  • The Pull-Up might just be the greatest exercise for your back but EVERYONE sucks at them! Pull-ups are easy if you just follow these 3 tips!
    Grip:
    If you can’t reach the bar because you are short and try and jump and barely hold on with a weak grip, you are setting yourself up for failure. If you need to, grab a box or something to lift yourself up.
    Don’t take a super wide grip, something more shoulder width. If you like wrapping your thumbs around the bar try it, if you don’t no thumbs-wrapped is fine.
    Engaging your lats:
    When you do a pull-up you need to make sure that you are engaging your lats. You can do this by externally rotating your hands and really engaging your lats. Think about pulling your shoulder blades down and chest up!
    Core: Creating lower body tension could be the key to making sure your pull ups are working. When you do a pull up, make sure to engage your core, tense your lower body, squeeze your glutes, and then do a pull up. Don’t cross your feet and use momentum!

    1) Make sure to fully grab the bar (a little wider than shoulder width + wrap your thumb)
    *don’t cross your feet
    2) shoulder blades down + chest up (engage lats)
    3) squeeze glutes and brace core
    *kill momentum, do not swing
    4) Exhale when going up and inhale going down
    5) Control your body while coming down
    6) Make sure to do the full range of motion

    Great video. Couldn’t help noticing how he says he prefers to wrap his thumbs around the bar, but with every demonstration he kept his thumbs behind the bar. 🤔. I prefer a hook grip with straps myself. I want to concentrate on using my back, and I find it easier if I can keep my forearms out of it.

    When I doing pullup when I get down should I dead/passive hang then depress my scapulas then do another rep or I shouldn't go to a dead/passing hang and keep my scapulas depressed??I am confused because people say you must do full range of motion but at the same time they say dead or passive hang isn't that good.

    @Pim3211 5 лет назад

    Who thought this was not (entirely) well executed. Explanation was clear enough though! 😊
    Can you explain why you're not pulling up higher (chest touching the bar) Because to me it seems that you fail at properly executing scapula retraction and lack strength in your posterior deltoids in the top part of the movement.
    Like you said, we are working our entire body. Everything is under tension. But you are not achieving full ROM in my humble opinion.
    Cheers!

    With the grip you recommended wrapping the thumbs underneath and around the bar but in your execution your thumbs were not wrap around. And if you doing pull ups as a major compound movement then it's not advisable to the it everyday. 3 days a week should be sufficient if you using it a major compound movement as you've explained.

      Most people can do more chin ups than pull ups. Chin ups are more bicep dominate than pulls up. The culprit may be the brachioradialis as shown here: ruclips.net/video/SfGNjYogpiE/видео.html @ 1:30 .You can try inverted rows or neutral grip (palms facing each other) pull ups

      @@stevewatkin6910 Get a bench or chair, jump to the top of the pull bar. Hold for .5-1 second and then slowly lower yourself under control until a dead hang. Hold for 1 second and then drop off. Repeat 8x through on first day. Slowly workup in sets. You will be hella sore after the first day.
      After you can do 3 sets like this, where you can hold the top for a solid second or more perfectly still and lower in like 3-5 seconds, you'll have ample strength to start doing full range body weight pull ups.
      Doing this instead of bands or a machine also helps teach you the body the correct movement pattern that can get thrown off with machines or bands.
      Good luck. Report back in a month or so and let us know how you're doing.
