[gamerforlife16]

Start p90x now. (Download) it for free at 90daywokout(d0t)tk

[madmardygan]

I hope it's just the angle but it looks like you never get your chin over the bar. If you're doing P90x, you;ll notice he does an inbetween of chest to bar and chin over bar so you'll want to go up a little higher. Good luck!

[cubanninja1]

i am sixteen years old 163 lbs i used to be 215 lbs and could nvr do a single pullup yesterday after months of training and losing 52 lbs i did my first pulup lol since i broke the plateu today i can do two pullups :)

[SirCartoon]

Good luck man, hope it works out for you

[glennshigh]

wen i was locked up for 6 months i couldnt even do 10 in one clip bye the end of my stay i was doing 400 pullups n 10 at a clip, 4 different angles a hundred of each try it out, no long brakes get the shit done

[TCx15x]

im 14 weigh 115 i can do about 7-9 is that good :(

[RealestMcKoy]

@TCx15x

Yes its good!

[TCx15x]

hi, does it matter were your hands are can they be in front or behind the bar or is that different?

[steelers4life34]

@kazarkas1993 Yeah thats nice. And good luck for you too. I just havent been working my arms out all that much.

[ryanbruni]

before p90x icould do more than 20 pullups i am now starting i am 15 150 lbs and getting better and better everyday ithink the abs are the real workout

[GordiniRX7]

There are a lot more 16 year olds (like myself) than I thought. Im only doing P90X to get bigger and ripped. Im at 145 right now and hope to be around 155-160 when Im done. I can also do about 25-30 pullups at a time. And I can run a 4.6 sec. 40 yard dash. So Im hoping to get bigger and drop that time by a couple tenths. I encourage EVERYONE who is looking to be in better shape to try P90X.

[steelers4life34]

I am 16 and 160 lbs. and i can do like 17 pull-ups but im going to be starting the P90X workout pretty soon, so i hope i get substantial results. I really want this because I am on the Raiders team in Jrotc at my school and one of the events in the competitons are pull-ups.

[ICYHOTMiLKYLiCKAZ]

FUCK YOU CHEATER.

[MrAlstair123]

Guys don't forget that swimming is the best cardio workout out there, most people don't mention it because it's too hard to maintain a good swimming workout, but take it from me: swim, bike, run, do pullups, do pushups, do healthy weight lifting excercises and you'll be in great shape for a long time! Keep up the good work

[lakerizvi]

@MrAlstair123 i am training to be a lifeguard and they make you do rescues on people, treading with the weights, timed laps nd stuff like that. i just need to complete one more course which ill do when i am 16 yet i can only do one pull-up. any further advice as to what i should do?

oh and i play basketball about 2-4 times a week for around 3 hrs everytime I go

[MrAlstair123]

@lakerizvi Good man basketball is one of the best sports out there for cardio and lean muscle creation, the way i got good at pullups was by taking monday, wednesday, and friday as my pullups day started doing five sets of one very good pullup, by that i mean going all the way up and all the way down, and every week i incremented the amount of pullups per set, usually by one. But by the fifth week i was at five pullups in five sets, then i moved to doing 8 pulls in 3 sets, and now i do 10 in 4.

[lakerizvi]

@MrAlstair123 thanks for the tips man

looking forward to making progress this summer

[MrAlstair123]

@lakerizvi You could probably do the same as long as you maintain the routine and NEVER deviate, I don't consider myself a very strong person and i was still able to achieve that goal so i'm pretty sure you'll get there way faster. Anyways see if that works for you.

BTW I'm studying to become a lifeguard too lol, good luck bro.

[cube89]

Go all the way down and then go all the way up to the top so you get your jaw over the pole :) then you will feel that its getting a much better workout :D But good keep up :)

[jonnyboy531]

I can do 60 on a curved bar doing curls.

[jonnyboy531]

Im 15, 190 lbs, and cant do any pull ups. I can do 115 lbs on lat pull down. Wtf shud i do.

[jumar1281]

@jonnyboy531

don't worry about not being able to do any, you have keep trying, putting in the effort, and with hard work you will stronger and eventually able to start doing pullups. remember to exercise your whole body, start doing pushups, squats, deadlifts, every 3rd day or so try to pull yourself up on a pullup bar. when you can't get up even an inch, just hang on the bar, that will even start building strength.

[ihaveabigtv]

@jonnyboy531 eat mcdonalds

[myflipflops]

If you're doing the P90x program you'll need to get weight bands. That's a good way to start out, and then like jumar said, periodically try to pull yourself up on a bar. also, it wouldn't hurt to work your biceps since that is a secondary muscle group used in pullups. either way, best of luck!

[91lilfrozone23]

@myflipflops

you should stick your chest out when doing pull ups dude D:

[rea93rea93]

lose weight ...get ur arms stronger to do pullups

[XCHITTYXx]

im 15 too bro. i was 190 last summer. before u do nething, lose some bulk. get protien powder, and do loads and loads of cardio. running, biking, and minor weight lifting. lose the bulk and then start toning

[dixonfrank]

@jonnyboy531 just stick to cardio and eat healthy. then start lifting weights

[sbarac1]

join your high school wrestling team, or track and field

[fatso2992]

another way is to jump up and try and let yourself down slowly or put one leg on a chair. But if you start dieting and doing p90x by the time you lose about 20 lbs you will do them. I couldnt do any when I started over a month ago and i can do 4-5 now

[fuckwackemcees]

@jonnyboy531

Why do nobody tell johnnyboy531 to start at the top of a pull up, and slowly let yourself down. It works all the muscles as a pull up but it's easier.

Pause mid way through a 'pull down' and hold it if you can.

[RealestMcKoy]

@jonnyboy531

U need to start slowly, u need to wake your muscles up, before u can make some heavy weight lifting!

And get rid of some fat, do some cardio!

good luck!

[gnocob]

@jonnyboy531 BE LESS FAT

[warpig144]

@jonnyboy531 just keep working out and practicing. you will get it.

[JerksClassified]

@jonnyboy531 when I was 12 I had the same problem, so I just got one of those doorway pullup bars and everytime I passed it tried my best. Eventually I could do one. Than 2, than 3, etc.. now I am 14 and I can do like 25.

[madmardygan]

@jonnyboy531 at 115 lbs, you'll want to increase your lean protein, shoot for 75gs a day, when you geta bit bigger shoot for 100. You should either use weight assist bands, or work on a weight assist machine and rotate high numbers, with higher weight (closer to body weight). You'll want to do high weight about once a week, and high numbers 2-3 times a week with at least one rest day per work work out..

[carlosjavierPR]

why you did this before starting now your tire for the hard program coming up .. i bet u was tire

[myflipflops]

good call... yeh, I almost threw up during the first workout

[manxxx95]

@myflipflops how should i start this if i barely do 2 :))

[jayccel]

@manxxx95 When I started, I could only do 2 (pathetic for me). Now 6 weeks into the program, I can do 8, take a break and then do another 4. Not bad, for me. You actually build up to it with many of the other exercises you'll be doing, in addition to the pull-ups.

[eriquito]

@myflipflops lol

[killera]

@carlosjavierPR ye but u need ur warmup

[TheKlaj1992]

good luck man(Y) and this p90x you have to follow a dvd bollex or just your maximum on everything?

[bkftcf]

Good luck, man! Stay in there!

[MrNick79]

Off to a good start man, stay motivated!!!

[konceptzofdeath]

i only could do like 4 max when i started, i can do about 12 max now. since you can do 13 starting, you're gonna be repping out 20 something, great strength to weight ratio you got there bud!

[HellsSpeed]

dude doesthis come with a set of weights and other equipment? or do i have to buy my own?

[TheCrimsonKing09]

@HellsSpeed when you buy p90x you only get the CD's you have to buy your own pull bar and weights. THats all u need a pull up bar and a few sets of dumbbells and yoga mat and then your set.

[luigiboy70]

no man no man you have to look at my workouts my back is riped as hell

[DexterK55]

are you not supposed to extend fully each time not with your arms bent

[myflipflops]

i've been told it's not good for your elbow joint to go to full extension

[Cruzin313]

good luck man wish you the best!

[cornholio777]

dude stop the cheat count that was probably 9 descent reps

[myflipflops]

yeh, prob could have gone a bit higher... it's tougher, though, doing it within the door frame

[Esoparagon]

I can't even do one.

[gomddrummer]

I have the same thing this guy has, and it's pretty sturdy, but the pos trim in this house is not, so I'm always scared that my heavy ass is gonna break the door and drop me on my face, followed by a rain of angry splinters and drywall.

So yeah I stick to watching videos like this that make it look easy so I don't really have to impress (read: depress) myself.

[myflipflops]

yeh, the door frame supporting this thing is very old... I also am a bit concerned that it'll break on me... lucky for me, though, i'm 6'4 so I wouldn't have much of a fall... maybe it's time to knock on wood! (no pun intended)

[curtispan]

I got winded just watching the video.

[Bonespirit07]

yea iam 5'5 and weight 140 and i can do 40 pullups

[Mrtubey1]

those are pull-ups

[myflipflops]

indeed they are

[kingzdomain13]

Hey you ever looked up Bartenderz on you tube!

look at how these guyz do pull-up it'z almost inhuman the strenght these guyz have!

[cbdud]

Nice job, keep training. Don't the let folks that talk about chin height deter you. You are doing them for the work out not for a contest. You are still working your arms and body. A person put their chin to the bar won't necessaryilly have more sucess. I don them chin to the bar, but basically it your arms go from and acute angle to an obtuse angle you are getting a good work out! If you want perfert form, then yes....bring you chin up a lil higher...but for a good workout you are fine!

[GarretKnight]

Yeah and you probably weigh 50 pounds less maybe more. Age doesn't mater, in pull ups its all about weight. In power lifting its all about height and weight.

[knight9112]

probably not fully extended ones mate ;)

[SotiriosPK]

hate to be an ass, but if you are doing pull-ups, your chin should be fully above the bar. In my eyes thats as good as zero pull-ups. Good luck with the p90x workout though. Hopefully you get your money's wsorth

[incognito344]

I agree, those aren't real pull ups

[averyjoseph2]

I really suck at pull ups, but I'm not overweight, it really sucks

[TosiValhe]

Well, im good a pull ups (25 max) but I suck at pushups (50 max)

[snowz903]

hey man i'm got p90x and it's working, so man good luck!

[myflipflops]

thanks, man... you too!

[LeonEmo21]

i have that same door hanger thing and i can barely do 3....im really scrawny...im getting the p90x soon

[KyFit]

Leon I actually work with Beachbody ( can verify it) I would love to get you a discount and more importantly a multitude of online and professional support. Give me a call @ 606 356 4237. Benjamin Patrick

[LeonEmo21]

ive actually already ordered it...it's supposed to be coming in in the next 3 days

[Dave4891]

i heard u have to be in shape to use it properly. start doing some excercise and the workout wont murder u as much

[myflipflops]

Wow, almost 23k views! i never knew a video of me doing pullups would bring in such a crowd. I've been working quite a bit on lats/back and pullups at the gym. I'll post an add-on to this video next month... anyone think I can better 13?

[s1ms07]

does the p90x program show different ways to do pull ups, I can't do those at all.

[myflipflops]

Yeh, it'll show you a way to work your lats using the resistance bands.

[knugs1991]

yeh sure... i started with 3  (68 kilograms) and now i am doing 20 (75 kilograms)

DOnt talk bullshit .bony

[Cerberus543]

haha dude i heard your bones crack at the start

[drdanr]

I think that was the stress on the door frame not his bones

[dillonseavers]

the miamisburg wrestling team does this every week. i started with 30 pullups (and i'm 11)

[WaterFightLUFFY]

he probly has better form and hes alot heavier than you

[doonday7]

i started at 15 pullups....requirement for policing i can now do 45...id keep trying this over ur gym and personal trainer. but whatever floats ur boat

[bhambecca]

Hotness!

[rozs7777777]

whats p90x ?

[myflipflops]

it's literally the closest thing you can get to a boot camp routine. you'll need to dedicate 1-2 hrs each day of the week. literally, you'll have to sched your whole day around it... takes serious dedication, but I guarantee you'll see big results

[rozs7777777]

oh rite sounds and looks good.

i thought you need rest days between muscle groups tho ?

[myflipflops]

true, yeh, there is one off day, but there is an optional stretching routine you can do. essentially, there are just three days where you are strengthening exercises... the other days are yoga/kenpo/plyo which are geared more for cardio and flexability.

[909dynasty]

SO HOW IS THE WORK OUT GOING MAN ?

[myflipflops]

honestly, I went back to doing my old workout routine at the gym after day 10. grad school keeps me way too busy, and I often don't have the time and energy to put into this. i still have the DVDs and will start back up when I have a more steady schedule. however, my routine at the gym is very solid, and i've noticed some recent gains from that. thanks for checking in... so, how is your p90x routine going?

[Amitboy1980]

hi wat do u need for p90 workouts wat equipment

[myflipflops]

sorry for the delay... you'll need a pull-up bar. i'd recommend the iron gym that you can just place on any standard foor frame. also, i'd recommend some adjustable dumbbells if you want to see sizable gains. finally, a yoga mat for the yoga and ab workouts.

[themango69]

You'll be busting out 40 by the time you are done if you can do 13 now! Good luck and stick with it.

[poeticrevenge]

You will definetly see results wow your numbers will significantly improve. I still havent been able to do 1 yet I use the bands. I can only do half of one =( Keep pressing play

[rippin222]

good job dude I couldn't even get 8 two weeks into the program good luck man stick with it I'm rooting for everyone
