PLEASE VIEW WITH DISCRETION.
When describing my Pull Up bar, I meant to say it’s a LAT PULLDOWN bar.
Sorry😢

[@crispytastychicken]

Chill Hawaiian dude preaches the importance of "just hangin." Perfect.

[@lyndonjenkins2534]

I just want to say thank you man 🙏 I've suffered with bad lower back pain for well over 5yrs now. My Doctor won't send me for an MRI scan, for what ever reason, even though it's been going on for years now 🤦 Anyway, I tried the hanging motion you demonstrated and tucked my lower lumbar area forward as you stated. Hung there for as long as I could. When I got off, It was like my back pain had disappeared 🤯 Mind blown. I woke today and it had returned a little bit, but I've at least figured out a way to lessen the pain, all thanks to you man. I can't thank you enough 🙏 I will keep practising this and hopefully it fixes the issue I've had for the past 5yrs. Great video also BTW, you the man 😎🫶

[@HerbysHanz]

🙋🏻‍♂️. Also look into foods like dairy that might be doing that to you. Also high carb foods too. Do you get constipated regularly? Do u sleep on your tummy? Do you / have you bicycled a lot? 🙏

[@BornFreeFilms]

Awesome. I am in 70's. Just started doing pullups, chinups, pushups and planks, deep squats, and more. I have a 14' fiberglass ladder leaning against my roof to do my pullups on. I started watching this and went out and tried the grip you had and decided I needed to do it when I was fresh. lol

[@Mac_Fleetwood]

That ladder idea is great!

[@oriohoodlum]

Honestly just clicked this in passing and glad I did! Very articulate explanation

[@Cphmtbdads]

Me too. Love his vibe and aura.

[@Sergiuss555]

Same thing. Subscribed to this guy.

[@francist.9109]

You rock. Such great instructional value. The hollow body is super key for me / my body specifications. Really appreciate your demos. Lots of great info.

[@nexamax]

For over 40 years between gymnastics, parallel bars, rings, to the U.S. Marine Corps, I have been preaching the benefits of hanging to not only support the body weight, but also to build endurance supporting the body weight, particularly for the future purpose of doing 20-30-40 pullups... it takes at least a couple of minutes to accomplish; and my favorite... strengthen hand grips. Calibrated at 195+ lbs of hand strength at 55 and an arnis practitioner, your advices are SPOT ON...! 👍🏻 BTW: I just bought a pair of your Vivobarefoot Decon FG2 as a minimalist runner I look forward to walking around town without looking like a dork 😂

[@jamesleo2299]

That motivated me to get back to it i could bust out 30 no problem before devastating shoulder injury that tore the tendons off the bone. Ive worked out all my life could do anything until now at 73 Thank you friend.

[@dancassidy7471]

AT 73 IM STILL DOING 15 PULL UPS

First time I have seen this gentlemen, learned so much in just a few minutes. He's great. Thank you🙏

[@fitprohawaii]

Thank you 🙏🏻 I hope it was helpful. Aloha🌴

[@SherylSquirrell]

@@fitprohawaii it truly was thank you. I'm 52 and have been training for years, however those little nuances in hanging were priceless. Your explanations are great. Subscribed! 💪🙏

[@devinpunsalan7863]

thank you bill, your videos always inspire me to continue and become the best version of myself even when times are tough ❤️

Love your style and articulation. First time I watch a video from you, and had to instantly subscribe. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@Jayes_32]

You would be a great mentor / coach, it’s good to see someone so invested in their craft and able to give articulate descriptions! Keep up the good work sir!

[@fitprohawaii]

Thank you, and I appreciate your words. Much aloha 🤜🤛

@@fitprohawaiiaren’t you a retired fitness coach actually? Anyway awesome stuff!

[@Holdonjustoneminute]

He mentions in this video he has clients, so I think he does personal training, he gives advice like he does it for a living.

[@e.danielarey5118]

Wonderful rhythm and authenticity to your videos, Bill. Your carefully worded, thoughtful explanations are kind of like a sort of mantra or meditation. I can’t explain it, but after watching you, I am always inspired, but also relaxed. Amazing style! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and challenges. We are all human, and some of us like me, as we get older, need to adjust our tactics to keep staying fit as the body’s mechanisms shift and age. Pleasure to watch and take notes. Thank you for your generous insights and time.

[@intrepidapollo]

I’m only halfway through watching this video, and his explanation of the fingers/grip/strengthening muscles to be used in pull-ups - has blown my mind. I’ve never seen anyone so effectively detail all the ancillary aspects of the process. I’m stunned. Thank you for this.🤙

[@fitprohawaii]

I’m happy it was helpful to you. Thank you for watching🙏🏻

Literally nice hanging out with you. The grip adjustment advice and tale bone tuck is much appreciated.

[@andersonmaldonado5152]

I am proud of u..I did that work up and it does work no doubt. I just turn 58 yesterday and is good to feel strong. U got pretty good techniques in ur work up..thanks to share ur amazing techniques

[@perry_123]

Your awesome,thanks for the tips on hanging and pullups.....Mechanics and form thats how we build strength...Thank you

[@michaelherron4306]

You’re a wise man. I just turned 51, so many years experience but good to see how you do it.

[@TruthSeekerWarrior]

What I noticed once you tucked your pelvis under was how it engaged your core immediately, unlike when your back was arched. No wonder tilting pelvis under tires you out more quickly. Thanks for the detailed explanation & demo. Blessings 🤍 🕊

[@o______-]

i was totally splaying my legs without even noticing, thank-you for showing us noobs how its done! much love from Canada.

[@808kea808]

Keep up the good work! First time I see a full video. Usually come across your shorts

[@Thou-Art_Objective-Rock]

Thank you for your down to earth spirit and technical experience. You are an awesome human being. God bless you sir.

[@davejones3878]

Thank you bud! I used to avoid pullups since they're so friggin hard. Been doing them regularly for past year and half and still friggin hard but have built my upper body solid!!! Will never stop!

[@user-jv7zp9sc8q]

" I hang until I'm reasonably tired and then I just rest that builds trust between your body and yourself and it allows your nervous system to allow you to return to the activities sooner ".. Love this man, humble and honest. I used to push myself too much while being 52 years old, I've learn this now and will not do it again.

[@ashleyfernandes6448]

OmG I just discovered a gem. What a dude. Just straight up honest and badass.

[@argirot]

Stumbled into this, inspired and subscribed. Thanks you for the motivation and thorough explanation of technique. 5 second hangs at 62 years old, just starting

[@erickbodom10v312]

One take, brilliant. Perfect timing as I have been going to sometime just hang or do a pull up or two. Was wanting to focus on my form and execution. Thanks for the advice

[@naturalbornnerd3430]

Such a simple action yet still needs a technique explanation. Great video. I learned a couple things, such as the grip and lower body positioning. Thanks!

[@jls769597]

I absolutely fell in love with your voice, your extremely precise description of each movement, and your very calm cool collected down to earth chill pace. I really felt connected to each thing you said. I subscribed immediately and am looking forward to trying out what you shared in this video. Many thanks to you for sharing this! Incredibly appreciative of you. 🙏🙏🙏👍👌

[@stivunnikolov5941]

Dude, that kind of set-up with the bar is genius in terms of symmetry. Genius. I love it. This shows that you can learn smt endlessly without knowing the full picture. The first and only good thing of Instagram is that you video here was promoted to me. Love it. I will carry this forever.

[@heathermunoz6282]

I love hanging and pull ups. Very therapeutic. Thank you for the tips! Btw, enjoy his voice!

[@artsyone1]

This guy is ripped! Love it. Very inspirational, especially for us over 50 folks!

[@jolox.]

I have a flowering cherry tree with a branch that is perfect and have recently started hanging and attempting to do pullups! It really helps when there is a full moon! Thanks for the inspirational video!

[@atpjoker6492]

Love your channel! I've never seen somebody so intelligent with working out and especially with calisthenics! Very motivational to see you at your age and how ripped you are still.

[@georgehernandez9282]

This guy is giving so much knowledge. Mahalo

[@FathomFrequency]

Great breakdown! I like to hang laterally too. To strengthen/condition lats and obliques to pull into the abdominal for stability. (Hanging off of toes). Thank you for the structural lesson...having the foot pivot there is a great balancer...

[@martincomber4358]

Powerful coaching from experience, love it!

[@matthewvanselow1979]

Thank you for posting this video. I enjoyed watching you and learning from you.

[@henkverhaeren3759]

Thanks for the insightful lesson. Real body and mind connection.

[@JesusISdaonlyway]

Clicked on this to watch and listen as I did pull-ups. I took occasion to try some of the things you mentioned. Going forward, this may be part of my rest day stretching routine. This was a great intro to your channel. Subbed! I'll be digging into the content!

[@LOGAN77000]

Wonderful advices ! I loved pull-ups but in getting older (i'm 53) and after one shoulder operation, i have to admit it is much more difficult and painful than before... I try with some elastics now, it helps a lot ! Thanks again, you have great physic !💪😎👍

[@Knubbelbubbelbubbel]

Thank you so much. I have been ruining my hands for the past year and really not seen any progress in the grip strength/hanging department. Will try to incorporate that detail now.

[@ivohanza8926]

Awesome suggestions that I hadn't even considered before. I will definitely adopt some of those tips

[@fitprohawaii]

Thank you 🙏🏻 I hope they’re helpful. Aloha🤜🤛

Thank you bro. I go hard too often. These tips helped out on days I still want to sprint but must lay low and be wise. 🌺😎🤙

[@racheldelfin342]

Thanks for sharing this information. Thank you also for your honesty, younger folks don't realize that as the body matures some exercises just get difficult for no reason 😮. Been doing push ups for years, missed a week and found myself unable to do one. It's getting better though but real work 😮😂

[@stvm]

The point about building trust between your body and your self… I love that framing. A lesson that took me a long time to realize and I’m still learning. You beat yourself to a pulp every gym session, then you wonder why you’re not motivated to go after a while! Your approach is great and a breath of fresh air. Keep it up

[@sheila704]

Great explanation. It makes the work safer to perform and more effective

Man I watched every second and I learnt so much about the way I orient and contort my body incorrectly to compensate for weakness. Today we surrender and choose the hard way always. Awareness is king. Thank you for everything you do🏆

When I think about pull up, this gentleman is my définition of it, a true Master in my opinion

[@penclaw]

Your torso speaks for itself, i sense great strength 👍

[@cultofcrypto6724]

Amazing explanation. I learned a lot here, especially about the grip.

[@oedalis]

What you said about building trust between myself and my body has changed how I see exercise---and how I will do it going forward! I have been having a tough time possibly trying to do too much in my workouts, needing to take lots of breaks, feeling bad about it, and skipping workouts because I can't make myself do it without understanding why. Thank you for articulating that, I'm looking forward to having a better relationship with exercise and fitness.

[@michaelwelsh9700]

Been doing pull-ups for 15 years. My all time PR of full lockout pull-ups is 36. I never once hanged with just my fingers. Looking forward to incorporating this for some more forearm strength!

[@fazilm1]

Great video. I am still in the hanging phase. Now I understand why my fingers hurt so much. Thank you.

[@Mannetjie007]

Great explanation. Easy to follow and inspiring, thanks.

[@justinsabaj6349]

Thanks for the point about grip technique. My forearms are burning. Much appreciated!

[@BlazerNA]

You explain hanging in a very clear, precise way-very differently from the conventional explanations given by most. Keep it up brother!

[@fitprohawaii]

I appreciate you watching that far😂 Aloha🤜🤛

[@andrewconnor4429]

Im a guitarist so the minutae about how to grip and hang is very helpful. I sold my punching bag i dont play around with my hand tendons. The way you explained how the callous pinching how wrapping makes it harder. Yeah i needed this. I need to strengthen my hands without stiffening them or i wont be able to play bach so good. I used to do bricklaying so i know what its like to have issues. Love the bar man, never seen that, buying one now, been trying your halo reverse lunge thing super cool. Bless you and yours

[@enredigjavlasmorgastarta3972]

Wow man, you're really an inspiration for me as a 27 year old guy. Thank you!

[@nick0780]

Hanging fixed my shoulder pain from decades of bench pressing. Hanging is so underrated.

[@FranciscoNogueira]

Yep... For over 3 months I had my right shoulder hurting quite a lot to the point I couldn't do some basic stuff and from another channel I started trying hanging. In a week it started hurting less and less and now, just today, for the first time in 3 months it doesn't hurt anymore. I can still find the pain if I want to but, for the most part, it's back in business. My KZbin feed got me to this channel and I confess... Loved the rithm of it. It's quite refreshing watching someone taking his time to get the message through. In an era whete every youtuber speaks like they ate on cocain, this, on the other hand, feels like a balsam. Kudos.

[@jamesanthony8234]

Appreciate how you explain everything precisely in a very scientific manner, i used to get callus all the time from the pullup bar. Love from Australia.

Tons of useful info. And awesome physics 💪

[@patrickroach7688]

Bill, I'm picking up on your calmly focused method used during movements that gives a sense of relaxation for your approach to your training. I have modified my training routines more toward relaxercise for a few years now, and my post workouts are mostly free from the usual soreness as a result. Gradual, controlled movement is always safer, and it's more beneficial and productive.

[@anonymousf7byyj]

Very informative, thank you. I used to be able to do 20 pull ups but at those high reps I ended up tearing something in the lats up by the armpit, not a major tear thankfully but I couldn’t do pulling movements including deadlifts for a few months. That was over 10 years ago and now as an older lifter I do them for sets of 6 but don’t worry about progressing too much. Not sure if you have similar reasoning.
