Those are the nicest public pull-up bars I have ever seen. The ones around where I live have been around since before the Civil War it seems, pretty sure I'd need a tetanus shot after every set
@@AlexLeonidas what do you think of matthew zlatt chin up form, his arms are not super big but his chin up is like 130kg or some shit, his lats are so big that they completely take over
The most impressive part of this video is that he can still talk like normally with high speed during exercise without being out of breath, most fitness RUclipsrs can't say a single word during their exercise. That's the power of cardio gains 💪
Knurled bars are actually pretty terrible, feels like a cheese grater on your hands when you're doing muscle ups. I never struggled with grip strength on a regular bar so it doesn't even make sense to knurl them.
@@AlexLeonidas is it really worth it, tho? I mean, biceps are still beeing worked a lot in a normal chinup, so wouldn't it be better to just try to get better at conventional chinups and then add some isolation biceps work at the end (even bodyweight curls or curls with a band if dumbells are not an option). I mean, why try to turn a compound back exercise into an isolation exercise for the biceps when you can actually do a real isolation exercise for the biceps? Don't get me wrong, your advice in this video it's still great, I'm just curious.
@@matriaxpunk regardless of this being true or not. I think he also recommends this to people that do not have good dumbbells/barbells especially during this lockdown
Great video. I appreciate how you showed multiple times from multiple angles the differences between a lat-centric chin up versus a bicep-centric one. I needed those multiple demonstrations. Thank you.
this is most helpful video about working out i've seen in a while. straight to the point, no overcomplicating and the tips worked really well. thank you! :)
Alex which are your favourite youtube fitness channels which you follow and would suggest others to do as well? Can be a video segment of its own or maybe cover it in Q and A. Always looking forward to your vids but you gotta do something to fix this comment section filter. A lot of quality questions I posted didn't go through and someone in the comment section was complaining about the same thing so might need to be given a look.
Wow that last tip... I've been doing chin-ups for years with biceps emphasis without even knowing it :D And that was never my intention. Good to know. I like this new style, Alex, you can really make a great series like this with short, straight to the point and visual guides. Awesome stuff!
I was wondering why I was only feeling it in the back but not the biceps when I did my chin ups. It's all to do with the grip width and elbow position. Thanks for the tips.
Love the new outdoor scenery and tutorials. Make more for other exercises. Also nice to see you outside in natural lighting too - it kinda uplifts my mood. Gains are still 💯 real though.
Hell yeah. I was introduced to you through this random hate video. And honestly, I have no idea what their problem is cause your tutorials have helped me so much.
Great video; great advice! Many thanks. I'm recovering from rotator cuff surgery and my shoulder range is such that I can't do chin-ups yet, but as soon as I'm able I plan to incorporate chin-ups into my biceps training for sure -- appreciate the tutorial. Keep up the good work bro.
Witnessing Alex evolve throughout the years in so many areas so quickly is like watching the Godfather movies and seeing how the Corleone family evolved from Vito's NY crime mob to Michael's legitimate Las Vegas business.
I really like banded chinups for biceps. I even do weighted band chinups with a vest as crazy as it sounds so that the upper portion of the movement will be the toughest on the biceps.
I swear using this type of pull up have me better arms than I ever got from doing curls. I just made a video about a 6 month experiment of swapping curls for arm biased pull ups and I’m excited for the results! I swear by them for ppl without access for equip to perform curls & if you have your doubts follow my videos and you’ll see just how effective they are.
And follow a tempo called *Chinius* (hold the down portion while saying it) *upius* (up yourself slowly saying this) *bicepius* (hold the top position so long as it takes you to say it).
Once again… the light bulb goes off. You always seem to find the things that strip away the bs and leave you with clear cut ideas and tips. The brain gets a workout too! Many thanks
For you guys that want to modify the chin-up to emphasize your forearm's flexors I recommend you to: -go as narrow as possible -do it with FatGripz -take a thumbless grip (all fingers on one side) and focus on squeezing with the ring fingers and pinky fingers. I am a forearm fanatic and I work my forearms like crazy with the wrist roller and wrist curls, but this chin-up variation left my flexors so sore for days (believe me, I didn't have a soreness in flexors for more than a year of wrist curls and wrist roller...and mind you, I tried both heavy work low reps and high reps too, but heavy work for forearms is the way to go). Have a nice day!
Ironically most beginner lifters feel their biceps more when doing pull ups. When I was doing only chin ups for biceps I noticed growth because I didn't know how to use my back while doing them. Most beginners even myself were arm pullers while doing back movements.
Your cue is to turn it into a calisthenics hollow body pullup, which is fine, because it minimizes the back, turing the pullup onto a pullover, but I much prefer the slightly outside shoulders, like in a Rippetoe barbell curl, for the full contraction cramping sensation.
Theres finally a new apparatus which basically has two short bars attached to the bar bent at slightly 90 degree angles so it hits the bicep peak. A lot of gyms finally brining that chin up bar in.
Those are the nicest public pull-up bars I have ever seen. The ones around where I live have been around since before the Civil War it seems, pretty sure I'd need a tetanus shot after every set
Those are the ones where most gains are made hahaha
When workout A turns into hepatitis B
Those tetanus vaccines work for 5 years man, no worries haha
Bro you read more comments from other people’s videos than you do your own 😂
I went to this sketchy park where some fucked up low life had put sharp razor blades on the top of the pull up bar.
Ur transformation as a whole person since when you started is unbelievable bro, very inspiring man!
Much love OG!
Compare to your previous outdoor workout videos, this one's quality is revolutionary.
Revolutionary
Your speech has improved a lot. This guy does everything good. Nice work bro, thanks for the tips
Preciate that Serrano, enjoy the gains!
His public speaking skills are insane. Mirin
Calisthenics is having some spotlight!
💪
Calisthenics is the real deal!!

All these fives and you’ll be a starting strength coach soon.
Great quality videos man :)

Alex can instruct a pull up while doing a pull up. That’s what I call specificity
I haven't even seen a knurled pull up bar in a gym, but in a park? No way
You'd be surprised man, these calisthenics parks have nice bars! The dip station is on point too.
Knurled bars are actually pretty terrible, feels like a cheese grater on your hands when you're doing muscle ups. I never struggled with grip strength on a regular bar so it doesn't even make sense to knurl them.
Just when I’ve spent so much time learning chins correctly for back, now I have to learn how to do them wrong for biceps.
Lmao crazy ain't it?!?! Was in the same boat as you brother
Or you can always do the head banger chin ups, the motion is similar to a bicep curl.

@@matriaxpunk I think it's for torso dominant people whose back blow up when they max out on chinups but the biceps stay the same.

Yes, I want more content like this! No B.S., you go straight to the point and you are giving us so much value!
Gawdaaaamn that new vid quality is crisp bro
your charisma only improves year on year. well done.
Great video. I appreciate how you showed multiple times from multiple angles the differences between a lat-centric chin up versus a bicep-centric one. I needed those multiple demonstrations. Thank you.
100% more of these outside type of videos. Fantastic editing, explanation & OP lighting. Looking massive 💪🔥

Awesome production quality, short, sharp and sweet. Great work Alex!

Great to know that David, cheers!
This is such a high quality, beautiful informational video

This video editing is gold! Also thats the nicest fucking knurled pull up bar
Literally just done a pull day and had used these..... Your video has gone and fed my torso dominant ego just when it was needed 😂🔥
Hell yeah. I was introduced to you through this random hate video. And honestly, I have no idea what their problem is cause your tutorials have helped me so much.

You’re a true inspiration buddy. Thanks and keep it up 👍🏼
This channel is pretty awesome! Love the content man 👍
change my mind, the main purpose of this video is for Alex to show off how easily he can speak while banging out a bunch of chins
😂
Loving this style of vids man!
10/10 video tutorial, love the outdoor video
Badass tips , thank you !
Could you try out the 100 pullups and 200 pushups in 10 minutes challenge?
Huge quality jump in your videos man. Keep it up.
I swear using this type of pull up have me better arms than I ever got from doing curls.

Nice video outside really liking the switch in location

Damn remember seeing your comments from ages ago
Always solid advice on this channel! Thank you will try these next time
The ellbow flaring stuff really helps. Thanks. Last tip is also great thx
Once again… the light bulb goes off. You always seem to find the things that strip away the bs and leave you with clear cut ideas and tips. The brain gets a workout too! Many thanks

Thanks bro. This absolutely killed my forearms and biceps
@@basti9935 Glad I could help.
I'm really loving this new style!
Thanks so much for this content Alex.
I like these tips. Your forearms are looking awesome man, could you show us what you do to train them these days?
filming is on fucking point
Dips for triceps next!!!
Love this content, Alex your doing so much for the serious lifting community! Can u do a video the roam roll wall squat?
This neighbourhood looks like the sims game

Exactly man!
Great content bro!! Would love to see more like this. Triceps next with body weight
Buddy in red hitting the Rollerblade lunges is key to enhancing those biceps
Nice video great job on the demo too 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
why this video so looking damn sick.. i like this style more even I do not needs the advice but I like watching ^_^
Alex and Omar are the only dudes that look natural to me on RUclips.
Not surprised homie, we're some of the last real naturals left. I'd throw Scott Herman in there too
@@AlexLeonidas true. Forgot about that guy. Keep up the good work man. Real good advice. None of that juiced up bullshit people sadly eat up.
Great vid , just what I was looking for
Enjoyed this a lot and I’m looking forward to maintaining my gains with these lock down work outs
This is almost like watching a movie omg gr8 video quality
Thanks, really been needing this!
Let me know how those biceps respond!
Good vid bro

Great recourse
bro y do u upload this exactly when I arrive at the park, I'm not gonna watch this with mobile data u know
ty for the vids alex
Theres finally a new apparatus which basically has two short bars attached to the bar bent at slightly 90 degree angles so it hits the bicep peak. A lot of gyms finally brining that chin up bar in.
Thanks Alex. Nice one
The elbow tuck really is a game changer
Very educative bro
Haha, this is getting me hyped for your calisthenic program!
Quality here is amazing
great video thanks
Loving the lowkey bgm lol
Good tips man
The dude in red t-shirt in the background looks interesting. Could you please ask him what he has been taking and post it?
Best vid. Period
