Her Pull-Up Tips Are GOLD!🤩

[@SquatUniversity]

Shout out @jumyiaa.a for the opening stitched video & @muscleandmotion for the amazing anatomy graphics.

[@svsnkr174]

Even though I can rake in some 4-5 clean neutral pull ups, I struggle with wide pull ups, hardly 2-3 clean ones. Why this difference? Does these two engage different muscles?

[@userunknown1578]

Jackknife pull-ups are the most underrated pull-up progression... Everyone is always jumping straight to negatives despite having horrible scapular strength/control.

I'm 40 years old, can do 55 pushups without stopping, and 2 pull-ups. I've been watching so many videos and seen a million tips. Just got a pull down machine to try and increase my pull-ups. I can just start to feel my lats engaging but I'm going to add these to my routine

[@patrickcheesman]

So basically lean back a little when pulling up?

[@tmn_night8748]

Yes

[@UHaulShorts]

Less strain on da armz

[@lil_shrimp6404]

Not that simple but almost. Focus on sticking your chest out and focusing on that area in the green and it'll help

[@sqb8980]

Also focus on initiating the movement from your lats not just trying to pull the bar down

[@canuke]

Pay close attention to the dude changing his shoulder position (right after the young woman). See how he pulls his lats down and rolls his shoulders back, getting himself into external rotation? That’s the critical part of your start position. It sets you up for the proper pulling technique that will automatically get your chest leading the way up. Don’t have good external shoulder rotation? Watch more clips from this channel to improve shoulder mobility and strengthen the smaller muscles in that area and everything will work more smoothly. You’ve got this!👊

[@Darkmagician84]

I actually couldnt do a single pull up my entire life until I was like 28 years old , then I went to a Crossfit gym where the coach taught me that same thing to "pull the bar towards you". I thought I had to pull myself up with my arms the entire time. It took me a while to understand but now I can do like 14-15 pull ups.

[@Kira45874]

I’m so confused I can do like 10 with really good form but I always think about pulling myself up 😭

[@TheNagroth]

It just depends on what muscles you're trying to work.

[@gzus1482]

Crosshit? Do flop around while doing those 14-15 pull ups? Cus those don't count. 😂😂😂

[@Darkmagician84]

@@gzus1482 you mean butterfly pullups? I cant do any of those, it's actually a lot harder than you think. Strict pullups though, all the way chin over bar and then back all the way down with arms locked out and without moving my legs or hips I can only do about 14-15. Butterfly pullups are almost never trained, it's mostly for competitions.

[@rbreland41]

I open YT while eating breakfast getting ready for back day, and this is the 1st thing I see. Preciate it 💯 Happy New Year y'all

[@petitpoulpe2435]

FVCK YEA MAN !!!! I was doing it wrong! Cant wait to get up tomorrow and try this. 2025 is my pull up year. I WILL DO THIS SHIT

[@robo__cop8154]

realized this cue on my own in the gym ,plus incorporated lat pulldowns with the same cue to inc. hypertrophy for muscles involved in pullups and chinups it really helps

[@tiffanypersaud3518]

That lady looked so effortless❤.

[@AZtheHippie-jq3ve]

YESSSS IT FEELS INFINITELY BETTER

[@granadashealingtouch730]

Happy New Year! Thank you so much, just what I NEEDED!!

[@MyCharleyhorse]

This is information that's worth its weight in gold. Thanks!

[@deadpurplestar6302]

love ur channel!

[@TheDudeGuyBroManPerson]

I'm a fan of using resistance bands for progression because even though it reduces the difficulty of the stretched position, it trains full ROM and translates better to the actual movement. I do like that regression for practicing chest to bar technique though.

[@kasondaleigh]

I have NEVER been able to do even 1 pull up. I’ll try this. Fun!

[@alwayslearningtech]

I've been seeing an exercise physiologist for about 4.5 months. I've never had visible muscles anywhere on my body, and have had chronic upper middle back pain for about 15 years. He's had me working out my back muscles with good form, as well as many other exercises over this time. Today was the first day that I took a video of my back muscles when flexing, and damn, I was impressed with the muscles. My daughter taped the video for me and was so happy to see me smile at the footage. I recently also beat my 2 gym junkie siblings and my dad in arm wrestling which I thought would never happen because they're jacked compared to me. Back muscles are really important.

[@NoneYa-u4l]

I love ur tips that u share. Thank you❤

[@smcd5772]

Note that an individual's mobility limitations may not permit them to actually touch their sternum to the bar. But the same focus should remain.

[@SofiaCiranni]

Think about “bending the bar” changed my game

[@nattywho]

Love it and that jack knife pull looks harder than the full version…JS!!

[@WhaleBlueberry]

Very Accurate💯

[@grannysweet]

Nicely done ✅

[@georgeharper8865]

The best way I learned to engage those lats was to try to pull yourself up without bending your arms. Seems silly but that worked for me.

[@petitpoulpe2435]

Sorry...but ..how?!?

[@cryptonic799]

I don’t even consider the bar. I just focus on bringing my elbow behind me.

[@PaulGrey-jw8hm]

This is what I do, end up at like a 35 degrees angle and my arms shake like chicken wings from tension 😂

[@Distrusted_Citizen]

Jackknife pull-ups are goated.

[@GentlemanQ]

I've been so mad that i still can't do pull ups (but can do chin-ups) but then just an hour ago after watching this, it actually worked!!!!??? Are you sure this isn't some cheap cheating?

[@michaelmaier7262]

Where was this dude when I needed a gym teacher in high school who knew how to explain things????

[@calmdown9094]

"the trick to lifting 100lbs is just being able to lift 200lbs first and then 100lbs is easy"

[@znothingfacez5681]

I've always been able to do pull-ups. I rarely do pull-ups, and I can still bust out 15 with ease.

[@yinyangsaladgang8789]

Yeah I never train legs but I can squat 300 for reps. Impressed yet? Thought so. (Totally not bragging or lying btw)

[@p.hilten]

@@yinyangsaladgang8789 Both of you could probably kill me without twitching a muscle

[@Krishna-q8t5n]

I have been doing this wrong.... my entire life... i thought why i feel it in my shoulder 😂

[@luisinha23]

So, for someone who's trying to achieve her first pull up this year, what is the best progression you advise?

[@n3rdst0rm]

Why the fuck did i not learn this in gym class????

[@whoisthebossimtheboss]

Thank you

[@chrisknight2427]

What happens when you do either at separate times?

[@srich28]

Game changer!!!!

[@pipo3876]

I do it too much. I end up keeping my upper arms too much in front . I only pull myself to the bar at the top .

[@danielhowell167]

Is there an equivalent intention for push ups?

[@jehorigby8778]

Yes and no Slow, strict form, military style, no bouncing. Two seconds down, pause, one second up, grab a ticking clock to check speed. You want to get comfortable in the bottom position where gains are most noticeable Learn to control your shoulder blades, moving them up and down your back, then close and far from your spine. With *stable lats* your palms feel FAR stronger, with better balance

[@Champion2901]

Even for that you need some strength and I don't even have that😂

[@mleet3125]

Unless I'm still getting it wrong, and I don't think I was, I still can't do a pull up :'(

[@cryptonic799]

Lose weight, and work on negatives; step up into a pull-up and lower yourself very controlled and slowly. Once you can lower yourself slowly 8-12 times, you can probably do 1 pull-up. Then do as many pull-ups as you can (might be 1) then focus on the negatives again. After a while, you’ll be doing pull-ups. If youre having issues with forearms or scapula instead, then work in some dead hangs and scapula pull-ups (pull-ups were you just focus on bringing your rotator cuff/scapula into position for pull-up)

[@cryptonic799]

Either way, just keep trying to do pull-ups and you’ll get it eventually 😊 dont give up

[@yinyangsaladgang8789]

And when you're doing pushups, you're not supposed to push yourself up, you're supposed to push the ground away from you 🤯

[@Ilmatorjuntapanssarivaunu_90]

Yeah, I still don't get it.

​@@F44B3never going to get a reply from these bots . Or whatever they are. I've come to think squat university and other channels actually do this themselves to get more active in the comments!! No other reason to see Them all the time

She said the same thing in two different ways… you then proceeded to agree with her, then corrected her statement

[@Henry-kz4gn]

When you do things correctly it should all lead towards your sternum

[@DoesNotInhale]

When someone with an 80 IQ thinks they said something profound lol

[@matthunterman1]

Tbh I can do 25 reps pulling to my shoulder and about 15-20 pulling with my back

[@K777angel]

Nice

[@ithk9496]

Lol i thought the lean was a bad thing and that i might be compensating for something but didn't care enough to fix it. So you're telling me i've been doing it right all along? Good to know.

Ugh that looks so hard

That music need to be changed from push,push,push to pull,pull...
