[@macleangrissle2635]

Funny coincidence. Filmed myself doing pullups just last night because I felt unsure about the particular way I seem to arch my back. Watched my own video 10 minutes ago. Still unsure. Decided to check some KZbin tutorials, opened KZbin, this video pops up on top, uploaded 25 minutes ago. They know ... :D

[@Talon_Fitness]

This is an excellent point that is no addressed enough. I used to do these completely wrong and felt excessive pain in my shoulders until I made this change

[@nothingnew765]

I just mix my grip in between sets: standard, close, wide. This hits all of the muscle groups I want, and I do these in between rest sets for squats. I love pull-ups, and as the video stated they are great for all fitness levels.

[@ilikewasabe]

As a guy just getting into calisthenics and working out in general, its really helpful to prevent any mistakes further on. Glad i subscribed to this channel!

[@denizural5390]

In addition, the front lever pull-up progressions are also great.

[@superjulian0245]

This video is so fckin important! I have never seen anyone talk about this before and it makes a huge difference!

[@danielhusain7570]

I appreciate this video! I was making my pull progression harder then it needed to be, not to round the shoulders whilst also trying to keep the hollow body. Now I know, I can choose, both are useful.

[@RobDaCajun]

This video explains so much I was doing wrong with my pull ups. You guys are amazing.

[@felixmartin979]

So it's not actually a "problem", rather, which muscle groups focus you want to train (and your own goals). For instance, L-sit pull-up is way harder than these two.

[@germanrud9904]

It is a problem biomechanically i'd say. The reason people do pull ups like this is because they're compensating for a lack of strength/mobility. It's important to be aware of these things so they can be actively corrected.

[@cheelive9548]

L sit pull-ups are just a variation of hollow body pull-ups. And the problem in those is a posture one.

[@CoilFYZX]

Not gonna lie..best tip ever. You guys briefly covered this before, but it took my 10 years of being stuck at 8 - 10, to my current record of 25 with no breaks! BEST TIP EVER!!

[@erribasouper1239]

I'm truly super happy to see finally a real great explanation of how much arching the back affects the pull up because i couldn never manage to convince my friends that it's more effective 💪💪👍👍💯💯 I would love to see a video about another pull up detail that no one talks about well too : how much flairing elbows at the top affects the pull up. I see people who attempt high reps records flare their elbows and also when doing "phorm pull ups". But when i tried i couldn't feel my lats work well.

[@luiscaminero9145]

This is a much-needed video and topic. Way too many people neglect the upper part of the back.

[@Riptyphoon]

Literally just did a pull workout with my pull up form exactly like the bad version of the exercise. Time to do another pull workout tomorrow I guess

[@rayres1074]

Do one set until failure with good form and tailor the others sets accordingly to that. Don't bother trying to hit the same number of reps in good form as you did in bad form... you probably won't.

[@alexferrier5732]

But its not a bad version is it? hollow body pullup is also good, he explained that you want to do both. Hollow body for beginners while Arched back for mid to advanced athletes.

People don't do pull-ups because they're hard. They're hard because you don't do them. Break the cycle and start pulling. Hope you're killing it out there.

i did 5 of the arch back pull ups and it healed my forward head posture and cell phone hunch neck....

Sometimes I forget how to Pull-up properly, doing it this way feels a lot harder and decreases the rom but I can surely feel the back more. I had a workshop with vadym oleynik and he also brought this up. However, within a few careless months it's easy to get of the rail and mess it up again. Great video!

[@harshchhachhia8482]

Perfectly explained. Great content.

[@aridaijimenez351]

As always correct form like this will significantly diminish your risk of injury and keep you in the game long term. As much as the back or any muscle group you are training with calis, your shoulders, elbows, wrists, ( joints/tendons) are what take the most beating. Keep those reps pure you're joints and tendons will thank you.

[@ЯковН-ю9х]

A huge respect for nice animations

[@farhanhussain_]

Pull/chin ups can be done with so many technique variations that I think adding additional weights won't be needed to build big backside. Although I am personally using backpack for additional resistance but I think that we should move onto more advanced variations of bodyweight versions to keep the progress. Hollow body version to arched version to archers, typewriters, sternum chin up, one arm pull up, front lever pull-up, and so on. There must be some reason that some of the greatest bodybuilders like Arnold and Franco Colombo did not use weighted pull-up and stuck with bodyweight versions.

[@rdg665]

I have always noticed how much easier and more convenient the arched back pullups was compared to the normal pullup , I thought it was a personal preference thing but now I get it.

[@frankfrei6848]

Very good video. However, on the fully extended position when you're down, you also completely unlock your shoulders bringing you into a deadlift position which increases your risk of injury. Instead, tighten your shoulders and scapula at the bottom of your pull and always keep some space between your traps and ears.
