I just laughed as I always do when I see "fish on a hook" style CrossFit pullups, of all the dumb exercises in history, that one just takes the biscuit. 100% the worst ever pullup variation ever.

Very clear logical video...the only thing I'd add is reducing bodyweight...unless one is already quite lean, then losing the equivalent of say 10lbs (5 bags of sugar) is bound to help! I'm 64, and am now able to crank out 10 good quality full range pullups..I do these every morning when I wake up then go downstairs...I am now starting to catch my head on the underneath of the open staircase (so must be getting higher)! That said, although I feel more powerful and stronger than I've ever done, I'm probably at least 2 stones heavier than when I was a skinny rock climber in my 20s.

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

Spot on mate, and I actually mention a similar sentiment in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZC7Y4iQpr2MrtE Weight is 100% a factor in bodyWEIGHT training, and while increasing muscle mass will always be advantageous, reducing fat will also be valuable. The key is the balance between the two, and the good news is that bodyweight training sets us up really well for achieving this because of the types of exercises we're engaging with (compound movements). P.s. Good job on your pull ups... mind your head though! 😂

The best video on High pull ups I have seen - extremely well explained

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

Thanks for the love, Steve 👊🏿

You are one smart guy, Andrew. You have a knack for explaining complex ideas in a clear manner.

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

Thanks Bruce!!!

[@jamielc3437]

Dudes a machine. I used to be able to do 15 naturally as i got bigger i cant to as many. Bench is up squat but i lost a lot of my pull up power

[@darrensimmons6943]

The height that you get on your pull up at 00:35 is insane! You've become super strong bro and I can only see you becoming stronger!!

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

Cheers, Darren!

Very informative, thank you!

Very welcome, Giovana! 👊🏿

Good vid, as usual. It might be helpful for some to regress form and do more of a pullover movement, keeping a good hollow body shape, but allowing its axis to fall back from vertical. Focus on minimal elbow flexion, vs. the high flexion you have in pullups. See how low you can get the contact point with the bar like this, then start working on doing a similar movement, but keep your body vertical. You will quickly discover it takes a crapload more power to pull with less elbow flexion... but obviously you will contact the bar at a lower point on your body. The big difference between pullups and MU's is that you have to pull on an arc with the MU's, vs. straight up/down. The arc is a result of there being less elbow flexion. It took me a few sessions to be able to do even one MU because I didn't fully understand this at first - in spite of having a pullup PR around 125. Pulling high on the bar is just a completely different movement from a normal pullup.

[@mis56]

Great Video as always! But I still didn't understand the main takeaway. If I want to achieve high pull-ups - what are the exercises and progressions I need to be doing? Weighted pull-ups? Banded explosive high pull-ups?

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

Thank you and Essentially, yes! In priority order - depending on your ability 👊🏿 1. Have a good foundation; make sure you can do standard pull ups 2. Scapula conditioning; work on scapula circles 3.banded high pull ups; to train through the range of motion 4. Once you can access the range, make sure all pull ups are hollow body and explosive! Hope this helps 👊🏿

[@mis56]

@@CaliToTheCrowdThis helps a lot, thank you ❤ I tried the scapula circles yesterday - but I have a feeling I still do the passive hang-active hang variation. What would be the crucial difference between that and circles?

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

Circles just require far more scapula control, but that will come. For now, just work on the scapula pull ups and move from there 👊🏿

[@karol_04]

Great video. My goal is doing 30kg chest-to-bar weighted pull up and right now I'm stuck at 25kg so this video was not exactly what I was looking for, but I seeing the graph at 4:57 made me realize that I do my trainings with way too big of a load. Thanks!

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

Glad the video helped, Karol! I have a video on periodisation that you may find useful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2XTqqyAp8Zkf80 p.s. a 25KG pull up is still quality! hope you smash through this plateau, bro 👊🏿

[@federicogiuliani646]

Hi, I tried to do the method you talk about to increase my reps (right now are 20 dips, 10 pull-up, 20 push-up) but I cannot do the 70% of the max reps I usually do without stopping for like 10 seconds after like the 50% of the maximum reps and then I start again and I complete the 70%. What advice would you give? Thank You Very Much. Have a Good Day

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

Just replied to your question on the original video 👊🏿

[@maltisme]

this is reaalllyy underrated! Why did I not get this 7 months ago?! I've been struggling to achieve this for a LONG while.

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

Haha KZbin is fickle 😅 Glad you found it useful though 💪🏿

[@dududadadede96]

excellent content. Really changed my perspective. A Sprint runner doesn't train for explosiveness by lugging bricks in a back pack.

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

Glad you enjoyed the video 💪🏿

[@MalcolmTrez]

I've been begging you to make this video! Thank you sooo much for making it!! 🔥

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

I finally came through 😁

[@Junaid-xd9sz]

Terrific video. You got a link for that pull up / dip bars in the garden?

[@CaliToTheCrowd]

Cheers Junaid! I got you: xorbars.co.uk/
