- What's up, elite Thenx athletes?
It's Chris Heria.
Welcome to another video of official Thenx.
Today I'm gonna show you guys how to optimize your pulling
strength with a 100 pullup challenge.
(pulsing music)
All right guys, so let's get started.
Today I'm gonna show you how to optimize
your pulling strength with 100 pullup challenge.
Now in the last video I had asked you guys
to choose five different exercises
from the different pullup styles
that you learned and do ten reps each.
So today we're gonna be choosing
five different pullup exercises
and we're gonna be doing 20 reps each
because I know you guys can take it to the next level.
And we're gonna be adding some extra weight on this.
More than a challenge, this routine is gonna
optimize your pulling strength which is gonna
increase your endurance and your strength
in your back and your bicep.
And to get the most out of your back and your bicep routines
you need to make sure that you're using
different angles of pulling, different styles of pulling
to also get that technique as well as benefit
from the different dimensional planes by doing it
in different angles.
Remember, every single muscle has multiple heads in it
and is targeted by different angles, grips, and positions.
So you want to make sure and target as many of them
as possible during your trainings.
You want to be strategic about your workouts.
Not just training hard, but also training smart.
You can train super hard in your pullups but if you're only
doing one range of motion you're only going to be good
in that one style of pulling.
So these different pullup styles we're about to get into
right now is gonna test your different angles, positions,
and your grips as well.
So we're gonna do 20 each for five exercises
to equal a total of 100.
So we're gonna start off with the basic pullup.
Let's go for 20, guys.
(pulsing music)
Whew.
20 down, 80 more to go.
All right, so that was pullups right there.
So the pullups is really gonna focus again
on your back and your lats.
Now this is the most basic fundamental pulling motion
so you want to actually master the normal pullup.
The strength that you acquire from the pullup
is gonna translate into other different pullup motions.
So you really want to get good at the basics first.
Now once we get the basics let's move onto commandos.
Let's do 20.
(pulsing music)
There we go.
20 reps of commandos right there.
Now here's another move that's gonna be testing
the different angles and grip positions.
So of course from here, this neutral grip is gonna
your rear delts and your biceps in a different way
as well as your back.
But one of the main benefits of commandos is that
as you're pulling on one side you're emphasizing more
on one side, kind of isolating more on one side
than the other.
Which is gonna make sure that you're targeting
both sides really good.
You know, a lot of times when people are doing pullups
they may be pulling a little more on one side
or just have one side a little more dominant
than the other one.
So this one is gonna ensure that you're getting
that proper workout on both sides but still allowing
you to perform the move
without having to use one arm, of course.
So next we have chinups.
Let's go for it.
(pulsing music)
Whew.
Get back up there.
(grunting)
Whew, that was the last one.
That last one was pretty tough.
So there you have chinups right there.
Now chinups is gonna mainly emphasize on your biceps
a lot more than the other exercises
so that's why we threw that one in there.
So next, this one's like that break, right here.
We've got Australian pull ups.
Let's go for this, guys.
(pulsing music)
Whew, damn I'm starting to feel these, man.
I'm starting to second guess this weight vest right here.
I should have just kept it off.
But anyways, no pain no gain, baby we got the last ones.
Neutral grip, 20 reps and this
is gonna equal 100 pullups.
Let's get this, baby.
(pulsing music)
Whew!
Let's go and finish those last reps, baby.
Here we go.
(Pulsing music)
At least I tried.
If you want to, go till failure, guys.
But literally that was legit failure right there.
So if you guys can do this whole set within 10 minutes
100 reps, whether you got weight or not,
that's a challenge right there, guys.
So thank you so much for watching.
