My reason is related to the mass of the Earth... and my own mass.

[@PrachiNadk]

hahahaha dude I laughed way too hard

[@ryanau7222]

Mine is due to Earth’s mass and my own ass.

OK, here are my personal pull up tips assuming no preexisting injury or motor deficiency. 1. Determine total body weight 2. Determine lean body weight 3. The difference is fat, water, food, waste, etc. 4. Use a pull assist machine (or bands if you must) and SUBTRACT your body fat. You now have a measure of your true strength as a function of lean mass and a basis from which to strengthen. You are NOT weak! Progress could be rapid as one typically loses fat while gaining overall strength, the two variables race towards eachother. This can be exciting for the trainee. I advise pull ups, air squats, pushups/dips every day. Not to failure or with volume ( on an off day ) but as a continuous reminder to the brain that the connection needs to be improved and recruitment maximised. The progress in the gym will encourage continued effort. See a sturdy bar? Try a pull up, even if your feet are dragging. Dead time at work? Drop for some pushups or air squats. maybe a few dips while leaning against a sturdy workbench? You get it. We adapt to environments, use yours to train. Recover! Sleep, hydrate, quality foods, did i mention sleep? Love the channel! Peace.

I think the root of 95% of form problems is that beginner's do not know what their musculoskeletal system feels like.

I have to say that I just came across this video...don't know how. I watched it. The next time I did pull-ups (assisted with a band), I remembered this video and not only were they a little easier but I actually felt it the next day in the right places, which I typically don't. So thank you :)

[@mdoyle403]

The biggest question I have is how are you not getting 10's of thousands of views, there videos are so helpful and so well done, thank you from an old fat guy in his garage gym trying to correct a lifetime of poor moment and ability

[@TheRealCartman1]

Because no one cares what some loser crossfit coach thinks! Seriously your average crossfit coach passed a 1 weekend course and know thinks they are some kind of fitness expert. Look at this guy, he looks like shit, can't even train himself to build a good, athletic physique.

[@mechanist2055]

They are a crossfit channel thats why

[@mechanist2055]

@@maffbuckley600 they dont know what a real pull up is, a crossfit pullup is nothing compared to a calisthenics pull up, there is a good reason most peopl who gym seriously either go asthetics or calisthenics

me too! waiting to get to my first pull up at 67! all my childhood ,no pull ups!! \

Nice job especially liked the seated angle pull. A lot of folks have difficulty just hanging from a bar so timed holds help develop grip strength. Coach Stone

[@joehollow2505]

You are a first person to actually explain this to me. Thank you. I have all those issues and weaknesses when trying to do pullups and chin ups. I've never did more than two. Hopefully, by the end of this year I'll finally be able to do at least 5 reps. Back when I was in HS, 20 years ago, not even my PE teacher knew how to explain it. Or perhaps didn't care to. He was also schools football coach and a head of our PE department. Popular with kids but a complete meat head and an ass.

[@dn3772]

easiest way to get first pull up is to do negatives bro. jump up to the bar and come down slow. once you can do 10 u can do 1-2 pull ups normally

[@MrCmon113]

@@dn3772 I think getting a chair or a bench or something is a better idea than jumping up. When someone can't do a single pull up, they probably can't get into a good position by jumping up.

@@MrCmon113 yeah maybe, depends on how tall they are .

[@rahulmeetei714]

start doing bodyweight and calisthenics workout.... your life will change

[@MrCmon113]

I know this is way late, but I personally prefer negatives to the rubber stuff. Firstly it's easier (if you have a bench or something), secondly it's closer to the actual lift. The force of the bands changes during the movement. Also I think CrossFit is about endurance, right?
