I highly recommend the resistance bands! After a an accident that completely destroyed my arm years ago, I couldn’t do a single pull-up, not even a push-up. Started with the thick resistance band in January, went to a thinner one in February and in March I was able to do 3-4 in a row without resistance. As someone who almost lost an arm and didn’t do any sports until Corona came, that’s quite the progress for me. Keep the videos coming!

[@mrtwister419]

The “old school” mentality of getting your chin up and over the bar and extending entirely at the bottom is what avoids a lack of mobility and weak scapula. Calisthenics Movement has some really good explanations on why the full range of motion during pull ups is important. These do look like a really good way to work out the lats, but there’s more than those which should be working during a pull up.

[@ethanr2738]

This is a great point and everything you said is completely correct…. But if you are just training to get bigger, more aesthetic muscles a complete full range of motion on pull ups is not needed. If you are train for performance though you should definitely go full range

[@VelocityZero]

This for beginners to adopt the muscle that is necessary for pull ups (alt though he didn't really touch upon how your core is actually really important for it too). Once you're on your way you can adapt your training for your needs, be performance, Cali or just pure esthetic growth. Bands are awesome, I've used them and got amazing results.

Good stuff. As a 60 year old guy who went from being able to do 1 push-up to now hovering around 8-10 in a row (and this is really a newbie move), do 2 things: 1) start out by just hanging on the bar and doing down move only and start to build those muscles and 2) use a chair initially under your feet but only use it when you need it. After I did all that for a few weeks, I got to the stage where I can now do full pull-ups 8-10 of them and one of the best exercises but careful, cuz also one of the quickest ways to get injured.

I learned something about what I've been doing wrong in the first like minute, I do pullups a while and then start having issues with lower bicep and upper forearm pain. I stop with the pullups and focus heavy on my weight lifting stuff and the pain eventually goes away. After watching this I can see what Im doing wrong and maybe get back into building my pullups without messing my damn arms up like that. Great video!

[@busybusiness4]

I been doing pull ups for years but it wasn't until I started doing a lot and leaned back (trying to build up to a muscle up) is when I started having elbow/forearm pain. The most common problem is actually the grip. If your fingers cannot stay all the way around glued to the bar, then stop.. If your hand opens up some, stop. Focus on additional grip and wrist exercises at the end of the work out. I do towel pull ups and hangs try to flex or bend your wrist as much as you can. Hangs on the bar while doing leg raises (heel to ceiling.) Mostly believe it or not dump bells seated deep in your palms, a set palms facing up and a set palms facing down. Focus on flexing those wrist. Also another video said to do under hand bicept curls (palms facing down not up like most curls), I do those sometimes but mostly I think when I started doing more grip and wrist exercises the pain went a away and my reps increased with better for . Wrist and grip is usually weakest link.

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

[@sulla1537]

Going “back” is exactly what I felt when I changed up my technique and it didn’t take long to feel the burn, wow. A good way to help them engage too is high reps with a medium to heavy band assist; you can’t go too fast otherwise the entire exercise is thrown out of sync. Other than that a favorite lat exercise is deadlifting with horizontal band resistance to force lat contraction while keeping the bar close.

[@drmitofit2673]

I am 60 years old and restarted my pull up and push up workout in retirement, 3 months ago. At first I could only do 3 pull ups in good form. Now I can do 30 in a row! I also restarted my bicycling hill repeat training, lost 13 lbs and got my BMI down from 25 to 23.1. Although I can do 30 reps whether palms facing away or palms facing me, I prefer using the perpendicular shoulder width grips on my cheap doorway pull up bar as I feel this more neutral grip allows good mechanical advantage for the biceps, lats, and forearm grip. It is important to do complementary exercise , i.e. push ups (super sets) for muscle balance. Since push ups are easier, I add resistance and range of motion to the push ups with feet elevated on a bench and push up stands, for the same number of reps as my pull ups. I only do this work out every other day since at 50+ years one needs more recovery time and you are only really building muscle on the off days. Currently doing 30 pull ups, 30 feet raised push ups, 28 pull ups, 28 feet raised push ups, and then crossed ring planked rows (archery specific to increase my draw weight), with only brief rest in between sets, then repeat once. I feel like a 3rd set of pull ups and push ups would be too painful and risk tendonitis at my age. At age 50, I got up to 35 pull ups with a higher volume super set decrementing reps work out with many sets, but it got to be a painful chore and I could feel it in the biceps tendons. I think my current workout is safer, less time consuming, and more sustainable and have no desire to go above 30 reps. I think the key to breaking through from 20 to 30 reps is cardio as it becomes more of a slow twitch aerobic blood flow limitation to delay fatigue, rather than pure strength. You have to breath deeply and draw in lots of oxygen with each rep, even the early easy ones. Plus, the blood flow has to work against gravity to go from your heart to your forearms when doing pull ups. That is why I exercise on the bike using intense hill repeats where I attack the hills out of the saddle breathing really hard and deeply. It's all about VO2Max, cardiac output, and mitochondrial energy. Intense exercise multiplies your mitochondria, which generate your ATP energy. My work out doesn't make me a gym mass monster, but it does provide optimal health fitness and fantastic endurance/fatigue resistance for chores like mowing/raking the entire yard or shoveling snow. For more about mitochondria in fitness, check out champion cyclist Greg LeMond's "The Science of Fitness". His VO2 Max was one of the highest ever recorded.

[@elijahharrer1481]

from 3 pull ups to 30 in 3 months, stop the cap my guy

[@drmitofit2673]

Not lying. Couple things I didn’t mention though: I am an MD who knows something about human physiology, I wrote a fitness book with Greg LeMond the champion cyclist “The Science of Fitness” that explains the cellular biology of HIIT, 9 years before when exercising regularly I got up to 35 pull ups in a row so I did not start at zero muscle, I had stopped exercising due to work stress and the Pandemic and got seriously out of shape (only 3 pull ups was a low point), doing as many as you can as fast as you can becomes more cardio than brute strength and I am big into intense bicycling cardio, in the process I lost 16 lbs and only weight 158 lbs so I am not a 250 huge power lifter, I simplified to single sets every other day to maintain but still go to failure with every set I do, and you won’t like hearing this but I am still having natural gains with arm growth and now personal best is 43 pull ups in a row if I eat two beet chews before the workout which increase blood flow (some days only get to 40). Seems to show that going to failure spurs gains. That is the main theory of our book, since high intensity interval training triggers mitochondrial biogenesis.

In the video he pumped out a day ago, Jeff lifted 405 for one rep and you could see that it was his max. He literally jerked the weight off the ground, legit jerked and pulled, absolutely horrible form. So yeah, Jeff had been using fake weights for the longest of time, the 495 for two was fake, his real strength is 405 for one. Guy's weak, after all these years a 405 deadlift?

@@vikassm really? You gotta be kidding man😂 "his strength isn't at its peak" bro he literally lifted 495 a year and half ago. Your numbers don't go down that fast even with the age factor considered. That's 90 pounds down for his 1RM. I would've belubednit if it was some sedentary couch potato but come on this is Jeff we're talking about. Guy works out solid 4-5 times a week. Even if he deadlifted just once every two months his 1rm wouldn't go down that bad. Plus look at that previous video, he pulled 495 for two reps with good form and still looked like he could go one more, which means his 1rm would've been around early 500s. You're telling me he lost over 100 pounds of strength in a year? Come on those weights were obviously fake😂 but hell I'll even give him the benefit of doubt and take his deadlift seriously. What about his skill crushers? He was doing 135lbs skull crushers in a video 😭 you can find that video under Phillion's channel linked. 135lb skull crushers for reps with perfect form come on Jesus I remember Ronnie Coleman doing 135 lb skull crushers 😂 you telling me Jeff is as strong as Ronnie? Ronnie could squat 800lbs for reps, so no Jeff isn't as strong. So no way he could do skull crushers perfectly for reps with that weight. There's wayyy too much evidence man. I'd been following need for a long time but I came to realise he's a good conditioning and athleticism coachz but not a good strength coach. It is what it is. The fact that he keeps avoiding the matter only gives rise to more haters. Look at Jeremy ethier. Greg called him out on making a shitty video and my boy really took it down, apologized and made a new video and even made fun of himself in the video. That's what earns respect. I just hope Jeff has learnt his lesson and would stop believing in his own hype.

@@milindkunwar4505 year and half ago? Which video are you referring to? The video everybody is showing involving the 495 deadlift was from 5 years ago

[@ito6220]

From my experience the best way to learn pull ups is starting with lat pull downs and working on weight u can rep for atleast 10 reps. Do that for 5 sets and be consistent like atleast 3 times a week and within 2 weeks you'll be confident enough to try regular pull ups. Lat pull downs help to build your lateral muscles without putting great strain on them. Good luck brothers 👍

[@precisionmovement]

Helpful content + consistent work by you = pull-ups in 11-21 days; the evidence for this methodology is compelling. Have a pull up bar installed near a regular "habit" you currently have....mine is the log shed. Do 3-5 reps EVERY time you grab logs, empty the bin, switch on the kettle etc. Don't wait for motivation and tomorrow - all you need is commitment and consistency. Do it now otherwise today will be yesterday tomorrow! I send my patients to this channel for succinct, effective workout advice.

[@FlagnarBoobz]

depends on your shoulder mobility and if its comfortable. similarly with behind the neck shoulder press - if you have the mobility then its no problem

[@canadiansensei]

No, it’s essentially the same movement as a facepull with a cable attachment. When done with proper technique (his looks excellent IMO), it’s actually one of the top exercises you can do for your shoulder girdle and overall posture. If you’re unfamiliar with this exercise, it may be wise to become familiar with the facepull movement in order to get a feel for the pathway.

[@fuzzypants7426]

To get the most out of it yes

[@ChrisZona23]

What I don’t like is that you aren’t taking your lats anywhere near close to their full range of motion. Full range would be like you are trying to touch your elbows behind the lower part of your back. Edit: you’re doing a good job of putting your lats in a good position to fire and take the load but at the cost of literally doing half reps

[@NinjaKing878]

I must admit that I have neglected pull ups for decades but decided to start about 6 months ago and KABOOM my back has blown up! I started with the machine and focused on strengthening weak muscles and connective tissue and now using bands. Making the mind nuro/muscle connection took some time but well worth the pre-hab!

[@forrestdisney2698]

Well the video is on pull ups, not chin ups. So that’s the first obstacle

[@2jz-boi]

@@forrestdisney2698 chin ups are very similar and slightly easier

[@2jz-boi]

do 4 sets of negatives or weighted negatives every other day, after a week try and do a pull up, if you can't do one then spend another week doing negatives. Then you should move on to sets of resistance band chin ups, do this for another 1-2 weeks and then you should be able to do a few chin ups unassisted. From here do 3 sets of 8 every other day. Do as many of the 8 reps as you can unassisted and finish the set with resistance band if you have to. Eventually you will be able to do 3x8 unassisted. Work your way up to 3x10, then 3x12 and then you can consider adding weight.

[@billcampbell1627]

Excellent. I'm 71 and been lifting and working out 4 days a week since I was 16. I just went through shoulder surgery for some arthritis and a bone spur in my left shoulder. Back to working out now. Surgeon said he sees a lot of heavy lifters doing close grip pulldowns. So I would limit myself to the exercises just like you showed. Pulling heavy close grip to chin on machine seems to put a lot of wear and tear on ac joint.

[@danielpowers2191]

I’ll take FitnessFAQ’s advice.

[@marcuspasa]

[@tonyreyes1076]

[@jibpepper267]

Daniel Powers different purposes

[@lambiii_01]

Ok so all the pull ups he showed can be done with full range of motion instead of half reps like he did. You may not be strong enough to do them with full range but that’s way you do normal pull up’s with the chin over the bar first. Then you progress to having chest more and more close to the bar. Then you can do different variations of this.
