    After the beginner stage of calisthenics, the best approach is to practice every grip one can imagine: pullups, chinups, neutral, normal diameter bar, large diameter bar, rings, rope, towel, climbing board, ledge, wide, narrow, thumb under, thumb over, three fingers, two fingers, chalked up hands, chalk-free hands, full grip, finger tips grip, false grip, one-arm, uneven grips, and variations thereof...

      Grip is so important. Once you get that iron-grip everything gets so much easier and you can focus on whatever your goals are. Also, I don't know why, but when reading your comment my mind was instantly transported to that scene in Forest Gump where Bubba keeps rattling off different ways to prepare shrimp.

      @@BenSmith-xn4rj I have naturally small forearms and small wrists. That makes my grip relatively weak for my 200 lbs body. I have to do grip-focused exercises to get my grip where I need it. Basically, I do a lot of deadhangs.

    @petertenaglia1709 Месяц назад +2

    I do various grips, wide, shoulder width, narrow and prolonged. Occasionally I'll do some pull up ,palms facing me. Always good to switch it up and hit the muscles from different angles. I also tend to do the first 10 or so 80% range at a quick pace and last handful slower and complete range. Like he said , it's what works for you. Everyone is different.

      You're right, Anni. My wife is learning to pull up and the bars in gyms are typically made for a male hand span.
      She has gotten used to it but it did take time.
      If you DO have access to a thinner bar, try to use that. If not, at least you know that if you can learn to pull up on a thick bar, you can do pull ups anywhere 💪🏿💪🏿

  • @AwestaKhalid
    @AwestaKhalid 24 дня назад

    ever since I got the suisse pull-up handles, I feel like my pullups and chin ups work my rear delts more than before. I always go for chin-over-the-bar but since the bar is now higher due to the pullup handles, it has increased my range of motion (meaning that the ROM would be considered chest-to-bar w/o the handles).
    My question to you is this: do you think that extra bit of ROM (either from doing chin-over-bar w/these handles or chest to bar w/o handles) engages more of the rear delts?
    Thanks.

    • @CaliToTheCrowd
      @CaliToTheCrowd  21 день назад +1

      Heya mate, first of all good on you for finding a way that helps you get the most. Out of your pull ups / chin ups.
      By increasing the range you will likely see benefits across your whole back, not just your rear delts, as everything (lats, traps, rhomboids, teres major and minor, infraspinatus all work to pull you higher up the bar 💪🏿

  • @BomoBomo-go6wt

    I was in the USMC from 1998 - 2006. Most I could do at once was 16. :(
    However, I discovered two things that are optimal over what's in this video.
    Gripping the bar with your thumb is less optimal than bringing your thumb over the bar alongside your fingers. You're exerting just a tad bit of extra energy 'squeezing that thumb' for your grip.
    2nd, a wide diameter bar (like 2.5" or 7cm) is easier than a narrower diameter bar, as it more evenly distributes the load of your body on your hands over a bigger area.

    Great video. The only thing I disagree with is that chinups cannot be done with a very wide grip. It's true that for a straight bar it feels bad, but if you have angles at the sides of the bar (or rings), you can do them, won't feel bad on the wrist and it's considerably harder than regular chin ups.
    That aside, always good, nuanced info :]

    • @CaliToTheCrowd
