IMPROVE YOUR PULL UP TOP POSITION

[@proverbalizer]

that last tip is someone everyone automatically does, even complete beginners. It's impossible to avoid unless you are very specifically and strategically trying to do strict arched back pull-ups....but even still as you get fatigued the legs will still automatically try to come forward in the top half

[@ifwecouldvote]

Not me, I always had my legs behind me and crossed for some reason. Saw many others do it too.

[@proverbalizer]

@@ifwecouldvote even people who bend their knees and cross their legs are still gonna raise their knees forward on the top half of the last few reps

[@ifwecouldvote]

@@proverbalizer true, but that wont give you the same result that putting your feet out front would. Give it a try, the leverage is much more with the feet out front. For me, its a huge difference.

[@proverbalizer]

@@ifwecouldvote ok I'll try it, I'm 6"7" so when I use my doorway pull-up bar I have no option but to fold my knees (and even then my knees almost hit the carpet, lol), but I usually prefer to go to the park and do my serious pull-up workouts from the top bar of the swings as I try to keep a solid core with straight-leg plank position

[@sanubsalim29]

After struggling for months to finish my first pull up, I applied your tips and did my first pull up... Thanks a lot man 🫂

[@StopTheDamnTape]

Absolutely awesome video man. Pull ups and chin ups are something I’m very serious about improving on and this is super helpful content. You the man bro.

[@ifwecouldvote]

Amazing tips! I also started doing 2 pullups at a tme, and 1 min rest between, to about 6 sets. It improved my top position really well in just 1 week.

[@BBL-Diddyy]

This is the exact video I was looking for and you explained it so well! My problem was my elbows flaring out

[@Bisme333]

Holy shit... elbows in is all I needed to hear. thanks bro

[@lorini11]

Micha your content is pure gold, thank you and I can't wait for the next

[@subhamshaw1726]

as always your content is pure gold. now i understand why some of things you said the body does this automatically. now i know how changing positions i can move weight efficiently.

[@anambivalentenemy]

I have been doing pullups,and have seen videos about them,for years. But i have never heard, of thought, the info you are providing here. Thanks Micha! 🙏

[@MichaSchulz]

Thanks 🙏

[@MarianoGrande1]

This video is a piece of gold.

[@happyhayot]

Could you do a video on how to do chest to bar pull ups? Than you 💪🏼

[@HarunFarah]

Great tips thanks watched while doing in the gym rn

[@Аршан-ю1р]

Mann, this is some rare content... Much appreciate it.

[@michal1893]

Really enjoying these

[@proverbalizer]

what about specifically training that top half range of motion. Like doing a short isometric hold with elbows at 90 degrees, pull up to the top, and go back to the 90 degree isometric. I know using full ROM is the proper form and often gives the best hypertrophy, but I feel like occasionally aiming to specifically target the weakest link in the range of motion might have benefits

[@Adi_Bossanac]

try it. experiment. no one knows your body as well as you

[@WaltMarkson]

Thanks ❤

[@in-solo7545]

Hey great contect. I want to ask please about DIPS, if I do little spine movement on them, it can help me get more BW reps?

[@JohannDaart]

Great topic of the vid! Do you think that achieving "chest to bar" touch in arched body (hollow back) pull-up is possible for every person? Do you think that to touch the bar, the concentric part of the pull up needs to be performed explosively/fast? That's what I see in most vids on YT. People are touching the bar, but the pull up is explosive.

[@shimshondayal8458]

I won't say you NEED to pull explosive to touch your chest on the bar but yeah you must have explosive pull ups unlocked to pull all the way up to your chest..... It's like the slow muscle up if you can do explosive muscle ups you can easily do a slow muscle up....... I myself can pull up all the way up to my belly & I got that strength just by doin' weighted pull ups & normal explosive pull ups

[@JohannDaart]

@@shimshondayal8458 Thanks for sharing your experience man :)

[@freehatespeech6804]

Slow chest to bar is just the first part of a slow no momentum muscle up, which we know is possible

[@copadinac]

Wow, great content man - keep up the good work.

[@TheVolcano2334]

I have such a hard time getting chest to bar. I can get chin over bar easy. Do you ever train chest to bar and what technique do you use?

[@flowmotion_sw7616]

great explanation

[@liben75]

Top advice as always!!

[@darknova3591]

Wow, quality content.

[@afonsogoncalves8705]

So when would exercises like pull ups against bands or 1 and half reps be interesting to incorporate in one's program? I thought the main purpose of them was strengthening the top half of the pull up...

[@MichaSchulz]

Both would also make good additions. I would program them only as accessory work though ✔️

[@afonsogoncalves8705]

@@MichaSchulz Understood, thank you

[@deedd1440]

What did you do as accessory/ secondary exercises?

[@benjaminwetscher9614]

Merci 🙏🏼

[@LeinonenHannu]

I like your calculators on your website. Just what I was looking for. Often 1RM max calculators are not for chinups, but you have it. Also a RiR calculator :-)

[@elicohen8156]

I am a beginner. Should I be trying to get chest to bar on bodyweight reps or not?

[@MichaSchulz]

Wouldn’t generalize it. Pull as high as you can with proper form 💪🏻

[@ChristopheDAngelo]

Top video Micha

[@tstreino]

what do you think of doing partials? half way up only to 90 degrees and back up? to strengthen the top rom

[@naturelife418]

great

[@sebc3546]

Instead of using the "rotate hip"-trick to finish a grinding rep, why not use it during the whole movement from set1 rep1?

[@proverbalizer]

it actually makes the bottom part of the rep muuuuch harder. try L-sit pull-ups and you will see.

[@lior3217]

wow!

[@emmanuel3465]

hey micha, how much posterior pelvic tilt is allowed in competitions?

[@MichaSchulz]

In the most just a change from atp to ppt is forbidden as far as I know

[@Han-nk3io]

You will always fails at the Top because the biceps contract at the top and your biceps is always gonna be weaker than your lats. For me doing Front Lever Raises to Pre Exhaust then doing Pull Ups .i have stopped failing at the top of the pull ups .

[@MichaSchulz]

I don't really know what to say. First part is incorrect, second part is true but useless for performance training. =D

[@gauthierfreund9172]

First

[@enzoconstantinoromo364]

Yup
