hi guys i am a teen basketball player and track sprinter (14) that is looking to increase his strength by alot.

right now i am doing hundredpushups.com twentypullups.com and a lot of vertical jump and quickness training.

i am really weak as i can only do 3 1/2 rom pullups and 0 full rom pullups and 10 pushups with perfect form.

I am also sorta fat as my weight is 130 and i am 5'3 bodyfat is around 25%.

any feedback will be appreciated and i will be posting videos.

what is the best way to increase your pullups and pushups,
i do not want to quit hundred pushups as it helped me go from 4 to 10 in 3 weeks. i also increased from 1 to 3 1/2 rom pullups in two weeks. but i want to know waht would be the best way to gain strength in the pullup and pushups fastest. Please respond thanks

yes!!! got my first full rom pullup guys and got it on video

video will be up soon

Welcome and congratulations on ur 1st full rom pull up.

gotnba well except pull ups and push ups, train with leg raises etc ur core too. Also some squats maybe helps u build some leg strength.


BTW dont try to find the "fastest" way, just workout hard and u ll get better eventually. Well there are many ways but some works better on some guys but not so well for other So just practice hard the way u like and u ll progress , it doesnt matter fast or slow!!!

It's actually really simple. If you want to do more push-ups or pull-ups, practice doing push-ups and pull-ups. Practice a lot. You can switch up the routines by playing around with the reps/set/rest scheme to make it more interesting. Just give it time and you'll reach your hundred push-ups and twenty pull-ups. When you're done with those programs, increase the difficulty of those exercises through leverage or just a different exercise to target those muscles. You'll get there.

Thanks a lot guys really appreciate the help will work hard to acheive my goals and i found the tutorials section really helps. i am so excited to be part of this forum

i was struggling last rep but i got it with some work!

now time for some weighted backpack negatives.

weighted negatives were tough i also did pushup walks where you put something plastic like a frisbee and put your legs on them and on the tile floor use your arms to walk as fast as you can. their raelly tough if you do them for a long distance.

The workout is getting really tough im having up the rest time for the last set and second last set to 7:00, i know gains is tough adn plateauing is all aprt of it, idk if i should switch routines as i hear their are more effective routines to build strength but i fell as though i am quitting, on the dragondoor.com forums some guy was like it isnt quitting if you are switching to a mroe effective routine but idk, i also heard it took people like a really long time to complete the hundred pushups program so idk if i should switch what do you guys think?
