When I started to engage my core while doing pull ups, I felt like my lats became the main muscle worked. If you see gymnasts doing pull ups, this is exactly what they do. It's that often forgot "hollow body hold" and the pointing of the toes that gets the core engaged during pull ups IMO. Also, they do a ton of pull ups and they often have strong and developed back, shoulder, arm, and ab muscles. Nice, informative vid as usual, Jeremy!

1. **Grip Width**: Use a medium grip of about 1.5 times shoulder width. A too wide grip shortens range of motion and increases the risk of shoulder injury, while a too narrow grip shifts more emphasis to the forearm muscles. 2. **Core Engagement**: Before starting your pull-ups, engage your core muscles and maintain a "C" position throughout the exercise. This provides stability and enables your lats to pull with more force. 3. **Maintain Proper Form & Lead with the Chest**: Keep the shoulders back and externally rotated as you ascend. Before initiating the pull, pull your shoulder blades down and back so that your shoulders move away from your ears. During the pull-up, lead with your chest, aiming to get your upper chest or collarbone to the bar. This ensures a back-dominant pull-up. 4. **Volume**: Perform enough volume of pull-ups as the strength correlation between pull-ups and lat pull-downs is weak. Use methods like pull-up negatives, additional sets, or more sets with less reps per set to accumulate more pull-up volume. 5. **Correct Execution**: Choosing the right exercises is important, but executing them correctly is key to maximizing growth. This includes using the right grip width, maintaining core engagement and form, leading with the chest, and doing sufficient volume.

2:40 if the core is engaged it is impossible to control your shoulders to be pressed down as you said in mistake #3. Also this creates hollow body position which shifts the attention away from the back muscles to the arms. So this is not bad if you are doing chin ups. But is bad during pull ups, so to solve this you need just to flex the abs and the glutes to activate the core to and you should focus on pulling the bar towards your chest with your elbows.

I have a love/hate relationship with pullups momentarily. After months of constant training, it seems I'm just stuck with 12 reps (with chinups it's 14). Seems next to impossible to get past those numbers, and I'm been stuck here probably for 8-9 months now. Training 3-4 times a week (sometimes few easy sets on rest days too), with added weight of 5-25kg, without weight, short sets, longs sets, different grips etc. Doing also L-sit rope climbs to give my back a bit different stimulation. But nope. It does seem its now a lot easier to do those sets of 5 reps and you can do them more than before, but maximum amount seems hard to grow bigger. Ideas?

Yes, many scientific studies also show that the pull up and chin up had almost SIMILAR Lats activation (Chin ups got an average activation of 82 whereas pull ups got 85). But, the chin ups activated the biceps and chest more then the pull up and the pull up activated the lower traps significantly more then chin ups. But, considering that how easy are chin ups are can be done 3x or maybe 4x more then pull-ups; the chin up is definitely a more functional exercise. Hope it helped!

With your SCIENTIFIC based approach, I've gotten my core back into good shape, and now I'm back up to >14 pull-ups over the last 4 months, without injury. Thank you again. I recommend you to all of my buddies & co-workers. 👍 You're doing a lot of good work here my friend. 🇺🇸👨⚕️ Please don't change a thing.👌

I am a bit confused. At 2:10 the reason for the grip recommendation is based on pulldown studies but later on it is mentioned that pulldown strength doesn't correlate with pull-up strength (5:23) due to different muscle activation patterns. Am I misinterpreting this or do we have to question if grip width recommendations can be drawn from pulldown studies? No hate at all, maybe someone can explain?

Andreas Kastner yeah he was referring to muscle activation, tbh the small things don’t matter that much, just use a grip that feels best for u

At 2:10 , shows only lat pull down's grip recomendations, not about to pull up

Yep. He does this a lot I don't think he's wrong in the recommendation but he's definitely cherry picking

Pro tip, imagine using your elbows as hook and use pinky finger to feel your lats more.

Don't worry. Keep doing them. I once couldn't do 1! Now I can perform 12, though aiming for higher reps. Increase the sets as said in this video.

Done properly, pull ups are probably the best upper body exercise you can do... in my opinion, of course. They train a TON of muscle, and can build a lot of the musculature that is both functional and aesthetic!

1. Grip width slightly wider than shoulder width, 1.5x shoulder width too wide puts shoulders in compromised position and shortens rom which decrease back involvement, too narrow increased forearm pronation and make forearms limiting factor and less back engagement. 2. Engage core, more stability in body and lower back and lats can pull with more force 3. Keep shoulders back and down throughout whole rep, externally rotated so lats stay engaged. Lead with chest 4. Strength correlation b/t lat pulldowns and pull ups very low because different muscle activation, do more total pull up volume. Do more negatives or assisted with band or do more total reps and sets by decreasing reps in each set.

First time I tried doing pullups properly, I was astonished at how much my core was working to keep me into position. Feels great when you have proper form.
@ch3ngg4 жыл бұрын
could you please do a series on mind to muscle connections? how to awaken the muscles and know when youre feeling them. i just started going to the gym and for example, i have trouble activating my lats (i have tried a lot techniques from videos and my personal trainer and i cant feel anything). im doing seated pullups as one of my exercise and they are hard! love your videos. they are extremely helpful and i enjoy understanding how the body works when exercising.
@Kboges4 жыл бұрын
Mind muscle connection is SUPER important. Consider doing paused reps. Pausing at the top of a pull up allows you time to feel the lats at max contraction. I find this helps many clients develop the MMC.
