My biggest wish regarding pull ups is, I’m 6’2 and train at home with calisthenics consistently, but I only have a doorway pull up bar, I just wished my house had a high enough ceiling so that I could mount a bar high enough so that I could keep my legs completely straight & relaxed while doing my pull ups! Maybe one day🤔
I get that buddy, im not as tall but have used doorway pull up bars for so long and have my knees touch the floor it feels like it ruins it. I'm still getting used to doing full length and still keep my legs behind me so need to get out of that habit. Get yourself a freestanding one and use outside or find a local park if possible but getting to that time of year of getting cold and dark. Just do what you can buddy
They're all great, Lee! I'm currently working on the #1 and #5 more as I don't have the forearm strength to do enough pull-ups I've realized. I've been doing everything else, but neglecting those 2 and REALLY notice it now, a lot! This is definitely a great breakdown of all the points you need for strong pull-ups. Once I get those 2 mastered, I know I'll be able to bang out 10 pull-ups, as my grip is always going well before my back feels it!
That's awesome, plus having a few to really dial down on and focus on you will be able to have a plan of attack, with that attitude I can imagine 20 by end of the year 😉
@@LeeDowningKeat Thanx brother! Been rehabbing my left subscapularis, and deltoid and just forgot to continue with grip strength during the healing process. It's frustrating when I have to find certain movements or variations of exercises that don't aggravate them too much during the healing process and hanging is definitely one of them. 20 eh? I'll be super glad with 10, but 20 is the next round number to reach! hehe
We have to try and navigate injuries the best we can, i have a video this sunday showing my workout im doing right now, with weighted calisthenics and ive had to make changes due to minor injuries/niggles. it happens and we will not always get it right but as long as we try to move forward and not give up we are doing the right thing
@@LeeDowningKeat Indeed! Even one of the guys at my home gym downstairs has noticed me getting bigger, even with the injuries. All because I was using more machines/bar work with much more control/slow movement. Shirts are feeling tighter too, but still moving forward, like you said! =)
Massive Respect for the top position hold at the end. With chest to bar form it is hard as f***. Working on all of these cues, but to really squeeze the bar as hard as i can is what i probably struggle the most with. I find myself "passively gripping" so often, if that does make sense as the forearms like to eat up my focus
Most people do and it's usually their grip that gives out too so paying more attention can help plus with irradiation should make you stronger but will take time. Yes my back was aching after that set of holds as that was a few takes as well so did a few of those holds and negatives plus all the pull ups for the video, arms and back needed rest but had my usual workout the next day
What was your favourite hack?
all of them, but #3 is amazing !
