Doing 110 pull ups in a row non stop

Question

How does the average Joe and the plain Jane train and prepare to do 110 pull ups in a row non-stop super strict form and no hanging rest,both hands always holding the bar and at least one repetition every 2 seconds?

How do the Athlete Joe and the Athlete Jane train to achieve the exact same feat of strength?

Athlete Joe/Jane is by no means a strong person but on a good day can do 30 reps in a row maybe one more at best and finds it hard to progress further from there. Athlete Joe/Jane can be considered a beginner overall but slightly more proficient at upper body exercises than the average Joe/jane .

Requirements are as follows:

• the methods must be time efficient and not result in overtraining

Answer 1

How does [someone] prepare to do 110 pull ups in a row

Start by recognizing this as an extreme goal. I bet the people achieving >75 pull-ups got there by doing gymnastics or bar calisthenics for years. Coming even close to this number of pull-ups in one set is such a rare skill that you shouldn't ask anyone who hasn't done it. (Elite training is so incredibly different from even advanced intermediate training that usually-helpful answers stop making sense.)

Someone who does a hundred pull-ups in a set loves pull-ups. Their motivation to do pull-ups is not just better than anyone they know, it's better than anyone in their country--in the whole world. They may enjoy training for pull-ups more than they enjoy anything else in the world. You don't know if you like training for pull-ups at all.

What I recommend is this: get acquainted with pull-ups. Get moderately good at them then decide whether you love the process (not the goal!) so much that you're willing to sacrifice unreasonable amounts of time, effort, and relationships to work on it. Then decide if more pull-ups are still your goal.

Here's what I'd try: begin with fitting 100 pull-ups into every workout. Then fit those reps into as few sets as possible. Try all the different grips, and prove to yourself that you're at least good at all of them, even if you have a favorite. Then increase the total number of pull-ups -- I'd add 10 every week until I doubled it. At the same time I'd start doing some workouts with pull-up variants: weighted, one-arm progressions, holds, archers, playing with tempo and partial reps, and so on. After this point you'll have to get a little creative, a little crazy: start optimizing your bodyweight for this task, and finding accessory exercises which address your weak points. By now you may have experienced a training injury forcing you to get familiar with some anatomy and amateur physical therapy or other medical or medical-adjacent topics.

Answer 2

You could keep your bodyweight mass down, lose fat if you have any, and do several lat exercises such as landmine rows with t bar, or lat bars, one armed rows, etc. Use an endurance type rep scheme(15-20). Working your forearm strength and grip as well as core and biceps to some degree with additional training. Try adding weight here and there but focus more on increasing reps since this is your goal. Outside of this.. just do 6 sets of amap reps of pullups a couple times a week and try to increase your numbers each time. If you fail, stop and start a new set. At the end of the month., try the pull up challenge again. Eventually you'll hit a very high number of reps to where muscular endurance and cardio are going to be the factors that get you that high. You will have to truly work on yourself, and be very lean. Try to not gain too much muscle, even losing muscle in legs might help you.

Reevaluate where you are at the end of each month.. what breaks first, your grip, energy, back, shoulders? And work on those things first.

To reach record high nymbers, you'll have to lose as much weight as you can while keeping your muscles strong. You'll potentially even have to lose muscle in places that don't matter just to she'd a few pounds off such as chest, triceps, legs, etc..

Genetics can play a key role too.. for instance a 5'4 person is going to weigh less and be more mechanically advantages to do more pullups than a 6,0 person

Answer 3

Don't.

If you can do 100 pullups, unless you're doing it to prove a point or show off, training to do 110 is a huge waste of time, because the majority of your time is spent slowly reaching your limit, at which point gains can be made.

Instead, make the exercise harder until you're reaching your limit at, say, ten reps. For pullups, perhaps make moves towards one-armed pullups, starting with doing them from side to side, progressing to holding on to a towel with one arm instead of the bar, etc.

Answer 4

I have never been able to do that many. I have been as high as 30 consecutive and clean all the way down all the way up fast at the same time doing 5 with only right hand and 4 with only left.

A few things that helped me progress:

-Start at the top with your chin above the bar and slowly lower yourself down. Do this one handed with both hands(if you can do so without hurting yourself, if not work up to it). IMO you should be doing 25 with perfect form before going for one handed. The point between where your arm is straight and where it is bent at about 30 degrees is the hardest to move through(why you see so many people avoid this part of the motion all together). You want to be able to lower yoursef easily and slowly through this range eventually with one hand and have that motion as part of your exercise.

-Hang from one arm(do two if you can not do this safely) fully extended and lift your body with your shoulder, neck and lat, those are the muscles that initially propel you into the range where the muscles in your arm can fully engage.

-Do pull-ups, chin-ups and these exercises every day until you CAN NOT do another one, then hang there and pull hard for 10 or 15 seconds like your life depends on it. You have really got to want it, and it will hurt every day.

-Take very good care of your body and take care not to injur yourself

Good luck, hope you get there
