Definitely the best plan and explanation for pull ups I’ve seen. Mostly I hear ‘do lat pull downs until you get strong enough,’ or ‘just do pull ups.’ But you really break it down to not only a workable plan, but explain how to activate the lats, something that’s often missing from other pull up how-to videos. Thanks

[@JamesGrage]

Daniel Clifton hey Daniel. Thank you for the awesome feedback. Yeah you’re right, doing lat pull downs will obviously help you get stronger which should translate to an improvement in your pull-ups, but the best way to get better at pull-ups is doing pull-ups. The interesting thing about lat pull downs is I see the same mistakes that people make in their pull-ups (too much biceps, and not engaging their lats)

This set comes with 5 bands of varying resistance, a storage bag, kzbin.infoUgkxS7ex6L4sMqpaTn4LnBPyBmRQsSingL8y a small pamphlet with some sample exercises, and an access code for an online workout video. I haven't viewed the online video, so I cannot speak to the quality of that piece of the set. However, everything else is perfect for what I was looking for. The bands are durable, and the resistance strength varies enough between bands that they're each useful for different exercises and provide a great challenge as you gradually increase the resistance level for certain exercises. The only band I don't use very often is the lowest resistance band, but even that is nice for exercises that target weaker/seldom used muscle groups.

[@mrgreenbudz37]

You know James you showing one of the best videos on learning to do Pull Ups out there. I for one have always sucked trying to do Pull Ups and even using a Resistance Band never worked great. I am now gonna incorporate you tutorial. Again a really thorough video explaining how to learn to do Pull Ups. Thanks a lot.

[@leighkelly2161]

After 40 odd years using barbells and dumbells (which I'm not stopping just yet) I've newly discovered just how good bands are for maintaining and even building muscle , with much less risk of injury... All your KZbin vids are a brilliant source of info and all explained in great detail. Thanks so much for posting them 👍

[@mrgreenbudz37]

Agreed, I really am excited to start applying his training for doing Pull Ups, something I have always sucked at for 30 yrs of training. sad to say :(

[@stevenjameso]

I’ve been training in gyms for over forty years and some of those earlier years competitively but in the last year I’ve been training at home . But of course when training at home you lack variety and innovation and sometimes motivation. Enter James Grage and his detailed yet simple videos. Boom! Who would of thought that you get this type of training with bands. I’m motivated! Thanks James.

[@Speckles143]

Notes 1. Active hang 3x20s 2. Scap PU 2x10 3. Lat activation with medium resistance band 2x20 >> Think of pulling your elbows down to activate lats >> Pull shoulder blades down and back >> Feel the lats 4. Isometric hold 3x10s >> mistake: body is swinging back and forth (wasted energy) >> Fix: keep core tight 5. PU negatives 3 sets (to failure) >> Count to three >> If u get to 10x 6. Assisted pull-ups

[@dudekdudek9095]

Sometimes I do 50 pullups and it lites my back / lats up !! I can do 10pulls on my 1st set but then my reps go down so it's like 10,, 8,, 6,,,5,5,,5,,5,,5,,3 reps the next day like I said my back is on fire !! Pullups definitely a bad ass workout !! I have a medium and heavy band I'm going to use them with pullups to get those extra reps !! Good stuff Thx alot

[@analyticalchick3064]

I talked to two trainers and I realized I could just figure it out from KZbin videos. I'm doing negatives with the pull up band (I'm a 170 pound female so I need the assistance). When I started, I could do two negatives per set and they were so rough. I just moved to 5 per set and I'm starting to be able to do a half of a pull up with the band of course. I have a cold, though, so I'm probably going to have to move back down to 4 reps per set for a week or so when I go back.

[@albertohs9621]

@@JamesGrage inspirational stuff!

[@ahijado86]

Great video. When I could only do 2 pullups. I bought a 3 pack of bands from Wal-Mart. (Light, medium and heavy) I'd do my 2 pullups. Then add the light band and do maybe 12 more before I was gassed. Then switched to the medium, did them til I was gassed (probably 7-8) then switched to the heavy and did them til I was gassed (maybe 4-5) then I added the light band + the heavy band and did what I could do, then the light + the medium and did what I could do, then finally used all 3 bands. Then I was done. My reps were at a modest pace as I was getting used to using those muscles. And I did slow ones. I figure as long as your form is correct you can always add or remove weight/resistance. I think some of the aspects in this video would've helped boost my numbers quicker than my method but even as someone who can now do pullups I will add some of the holds to my workout.

[@tac11717]

Brilliant, thanks. Active Pull-up. I did wonder how would get from lat pull downs to pull-up. That's it, steady progressive steps too. 😎

Resistance bands are the underdog of the lifting world. It’s all about dumbbells and barbells which believe me that’s pretty much what I use (along with cables) but I do like adding bands in to get that varying resistance

You were speaking my language...I’m working now on ring muscle ups, and although I can do 20-25 PUs, I don’t have the PU explosiveness yet for the RMU. I love your idea of using the bands instead of weight belt to add resistance to the PUs to gain explosiveness. Great tip, thank you!

Great video at a great time I am trying to get started doing pullups I could only do 3 or 4 hopefully in two months I could do at least 10

[@mietzmatz7433]

I started a few years ago, to incorporate pull ups in my workouts, after not doing them for the first years of training, what was an error. They are really good for my back development and my arms, because i do different kinds of them, that also target different parts of the arms. And i mean very clean ones and with long hangings after a set, additionally. I also started with just 3 or so in a set and then quickly 5 and then 8 to 10. I always did 30 to 60 in as much time, as i needed. After a few month, i needed 12 to 15 minutes with up to 10 per set (actually mostly in the fist set) with my bodyweight of 255 - 264 lbs. Then i dicovered pull up bands, and since then, i use a band, that takes aprox. 30 lbs off of my weight. With that, i did a 100 in approx 15 min. for a long time per workout, mostly after heavy lifting and other exercises. Nowadays, i do mostly 60 to 80 with the band as more or less the last part of my back workout. So, i think, you will get better, quickly. But in the beginning, it's hard and you need to bite through it ;).
