How To Do A Perfect Pull-Up (AVOID MISTAKES!)

[@MrDesertmike]

Without a doubt the best tutorial on pull UP!! It’s set up & Execution. And from the beginning “Momentum is NOT a muscle” put that on a shirt

[@Topher9203]

I’ve watched a lot of exercise how to videos for years and you’re the only one I’ve seen who’s explained how to have your body positioned and activated from head to toe almost. Great channel. Subscribed !

[@BrandonLemay-qr5nb]

1) Make sure to fully grab the bar (a little wider than shoulder width + wrap your thumb) *don’t cross your feet 2) shoulder blades down + chest up (engage lats) 3) squeeze glutes and brace core *kill momentum, do not swing 4) Exhale when going up and inhale going down 5) Control your body while coming down 6) Make sure to do the full range of motion

[@ansarb3650]

Amazing vid, thanks. Could you do one for dips?

[@MindPumpTV]

Ansar B That’s a good idea.

[@zeroman155]

@@MindPumpTV Yes, please do one for proper form for dips.

I'm just watching your all videos from push up, chest, squating to deadlift.. Loved it. Awesome.

[@unclejoe3397]

Excellent. Best video I've seen on pull ups.

[@raywatlington2548]

What a fluid, coherent oral and visual presentation. So easy to understand !

[@maxvonberg7866]

Thank you for such lucid explanation. Much appreciated.

[@wemoveforward6413]

What a fantastic presentation. Very detailed and explained very well.

[@denisedade9346]

Danny, this was by far one of the best explanations of how to do a pull up that I've heard in a while! Thanks :-)!

[@MindPumpTV]

Glad you enjoyed it, Denise.

Thanks again Danny! You always give me motivation 👍

[@kellygjesdal5858]

I found practicing the negatives really beneficial..

[@rasliche]

Great explanation and tips.

[@paulnewhouse5126]

Ever since watching your videos iv noticed iv been stretching muscles i didnt know i had, feels the key here really is using and stretching everything. :)

[@sehammakawy3155]

Useful & amazing as usual Danny🌷

[@ashlink2830]

Best pull-up video.

[@jomaix]

Best video on pull-ups ever!

[@gpateropoulos]

Nicely detailed!

[@MindPumpTV]

George Pateropoulos thank you George, anything you would like to see us cover in future videos?

[@DadWisdomBites]

Great video. My forearms have been my weak link so know I've been doing something wrong.

[@patienttrainwreck1796]

What should I do with my legs and feet when doing pull-ups at home with a doorway bar? Love your instructional vids btw, the leg extension one totally revamped leg day for me, actually every day, applied same principle to all machines-more range of motion, less weight. Thanks

[@mattsibley5161]

Best video yet! I've always found pull-ups a weak point. I've never been able to do more than 5-7 reps and feel my biceps more than my lats. Hopefully these tips will help! Pullups every day!

[@MindPumpTV]

Matt Sibley They should!

[@kana5s627]

Clearly explained.

[@lazer8384]

Great video

[@Aikynbreusov]

Danny is the only fitness guru who is brave enough to display his legs ..... all the guru's I've seen tend to hide their legs....their cameras aimed from waste up to chest..... I wonder why?????

[@lucentshadow]

Totally forgot about total body contraction. I always put all my focus on using my back and kinda am not mindful of tightness elsewhere.

[@Coachtw18]

Great vid. How would you train a girl athlete on pull ups?

[@jennifersilves4195]

Thank you so much!

[@luptonpittman6520]

Great video. Couldn’t help noticing how he says he prefers to wrap his thumbs around the bar, but with every demonstration he kept his thumbs behind the bar. 🤔. I prefer a hook grip with straps myself. I want to concentrate on using my back, and I find it easier if I can keep my forearms out of it.

[@Pim3211]

Who thought this was not (entirely) well executed. Explanation was clear enough though! 😊 Can you explain why you're not pulling up higher (chest touching the bar) Because to me it seems that you fail at properly executing scapula retraction and lack strength in your posterior deltoids in the top part of the movement. Like you said, we are working our entire body. Everything is under tension. But you are not achieving full ROM in my humble opinion. Cheers!

[@roelbueno2886]

Thanks you sir... perfect...

[@MindPumpTV]

Roel Bueno Thanks!

[@kramkalisthenics]

6:49 goes thumbs over the bar, my fave grip position because it externally rotates the shoulders compared to the thumb wrap. I keep my scapula engaged but here's a 64 year old doing 12 reps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqCZfntnZ8ifia8

[@TarunSingh-ku7nj]

Love the content . Quick Question :- during a cut , when the carbs get low , would you recommend eating most of the carbs before the training or after it ?

[@MindPumpTV]

Tarun Singh hard to say. I usually prioritize a pre AND post workout carb feeding.

[@INSANEYUSUF]

Awesome vid ! Do higher range of motion pull-ups (chest to bar ) engage the traps and other muscles more ?

[@ayaazthaliph2108]

Great explanation of this particular exercise. But what are your thoughts on kipping pull-ups? And can you please do a video on muscle ups?

[@MahadyutiSwami]

I've watched dozens of pull-up tutorials, but this one may be THE best! Actually it's SOOO good and resonates with me SOOO well that the first time I watched it, tears almost came to my eyes.

[@gleaveinjapan]

Good stuff.

[@shubhamkothari2709]

This channel is so knowledgeable. Great content as always!! Thank you for the tutorial!! Wish you more power, team💪 Keep growing!

[@evantanaka3293]

Danny is bringing the muscle shirts back in style

[@madysarr8845]

With the grip you recommended wrapping the thumbs underneath and around the bar but in your execution your thumbs were not wrap around. And if you doing pull ups as a major compound movement then it's not advisable to the it everyday. 3 days a week should be sufficient if you using it a major compound movement as you've explained.

[@victorb656]

Great stuff. Thanks for being so thorough...so many pieces, and they all matter!

[@andrelordello]

I loved the video! Really, really, really loved this excellent explanation about pull-ups! I'm gonna follow ALL tips in my routine! You guys from MIND PUMP are the best as Jeff Cavalier know what are talking about! Thanks!!

[@johnsuzy98]

Very good video! Super helpful! Thanks!👍🏻😃💪🏻

[@boostluca]

Probably Sounds silly but I figured my strength depends on the pull up bar.. On some bars I’m stronger than on others..

[@mcspooney]

bar width, grip strength......

[@tepes22b]

I've been doing neutral grip chin ups for a while, but was excited to try the real deal on the cage at the gym. The tips really helped!

[@EriPages]

It's been 2 years. How have your progressed since then?

[@masoodbayat1011]

Absolutely a fantastic job describing this complex compound move.

[@mademoisellecm1]

I have never been able to do a pull-up. I can leg press 500-plus pounds but I cannot do a pull-up. What is wrong with me? I am going to follow the tips in this video and see if they work for me thank you so much for making it.

[@lilibothwell5834]

My lats are pretty weak What exercises should I do to strengthen them before doing a pull-up?

nice vid

[@TheNickdagreek]

I'm a 65 year old man who used to lift pretty regularly until about a year ago. Had a pretty bad injury and had to stop. I've recovered and want to get back to lifting. I was wondering if you have a program designed for older fellows that are in relatively good shape. Something that is more than a novice but not quite intermediate until i get back to better shape.

[@jdmilan2344]

Nick Leon I’m 54 years young and started MAPS Anabolic and found I made more gains than any other program I tried.

[@chaitanyanarvekar5586]

How many set and reps?

[@samshepherd6111]

Thoughts on elevating the scapulae at the bottom or keeping them depressed?

[@MindPumpTV]

Im good with that. Add it in if you have the mobility.

[@user-ux7hq8wt4k]

When I doing pullup when I get down should I dead/passive hang then depress my scapulas then do another rep or I shouldn't go to a dead/passing hang and keep my scapulas depressed??I am confused because people say you must do full range of motion but at the same time they say dead or passive hang isn't that good.

[@TheArtofMore1]

I’m 6’4 309lbs. I can’t pull up without crossing my legs.does that affect my actual pull?

[@ambrosemichinock7725]

W exercise

[@jlst236]

What does it mean if I can do a chin up but struggle with the pull-up? Any specific muscle weakness/ imbalances to work on?

[@alrocky]

Most people can do more chin ups than pull ups. Chin ups are more bicep dominate than pulls up. The culprit may be the brachioradialis as shown here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZeqf52PpMyjn6c @ 1:30 .You can try inverted rows or neutral grip (palms facing each other) pull ups

[@daveblack6367]

Tells us not to jump up and grab the bar, then proceeds to jump up and grab the bar.

i cud do up to 8 pullups, now reaizing how to do them corectly i barley do 1

If only I could do a pull-up...Maybe I'll apply it to my half pull-up!

[@MindPumpTV]

bitfabrika Have you ever tried band/assisted pull-ups?

[@mentholinc]

@@MindPumpTV I tried band assisted, but that didn't help me with the pull-ups. I can do lots with a band, but not a single one without. I can do two chin-ups in row, so I got that going on. :D Thanks, I watch you're videos religiously!

[@Jonboyr700]

Do negatives until you can do 2-3 sets of 8 to 10. You can thank me in a month.

[@stevewatkin6910]

@@Jonboyr700 by negatives do u mean start at the top then slowly let your self down?

[@Jonboyr700]

@@stevewatkin6910 Get a bench or chair, jump to the top of the pull bar. Hold for .5-1 second and then slowly lower yourself under control until a dead hang. Hold for 1 second and then drop off. Repeat 8x through on first day. Slowly workup in sets. You will be hella sore after the first day. After you can do 3 sets like this, where you can hold the top for a solid second or more perfectly still and lower in like 3-5 seconds, you'll have ample strength to start doing full range body weight pull ups. Doing this instead of bands or a machine also helps teach you the body the correct movement pattern that can get thrown off with machines or bands. Good luck. Report back in a month or so and let us know how you're doing.
