[@KayGill]

I love Pat's humility and his confidence in who he is. I reckon many guys would have a problem with their wife being able to do more than they can. Love you guys 😍

[@patrickoconnell2380]

hahah thank you!

[@bonniegrigg6089]

Patrick can do more but he knows he married a competitive bad ass and he loves it!!!😍

[@juyoungkwak6571]

I've been doing crossfit for about one year and a half and been recently frustrated because I still can't do a single strict pull up. Now I know how to work on my pull ups using your tips for warm up and drills. This is so helpful. Thanks Kristi :)

[@chelsea4861]

Still working towards getting my first pull up - thank you for the helpful tips!

[@patrickoconnell2380]

Brilliant breakdown thanks … as a young man I was an active climber, yet two key movements (pull up and lunges) have forever eluded me! Shall build these into my routine this week … ❤️

Definitely needed this change up in my pull-up training. Even as an adaptive athlete I’m always looking for ways to adapt and be better

[@patrickoconnell2380]

heck ya!! get after it!

[@terrencemartin2621]

I liked this set of pull up progressions a lot! The final band pull down drill is new to me. I will definitely incorporate that in strengthening my strict pull ups!!

[@patrickoconnell2380]

its a great drill, and also a great accessory movement!!

Hands down the best informative video on pull ups, love you guys!

[@michaelkowalski5760]

Thanks for the great video. Going to practice them tomorrow.

[@frayedendz1]

perfect! I really like those warmups esp the stuff that just gets your shoulder blades sliding and working and helping to "connect" to the scaps because most people just try to jump up and do pullups but theres no actual connection to the back, great video!

[@JenMullholand]

thanks Kristi & Patrick - so so helpful! Homework for those strict pull ups! You two are the best.

[@santirial2465]

Great vid! Had shoulder surgery 12 months ago and still having trouble with hanging on the bar when shoulders are not "engaged" (can do around 5 strict pull ups with little to no help). Gonna try all of this and see how it goes. Thank you!!!

[@patrickoconnell2380]

heck ya! take your time, no rush. steady consistent progress!

[@breannhuerta5922]

[@nickysimpson7441]

Super helpful thanks

[@gypsigrl30]

Thank you so much for this. I am bound and determined to get that Pull up. I was wondering have you done a toes to bar vlog yet? I didn’t see one and I don’t know about anyone else but I could use drills or some advice on how to keep the momentum. I do great for 1, or 2 but then I am done. So any advice on that would be appreciated.

[@elleharkerrr]

Yay! Perfect timing I am determined to get one before the year is out 💪🏻 thanks so much guys - informative as ever ❤️

[@cathygrant4358]

Can you go through best way to build to toes to bar. I am not sure if it is my back or stomach needs to be stronger - probably both

[@tamarataminator4569]

perfect thank you soooo much. If you want to came to munich you more than welcome.

[@joshuakeiser4445]

It's crazy when we're in the box and there's people in there doing 20-30 kipping and butterfly pull-ups but have to jump to get 1-2 strict lol. Or when people brag about pulling 500 on dl but can't do a pull-up or pushup.

[@patrickoconnell2380]

totally agree!!

[@claudiubalint1494]

Wow Kristi what a gorgeous explanation, I love it, pure scientific honestly, what a great lesson, thank you so much guys, for me it's GOLD, even if I have experience in Sport Science also in sports, I'm still learning all of my life, honestly you are amazing and awesome guys!!!

[@edisuryachandra9661]

9:30 Are the bands safe? I'm always afraid they will break and snap on my eyes or my "thing"

[@debtink5756]

Thank you so much can’t wait to try this as all else failed 😔I will follow you Pat step by step will let you know how long it take me cheers can I also ask what other body parts/muscles do I need to strengthen thanks 👍

[@patrickoconnell2380]

heck ya! and the lats are big muscles and spending time making them stronger can make a big difference!

[@janelleotero9666]

Thanks for all you do and your vlogs. I’m new and it’s been hard to learn technique not attending a box. I would like to learn more about barbell snatches,

[@edisuryachandra9661]

1:50 I can not do that even once...unless I loosen my grip and only hold the bar with my thumbs and index fingers

[@erikhendricks7909]

I have 12 Strict Pull-Ups. Love the warm up activation drills. I am DEFINITELY going to try the last 2 activation drills because I never tried those drills before. I am DEFINITELY going to work in the Scap Pull-Ups into my warm-up. Do you have any thoughts on what I could do to help me get to 13 Strict Pull-Ups unbroken? Thank you for sharing these AWESOME drills.

[@patrickoconnell2380]

it really just takes alot of reps, and working the "negatives" and the "banded pvc pull downs" as well as just accumulating lots and lots of pull-ups !!

[@erikhendricks7909]

@@patrickoconnell2380 OK

[@candiceschmidt4071]

If someone only has a door frame pull-up rig, do you suggest different drills or just bend yours knees to make these work?

[@patrickoconnell2380]

I would still work these drill even if you have to bend your knees!!

[@eves1503]

In drill #5, was Pat sitting at a 90 degree angle or was he leaning back a little bit, if looking sideways?

[@valeriamarrerodiaz1731]

Hi kristi. ❤thanks. do you have the same diet as Tia? I mean bagels, eggs, berries, rice chicken, bacon and broccoli?

[@pelkonenkalle]

The ‘IBEX’ gray panels on the wall, are they for handstand push-ups? And if so, where can I get one? 😊 Thanks.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Hey! They are, patrick used flooring from home depot to make those!

[@bryans9803]

Great video!. You must be my favorite fitness couple. One question is you forgot to say how many reps and sets for the scapula pull ups. 3x 8-12? Or higher rep similar to the pull downs.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

I would do less! More about quality! I usually like 3 sets of 5-10 at most!

[@alexdecouvre2749]

that is amazing, hope to get few :)

[@patrickoconnell2380]

get after it!!

[@praneethapalasuberniam6662]

Where can we get these bands?

[@jimbobroski4884]

Looking for a bar like this to give me room for MU’s and kipping C2B and not hit the wall. What depth is this one? My current set up is only 24” off the wall thinking I need at least 34-38” off the wall. Any suggestions?

[@patrickoconnell2380]

this one is 36" out for the wall!!

[@patrickoconnell2380]

and we got it from "studpullupbar.com"

[@jimbobroski4884]

patrick oconnell awesome! Thanks so much man. Just ordered mine

What's kipping ? Please

[@donaldpackard3191]

[@patrickoconnell2380]

[@coryboyd7958]

LOL, thank you Pat!

[@patrickoconnell2380]

haha aint no thing

[@Fergushow]

I am working on my strict pull-ups and am stronger with a narrower grip than slightly wider than shoulder. Is that normal or something I need to work on as I progress to kipping? I can do 10 strict now at 245 lb body weight but can’t hold that volume on an EMOM.

[@Hoehihoh]

I personally favour a narrower grip as well and I actually feel like it's ultimately helped my kipping. For me, it makes it easier to go into external shoulder rotation and activate my lats more. I can now do 15 strict pull-ups, 3 strict muscle-ups, and have no issue cycling butterfly pull-ups in workouts with a lot of volume. I think forcing yourself into a grip width you're really not comfortable with shouldn't be necessary and probably isn't helpful.

[@jorob813]

Probably because your biceps are helping more with a narrower grip. I’ve had the issue doing a high volume of strict pull ups causing some discomfort in my biceps. Widening my grip allows me to feel my lats more. It has helped me personally with kipping and muscle ups to use a wider grip.

[@Nerd311]

Push ups!!!

[@coryboyd7958]

Was that schedule 40 pat?

[@Mcglocklingirls]

Awesome content and tips - never seen these before - I'll definitely introduce these into my routine - after living with a damaged rotor cuff for 20 years by not following these kinds of activation drills - thanks guys

[@va1erykachurin]
