Have you tried these before? I've used them the last 10 years and love them.
Whats your opinions on “weighted” McGill pull ups?
@brian carroll 1306 whats your opinions on “8” lifting straps for 315lb+ lifts? I stopped doing the under over grip and did double over but limited by grip strength at 315lbs. I am 165lb dude doing 3 sets at 5 reps at 315lbs. With 8 straps, i can do 365 3x5 easy.
I've been doing them for about a month now and the strength increase is incredible. Thank you for putting this information out there.
Just started today Brian.
I can do ten not very clean pull ups.
I’ll keep you posted on my progress. Thanks for videos

Excellent content as always. I appreciate the when and why more than ever now. I will definitely include these in my programming when the timing is right.
More people should be seeing this!
Spread the word
As a crossFit coach, and gymnastic coach, tried it, works for me, im programming it onto the guys i coach, coupled with swinging and 1 armed swinging, either on rings or bars....... seems everybodies improving, thanks from CrossFit Main-Taunus , peace out and thanks mate
Cheers mate
I just started last week. Bicep been hurting lots maybe from doing consecutive reps. Thanks for the info!
No problem!!
It's absolutely normal that the biceps / arms are the limiting factor when doing pull-ups. Keep pushing!
Going to actually start using these on next block. I am definitely a big guy and pulls have been an issue for me. Definitely see carry over doing pull ups but also need to use bands for assistance. Hope this can eliminate bands and build my ability to do free pull ups.
Lots of ways to do this. Thanks for the feedback!
its been a year, did this improve the amount of pull ups u can do?
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
I have been playing with this kind of pull ups and with a 100 KG weight, I feel I cannot do more than 10 repetitions while used to do 5 sets of 6 but I guess that getting hard before the pullup makes everything harder. Thanks for sharing.
Great job!
I'm like these so far. I do pull ups 5 days a week but at 290lbs high reps kept leading to teres major strains. I warm up with light pullovers then hammer these out. No more strains or aches.
I would do less possibly
These seem similar to grease the groove except Pavel Tsatsouline said you should do the pullups slowly. So far I really like these.
Yes
Thanks
Welcome
It comes instead of my Planck workouts? Or should I do it as a warm up and than I can move on to my back workout?
Is this as effective when applied to other exercises? Such as squats, push ups, explosive lunges, etc.
So do you squeeze your glutes too? Is it bad to arch your back?
I wonder if this McGill type of lifting works with all types of lifts? Bench, squats, etc? Just do 1 or 2 reps at 100% for many sets? Any info on other lifts? This is revolutionary!
Absolutely!! I did it with upright rows.
Have been called cluster sets in the past. I have done these with deadlifts, it helps to increase the 'tonnage' that you lift, without killing yourself with volume at lower percentages. I believe it was 5 sets of 3; each set of three had :15 seconds rest between reps, and each new set started every 3-4 minutes. I jumped by deadlift from 405 to 435 in 6 weeks, doing this once a week.
A question… with this technique due to the fact that is possible to do 100 or more pull up is it great also for hypertrophy (due to the high volume) ? Besides, adding weight for this type of pull up is good for the session of strength?
I have no idea what you mean
@@BrianCarroll1306 i explain better … if mcgill pull up is also good for hypertrophy due to the fact you can do a lot. In addition if you practice mcgill pull up with weight is useful for building strength or optmize neural Connection?
is the dead hang with shoulder blades ‘back and down’ ? or relaxed shoulder blades ?
Hard to tell with this big guy lol. I think loose and down?
I only stopped doing them when STU told me to. I had end plate fractures and he said that pull ups aren’t helpful for compression injuries.
I’m doing them regularly now.
Esp explosive ones due to needing to contract and compress the spine even more than a regular chin
thanks for the comment, i had an inkling for a while that pull-ups irritate my back
@@BrianCarroll1306 exactly! I’m so happy that I took them time off though. I’m doing them every day now.
How many sets?
Hey legend! How much rest? Between sets of 1 or 2... Thank you so much!
10ish seconds
Depends
Thank you
I usually do normal pull ups. So does that mean McGill pull ups is used to replace the normal pull ups? Or is this just for warm ups?
It's up to you
Does he have one for dips?
I'm sure you can find a way to apply this to dips, but I have never felt the need
Can I do them pullups continuously or do 1 and stop?
not sure
What if i can only do 1
Use a band to build volume
Should i do weighted mcgill Pullup?
Probably not.
Just do them as explosively as possible. The stronger you get, the faster you do them. If you are a lightweight but very strong guy, you could try a weighted vest I guess. Wouldn't do a dip belt when going up explosively, you would be launching the plates into an area you don't want.
depends
Do you recommend using a supinated grip or chin-up the same way?
It depends on the context and goal. Can't say
Principle works with any vertical pull variation. So use them all
👏👏👏👍👍
First! Starting PL
