKoPsK1nG3]

my friend has one and we jumped on it and we broke the door frame :0

[MrFreethrowchamp21]

so if i do 8 pullups, i should gain 18 pounds of muscle. but just in case i will check about 13 of your videos that tell about you cant gain muscle fast

[cooliosurfer1]

Hey scoobster, I've found lately that my left lat is way smaller than my right, any quick fix for this so I can do pullups equally on both arms, not the other do more weight

[lovingmontasoccer]

@cooliosurfer1 its an illusion i think i am not sure but i think the same about my lat its under your shoulder right i am not sure.

[cooliosurfer1]

@lovingmontasoccer Idk! When I do pullups it feels like my right lat is doing so much more work. It feels tighter. But it might be so. and yea the lat is the muscle located right below your shoulder blade; almost where the kidneys are

[lovingmontasoccer]

@cooliosurfer1 dont worry about it thats all i have to say if you dont trust it talk with an expert and its probably an illusion just excercise this form i feel this does work great scooby did take care for me to heal my joints i only know people here in town who do destroy their own body with wrong forms of excercise only my box trainer is using proper forsm and his pupils people in the gym here are real noobs :D

noobis not such an nice word but they are.

[HumanOFtheWeek3000]

I bought that pullup bar for my door and it broke both of my door frames, now I am sad :(. And btw I am 180lbs

[LikeAnyOtherAsian]

so do you lift youself up using the chair then slowly let yourself down yourself?

[randomstuff787]

i'm 15, when i first started the teen routine i could do 6 pullups by myself. =D

[Made1nGreece]

@drewmuscle95 mostly his sets are 3.for beginning workout plan he recommends 8reps.above beginner(teen or intermediate) he recommends 8-15reps

[mrkevlite22]

scooby i cant go within 100 feet of a school or park...what do i do!

[gottiku]

@mrkevlite22 So who are you, Pedobear? LOL ^_^

[drewmuscle95]

question, so how many sets do u recomend? i ca do about 8 pull ups max for each type of pull up.

[GrowlanserDragoon]

bummer...I'm too heavy for this....alternatives Scooby ? 6 months ago I started my own little get fit regime and weighed 320lbs. I'm now down to 278lbs but seem to have hit the plateau. So I've been looking at your vids for tips and some things I'm just not able to do. My knees arent the greatest and I cant do lunges (every time i try it feels like my tendons are ripping away from the bone! ) so I stick to squats.

[BravingTheOutDoors]

Scooby, how many pull ups is considered good pullup ability? 30?

[mikeK111111]

i cant believe this asshole focuses so much energy in proper form for curls and hammer curls.

try adding some squats to get real strong. or deadlifts.

or if you want to look like this just do some dianbol or anavar. Happy hannakah

[DukeDonut]

@mikeK111111 Yeah this dude is so weak!

[Ophiucus0907]

Will these be beneficial for MMA as well? 

[5bishop5]

@TheTheHugoHugo he's just showing you how to do it he's not really doing them you idiot.

[sandrapacopaco]

i cant even get down slowly :(

[vrachtwagen3000]

I'm from Europe, here we have windows above doors hence we cannot use that piece of equipment :(

[bloodshot738]

I went to Target today and bought one.

[KijkDeze]

240 pounds or muscle :O

[TheMyklar]

Scooby your generosity is truly awesome! Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and for all the posts that show us all how to be better, healthier, happier versions of ourselves. You rock dude!

[74teresinakkk]

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk vc eh um figura!!!

[jamckass]

@YouJew1000 8 reps means yo repeat the 8 pullout process 10 times resting from one to another.

[NalFlasH]

hey scooby my elbows are making wierd noises when I lift wieghts like a crunchy noise, but it doesnt hurt should i keep workin out?

[TheTheHugoHugo]

sorry to break it to you buddy but your chin a foot awat from the bar isnt the top

[exoticrides7224]

hey guys here's a tip do it everyday,even if you can only do one or two,that help me build up and im able to do 22 one shot now in 30 secs :D

[CallMeMrNameless]

@exoticrides7224

*in scooby's voice* Watch your form! Do them slowly!

[manhenk]

@exoticrides7224 too fast.. bad form

[killerbiller35]

@YouJew1000 yes

[djjoito]

I like how he says "or you're carrying a little extra fat" in other words, if you're too fat. lol Nice way to be PC. Actually this is a pretty good video on pull ups for beginners.

[lsubeast16]

[OssastoriumDoDs]

Some people don't always realise the obvious.

[luisacer89]

Wow, I can't do this, lol. Hmm, going to have to modify it till I get some strength...

[luisacer89]
