I've found that crossing the legs creates form and thus muscle imbalance. A far better solution is to simply squeeze your glutes and tension your abs will keeping your legs straight. If the bar is too low to let your legs hang, simply curl your legs back until they allow comfortable range.

[@oldvlognewtricks]

This for sure. Such a counterproductive crutch.

[@stryker1992]

+1 i prefer to keep my legs straight, like the holo style. it's more comfy for me.

[@DegenMusashi]

This is the way. Crossing the legs is an inefficient way to create full body tension. Watch a gymnast do a pull up, legs never crossed yet tension is created from finger to pointed toes.

[@balbibou]

This is the way. When it comes to bodyweight exercises I look for pro gymnasts. Period

[@BocaNejra]

@@balbibou Crossing or not, the thing is bringing your heels to the ass in order to activate the whole posterior chain dramatically, from upper back to hamstrings and glutes in order to lift your whole body as a block, and only by activating efficiently the posterior chain. Straight legs can work too, but it's easier to loose the tension on glutes and hamstrings, redirecting tension to the quads or even hip flexors like with L shaped pull ups. This is also better to maintain a depressed scapula. The training approach of gymnasts is totally different from a body builder who seeks maximum muscle activation, their prioriy will be always control and a certain form over developing muscle IMHO.

How the hell did you pull all that mass up at such speed? Amazing 👏🏽

[@balbibou]

It's called an explosive pullup, and is not that hard if you have basic strength and you are fresh. Eventually if you keep going you'll pull so hard that your pullup will look like a muscle up in the end, in the middle of your journey you'll be able to pullup up to your belly or even lower (however it will look more like an hollow body than an arch)

[@Unlocktube]

Slower would be more impressive

[@footba11fan41ife]

@@Unlocktubedepends on what the person is going for. I think being explosive is more important than slow rep

While there are definitely are wrong ways to do a pull-up, there isn't only one right way to do one either!

[@Profile__1]

​@@UnlocktubeI think, from what I'm understanding, this method is also impressive because you are still using 100 percent of your strength to explode. Full power, high as you can get. It's the diffference between a jump squat versus a slower, weighted squat.

[@timgerber5563]

Seems similar to how I train pull-ups. At the end of a training cycle I typically test out how many reps I can do in a maximum of 5 sets. I then calculate the rep average across these sets. For example: You get 5, 4, 3, 3, 2 = 3.4. This means I should be able to do 3.4 reps per set. I then start with 3 sets of 3 in week 1, 4 sets of 3 week 2, 5 sets of 3 week 3, and then go back to 3 sets but increase to 4 reps. I do this until I fail to get straight sets two weeks in a row. This way you are also working submaximally in all sets exept the last set and thereby you can focus on perfecting form, exploding upwards, but controlling the eccentric part of the motion and you are sure to achieve overload as a result of stength and muscle gains over time.

[@jamesn7223]

Yes! This is how i'm training now too. It seems the best way to progressively overload but also avoiding injuries by working sub maximally.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I tried it for a few weeks. Here is my experience + results for the +/- 4 weeks that i did it: - max reps: 7 --> 9 - i liked the way of training: max attention on form for each rep. - i noticed when going from 6 to 8 reps that it was quite heavy for me to complete, so I decided to take 20 sec rest between each rep from here on. - i did not enx up dojng the 12 reps (10 was highest) , as honestly this felt like too mucb for me. Both for being able to reach the reps, as well as time consuming. - my opinion on this way of training overall: it was a nice change and felt great to focus on form so much. I have however returned to 'normal' sets. The main reason was fhe time needed to complete this exercise with 20 secs rest between sets. I think i will return to this way of training in some months, potentially with some minor adjustments. If you have any other quiestions, let me know :)
