Learn Chest To Bar Pull Ups In 3 Steps!

[@kuzon2132]

Starting doing chest to bar pull ups and it def engages my back a lot more compared to when I used to round my shoulders

[@TheHYENA87]

Myself also, question for Mischa... Is this the best way to do pullups when back hypertrophy is the main focus?

[@theamazingofhumanbody3847]

@@TheHYENA87 yes it is! Chest to the bar helps engaged scapula retraction and depression that activated the back better! U fully retracted your back during this movement. But jts harder

[@guantingliu1667]

I got enchanted after watching Calisthenic Movement's 'Perfect Pull-ups' and couldn't find other videos on chest-to-bars anywhere on KZbin. And today KZbin is pushing all kinds of CTB videos to me.

[@shnedergaard]

I just finished 6 weeks of "top focus" so I'm excited to see how that translates into my weighed neutral grip pull up 💪🏻 Nice video!

[@MichaSchulz]

Integrate some of the paused top work again from time to time, helps really good

[@supersaiyan7149]

Bestes Video, was ich zu dem Thema bisher gesehen habe! Arbeite gerade selbst an der Übung und bin angetan vom Fußsupport. Die top position, lässt sich völlig unabhängig vom Progressionslevel solange halten, wie man will. Für die Partial reps bin ich wahrscheinlich noch zu schwach, aber habe sie mir gemerkt.

[@MarincaGheorghe]

One can also do inverted rows where you bring your hands to the weist, doing the same scapular retraction you showed in the first exercise. Great content!

[@bryankent3307]

Great video!, greetings from México.

The best tutorial about chest to bar!!!! Btw 1 question : what about the elbow positon? Elbow close to side? Or flared?

[@MichaSchulz]

keep the elbows roughly under the bar

[@victormanuelpolanco922]

Picture - perfect pull- ups!.

[@jessicamaria4098]

perfecto, misha, el chest to bar es 20 veces mejor que una dominada normal hice mis primeros CTB casi a ciegas como que por instinto despues para corregir mis errores tuve que reaprenderlo pero valio la pena, ya no me molesto en hacer dominadas a la clavicula, solo hago chest to bar, gran video sigue subiendo material, un besito

[@gungnir3926]

i am always a little creeped out because you look eerily similar to myself, especially at certain angles lol. it sometimes feel like i watch myself train or rather watch what i could do if i keep on dedicating myself. big fan!

[@MichaSchulz]

Would be cool if you are stronger so you could compete for me

[@aymex64]

I can do it but after around 3-4 reps I can't touch the bar with my chest , how can I fix that?

[@MichaSchulz]

More training & patience

[@AJ-et3vf]

Get stronger at bodyweight inverted rows. You literally touch your chest at the top portion of bodyweight inverted rows

[@theflolilan]

gute video diese!

[@dhrubhagatsingh1501]

what are your thoughts on using the inverted row as a primary lift to build up to the chest to bar pullup?

[@MichaSchulz]

Works, but not optimal as it’s hard to progressively overload it from a certain point

[@hungphaminh1644]

Can I simply "replace" chest to bar pull ups with chest to bar chin ups since I find the chin ups are more possible or I need to consider the chest to bar pull ups as the higher progression

[@MichaSchulz]

If you want to

[@doronuzan]

mind blowing

[@philipp1487]

Spricht der Chest to bar pullup dann mehr den Trapez an oder inwiefern macht das für die muskeln einen unterschied?

[@theflolilan]

Der Unterschied liegt darin, dass du dich viel mehr nach hinten lehnst und dadurch alle Muskeln im oberen Rücken viel stärker arbeiten müssen. Also ja, auch der Trapez. Aber auch der Lat. Du kannst ja selbst mal, ohne unbedingt bis zur Stange zu kommen mit der Brust, den Pull Up in zwei verschiedenen Varianten ausprobieren. Einmal mit einem "runden Rücken" und einmal so, dass du dich oben ganz bewusst nach hinten lehnst. Und in beiden Fällen einfach mal kurz oben halten. Dann wirst du merken, wie viel mehr die "nach hinten lehnen" Variante deinen Rücken beansprucht, wie viel stärker die Muskeln da arbeiten müssen. Der chest to bar Pull Up ist einfach nur die ultimative Methode, sich so stark wie möglich nach hinten zu lehnen und damit so stark wie möglich die Muskeln im oberen Rücken anzusprechen.

[@Samuel1414k]

would chest to bar pull ups work more on your biceps+forearms compared to the regular 'chin over the bar' pull ups? (pronated grip) Thanks!

[@MichaSchulz]

Nope rather less. But in the end it comes down to willing contractions

[@Guitarist7place]

Are chest to bar pull ups effective to really overload lats?(are they dominant muscles working?)

[@MichaSchulz]

It’s rather upper back dominant

[@Guitarist7place]

@@MichaSchulz And also, do I need to half retract scapula to feel more lats than go full retraction?

[@Guitarist7place]

What is the best scapular position for making lats dominant?

Can i ise resistance band help as a beginner to do chest to the bar pull ups ???

[@MichaSchulz]

Only if you want to pull through the top ROM with acceleration

[@souravchattopadhyay138]

@@MichaSchulz but with slow tempo pull ups will he more effective fore muscle growth ya? Instead of accelerating?

[@GeorgesonOfficial]

Bands is generally not ideal because of the nature of how they work, their resistance curve does not help THAT much for actually improving since it’s not a constant resistance from bottom to top, only time I would recommend them is to push past failure once you cannot even do the basic progressions towards the end of your workout. You’re much better of training negative pull-ups and some type of rowing whether seated cable rows or inverted rows (even better choice if you can’t even do your first few pull-ups) compared to using bands.

[@whosaidiwantedahandle]

I can't depress my shoulders. Like the neurons for that don't exist

[@MichaSchulz]

Avoid retraction and try again!
