Again, the through explanation JT delivers regarding the why's of the movement coupled with the demonstration is outstanding teaching ability. This I believe is a natural talent that can't be taught. At least not to the degree he possesses. Fantastic.
Thank you Jerry! Just built a calisthenics gym and it was humbling to not be able to do one. Your video gave me the confidence to start off, much appreciated!
Thanks for the video. I appreciate the detailed explanation of the technique. I've found this to be a tricky exercise to perform correctly and so I've watched the video a number of times.
First! I apologize if I’m getting too far ahead Jerry, but will all these progression videos be summarized in a video describing how to put together all these exercises in a coherent fitness program? I love watching your videos on how to do these exercises, but i also am the type who needs the whole program laid out for me! Thanks for putting this work in for us
Jay Andrade of course. Are you on my email list? I have an email that goes over the 8 foundational movements. The thing is there are many ways to program a routine based on your schedule, your time commitment amongst other factors. I’ll get to all of it, but it’s 107 degrees where I live😂 it’s 90 degrees in the morning. So I only have a few minutes a day to shoot right now before it’s so bright I look like I am glowing.
I heard people say scapular pulls in pull ups can be bad for your shoulders and heard others say there not bad but I’ve still been practicing scapular pulls to get better at pull ups
I struggle to understand technique 100% through... If I were to sign up for your full coaching program, are you able to hold my hands through every little procedural detail and ascertain that I am doing every movement correctly?
Hi, thanks for the clear video. When I only engage arms, I can manage to do few pull ups but I do 0 when trying to active hang. I have the theory but when I try I am just blocked lol. I cant bend elblows from there, they are locked. Any tips please ?
Been practicing this recently, I’ve been feeling a tugging discomfort (like a dull grind?) on one side of the shoulder as I try to retract during pull-ups. Is this normal and something that’ll go away as I keep doing the movement or a warning to scale back?
Sorry for the slow reply, my mom passed 2 months ago and I am just getting caught back up. STill having the issue? Also, are you able to do slow negatives?
@@JerryTeixeira Sorry for your loss man it's not easy losing a parent. Yea I'm still having the issue but its subsided a bit now that I've scaled back on the pullups. It got to a point I couldn't sleep on that side without it waking me up. At the time I was focused on increasing my pullup strength for the muscle up and maybe I was dealing with overuse and/or mobility issues. Meanwhile I've stuck to just band pullaparts, scap pulls and chinups. Any tips? I still wanna achieve that muscle up!
@@cookieboy881 from what? Doing a lot of pull-ups? If it’s that bad I’d cut back on whatever you think is aggravating it. For me I cut back on any pull-up stuff til my shoulder ache calmed down which took about 3/4 weeks. Then when I felt better I got more into horizontal pulling like rows and banded warmup exercises.
Thank you for the info man I've never done this exercise before probly why i don't improve in my pullups. Can you do this exercise and negative pullups everyday? With my other workouts?
@@JerryTeixeira okay. Yeah ive been working out for a long time off and on but ive been back at it for about amonth and i always think im doing good but my form has never been good or what i want it to be so im restarting and doing these exercises daily w my other workouts to in hopes build muscle and strength the right way this time round
Not for the active hang/ scapular pull. The goal is to learn to just engage the scapula. I’d you continue the motion to start doing a full pull up the yes you’ll use the biceps. Practicing the negatives which are the second progression in this playlist simultaneously with these can help, so you can do them both
@@JerryTeixeira thanks so much jerry. Will check them out. Also tried second progression of pull up but felt my shoulder and neck muscles squeezed and found it pretty tough. Is there a way to strengthen my shoulder and neck muscles as they are the weak links for me ?
Sure but you want to strengthen all of your connective tissues, no? Both active and passive hang have benefits, neither are wrong. I maintain a slight active position for pull ups but practice single arm passive hangs as well
The more frequently you practice this the less you want to do so to failure. Practicing frequently will help you Improve at it the fastest. So what you could do is practice these every day, but don’t exhaust/ fatigue yourself with each session of them. How frequently are you working out?
