Yes sir, strict form nice and slow to failure and then cheat the hell out of some more. And screw that active passive hang crap. Keep tension on the muscles you want to develope. I never go all the way down but I do rest paus and go all the way up and squeeze.
i love how you pull to the chest, that seems to be the best advice to give anyone wanting to get started on pull ups... when i try that, i feel way way stronger
Thanks for the advice. I spend a lot of time at playground with my son and I tend to do pull-ups to pass time and to challenge myself while my kid is playing. Definitely going to use these tips :)
well this is propably the 100th pull-up video I've watched so far and I've never ever heard of the active hang position and here I sit wondering why my improvements are so little - thanks CM, straight to my subs
I'm in the workout game now for the 5th year, and I think this is one of the best workout advice videos. He said what's important what shoud you avoid. Other videos are 16 min long with 3 ads and a bunch of bullshit. So, good job!😊👍
awesome video! specially good for all those rep chasers, that are only working on getting more and more reps.... quality over quantity my friends, time under tension, load and weight, complete ROM... there are so many variables to be considered than just counting repetitions
Martin Jose I got to admit that sometimes I am a rep chaser or in case of levers a seconds chaser. I got to take a step back and push my ego out of the way. Like Eleggs says 'start low and increase slow'
I can do 23 technically correct pullups (elbows straight) but I normally do fewer than 12 trying to focus on full quality. People I meet at the outdoor gym most often try to achieve more reps by any shitty technique necessary....
Right, I can understand going too fast during a competition (which I still do not really agree with) but to train in this hurried way you compromise actual muscle growth not to mention the dangers of jarring your joints.
more weight more power. go 6 months with 200lb then cut to 180lb for 4 months and 2 months to get back to 200... I'm just doing "street workout" bodyweight exercises :D
It is true that power increases as weight increases, however the relation isnt so proportional when decreasing. Well at least for a while, our body tends to maintain its original strength before it gets used to a new condition. This leads to easier pullups under the circumstance that you've lost some weight.
'To get the right imagination, you can practice this with a resistance band. Fix the band right under your elbow and pull it down without grabbing it with your hands. By doing so, you only pull the band down with the elbow, and this will lead to right neural muscular input' Why have I not seen this on any other video? Thank you a lot, that tip is really helpful for me.
I added this video to my watch later list for my wife to see she is struggling with pull ups but it's slowly getting better as long as she continues to work but I myself found this video very useful as well cheers mate and thank you
Good video. Very important about tension, talked about at the end. It's the same principle when you do other exercises. For example push ups. So many people just dunks out their push ups in a rapid pace. It's much better to slowly lower yourself to the ground, paus and make sure form is perfect, then press up as hard and as quickly as you can, finishing the push up. It promotes tension, explosive strength and prevents sloppy form. Saw great development once I began doing push ups like this instead of rapid speed up and down.
Extra tip: For people that struggle to get past lower rep ranges, try (after exhausting unsupported pull-up strength) putting a chair underneath the bar to assist you. This will allow you to exhaust your muscles closer to failure, and may end up helping you to do more than 1-2 pull-ups per set.
Thanks for the distinction between active and passive hang. I was beginning to think the active was "wrong" or cheating but my shoulder grinds when going all the way down to a passive hang so good to know it's ok to stay engaged.
Great vid as usual. I have been doing pull-ups for over 30 years with strict form, my PB was 400 in 60 mins. But watching this shows me how I can improve my technique....just shows, you never stop learning and improving.
I remember one year in school we had a pull up test as part of our fitness testing and I went to the nearby park to practice. I started of just hanging from the bar and slowly working my way up to 10 the test required 10 to pass
I can do x15 pull ups. I have been doing this for more than 4 months.Before i can only do upto 8 pull ups now i can do 15 times more. The result of doing pull ups everyday..thnk u
I am 64 and weak but getting stronger. I just wanted to give you guys a shout out. I started doing modified calisthenics about 4 months ago. I can tell that I am improving. I am starting to turn it up a notch because I am getting a little stronger thanks in part to your videos and others.
that "back activation" thing did really helped me, prev i was feeling awkward, stiff when doing pull ups. when i tried it it felt like i was working right muscles. thanks for sharing
Increase your frequency. If you can only do say, 4 pullups, do 3 pullups every time you walk past the pullup bar (helps if you have one at home). About 5 months ago I could only do 3 pullups, whilst today I do 12 pullups as a *warmup* at the exact same weight.
Brosin Abasi I have a pull up bar in my door since 6 days. But the problem is that I don't know what grip to use. Because when I do a shoulder grip I just can't touch the bar with my chest cause my arms are there
If you improve you do more pull ups man,what are you saying? I couldn’t even do 1 like 2 weeks ago,now I do 7 and it’s still hard but didn’t need any tips to get there
Pull ups are my favourite exercise, l usually hold under permanent tension by not going all the way down and keeping my elbows slightly bent. I will try your tips. Thanks you
fantastic instruction. I never really knew the difference between passive and active. I love dead hangs so I have been doing many passive hangs. I also do pullups. This will help me improve.
I started doing pull-ups 2 months ago and i wasn't even able to do a second complete pull-up. now after using these tips that you already mentioned in some previous videos i managed to do 10 pull ups (with around 30 sec time under tension) . thanks
SraverHD all i did was to use proper form , as they teach here and in their older video and I started by doing pull-ups every day , which at the beginning was extremely hard, as I said ,I couldn't complete 2 correct pull-ups. I then managed to do 2 sets of 4-5 then the number grew. Now I can do 10 in a row ,but my target is to be able to de 3 sets of 8 with 90 sec break. Now I can only do 2 sets of 8 and 1 set of 6. after I succeed,I will train until I am able to do 3 sets of 10 .

Because you don't watch enough vidéo ;)
@@PleXi00 agreed
Watch AthleanX's video on how to improve pull ups, it is more science based and more correct than this video
Because you can't do a pullup without using your back muscles. This video is retarded.

@kommisar explain why? What are you trying to attain? Scapular retraction has nothing to do with training the lats other than stabilizing the scapula.

The best and clearest explanation on how to improve your pull up
The best tutorial and information on how to properly do a pullup.
Here's an important tip also.. LOSE WEIGHT
There's a difference between doing pullups at 130lb and at 160lb.
more weight more power. go 6 months with 200lb then cut to 180lb for 4 months and 2 months to get back to 200... I'm just doing "street workout" bodyweight exercises :D
Shouldnt the extra power compensate for the added weight?
Im 125kg thats probably why I cant even do one xD
Holy cow you are so friggen smart!
It is true that power increases as weight increases, however the relation isnt so proportional when decreasing. Well at least for a while, our body tends to maintain its original strength before it gets used to a new condition. This leads to easier pullups under the circumstance that you've lost some weight.

Arguably person one has even less than 15 seconds under tension because person 1 does not flex on the way down
