How to Do More Pullups INSTANTLY! (Pull Up Technique)

Get better at more than just pullups (and see faster results!) with ATHLEAN-X
athleanx.com/x/resultsfaster
One of the most common questions that guys ask when working out is "how to do more pullups". The pull up is no doubt one of the more challenging bodyweight exercises. That said, it can be one of the most rewarding back exercises in regards to the amount of size and strength you can get from doing it. The problem with pullups however is that most often, we don't do nearly as many reps of this exercise as we can.
There's a saying, you can't fire a cannon from a canoe. This refers to the fact that you lose strength along the kinetic chain if you have an energy leak. In the upper body, and particularly on the pullup exercise, your energy leak is going to come at the shoulder blade or scapula. The shoulder blade needs to provide a stable base if your lats are to work to their full strength potential.
In this video, I show you two scapular stabilization exercises or drills that you can do to instantly increase the strength of your lats and start doing more reps of pull ups. By mobilizing your shoulder blades and then stabilizing them, you will quickly activate these often dormant muscles of the back so that you can increase those reps of pullups.
Regardless of how many pullups you're doing now, institute the techniques shown in this back training video and you will be doing more by your very next set!

[@athleanx]

How to Do More Pullups (than you are right now) by the time you're done reading this! The pull up is one of the most difficult, but rewarding, upper body exercises that you can do. It engages the lats and the arms together to overcome your own bodyweight and hopefully crank out some impressive rep totals! That said, most guys aren't doing nearly as many Pullups as they should be. Why? Because they aren't establishing the necessary stable scapular base they need to be able to generate force without energy loss. You're only as strong as your weakest link. Time to start addressing the weak link when it comes to pullups. #fitness #fitnesstips #pullups #exercise #workout

[@HexStatic-is_the_best]

Very helpfull

[@eviltaz78]

I'm gonna try this tonight. ..

[@FrankBruce]

People go to extremes trying to develop the lats (latissimus dorsi) when they can do miracles with their own body weight and the fact is that with technique and correct form you can do incredible things.

Jeff, I wouldn't call it instant, but I'm told most women can't do even 1 pull up. Well, that was me. Then I progressed to 4 n got stuck on 4 for a while. Almost 2mths ago I started your program n I'm getting stronger. I went up to 6 pull ups, but I've been stuck there for a while too. I've been under a lot of stress lately but a huge amt of it was lifted off my shoulders this morning. I've been walking on air since 11am today. I felt pumped when I got home n just for the heck of it I decided to record myself doing pull ups just to compare myself to what you're teaching in this video which I happened to watch a few wks ago. My goal was to do 10 by December. I guess I have to set a new goal bc I managed to do 10 TODAY. I'm stronger. My body is transforming. My husband laughs, but everytime I do a workout, I call it Body by Jeff. I'm 49 n just the other day a lady at the gym said she thought I was in my 30's. I've also berm asked if I'm a body builder. Say what? Thanks for doing what you do.

[@nicolesong6199]

[@iNappy]

i dont understand how videos like this receive dislikes at all. i mean, what is there to dislike?...

[@youssefbarakat118]

It might not have worked for some people so they dislike the video.

[@lapeciq]

***** Well im not disliking it, but to build real muscle you should do not that much pullups ( just about 10 or so) but with added weight. Muscle reacts to progressive overload, increasing weight, but not to increasing reps. With more reps you are only increasing muscle endurance but not growing them. Scientific research show that muscle can successfully overload with about just 4 to 15 heavy reps and that more breaks down more microtears in your muscles than it can repair and that impairs the muscle growth. So for example I can do 8 reps with my bodyweight but also 8 reps with 10 kg on my back. And that is how everybody should do pullups if they would be aiming for muscle building and not for the show...

[@iNappy]

thanks for letting me know. i really didnt know the difference. i usually go all the way down with under grip pull ups, but not with wide grip

[@MrPioneer1000]

Jeff, I went down (to my basement) last night and experimented with what you explained. I only did 3 pull-ups in the 1st set, no warm-up. Then I rested for 1 minute. Next I did the scapula warm-up you suggest. Then straight into the 2nd set and did 4 pull-ups (+25% increase), whooa. Next, I rested for another minute and did the scapula warm-up again and then right into the 3rd set. This time I did 5 pull-ups (and they all felt much easier than the 1st 3 which seemed a big struggle). Very happy to see a 66% increase over the 1st set just by watching a 5 minute video!!! You got my subscription.

[@intmaker7723]

I am suggesting you 2min rest.

[@Teamshmo]

Great video Jeff. This is exactly where I fail. One thing that has also helped me stabilize is a set of push ups before making sure I am focusing on squeezing the scapula on the way down. Really forces the shoulders back

[@rayhernandez2070]

[@steepercell]

good lick, Jeff!

[@lyaworski333]

This is actually a good cue and trick for stabilizing the scapula. Remember thou, this guy weighs something around 155-165lbs and is 5'8, so doing pull ups for him is ideal. If you are six feet tall and/or weight around 200 lbs or more, pull ups are going to be more challenging. If you are carry extra fat or even extra muscle, that factors into it. This is a great tip on what to do before you start your pull ups, also do pull ups before you go doing anything else for back/arms if this is a weak point for you.

[@hahaownedlolz]

The good ones would crush you on any workout you throw at them. Strict or kipping. Lol so go kip up your reply on how terrible crossfit is and they all suck and without a kip they couldnt do anything. Because all we do is kipping pullups.

[@tcgtpl]

yeatts134 Nice. I have a barn that could use painting with that broad brush you're using for my comment. "What else could you kip?" Hmm...check out the kipping hand stand pushups and kipping dip videos for starters here on the youtubes. Oh yeah, there's a heck of a lot of kipping for Muscle Ups in CrossFit as well. "Do more research on good Crossfitters." That's what everyone who would be interested in CrossFit should do, I agree. I'm not, because I'd rather train for something than just exercise doing a bunch of movements thrown together with no thought attached. Besides, the top Crossfitters don't even do CrossFit for their training. They occasionally do a CrossFit WOD to check on their progress. I'm not saying all Crossfitters suck in my original comment or in this one either. I checked out this video to get tips on how to increase my pullups, and this guy didn't talk about cheating using momentum and adding the kipping movement like a lot of so-called CrossFit (or should it be CrossKip?) 'trainers' do, so I thanked him.

its because now your are using the right muscles. doing a number of pull ups without forcing the right way can bring you to a higher number. Focusing on wich muscles should work make you doing less rep but more efficient ones. **sorry for my bad english its not my main language**

MaskedArtist80 how long have you been in the gym for. I've been in about a year I'm a skinny fuck but very strong like. I've gone 40 kg on the shoulders on a full routine like so not when I'm fresh. When I first came in I couldn't even do one pull up proper I was swinging on the bar and everything couldn't even do one dip either I have no triceps. Now I do dips easy that I just attach like 20 kg plates to me to make it harder and pull ups I do back straight wide grip no swinging which is kind of cheating. I'm not very good at bench press though cus my arms are very long. Max I ever done was 100 for 3 reps.

We use both of these techniques in the Army to improve on pull ups. This works, great video!

Isometric. If you can reach the bar with your feet on the floor, help yourself with your legs to get on top position, then hold it like 5 seconds and slowly come down. Do 5 reps and then rest like a minute... then do it again. Soon you'll do regular pull-ups or chin-ups. "Simonthecat88" You must not frustrate I also could not make any while my cousins could do 7 or 8 (GRRRRRRRRR) Now i can now do 15 ;)

Also, do back rows. It'll take time and protein to build up some starting muscles.

[@constancefreak5204]

[@yusefendure]

Buy a Perfect Multi-Gym pull up bar from Walmart. It's cheap, the set up is easy, and it fits over the door so you can do these at home. I'm now up to 20 reps a set.

Jeff I came across this video almost 2 years ago and it has worked for me. Excellent way to warm up before I go into full pull up mode. I believe I was able to do 33-36 pull at one time. My work out with warm up would be 1 hour long 2 times a week. With plenty of recover time thru out the week. Much thanks.
