How to do High Pull-ups? (What You Need To Know!)

[@hiltonmcconnell2563]

watching your video I see I have a long way to go to do a mussel up, but am going to give it my all. I am 74 now and hoping to be able to do a mussel up before 75. Thanks for the great video.

[@MGproductions7567]

That’s impressive. Have you done it yet?

[@Busyfigureskating]

lol mussel 😅 but yes keep going. How’s your progress been since it’s 8 months?

[@hiltonmcconnell2563]

@@Busyfigureskating Not all that good I have been off with a compression fracture in my spine, for three months then very sick with bronchitis for some time. I have just started back at weight training a little over a month ago, It was like starting all over as have to take it very easy till my back gets stronger, Still finding it painful getting down on the flat bench. But once down for a bit seem to be not bad. Still hoping to do a muscle up but most likely will be a while and a lot of work, hopping by my mid year of 75 as only a month to go to hit 75.

[@ogasi1798]

i will share what has helped me in my search for high pull up, get a box or similar box for feet, get a bar that is set high enough so your arms are fully stretched and you are not touching the floor - lie straight with heel bone on the box , the higher the box the harder the exercise - now hang, now explode upwards to the bar with all your mind and power and imagine smashing the bar with your chest - you will be amazed how fast you can pull upwards , do this in sets, stop when the explosions are just pulls - explosions are fast of course, when they slow - rest, take a minute if you need to, repeat in sets - remember this is about explosions, do not keep doing inverted rows at slow tempo - that is different exercise for afterwards

[@mray3308]

You have some good points in the video. But I was expecting you to mention the wrist turn while reaching the highest position above the bar too. I can clearly see you doing it in the video. I think it requires a loose grip on the bar and the bar or the hands should be slippery enough to allow it. Some information on proper grip would be nice. Still thanks.

[@GymnasticsMethod]

I actually don’t turn my wrists, just naturally grabbing the bar. The wrist turn is getting important while doing the muscle up.

I'm learning muscle up, I only have a rolling bar, I'm not sure if that makes it harder, Ive only just hit 10 pull ups with it and now I need to do high pull ups, I feel as if I'm physically not strong enough for one high pull up, great vid

[@dudleydooright]

I have a rolling bar at the park when I train. I can promise you it's much harder to do on that. I've tried it a few times and it's a confidence killer so quickly head back to the non-moveable bar. I do want to learn to hang for 90 seconds on that rolling bar though. I can win $100 at my local fair next year. :D Tried that last year and made it just over 60 seconds. I see it's been a year since your comment though. Did you achieve the muscle up?!

Recent subscriber. Love your videos. I've been working on filling in the last gap in my strict muscle-up strength (pulling from solar plexus to hips). Do you think it's any different to do jumping high pull-ups as opposed to jumping muscle-ups? The movements are slightly different. It seems like the jumping muscle-up incorporates a high pull-up but I'm not sure that's true.

Me, still strugling to go chest to bar watching this: this sounds great, gonna try it

[@man94xxBIG]

You should use what he teaches in 6:22 of the video and implement it into your training for chest-to-bar as well. And I recommend you should also use 2 bands or one band that totals to about 50 percent of your bodyweight to also train a little bit for the high pull-up before you train for the chest-to-bar in your pull workout sessions...and make sure to get something so your legs can be elevated from the ground for the high pull-up then try to explosively get yourself over the bar, hold yourself there, and slowly come down to the elevated platform you use. Don't let your legs hang til the ground so you can also afterwards train the chest-to-bar with full Range-of-motion along with lighter resistance

[@man94xxBIG]

7:29 I mean 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ... that's the exercise you should use and do a 2 or 3 sets along with the other thing that I told you about

I can do 12 regular pullups and just started training for the muscle up exactly a month ago. I can now do a couple pullups to the top of my chest. Long way to go but even this little progress feels amazing! Rest that golfer's elbow though. I wouldn't be trying this stuff until that heals.

Arched back pull up have less range of motion than hollow body, isn't it ?? Which should we train ??

[@trungducluu9629]

Both , but it will have different carry over to different skill. Hollow body pull up has more carry over to MU .

[@trungducluu9629]

Although arched back has more health benefits ( more healthy for shoulder joint) and you can argue it build more muscle and have more carry over to front level

[@megatonante]

I do weighted pull ups up to 40kg (maybe my 1RM is 45kg) and can't do a single chest to bar pull up. My body just stops a few centimeters before touching the bar, it seems impossible

[@HansumRob100]

Wuna get this 1 sorted...

[@Themagap]

Would you recommend doing high pull-ups with no breaks "swinging break" (like you show in this video). Or is it okay to swing 1-2 times before pulling again? I personally, find It difficult sometimes to pull high instantly after the eccentric phase. Hope it makes sense :) Very informative video!

[@GymnasticsMethod]

It's okay to swing if you can pull better after. The rhythm is important, so if it helps let's do that!

[@zoltannamenyi5129]

Should I be going into a dead hang between each rep? Or should my scapulae be retracted the whole time? Fitness FAQs said to not go into a dead hang between each rep but I've heard others say to do so. Just want to know which way is more effective at producing the most power but is still the correct form.

[@GymnasticsMethod]

I’m finding the deadhang bettet for better elasticity of the upper body and you can take advantage of the stored elastic energy. Like your whole body is a rubber band

[@aadeshmaski5067]

How to recover fast from muscle strains?

[@sincorddnb9155]

stretch after training, eat well, drink water, sleep well, rest for how many days you need. You might need more, or less, really depends from person to person.

Pretty much :) The hardest part is the patience but if you pay attention to prehab, stretching a recovery, time will help!

[@TheMerryDwarf]

It comes back quicker than building the strength in the first place - I say do the exercises that work towards it and see how it feels. I’m in my 40s and am approaching the strongest I’ve ever been (climber who is currently getting into calisthenics).

[@jorg7679]

the journey is the most exciting, I find. Im 40, started calisthenics in Feb after a long break from sports - can now do a few chest to bar pull ups and what gives me a boost is to see progress. Even if I never manage to do a strict bar muscle up I know I will love the journey there

Sir I didn't understand with masttering the pull ups. So if I can do 10 pull ups, even if I'm struggling at the 10th should I train for high pull ups. Because thats what I did. I started calisthenics 2 months almost ago (with a workout backround almost a year with resistamds bands) and the only pulling movement with my body was pull ups. I did 4 sets of 8 2 times a week with other upper body exercises of course, and I gained only 1 pull up. After I trained high pull ups with band and I can do 2. Did I do the rifht thing?

[@nikitaedell]

Keep doing em pull ups till u can do 10-12 THAN focus to put chin over bar, do low reps high sets THAN focus on putting your neck over tge bar, and keep progressing till chest WEIGHTED pull ups are very effective, do em after u acheive 15 pull ups

[@LostInLeiden]

I'm stuck in exactly the same situation. I feel like my technique is wrong, you can't just pull up, you need to push your body away from the bar, otherwise you just hit it. So the angle you do your pull ups is totally different to regular pull ups. That's where I'm struggling

[@maddog3768]

I’m 57 and my max regular pull-ups was 30 in a row in Jan 22 ( not dead hang), I can’t do muscle up so instead, I shooting for high pull ups. Is it possible??

[@justinm412]

Absolutely! Like he mentioned with the explosive push-ups, it’s the same with your pull-ups. Pull up explosively and see how high you can get. Again, just working towards getting higher than just “chin over bar.” It’ll take some time but with your foundation you’ll certainly be able to get there with practice! I would highly suggest the band as it helped me to get to a muscle up when you hit a plateau or jumping pull ups as well. I can stress the importance of hitting the right point when you’re moving forward. There’s a “sweet spot” where your body will have potential energy like you’re using a band.
