Same😅😅, glad i found this video before my bawls shrunk to the size of raisins

Chances are you’re probably focusing too much on the weakest portion of the movement

Keep a good, strong pace, and don’t think about it and just do it whenever the time comes (whenever you c-)

And make sure to be all the way out before

I testify.

Stop driving a car and start walking everywhere like your ancestors did. Keep it simple.

​@@continuum_ I thought you were telling him to walk because he's an older driver 😂😂

Legs?

Can you tell what you do? I'm currently on a bulk too. My other back exeecise are progressing but my pull up number is still the same.

@@alfatangel8614 if you’re bulking and your pull up number is the same, that’s progress. I only do pull ups once a week. I do them weighted and with a wide grip. I then do a max attempt once a month.

The point of lat pull downs is to strengthen those muscles not to necessarily feel like a pull up. The pad is there for people who can control intense weight that would just lift them up if they stopped engaging their muscles or fatigued throughout their set. Lower the weight, control the rep down and let it stretch you on the way up. If you think it’s effecting your ability to do pull ups instead of building it then you’re likely doing the exercise incorrectly.

Two things that helped for me were: 1. Taking horizontal rows very seriously since that upper back strength carries over nicely to pullups. A classic progression into the pull up is the inverted row. 2. Slower eccentrics, especially at the bottom where I ease slowly into the stretch at the bottom. Your pull up reps will most likely drop, which is honestly a good thing since it keeps you from doing too much too quickly.

Have you tried chin ups or neutral grip chins?

If Pull ups are really a no go, then go and do rows. Yes, yes I know they are NOT the same exercise as a pull up/chin up. But they do also work the lats even if not as effectively. I mean what else are you going to do? Not train at all? That's not an alternative. But if Pull ups really totally destroy your shoulders, the best thing you can do, are rows. Even if they will not as effectively work your lats they are still a part of it.

I damaged my rotator cuff doing pullups. What worked for me was not doing any pullups for a few months while training my rotator cuff with face pulls. I also found that neutral grip was a lot better, so i introduced them before any other variation

It is fundamental that you stretch too, I had rotator cuff pain when I was benching and it went away when I started stretching 1.stand in front of the barbell on the squat rack 2.Put both hands on it 3.lean your torso forward until it is at the same height or lower than the barbell 4.Rotate your hip to the side so you end up looking north with the front of your hips while your arms are directly to one of your sides (East or West ,where the barbell that you are holding is is) This is actually a lat stretch but when I did it with left shoulder rotator cuff pain it killed me to do it and I immediately felt better, after around 3 or 4 days I was benching with almost no trouble.

I mean, on a pushup you aren't lifting your entire body weight, iirc just about 70%? and also less range of motion ig, the pullup movement is just bigger than pushup and creates more fatigue

I've always noticed it lol

​@@Enhanced-Atrophy I've been watching so long I never notice anymore. It used bug me

Truth. Im a residential mover, have been for years. Back, forearms, calves.

Hows your spine?

@@piotrproszewski3977 In ten years of manual labor I've had 3 lower back strains that had me unable to walk for periods lasting longer than a week and countless other smaller strains. Psoas, TA issues. Ive also dislocated my right shoulder twice badly and several other times a bit less severely. Aside from those issues and the usual minor burns and cuts and ankle sprains, I've avoided serious injury. My spine is probably fucked but I have sweet lower traps and my back looks like I drank the super soldier serum so 'sall good.

@@piotrproszewski3977 Fucked, actually 🤷‍♂️

That's really good! Why not start doing weighted pull ups next?

@@CrniWuk because he can do pullups to the chest instead =)

all depends on how many you can do. if you can rep out 12+, you’ll need to add resistance for strength. if you can rep out 4-5, you’ll need added assistance for hypertrophy.

Generally for strength including some higher frequency sets taken further from failure can be quite effective imo.

@@onZampie that’s a good tip. especially if you can add weight. otherwise it might not be so effective. with calisthenics it’s all about what you can currently do with your body weight.

Did you do other exercises after as well or just that program for 6 months?

@@manillagorilla1986 It was the only vertical pulling I did for the most part during that time. I would do a few sets of DB or barbell rows a week, some rear Delt flys or face pulls and curls of course but nothing like assisted pull-ups or lay pulldowns.

Maybe try some iso holds and slow negatives?

Strength, because you have to be able to have the force output equaling your bodyweight or more first before thinking about training it for reps or even time.

Building muscle for a natural is all about strength.

No. The band and most assistance changes the movement too much it absolutely does not help refine the movement at all. It does allow for more reps and volume on those pulling muscles sure but it doesn’t make you better at the actual pull-up technique

And build up your grip strength...

That's gay, are you gonna use your straps when you're hanging off a cliff, who's gonna go get your straps when you have a log to lift? I say using straps are gay AF because when you're outside of the gym unless you carry straps around in your pocket you're gonna have useless strength or grip if you need straps. If all you care about is muscle then whatever, but think about it, if a log falls on your friend are you gonna shout out loud "help! Someone go get my straps so I can lift this log!" Bruh what I can lift without straps is what I can lift, if I can't lift it without straps then I don't even want to lift it But I want useful strength outside of a gym setting so I know what I am actually capable of

@@kingdavid8178 ok

@@Ybby999 Am I wrong or do you carry straps around for when a log falls on ya momma?

@@kingdavid8178😂 you do you bruh while i go get some good back gains

I don't know if that helps you, because I have a really shitty issue with my tendonitis, but what I do is some serious streching after the work out and over the week. Really helps with any kind of stiffness or pain in those tendons and joints. Also, stupid question I guess, but check your form. I notice that sometimes I "forget" to pay attention while doing the exercise, so my elbows flare out or I start jerking around and that really shows a few days later in the tendonitis. Particularly with the last reps when it becomes really difficult. Pain can also be a sign of inbalance, like the shoulders pushing forward due to sitting all day on a computer with an arched back etc. Conditioning, like 20-30 pull movement without weight with a focus on the muscle helps a lot in building that mind-muscle conection as well. With this, my pain has become substantially better. Hope that helps you somewhat.

i have noticed occasionally that i experience that elbow ache after pull ups if i don't get enough calories and protein for the day and at least a good amount right after the workout. I know, it might sound weird but i have experienced this a few times. Obviously my personal anecdote but why not try it out.

Your elbow joints might not be strong enough to handle the amount of extra weight you've added. Joints are slower to strengthen than muscles.
