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
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?????
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. :)
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
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.
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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lo6MH12clSM.html
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 ?
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.
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.
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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SfGNjYogpiE.html @ 1:30 .You can try inverted rows or neutral grip (palms facing each other) pull ups
ridiculous how he mention doing this many years , but struggled mid final second of the video , this help to ppl dont want to do it hardcore , no offense this shit is soft , chek this guy
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 !
@@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!
@@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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!!
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.
