Excited to hear how you all get on with implementing these tips! Let me know if you have any questions. And here is the Challenge I mentioned! We are currently going through it in my Private FB Group so hope to have some of you join us! bit.ly/2Pvx8A6
Awesome video! Being inundated with fitness advice from dudes and "fitspo"-type girls, it's awesome to see some legit advice from another woman. Thanks!
I’m so glad you mention to engage and activate back muscles before the actual pull up. I’ve seen people just jump on the pull up bar with no warm up or activation.
It's so key! We often ignore the imbalances and mobility restrictions we create hunched over a computer and end up injured with intense workouts. That little bit of prep goes a long way, not only in preventing injuries, but in creating more efficient movement patterns!
@@redefiningstrengthOC Yup that's me. I tore my bicep muscle on a slow lower without warming up first. Stupid and I know better. Now it will be a bit before I can even try again. Don't do what I did! Please warm up first.
I never warm up for pullups and I can only do 7 for about a year, even though I train them 2/3 times a week just don't get better and need a 5 min rest between sets to get close to the first.😢
Glad the algorithm put this video on my home page. I'm trying to increase the volume of pull-ups I can do. This video reaffirmed that I need to warm up more before attempting pull-ups! Thanks for the tips. subscribed ☺️
You are an Amazing Coach👏👏👏..I started my Pull Ups with One Perfect Rep...Deep Breathe..20secs rest. 2 Perfect Reps...then 3 Perfect Reps...then kept repeating it... 4&5 came naturally 😆..no Bands in sight👏👏👏..thank God for Lockdown. .I might not have found Kiwi !!!
WOW!!! She is doing real pullups with out the Kip and she is going until the bottom of her neck is over the bar. She gives some excellent advice for people who have a weaker upper body like me. Sergeant Hartman would be pleased. Outstanding!!
I finally came across a video that made me realize I am weak, and I don't know what the hell I'm doing, I think I'll stick around for a while....Thank you for being here...
Thank you Cori. Your energy and knowledge inspires me to achieve a push up. I am small-built 50yo and have started to practise Push-Up from your Master video on it. Currently doing at best 45% against the wall. Was wondering if you will be releasing a 30 day challenge for women like myself who can dreaming (and working) towards doing the standard push-ups. What exercises and workout can we focus on to make our dream come true.
Another tip is once you can do a few quality pullups, adding weight and doing weighted pullups. I generally don't do high repetitions for pullups. I usually just do weighted pullups and when I went for a max, was able to hit 31 just because bodyweight pullups feel super easy when you're used to pulling double your bodyweight. Also love that you brought up tempo! It's such an overlooked exercise variable.
Hmm that doesn't work for me. I can do a one-arm pullup or a pullup with 80% of my bodyweight but after 11-15 regular pullups - it's over. My endurance is awful and adding weight didn't change it at all. I'm going to do workouts with a total of 100 pullups in a certain time in the future. Maybe this will help.
@@TeamYouphoric My understanding of eccentric training is doing negatives. You mean I should do only negative pull-ups although I can already perform a one arm pullup? Do you think that reducing the weight even further can help me build endurance? The thing is - until the 12 rep every rep is so easy for me but then - the 12th is super easy, the 13th quite hard, the 14th very hard and the 15th almost impossible.
@@Sandkasten36 you wouldn't solely focus on the eccentric portion. You would still pull yourself up, you'd just accentuate the eccentric portion. Try doing 10 sets of 10 repetitions at a 4-0-X-0 Tempo and resting 100 seconds between sets. So, pull yourself up as fast as you can and lower yourself slowly over thre course of 4 seconds. Use a metronome and set it to 60 bpm so you can't cheat on the timing.
Bought a pull up bar for lockdown, hoping to progress to 1 by the time the gym is open again but I'm finding it tough. Have been doing negatives and I have seen some improvement but I need to be more consistent. Will defo use some of these tips.
Been working on these tips and they are going well, added 1 - 2 pull ups to my Max - thank you. What about adding some weight to pull ups to fully overload the muscles, even at the loss of max reps? Like 5 or 10 kilos (11 - 22lbs)
I never knew that about the recovery period. I figured if I rested too long it would kill my intensity and my heart rate and burn, thinking it would hinder productivity and results, and repetitions. Thanks for the tips, you're helping me more than you know ❤.
So glad the tips helped! And yes, I think we often go to cutting out rest these days to make the workout FEEL more intense, forgetting that the less we rest, the more our true 100% intensity and strength dip over the course of the workout. Love breaking down the training variables so we can manipulate them to meet our needs!
It has taken me months to get from zero to three sets of three quality pullups and I've been so concerned about injuring my biceps (I'm 66). They really hurt after a workout and a severe injury will be a major setback. I will try your method. This is a very excellent video on pullups,. One of the best I've seen. Thanks.
Great video! What if one is not strong enough to properly go from the dead hang to the active hang? Any recommendations for a progression? Thx! John R.
Lots of love from India mam... Taking training from around 3months nd de best thing is I m improving myself frm ur videos... Pls do a video about chest fat mam... ❤️
I use the doorway frame pull-up bars but also don’t want to scruff up the wall so I actually wrap a towel around the top. It felt weird at first as it’s soft but once you hang and doing the pull-ups, it’s fine for me. It might work for you too!
All great tips! You can also try breathing and bracing (tighten your core and leg muscles) to plug some of the energy leaks, which should equal additional reps.
Thank you, I fall short doing pull ups so always use a resistance band, plus i am not consistent enough, plus because i can't do many pull ups it's not one of my favorites, but now i see that i need to change things, thanks again.
Consistency in our practice is definitely key if we have a specific goal. And there may just be some moves we don't really "care" about or what to improve past a certain point. BUT I do think some mastery, and strengthening our weakest links, is never a bad thing. And pull up training is good for the core soooooo...added bonus based on your goals?! ;-)
@@redefiningstrengthOC thank you, especially for the time you take to reply to everyone, I feel i am a part of this channel and sure others feel the same.
Timely information. Maybe the best YT vid on the topic. I couldn't do a single pull-up a few yrs ago and have got to five reps x 3. Will do what your recommend to increase. I do a lot of core strengthening and lifting which has helped a lot.
Thank you Rick! So have you been using the rest-pause technique? I've found that to be super key when trying to increase from 5-10. So what you could do is 10 rep cap for your first "skill work." Before your supplemental circuits, do your 5 rep max, rest 15 seconds, do another couple of reps or max with good form,. rest 15 seconds...and continue till you get that 10. That would be the skill work one day each week. I also use INTERVALS instead of reps in some of my pull up challenge workouts. So like max reps in that interval, using reps past failure to help clients build that strength endurance!
Is the pull-up challenge still available? I can't find it on your web site, and the entire macros program is beyond what I'm looking for. I'm already at my goal weight and track macros, I just want to build my upper body strength.
Thanks a lot Cori. You are fantastic. This video helps me for the fire brigade competition, we have to do tractions and for us women they are difficult. Thank you with all my heart. Greetings from Sardinia, Italy I always follow you 🇮🇹♥️
This was an awesome video! I've been looking for ways to improve my pull-up technique and train them in other ways and this video answered both :) Thanks so much for making this!
That's quality content right here :) one of the best pull up videos I have seen. I will implement these tips #coronatime so that I finally get my first few pull ups when quarantine is over
@Redefining Strength : This was inspired by your video. Picture this scene, Cori... 🐰: Hi Kiwi! What's up, Dog? 🐶: Hello Bugs! hehe, just hanging around. Have a great weekend! 😉
I have shoulder problems so I do reverse rows to build strength. Haven't done any pull ups lately because it hurts too much. Lat pull downs with elastic bands also help.
The mobility and activation work that will, in the end, improve your pull ups, will also help your shoulders. So focusing on building that foundation will only help!
If you can do them, start doing hangs from a pull up bar. These help add space in the shoulder joint for movement. Start with 20 second hangs. 3 sets. Then add 5 seconds, every other day.
I find that grabbing the pull up wider than shoulder width apart is harder for me and I think it compromises my shoulders and makes it harder to engage the back muscles. Do you think I should grab the bar at shoulder width like you do in the video?
You have an amazing back... Really trued to focus but I was just watchi g the back and looking at how the muscles engage with eachother in the movement
I always love the pull ups , unfortunately i am very weak on that. I am losing fat from 227lbs to 192 lbs after following your videos. 2 years back , when i was 170 lbs, i used to do around 4 to 5 pull ups the max. After gaining weight, i was scared to try even one pull up. After following your videos and going with the exercises learnt from you, i am gaining confidence that i can try pull ups once i lost some more lbs of weight. Thank you cori. Love you always.
I have lots of clients on their weight loss journey using different modifications to build up. And some that still have 50+ pounds achieving their first few. No reason not to work on that strength and mobility as you work toward your weight loss goals! :-)
Might be worth considering really trying to get to doing pullups and other similar back exercises, especially if you want to loose weight. More muscle means more calories burnt even if the muscle isn't worked on that particular day. Your lats are among the largest (if not the largest muscles in your body and working on your pullups will help them grow making it easier to loose weight
Hi I run a business that doesn't use a computer for more than 1 hour a day. I do however spend up to 2 hours a day driving my car. Thanks for the brilliant videos I'm a former personal trainer your videos are making me think about becoming a trainer again !
My left side takes a while to activate. I struggled with pull-ups because I used to attack the bar with my face and head. When I switched to attacking the bar with my chest, I saw results.
I have a pull up bar in my door frame, it’s higher than most but doesn’t allow me full extension of my lower body, is this a problem? I’m using a band at the moment.
We use what we have and it can work. While the leg cross behind is hated by some, it can have it's benefits and let you use the space you have. So I say as long as you can fully extend your arms, you're going to benefit!
As a. Hold I never could do a pull up. The decades have past by but I’ve taken my first step to just hang from the bar. I best yiu in 30 days I’ll be able to do my 1st pull up.
Excited to hear how you all get on with implementing these tips! Let me know if you have any questions. And here is the Challenge I mentioned! We are currently going through it in my Private FB Group so hope to have some of you join us! bit.ly/2Pvx8A6
Hi, thanks for the tips,im 50 years old man, does your program will make me do 10 pull ups from zero, because its seems fokus to women, thanks
Fantastic video! This inspires me to continue working on those pull ups. Would you recommend inverted rows for those struggling with the hang?
I'm doing 20 pullups. I'm working on muscle ups. They are hard
This programs seems to no longer exist. Sad! I'm up to four pull-ups in a row and I seem to have plateaued. I'm not sure what else to do!
Awesome video! Being inundated with fitness advice from dudes and "fitspo"-type girls, it's awesome to see some legit advice from another woman. Thanks!

Congrats on building up those push ups!
Same! I could barely do a full push up before covid lockdown, now after 2 months I can do 10
I’m working on my pull-ups too currently.
I've struggled to do push ups, I've tried everything, I just keep falling flat on my stomach. Can you help me with how you got to your first push up?
@@KainatPanjwani Check out Hybrid Calisthenics - How to do a pushup. Or something like that. Guy is awesome and super positive!
@@KainatPanjwani try incline pushups (put your hands on an elevated surface and go to lesser and lesser elevation as it gets easier)
To anyone reading this have a great day & workout.
Thank you, wish u the same

Every detail counts...from mobility to activation 😊 thank you as always for your explications and tips dear Cori 🙏🏻❣️
YES! Agreed! And sometimes those simple things add up yet we skip them because they seem "boring!"
Her:" you don't wanna look like a flapping fish while you do your pull-ups"
Me: I'd be fine with that!
I need a video on doing the FIRST pull up!!! Ciao from Italy, L
Check out my Master The Pull Up video ;-) Although the tips in this one are still SUPER key even if you use the modifications I mention.
Wisdom here. One of the best vids I’ve seen on pull-ups.
Thank you!
The 30 days pull up challenge does not exist anymore 😩
Thank you! I did my first pull-up. Now working on the volume.
I finally came across a video that made me realize I am weak, and I don't know what the hell I'm doing, I think I'll stick around for a while....Thank you for being here...
You are a really strong person!!!👍🏼👍🏻
Thanks! Always a work in progress!
