Very helpful information. This is the exact question I had when I installed the doorway pull up bar and the bar is 6inches above my head and I ended up practicing L seat pull up ;) Thanks.

Brilliantly explained. I have a door pull up bar because of the lockdown and was wondering how the bent knee affects the exercise.

[@yat21]

Personally I find doing pull-ups with our knees bended is more stable. Prevents from swinging to & fro.

[@777tillinfinity]

I am.the same! If I tuck my legs right up to my stomach I can do them easier and more

[@khaleelmaestro]

For 2 months I’ve been doing with knees bent 😢. Thought it was the perfect way. Time to improve

[@xuemeiwang1881]

thanks for your valuable input

[@steveherridge8965]

Thanks for the vid. I've been getting a few clicks and clunks in the lower back (not painful) while doing pull-ups and I think it's because I'm arching my back and not tucking my tail bone.

[@chrismarklowitz1001]

My legs are stationary but they naturally go way forward on pull ups idk if this is cheating though.

Thank you !

John, what do you think about pulling chest-to-bar when doing pull-ups?

[@JohnSifferman]

I'll create a video on this, Wayland. But the short answer is that I'm a fan of this variation (i.e. often called chest-to-bar pull-ups, sternum chin-ups, or perfect pull-ups) because it helps elicit a complete contraction of the lats. Just one more tool in the toolbox that is certainly worth using from time to time, depending on one's needs and goals.

@@JohnSifferman Could you already publish this video about chest- to- bar- pull ups in the meantime? That would be reeeally interesting!

Pull ups will improve your posture and thereby making you look a bit taller.
