Hi Jeremy, following your pullup tutorial video, after ~8 weeks of practice, I just did a real pullup (no assistance) last week!! Thank you so much. I'll keep practicing using your tips in both videos and improve pullup game. Grateful for the amazing videos - I've watched lots of tutorials before but wasn't able to form a workout plan to actually work on it, but with your pullup workout plan, I succeeded! :D

Dont try to lean your head forward 4)not enough volume or practice.

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.

Jeremy, I always find your videos to be very informative, thoughtful and helpful. I was a Marine before I became a Nurse. I can say first hand that these tips are very helpful. I used to be able to manage ~34-36 pull-ups back in my hay-day. At some point during school, I injured some back muscles and haven't really been able to do that many pull-ups since. These videos that you've provided have been invaluable. 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.👌

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?

I've got good pull-up form. I use scapula retraction from bottom to top. But recently I watched some full planche tutorial and they mentioned doing pull-ups as a good exercise to improve the planche. That confused me because there is no protraction in a good form pull-up. But I found out here are 2 variations of pull-ups: hollow pull-ups and arched pull-ups. Looks like hollow pull-ups are more beneficial for things like front lever and planche.

I just want to ask you one thing Jeremy; are chin-ups a good alternative to pull-ups because many studies show that both of them activate lats to a similar degree. And second thing; for chinup, is a medium grip like pull up better or shoulder width grip?
@tommymack3210
@tommymack3210 4 жыл бұрын
Chin up is better for lats and biceps. Pull up is better for upper back muscle and lats.

Check out Calimovement’s channel, they did a video on alternative grips. They found out that narrow grip for ”Chin-Ups” was better.

With a chin up a shoulder width is better, pull up a slightly wider grip as u saw on the vid

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!

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.

Body weight HAS to have an effect on the amount of pull ups people can do. Strong at 250 vs Fit at 145 makes a HUGE difference in the ability to do the movement.

It’s muscle to fat ratio so basically the lower your body fat is the easier the pull ups are that’s why you usually see the ripped guys doing the most pull ups because they’re pulling muscle they can activate rather than fat that’s basically just loose weight

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?

Get a pair of gymnastic rings and lower them so that your feet touch the ground. Control how much your legs assist. This way, you can work the movement with less load, and you'll do a full bodyweight pullup in no time.

hi, bro, please make a video about crossfit with all the research, is it really good for health and is it possible to make a good shape by doing crossfit? because lately a lot of people have been popularizing this sport only from the best sides, not to mention the bad consequences such as: high risk of injury (weightlifting, butterfly pullups that destroy joints), d-hypertrophy hearts due to excessive acidification and so on. Your opinion is very important bro :)

I’ve been doing grease the groove for pull-ups Day 68 and my max at beginning was 2 reps now my max is 10 strict reps. I’m at 6 sets of 6 reps throughout the day currently. I’ve estimated that from 2 max strict reps to 20 max strict reps it will take me at least 6 months of grease the groove pull-up training. To add full reps to pull-ups it takes a long time .

Another thing I'd like to share. Find inner vertical BALANCE that runs through your spine. This helps one focus on using both arms with EQUAL pressure. It helps develop lats and delts that do not look overdeveloped on your dominant hand/side.

decent video. apply the thumb rule taught by steve maxwell to get the right width grip for pullups/chinups: make a pronated fist, extend your thumb and touch your shoulder with the thumb - that's your width for pull ups. with your thumb touching at the same point of the shoulder make a supinated grip - that's your chinups width.
