If you think of it this way, your biceps are designed to make pulling activities much more easier, while your triceps are designed for pushing and other activities. Which is why you gotta exert more force with regular pullups than you would chin ups
Yeah sure 💪🏼 Just out of interest, why do you want to learn them? I've never used them in my own training, so I'm interested to hear what draws you to them
@@AshtonFitness I just want to learn it for doing ring MU & Bar MU. As per gymnastics' they do the chest to bar pull ups for more ROM and it becomes easy to do MU.
@@AshtonFitness I initially went quite wide with my arm position (Before I watched your video) but the tension running through my anterior delts was just too much. I see you position your hand grip right above your shoulder therefore taking that issue away. 👍
@@tobymayers4139 Love that it worked for you man, that's great. As you get stronger over time you'll be able to go wider. Well done for listening to your body and adjusting accordingly 💪🏽
Yes, it's definitely an intermediate-level calisthenics skill - not for beginners! Beginners can start learning this one once they can comfortably do 10 pull ups
I'm happy I'm able to do at least L-Sit pullups;) I'm working to be able to do muscle ups without elastic bands😅 it needs time and hard work, but I'll will one day hopefully. Just started few months ago and after lost 25kg+ in about 14 months (with a professional dietician). I'm happy and love calisthenics training and obviously playing guitar lol
@@FatLarry-h4z Tight hamstrings can be solved by doing hamstring stretches. That'll help if flexibility is an issue Other things that help include: 1. Strengthening hip flexors (helps to raise the legs up and keep them raised) 2. Flexing the quads (this'll help to straighten out the legs)
That's good man - this is a difficult pull up variation so you should be proud of yourself. If it makes you feel any better, I can only do around 4-8 of these in a row. Keep going!
@@EmptyHand49 The core activation will be more or less the same. The main benefit of this exercise is for strengthening your back, biceps, and the muscles that support the shoulders
@@EmptyHand49 L-sits on the dip bar are better for the core, that because other muscles hardly become a limiting factor and your core will get tired first
