CAN'T FEEL YOUR LATS DURING PULL UPS? TRY THIS!

[@AMiNe-cz3tm]

bro i struggled 6 month trying to activate my left lat . my right lat was bigger than my left so it was activating automatically and i developed big muscle imbalance but now and thanks to u i activated my left lat for the first time so thank you very much.

[@SpoodMajin]

Same bro. How’s the imbalance now?

[@zakhariihusar6975]

The cause may be scoliosis, or some different conditions.

[@Perro_98]

SHINZO WO SASAGEYO- sorry saw your pfp

[@kingnashramos9990]

muscle imbalance is normal since our body is not perfectly symmetric i mean if your dominant hand is your right hand then your right hand is stronger and bigger than your left hand not just your hand but the whole right side of your body my right eye brow is a lot thicker than my left eyebrow same to my eyelashes also to my pubic hair and also to my muscle but if you have a extreme muscle imbalances you have a problem to your spine maybe scoliosis or any other health conditions

No one of the big youtubers ever covered this, I believe. Thats very good. You seem like a guy who REALLY knows what hes doing. I cant do a pull up (yet) but this will apply to the lat pulldown as well.

[@user-hn4en7lx7l]

Good explaining, i feel like my lats are lacking behind so i needed this.

[@ricktim8402]

Best lat tutorial ever. No bs, straight to the point and actually works! Thank you man, this really helps

[@paulvaulker5004]

I have always felt just the upper part of the lat just under my armpit, a tiny bit of muscle the day before chin ups/pull ups. I have never felt my lower lat the day after, which I suppose is what I should be feeling. I have just tried this for the first time, helping myself with squeezing the bar inwards. It is true that it pushes the elbow a little bit closer to my back. I still don't know if I am doing it correctly, but hopefully I have improved my technique a bit. I can barely do 3 like that, while previously as many as 10, using my usual technique. I still might be using too much chest throughout the movement for some reason, we will see.

[@kingnashramos9990]

i think your doing it right bro since lats is connected to tricpes in my experience i build my lats using pull up and chin up and dumbbell row for lower lats

[@WorkoutUnionPT]

Good tip! And that's the right way, because you're getting more shoulder extension and adduction, that are the 2 of 3 functions of the lats, and then having a greater contraction! Well done!

[@lukesky8531]

Bro. You and another guy on here motivated me to start weighted calisthenics. I’m not as good, but adding weight to my pull-ups and dips with volume really helped. Hopefully I’m flipping out of muscle ups within the next year. This tip helped. Have a good one.

[@richardhbocking1278]

I’m 65 years old and have gone in three months from zero pull-ups to 4 from a dead hang. But I have not been able to do more because I think I’m depending more on my biceps than my back.. That twist grip you demonstrated feels like it might be the answer to my problem. I’m going to the gym in an hour. We’ll see how it works out!

[@richardhbocking1278]

The twist grip, or as you put it, gripping as though trying to bend the bar, I think did the trick. First, the tight grip brings the upper part of the body alive. Second, the bending action forces the elbows close to the trunk which, if I’m correct, forces the shoulders down. This causes the back muscles to react by pushing up. Am I describing this accurately? At any rate, I progressed from four to five reps. The next session, six. Hoping to get seven today. My goal is to be a 65 year old who can execute 15 smooth authoritative pull-ups. Again, this video is very helpful indeed.

[@MrAmpchamp1]

Thank you for this, you just opened pandoras box for me. Sincerely appreciate you sharing that knowledge.

[@MrAmpchamp1]

You my friend...solved a 2 year puzzle for me. I have been battling movement pattern one. I have been stalled at what I consider 5 perfect pullups. The last two nights for a few minutes I worked on what you taught me. Tonight, after finishing my shift of 4X12's...I just hit 8 of the most power pull-ups I've ever felt. I will get my planche yet! Thank you so very much, I really appreciate you sharing this for all of us. Stay awesome.

[@andreycarvalho8698]

I feel a lot more contraction in the lats when I use narrow grip.

[@JackBegotti]

me too

[@TopicTide2]

Yeah, but that way your forearms are taking over

[@ymar_brazzyyy8769]

It’s depends on the person on which movement they work better for

[@jirikrumal8567]

Imo it depends much more on the body alignment than the grip width

[@Who_Does]

makes sense, wider grip would target the muscles going inward the spine which is what is shown first in this video. Narrow grip would focus on biceps, forearms, and lats more. because it's more like a vertical movement.

Can you do this for chest as well, for some reason when I use rings to work my chest for example the archer push up, chest fly, or bulgaring ring dip or pushup, I feel it more in my front delt.

So the 2nd variation is supposed to engage lats more?

[@marcoskrupiczer6595]

I got a question regarding weighted pullup technique: when performing heavy weighted pullups, it seems impossible to keep retraction at the top, (let alone focusing on driving the elbows down). Is it ok to just try to get the chin over the bar even if we lose retraction and with not the best technique?

[@MichaSchulz]

marcos krupiczer you will never see somone pulling heavy with perfect technique. Aim for the best, but sure last reps will look not perfect.

Your wall-to-wall pull up bar looks great. How much weight do you think it can hold? I'm trying to set up something similar to this in my apartment and I'd love to know what you used for this project. I've searched for similar flanges, but to no avail.

[@MichaSchulz]

I don't have it anymore as I moved. But it was self melted. 10mm steel plates and the tube was 32mm in diameter with 3mm thickness. And it was super reliable, did pulls and Ringdips with over 50kg on it with no problems.

[@hussainalsadeg8397]

[@SportifyTVofficial]

Do you have an explanation why bending the bar this way make you feel the lats more since it is external rotation and lats engage during internal rotation

[@MichaSchulz]

It preloads your rotaters and avoids excessive internal rotation which allows you to perform more arm adduction for a nice peak contraction

[@wemoveforward6413]

[@DontBeClueless514]

Any idea why with all those years doing pull ups, I still fuck up my shoulders? If I engage my back more by squeezing the shoulder blade it will reduce the pain a whole lot. If i stay my back "round" or i dont put emphasis on squeezing my blade. It hurts so fkn much in my shoulder when I force to pull up when my elbows are starting to be under my shoulder height... anyway im so pissed off rn.

[@sebc3546]

Will this help getting heavier pull ups or is this more a technique you use when going for some hypertrophy work?

[@natfraser3232]

I believe hypertrophy(by no means am I an expert) but one clue in would be when he said “mind muscle connection” since typically that’s ideal for building/working the intended muscle specifically. Though I’m sure if u focused on lats and built then the end result is being strong enough to increase weight on pull-ups.

Nah bro the main reason people don't feel lats in pullups is simply just that they have *too high* lat insertion points in their spines (in other words, their lats *don't even come close* to touching their pelvis!). Likewise higher insertion points = fibers more horizontally-oriented = less optimal (crappy) pull-angle for the lat-arm tendon (basically their lats can't pull "down" as much ☹☹☹ rather, they pull more *"in"* instead. Not what we're seeking but that's how they're anatomically built anyway just saying!!! ☹)
