As great as all the information in this video is, my biggest takeaway is that "dramastically" should absolutely be a word.

[@TheTyphonGS]

Mayhaps.

[@startan118]

It totally needs to be a shirt 😂😂

[@monkeydjaime]

But is it something Dramatic happening Drastically? or something Drastic happenig in a Dramatic way!? :-/

[@RATM77777]

I for one really appreciate these particular videos. I have seen first hand how these cues can help beginners double the amount of reps they can do almost instantly, it made coaching the pull up so much easier. Thanks Brian.

4:40 I use this Ring Finger thing in my bench press it gives me more stability and power.

[@The513Warning]

I work in a warehouse and during down time, I'll use the forks of the forklift or the picker for some pull-ups. The slickness (?) of the forks add some added grip training too.

[@tcizzi]

Same here. You can use them for dips as well.

You have no idea how much you've helped me. And I'm not only talking about this video. You're an amazing guy and I'm 100% sure you've had a huge impact in making a lot of peoples lives better.

[@72Dexter72Manley72]

Good video. What I like to have people do is 2 minutes of dead hangs on the pullups bar. If this has to be done in 20 seconds sets, that's fine. Just get the 2 minutes in. I recommend this 3 times a week. Or every other day. Try to add 5-10 seconds to your dead hangs until you can do them for a minute set. Once you get the minute in add weight to your dead hangs and start over again. This increases your grip strength also.

[@stoicacostinluigi8564]

You are one wholesome dude, I'm learning that from you in addition to your training tips! Thanks!

The problem I have with working back is I start to develop some kind of RSI in my elbows if I do things like pull-ups regularly. Tennis or golf elbow, or both. I started to get a really weird burning sensation in the joint at one point. And it takes forever to heal or go away, so I work my back and arms fairly lightly and irregularly for fear of those chronic strain injuries coming back.

Been working these in a lot the last two weeks and was so mad I couldn't get more than 5 with 25lb's on my waste. I was kinda pissed yesterday and then decided fk it lets see what I can do for one rep. Ended up working all the way to 95 lb's for a single and it was a total game changer for morale. Point being, don't get discouraged this has been a fun process and I felt like a damn beast. Here is to everyone doing weighted pullups and getting to the 2-3 plate club.

Great tips Brian ,as usual. My current pull-up goal is a one-arm pull-up, I previously used weighted pull-ups to achieve it but plateaued at 75lbs (BW 200lbs). I recently started doing one-arm assisted pull-ups using the assisted pull-up machine (available at most commercial gyms) to try and break through that plateau. Are there any tips to getting that goal? Thanks

Why do you recommend the pullup over the chinup?

[@burner1303]

I've heard him talk a lot about how triceps are important for strength, so I'd assume that's one reason. If you want a big press or bench you need big triceps

[@kasparasv.3432]

Hey Brian, I saw your other pull up progression video where suggest doing ramping sets of 5 and 3 to increase your weighted pull up. Would you say that this is superior to doing sets across like 3x5 with a fixed weight? PS love your content, keep it up my guy.

[@ThEG933]

Anyone else noticed how his shirt went from super clean in the beginning of the video to all-out sweaty by the end lol

[@TheSuperMerc]

Does all this apply to chinups as well?

[@burner1303]

Yeah, chin ups are a type of pull up. Your grip is just reversed and so it activates different muscles differently, but you're still using the same primary muscles
