My reason is related to the mass of the Earth... and my own mass.

OK, here are my personal pull up tips assuming no preexisting injury or motor deficiency. 1. Determine total body weight 2. Determine lean body weight 3. The difference is fat, water, food, waste, etc. 4. Use a pull assist machine (or bands if you must) and SUBTRACT your body fat. You now have a measure of your true strength as a function of lean mass and a basis from which to strengthen. You are NOT weak! Progress could be rapid as one typically loses fat while gaining overall strength, the two variables race towards eachother. This can be exciting for the trainee. I advise pull ups, air squats, pushups/dips every day. Not to failure or with volume ( on an off day ) but as a continuous reminder to the brain that the connection needs to be improved and recruitment maximised. The progress in the gym will encourage continued effort. See a sturdy bar? Try a pull up, even if your feet are dragging. Dead time at work? Drop for some pushups or air squats. maybe a few dips while leaning against a sturdy workbench? You get it. We adapt to environments, use yours to train. Recover! Sleep, hydrate, quality foods, did i mention sleep? Love the channel! Peace.

I think the root of 95% of form problems is that beginner's do not know what their musculoskeletal system feels like.

Great insight Dave! Thanks for all you and CFsoar get to share with the community!

This is the best explanation I've seen so far that actually make sense. Thank you!

Thanks so much! I didn't know about that little muscle on the forearm! That was it for me!

great info felt like I was at my PT.

I have to say that I just came across this video...don't know how. I watched it. The next time I did pull-ups (assisted with a band), I remembered this video and not only were they a little easier but I actually felt it the next day in the right places, which I typically don't. So thank you :)

So helpful! Thanks so much

Very helpful! Thanks!

thanks, gave me some new exercises to work on to help with pullups. I also struggle with grip strength so I look forward to the curls :)

Thanks for this video.

Great video. Great explanation.

Very helpful video!

This is great!

Finally a biomechanic explanation of what I do wrong ! Thx for this video, very helful

Excellent video! Thanks

This was helpful. Thanks!

Great tips, I’m going to try the suggestions. I’ve been trying pull ups for the last year and can only do a few at a time.

Awesome . . . thanks!

This was really helpful, thank you :-)

Thank you great video ..

Excellent, now I have a plan to work on. Can't do a single pull up, now I have something to aim for and a means to get there... thank you :)

Great tips on how to control scapula movement!! Thanks

Very helpful. Thank you 😊

Great video! Thanks man!

Thank you. The downward curl with the palms facing down was like breaking news for me. I really feel how I'm underdeveloped there. I can't even use proper weight there.

I don't do CrossFit..but this video is great! I'm going to incorporate it in to my routines..I've never been able to do pull ups and it is my #1 goal!

Thank you! I couldn't do a single pull up a couple months back and now, after 1 or 2 days a week with reverse curls added, I can do 5 in one set! I appreciate the guidance.

Wow!! That’s awesome! I can’t wait to do more than 1 pull up!!

thank you so much for this tutorial.... !!!

This explained exactly what I needed to hear. EXACTLY. Even when I was more fit than I am at the moment, I could do dozens of chin-ups but not a single pull-up. I wasn't getting the rotation. Thought I should drop this thank you as I begin training for the Marines.

Many Thanks!!!

Great Info 👍 . I will train to do pull ups the correct way . Thank you🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.

man this is the best video ive seen on pull ups. thanks

Exaaaaactly the kind of stuff i want from. KZfaq. Subscribed

Nice job especially liked the seated angle pull. A lot of folks have difficulty just hanging from a bar so timed holds help develop grip strength. Coach Stone

Interesting how you say to focus on the middle traps while I've been mentally focusing on the lats! Thanks for the tip!

Great video , I can sure use the info

Great info. Sub'd cuz of this vid

The biggest question I have is how are you not getting 10's of thousands of views, there videos are so helpful and so well done, thank you from an old fat guy in his garage gym trying to correct a lifetime of poor moment and ability

Short and clear. He's definitely a mentor. (Not a KZfaqr)

This is one of two of the most helpful pull up video I watched! Thanks. Will work on it

Great vid, never considered using the band to help with the back muscle

Damaged shoulder and c3 damage but slowly getting my mobility back and being careful. I will be adding in that smith machine bar exercise now.

Great video

this is how everybody should teach to succeed doing pullup not only about technic how pullup should be done...where the weak mussel that we should strength it up if we can't do pull up..good job guys...👍👍👍👍👍

I got it. Thanks bro

I like the way you were concerned for her safety. Everything else was well done.

Very useful. Have trouble with pull-ups. Will work on brachialis.

Good video!

Thanks guys.

Thank you!

thanks for this video God bless

Thank you so much , will try . Can do pull-ups, but not as many as I wish

Ok but someone should do a pull up in the video.

You are a first person to actually explain this to me. Thank you. I have all those issues and weaknesses when trying to do pullups and chin ups. I've never did more than two. Hopefully, by the end of this year I'll finally be able to do at least 5 reps. Back when I was in HS, 20 years ago, not even my PE teacher knew how to explain it. Or perhaps didn't care to. He was also schools football coach and a head of our PE department. Popular with kids but a complete meat head and an ass.

I always knew my arms were weak for pull ups and never knew what exercise to do to target it. Thanks hopefully I'll reach my goal with my first pull u0

That's me, thanks for the info.

Oh thank u. I hv been wt training for 6 years but hv never been able to do a pull up.. this really helps

i never even thought about that forearm muscle! thx!

Thanx.. Its very helpful

Yep I am thanks so much for proper forum was doing some wrong

Great informational video. And I love Nes's smile!

My favourite exercise!

OMG THE LAST REASON IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW! I scapula pulled the f out of my life but could never get past that part in a pull-up / chin-up... Didn't know what I was supposed to hit on my arms / forearms... Now I do

Nice sir I'm gonna try this hoping to get 1 pull up at this time and maybe I gonna get more pull ups after real soon :)

Holy crap why did I never think to use the barbell, this is gold!

Thank you so much I have always sucked at upper body related exercises. More specifically the pull ups. I haven't given up yet. This video really helped.

Thank you
