It's so refreshing to see/hear someone explain something in a calm and straight forward manner. You've been at it for so long with this kind of high quality content and you only get better and better!

His calmness is a consequence of someone who knows his craft so well, that he has no need for ego to speak for him.

[@loushka128]

After my shoulder injury I fully avoid using my shoulders to pull me up. I strictly use this technique now i.e. totally using the back muscles, as shown the video and I can't even do two full pullups this way. Good-bye ego!

[@petier184]

you have no idea how often I come back to this video I swear pull ups can randomly become hard to feel in your lats for no reason

[@RapidBlindfolds]

Do you have narrow shoulders? The narrower your shoulders are the more everything becomes arms when it’s meant to be back due to the differences it makes in muscle attachment

[@hoejackborseman1059]

[@enricogarro5884]

Finally someone show How to really perform pull ups! Great video!

[@guyfearful]

your pull ups are so perfect you made the video look like its in slow motion

[@Thebigfish0]

This is the best explanation one can get. Retracting your scapular will likely prevent you from injuring your shoulders and lats and therefore engaging your back and the lat muscles which is quite vital. Thank you for this valuable video. !

[@seeyouatsunset]

This is the only other pulling exercise I do besides deadlifts! My lats are tender as fuck from doing these 5x5 yesterday! I want to be able to go all the way up and stick my chest on that bar like it's connected with fucking super glue. Such insane back and bicep activation! I used to hear clicking noises in my shoulder when I would do pull-ups, and now that I'm doing them this way, it's just a smooth contraction all the way up. So convenient too because all I need is my bodyweight to get my arms and back jacked as hell.

[@daemonrowanchilde7221]

I have been following many teachers on KZbin to learn a foundation in calisthenics and i find you are the best teacher on this subject that I have found. I am almost 60 years old with a now compromised lower back and wrists from many years of tattooing many hours a day. I am also 6'2" tall and 145 lbs. As you can imagine I need to start slow and work slowly and steadily towards my goals to rebuild from the ground up. You are the only one that I really trust to follow. Where do I go from here for beginners instruction from you in my condition?

[@Xenc5]

This was super useful, thanks! 💜

This is probably why I don't feel pullups in my back. Thanks and when is the Q and A?

[@roberthertzberg4421]

Thanks for showing us the perfect pullups. You got into s lot of details on it.

[@peterchristensen9585]

I've been doing pullups the regular way for so long that it was really hard for me to get started with this. What I did was put a chair a yard out in front of me and put my heels on it to take off some of the weight. Then I did a number of sets to get the feel of it. It felt like doing pushups upside down! I found this post looking for help because I was only feeling my pullups in my shoulders and knew something was wrong. The tip that helped most was to pull my elbows down toward my hips. Just holding that thought with each pullup goes a long way towards getting the form right.

[@jsboyle3459]

Excellent-some nice tips👍

[@SeboHyatt]

I will have to re watch a ton of these videos.

[@FitnessFAQs]

+Simple Complexity Feel free to navigate through my previous videos, plenty content.

[@SeboHyatt]

Definitely will, man. You do a good job of explaining things. I'm not even close to being able to do this movement but I know that when I am I will look this up once again.

[@arkmazg]

+FitnessFAQs, isn't it detrimental to shoulder health to completely relax or allow the shoulders to raise to the ears in the "dead hang" portion of the pullup? If not, can this similar technique be applied to the pushup for optimal results?

[@uros160]

+arkmazg Yes, you better not do any strength training, so you don't damage your body................................

[@larssoerenson1630]

So this variant of pull up is suddenly every strenght training?

[@motmiguelcustodio8476]

Hello, Mr. Daniel! Thanks for these cues, I'm able to do a pull up that I can feel not just with the shoulders but including my back. With this, I can build muscle properly instead of building calluses. Again, thanks a lot!

[@Charles-bn4cd]

Hi Daniel, can you show us how to correctly depress and retract the scapula? Or do you have any suggestions. I am tired of pulling up with my arms. Thanks! Great video by the way!

[@altuber99_athlete]

The best I learned to depress and retract the scapula, was by watching other people doing it. So, just watch videos from Daniel or from LittleBeastM. I mean *to watch*, not to listen: Don't just listen whatever they're saying, instead, mute the video, and as you watch 'em performing the pullup, imagine yourself doing the *exact same thing* they're doing. This is called _Imaginary training_, and research's shown it's effective for strength training (check ergo-log.com).

[@imamgiuseppe5103]

Lean back guys that's like the biggest difference for me

[@gloup81]

best progresion is emulating all these on body rows

[@jaker4731]

Thanks for your work!

[@evanreiser9106]

Hey Daniel, this tutorial is comprehensive and well put-together. Thank you. Question: so basically, there's no progression for touching your chest to the bar (the true "perfect pull-up"), you just keep trying with perfect form and eventually the strength to do so will build up? Or is there some auxiliary work to be done to achieve chest to bar?

[@FitnessFAQs]

That iooks like a pull up Franco Columbu used to do...I've seen it on an Ido Portal's blog once.. Tried to perform but it's hard as..F***.Alot of upper body mobility needed i think. Anyway.

[@SirNeshorn]

Hello Daniel, and thanks for some very good and instructional videos regarding pullups. I've struggled ALOT with pullups ever since I began training them (for about 1 and a half year now). I've pretty much hit a plateau and been unable to progress for an entire year now, and I don't really know what the problem is. I've watched your video for 3 must-do exercises for mastering the pullup, and I've begun doing those exercises instead and just keep doing a pullup every now and then to improve my form. But I can't really feel that my lats are doing most of the work. My forearms, however, are always burning after I do some pullups. I also tend to swim alot, and I've noticed that when I thighten the muscles in my forearms doing the pull after the catch, my lats are barely pulling anything (or maybe they DO pull something, but all I can feel is my forearms and shoulders working), whereas if I relax in my hand and fingers, my lats do most of the work. Any additional tips for how to progress and how to activate my lats? Or is it just that my lats are weak? Sorry for the retardedly long post/question. Keep up with the videos, man. Awesomeness abound.

[@Nick-sd7um]

[@dojajkox]

So, Daniel, a pull up like this won't get my technique any closer to a muscle up, but it will improve my strength towards it? That's how I get it. I can already do muscle ups, and lat pulldowns are helping me to continue progressing. You could do a video about them. Cheers!

Hi Daniale I have a question if you would please answer so it will be too much helpful for me. As you suggeset that pullimg arc is a mistake for doing pull up. My question is that which one is better and more effective beteen arched back pull up and straight up pull up for training back and others muscles at the same time?
