If you can only feel pull ups in your arms, and you struggle to get the back to engage in pull ups, there are a few things that we can do to remedy this.
Today we are going to go through how we can ensure we are feeling the lats during pull ups and make sure. The larger muscles are pulling their weight in this movement.

@beentheredonethat5908 Жыл бұрын

I would recommend getting a v grip , often used for pull downs or a pair of rings , if you want to build your lats very young people or new trainers don't have mind muscle connection yet, which will come later, there will help ypu grow and force lat activation and isolation faster , plus both will require practice. With both, attach to a pull bar, fir then v grip attachment, just put it over the bar and it will cause close grip large activation of the kits through both the pull and release of the movement and the rings, well they speak for themselves

I have been doing pull ups and always wondered why my back never activated only my arms and shoulders felt the heat. Thank you for the video 👏🏻🤝🙏🏻🙏🏻

@CaliToTheCrowd Жыл бұрын

that sucks! Gyms can really feel like intimidating places, and I'm sorry that you feel anxious about training there. While some gyms can be cesspits of toxicity, most gyms really are welcoming and full of some amazing people! Is training in a gym something you aspire to be able to do one day or do you prefer training at home? p.s. glad the video helped you with your pull ups!
