Good tip: if you have a pull up bar in your house (one of those doorframe ones), everytime you walk past it, do a set number of pull ups each time. This way you wont lose pull up progress. That helped me when I started.

I did a lot of negatives when I started. Couldn't do even one proper pull-up. Within a week I did my first proper pull-up but continued with the negatives to progress faster. It feels great to be really strong even if my left shoulder continue to sometimes give me pain. Doing wide grip pull-ups is possible but hurt my shoulders too much.

[@viniciusalexandre898]

I don't think that's normal, i recommend you to go see a doc.

I'm getting better with my pull-ups and exercises in general. Just like with anything else, if you keep practicing you'll get better! I was literally one of the most unfit skinny people you'd encounter lol, just being honest. I continue to get better because I want to be healthy and I love exercising, so I make sure that I continue to go at it. To be honest I've been able to do more pullups with shorter rest periods, because I train my body to do so! I enjoy your content by the way and it always reminds me to pursue my fitness & health lifestyle no matter what! Although I'm my own motivation, but having individuals such as yourself is motivational as well, I hope you continue to do well in everything, including your fitness & health lifestyle too!

Thanks for this useful video. However, am I supposed to always keep my scapulas engaged (retracted) between reps, or should I completely lower my body to a dead hang after each rep? In other words, does scapular engagement happen only once at the very beginning of a set, or each time new rep is executed? Thanks.

*A mindset I like to think when doing pull ups is once I'm looking down at the bar that counts as a rep, helped me break that habit of goosenecking....even if I can't do a lot of reps it don't count if I'm not looking down at the bar*

If you think about it assisted pull up machine works if you gradually increase the difficulty. Each week just decrease the assisted weight in increments of 10 lbs until eventually you're comfortable pulling your own weight.

[@romankudrav]

Very nice tips, Austin! Thank you!!!

[@paulieevans1]

I can’t do any pull-ups but can do like 3 chin-ups. I can do like 12 pushups. Following you for inspiration to keep up the work. Question, will doing chin ups build the right muscles to eventually do pull-ups or should I start incorporating your beginner pull up exercises?

[@aslam_9407]

i aint no expert but i have some experience in that, imo u can do chin ups and while chin ups are good for your back they will never substitute pull ups, u have to know that pull ups are harder than chin ups because while they both use back musculature, chin ups use biceps, which give a lot of assistance, while pull ups use the brachioradialis (google that),its a much smaller and weaker muscle in the arm, and while it can be trained to be almost as strong as ur biceps, when starting off it will always be weaker than biceps. with that being said, i would recommend that you incorporate some pull up type, u can start off with holds, negatives. also u can try with bands, but personally i learnt my first pull up just doing negatives and holds so i would recommend that and its enough to get you through, negatives will always be beneficial even when u can already do 5 reps of pull ups. I am currently doing sets of 12 reps x3 of pull ups and still incorporate negatives in my routines.

[@JackBegotti]

Austin when you 've started, did you track calories and macros? Because I've been tracking calories for almost a year, but this situation is stressing me out a lot mentally, so I decided to stop tracking food for a while. Do you think it's a good idea?

[@vasilen17BG]

3:30 lmao so true. On a side note, many people do lat pull downs cuz they're weak at the pull up and they think that the lat pull down is superior. Then you ask them why do you squat and deadlift and not just use the machines for legs and they answer you that squats and deads use stabilizors and machines don't. Then you tell em that it's the same for the pull up, it uses more stabilizors, therefore it's superior to the lat pull down and they get kinda quiet. All kinds of excuses just cuz you're weak at a certain exercise. Any exercise in which you move your body through space will always be superior than the cable version(pull ups, dips, squats, deadlifts, bench, OHP and so on).
