Hey, thanks for the tutorial brad and mike, i am not over 50 just 17,5+ and i can do pull ups maybe 10 if i really give it my best effort but I don't ever feel the back stimulus and stimulation but with this method my back really feels it, i guess the exercise was initially to heavy or hard for me and i never got to building basic strength and stimulation i really appreciate it thanks alot thank you really really i mean it, i am a calisthenics Athlete and this method will help me out a lot plus i have a means to do it at home but it's not a real/proper pull up bar I can't wait to see what i can do with my new found strength hehehe plus i can try out and train the pull up i invented 😎 really amazing, love you guys as i would towards friends wish you all the best and the whole team!

I love Mike!!! He excels at demonstrating exercises and therapies, explaining clearly how and why they are done that way. He’s professional, and has a terrifically sharp sense of humor - bet a lot of that whizzes by a lot of folks. Bob and Brad are lucky to have him on staff and on camera. I love Bob and Brad too, of course - That’s an amazing friendship. Kudos to Mike for stepping in and stepping up, with such kindness, respect and integrity. Much love to my favorite - and the very best - physical therapists on the internet. In my opinion, of course! 🙏❤️

How I learned to do chin ups after 50: 1. The bar at my park has an attach to a ladder at the side 2. I walk up the ladder and place my arms and chest at the top position of a chin-up using the ladder. 3. I let go of the ladder and hold that up position as long as I can 4. When I go down because I can't hole myself up, I try to resist as much as possible. 5. Repeat this every day. 6. After 1 week of this daily, I was able to do chin-up. For me... 1 chin up was the hardest part

Another tip for those who can't do 1 pull up is to do negatives only. Stand on a chair and set in the top position and lower under strict control, then repeat. When you can do 7-10 negatives under strict control, you should see improvement in doing one or more pull ups (similar to the technique another mentioned below, but without the contraction/hold at the top).

I do pull-ups, lat-ups and chin-ups daily. I started at 0 and then worked up to a sets of 12 each per day over years. When my back goes out, hanging down really helps. The kind that fits in a doorway has been great. The handles wear out over time but the bar isn't too expensive when a replacement is needed.

Some public parks have bars and horizontal ladders. When I raught 4th graders, we used our PE time on the playground for fitness par cours.. The horizontal ladder was used for slow "let downs." When kids could do 10 of these then they could do a chin up. Over hand grip is harder and works the triceps rather than the bicepst

If you need help to get good form, don't feel embarrassed to use these techniques. Too many people are ashamed to use bands or other aids. If you need to do pushups on your knees, do pushups on your knees. Getting the complete motion is much more important than doing weight that you can't handle.

Chin-ups primarly for biceps, pull-ups for back/lats. Note: you can also use the eccentric and isometric approach to build stamina and muscle.

@jdryakАй бұрын
By allowing the full body weight to hang loose and unopposed by un-retracted scapulae (relaxed scapulae which move passively forward instead of being actively contracted to the midline of the back), are we not possibly risking greater compression of the bicep tendon (tendon impingement below the acromion)? I tend to guard the shoulder joint by slightly applying specific scapular retraction while hanging, and that seems to cause less bother to the bicep tendon after completing the maneuver. Your thoughts?

@BrisLS12 ай бұрын
I am 54 and can't imagine not being able to do 5 pullups. Ironically, I wouldn't recommend forcing it with bands or negatives. I would get stronger per pound of body doing other things first. If you can't do one, you could just be too overweight. Try pushups, planks, swimming, bench press, body weight rows, and certainly cardio. Anything that you can do well that builds strength and improves circulation, then return to the pull up bar. It's a movement unlike anything else you ask of the body, so I would not shame myself, but I would flood my whole body with warm oxygenated blood and adrenaline before asking my hands to endure 200 pounds of pressure on metal after tapping a keyboard for 8 hours. Thanks.

I have to disagree with this. I'm 58 and never could do pull-ups. Growing up I was the skinny kid, but I was always very fit with running, cycling, swimming and weight lifting. I did gain weight over the years and I'm currently 6'2" and about 200lbs. This Summer I'm revisting my most dreaded fitness nemesis, pull-ups. I'm trying to lose some weight, but I'm also integrating assisted pull-ups into my workouts. We'll see if this strategy works. I just know for me when I was ~170lbs, about 30 years ago and doing all these exercises, but assisted pull-ups didn't help me in the dreaded pull-up department.

It may seem counter-intuitive, but I find that a bar with knurls (cross-hatched pattern) where your hands go rather than a smooth bar, works better. If you are at a park, you don’t have that option. You might in that case try a little chalk on your hands (the kind they sell for climbing).
