    I spent a long time training negatives and inverted rows, but I still couldn't do a single pull-up. I started practicing scapula pull-ups and assisted one-arm scapula pull-ups. This helped me understand how to "initiate" the pull-up movement. Previously, I would try to pull myself up with my shoulders protracted and my legs in a hollow body position (I felt at that time i was pulling with my arms only). But after training for scapula pull-ups, i suddenly started to arch my back a little bit, and got my first rep after two weeks of scapula pull-ups.

      Be sure to drink 30g of whey protein after you workout. Also throughout the day eat chicken, steak, beans, etc. This will rebuild your pull up muscles. Get on the assisted pull up machine. Put it on the heaviest setting so you can only do 2. Rest, wait 2 minutes. Then get on the assisted machine , give it 100% and blast out 2. Then rest. Do this for 2 hours or however long your workouts are. Your food will rebuild your muscles. Mon,Wed,Fri / workout. Sat/sun off. M/W/F back at it. Then the 2nd fold of your fingers, example: When you make a eagle claw hand gesture, wrap that part around the bar with both hands. Then try it, 100% with that grip. Just try to do 1. If you did the progressions I told you, your muscles have no choice but to adapt and do 1. Eventually 5. Eventtually a muscle up. Note: When practicing pull ups, your only doing quick bursts of 100% effort. Not all day, until ur tired giving it only 50% cuz that's all you got left stuff. My way or the highway. It improves even high level athletes.

      @@rikawrites7104 Find an easier pull-up progression where you can learn how to activate your scapula during the movement. Place a chair behind you and bend your knees so that your feet are on the chair. Pull yourself up to the bar with your chest and use your legs to press on the chair for assistance.

    I wrote down the workout because I like to be able to read off it when I am at the gym! I also put the key times in the video in case I need to go back and watch it when I'm at the gym! Thought others might find this of use!
    Top 4 Mid-back/Lat Strengthening exercises
    Lat pull down (neutral grip) - (0:33)
    Lat push down - (1:11)
    BB bent over rows - (1:40)
    [wrists down means middle+upper back - (2:13) ]
    [wrists up means good for biceps+mid back - (2:22) ]
    Inverted rows - (3:04)
    Tips for form and Positioning
    No swinging! Engage your core (tighten abs) to avoid! - (5:37)
    Retract those shoulders! - (6:03/6:22/6:44)
    Pull-up Progression (assisted)
    Start with assisted machine - (8:38)
    tip: the higher the number on the machine, the easier it is (I know, backwards!) - (8:17)
    Next, banded pull ups - (10:12)
    Toss the band half way over, then tie it through - (9:27)
    Put 1 foot thru but be careful getting in and out! - (10:05)
    The thicker the band, the easier - (11:10)
    THE PULL-UP (unassisted)
    Practice this strength training (for this muscle group) 1-2 times a week, use these tips for progression, and then we can get our pull ups down! - (12:05)

    Not to be that type of person but does give some great tips such as engaging the core muscles, but there are much better ways to acheive your first pull ups. Personally I would start with bar hangs and start training with inverted rows. After that I would do australian pull ups the next variation after that would be eccentric pull-ups to help the body learn negative movement. The next good variaton after this would be jump assisted pull ups. finally I would try and do my first pull if you can do 15 jump assited pull ups in a row.

    Bent over BB rows can create too a great challenge of spinal and core stability, and the back can just become part of a movement instead of hitting the back hard as you want, inverted rows with their many variances are safer for beginners. Your Scapula are depressed when they go down, not retracted. Retracted is backwards
