No matter what technique you choose make sure your technique is on point! I see very few people performing pull ups/chin ups with proper form, full rom and with a controlled descent. Many guys in my gym use it as a warm up or cooling down and their half reps hurt to the eyes. PERFECT form in this video 👍🏻
Personally I like to do everything with full rom and as good form as I can manage, but there isn't any problem with doing half reps if your goal is a lighter warm up to get the blood pumping. As long as you aren't doing anything dangerous it's fine.
@@FreePheoniixYes, there is nothing wrong with „half reps“, because every movement does good to the body as long as it isn‘t dangerous, and half reps can be strategically used as a warm up or cool down or as a build up exercise when your muscles aren‘t fully developed yet. For example, you can divide the top part, the middle part and the bottom part of a „full-range“ and work on these independently until you got the strength in all muscles for all the movement to perform the „full-range“ that is possible for the human body, with „clean form“ and strong muscles. ;)
People say you shouldn't bend your legs, but I literally can't keep my legs straight otherwise they'll be on the floor. What's wrong with bending legs?
@@easytriops5951 step one you up with back, then step two you power on on hands and up half with hands. So if you use half reps you do arms or back. If you have no power to do good reps you need to go negative reps or pull a block. Spend time on half reps can be if you have not match volumes on full range or its haveay so you need to lower the waights. I never used this tech, even i havent other option to do other exersice pullups/dips bc dont see the big benefits.
My main leg exercise is the split squat. Ive noticed that if i put the working leg more forward (farther to the support) i feel it way more on my glutes and considerably more on my hamstrings, while still getting good stimulus on my quads. You can try that if you like split squats. For hamstrings nordic curls is the best thing ive ever tried. Warrior 3 pose is also decent, but its a isometric so not everyone's cup of tea
The way the body works is amazing right? Like, turn your hand a certain doing a push up and it goes from targeting the chest to the triceps lol. People be sleeping on how much you can do with bodyweight exercises in terms of creating variations to target all muscles you possibly can target.
@@T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G.you can't even control you're own body weight yet you guys brag about lifting external weight. Real weakness comes from not controlling yourself 🤣 whether it's physically, emotionally or whatever.
I personally don't see the benefit of wide grip pronated pull-ups compared to (slightly wider than) shoulder width pronated pull-ups. Some people believe that the wider you hold the bar, the wider your lats will develop, but that doesn't make sense to me. The reason why is because of applied tension. When performing a bodyweight pull-up, no external force changes. Your bodyweight doesn't change and gravity doesn't change. The only thing that does change is how the tension is distributed throughout the body, based on different positions and angles of motion. Some tension will always be applied to your shoulders and arms during a pull-up. When holding the bar with a really wide grip, some of the tension that would otherwise be applied to the lats with a narrower grip will be transferred and added to the tension already applied to the shoulders and arms, and therefore slightly reducing tension applied to the lats. The only thing this is likely to achieve is excessive tensile force on the glenohumeral joint. Protecting the rotator cuff, which is often stated on this channel, is extremely important for everybody who participates in physical activity of any kind. My advice is to do your rotator cuff a favour and avoid the really wide grip pull-ups.
@@adrozz2120 You pull in the frontal plane anyway with a slightly wider than shoulder width grip, provided that you slightly extend the lumbar and depress and retract your scapula as you lift. In addition to lateral extension, the lats also medially rotate during vertical pulls. Performing chest to bar pull-ups will fully engage your lats, and there's far too much tensile applied to the shoulders and elbows with a really wide grip when attempting to medially rotate the bar into your chest.
The wider you go the more your uper back work because of disadvantageous leverage for lats/you can't use full range of motion of lats when you pull your elbow far apart your torso
@@thecomputez-gaming8427 I've been training everyday! I have zero rest days, I just work out a little lighter once a week. Bought protein powder, doing so well!!
Where is the discomfort? If you feel like your arms are coming off your shoulders, it might be because you are forgetting to do it , the pull up, with your back. Squeezing the shoulder blades down and back. I hope it helps.
When doing wide grip pull ups be sure to keep your elbows from going in(they do this naturally) doing this allows a lot more of your pull-up to be focused on your lats and back in general from my experience
Every time I try and do pull ups I just feel it in my arms and not my back, I try to focus on retracting my scapula but I just feel like my back is asleep. I generally have issues with back exercises because of this I fucking hate it
I noticed also for myself personally if I do a couple sets 15 minutes before I go to do my warm-up sets and jump into my workout, maybe it's in my head but I feel like I'm able to get more muscle activation mind muscle connection whatever you want to call it
@@DoughnutDragon i’m no expert so i’m not sure about the pinching, must be something to do with the nerves. i simply stretch with resistance bands over my head and dead hangs for my shoulders
i have a problem with my pull ups basically i pull first with my left hand or u can say my left side go significantly higher than my right side the thing is i didnt notice that until i recorded myself doing pull ups
How significant are the effects of "challenging the fibres from different direction" in practice? Do you actually see difference (other than in performance when getting used to the technique and having novelty for a couple of weeks)? What fibres are dormant in normal grip when doing pullups that activate in wide grip? I can agree with possibly different focus on activation, but dormant sounds questionable. And I can agree on benefits for learning control if you need wider arm width for other things. I just found the explanation interesting.
That's why I can't touch my chest to bar lol I have been wondering why it's my grip width cause I am able to do it chin ups but for some reason I could not figure out why for the normal
