That first tip puts more strain on the elbow tendon, from my experience, and increase chance of tendinitis. Also, it emphasises mind muscle on the tense arms, whereas if wrist is straight, it enables focus and dependence on the back muscles. Straight wrist is indeed harder as he says to begin with, but keep at it and eventually your form gets very slick quick. Harder doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, especially if harder involves better form. Your grip will get stronger... If you want to develop back strength and not strain elbow, straight wrist is best. The guru at the end doesn't advise tat first tip either, just normal straight wrist..
Worth mentioning that the pulling on your finger tips is what causes elbow tendonitis. Unfortunately I ended up with elbow surgery before I knew that part.
@@maxgamesst1tendonitis gets fixed with surgery all the time. It’s a procedure done when non surgical methods don’t work. It’s very common, and very easy to google. This isn’t complicated
Pulling with your finger tips is recommended for those who also want to increase grip strength. As a climber in CO my grip strength is much more important than my form for pretty pull-ups. Harder pull ups means I’ll reap the benefits more later, as long as I’m not injuring myself I’m fine.
*Not sure if you answer questions on your videos, but ill shoot my shot* The part at the end with the one to two reps of explosive pull ups, what are the different acute and chronic results from that versus [lets say] 5-6 sets of 10-12? Thanks in advance
My preferred grip as a rock climber is three fingers waxh hand just hooking the bar. Much better for elbows and wlbows while turbo charging the finger strength.
I can smell somebody who has never spent time doing something with anyone. Basketball, video games, tennis doubles… REALLY ANYTHING COMPETITIVE THATS NOT YOU SITTING ALONE… 1 word call outs are very useful for information spread. But yeah ur competitive house sitting is rad.
HOLY! SHIT!!!!!!!!! ok ok... i can't do a pull up for my life but i've been training for it recently... negatives, hanging to build my grip strength, half pulls etc. So I did as the guy suggested full grip. I never even thought of that i was doing them all wrong. Anyhow I'm not gonna say that I did a pull up... not yet... BUT i can feel my body engaging more and THAT is AWESOME! you have no idea how much i needed this. Now I will continue everything i've done thus far but with the full grip! Thanks for this video!!
The easiest pull-up you'll ever do is with your elbows in front of your chest, only a foot apart, feet tucked under your butt, so your body leans right back. Your hands are barely more than a foot apart, wrists curled as in the video. If you have parallel bars so that your palms are facing each other, it's even easier. Here's to doing a billion pull-ups next year!
@@End_Domestic_Violence I noticed this too when i reduced the distance from a wider grip. I don't have the strength yet. I'm doing inverted rows and tricep dips. Even when I don't have the bar or station to practice I'll just raise my arms up and down over and over making sure i engage my back muscles. I think there is a bit of disconnect with the mind utilizing back muscles. Just been so weak for so long but just seeing these small increment strength increases I feel really motivated to get strong enough to do an official pull up. Even with my farmer carries i get a real full grip on the weights as I walk back and forth changes the whole game. Thanks again!
I can promise you this works. I had a door jam pull-up bar. When i was in the army i could only ever get about 12-15 max. Got out a few years went by. Up and down on the scale. Quit drinking and got in shape. Got the pull-up bar. Couldn't get but 4 or 5. Started doing this. Every day. Often many times during the day. Even one or less than one was good but it had to be good form none of that garbage swinging pull-ups. I was sore for a good two weeks. Within 60 days i could do almost 20.
@@Lonelywarmsoul I'm assuming he wasn't training at all when out the army. Quit eating shit, maybe was in the gym but focusing on weight loss and then tried his pullups and realised he wasn't as good as when he was in the army (to be expected) then adopted thus method
Yeah that's what will make women ask for a man's number lol that's funny. I have forearms the size or maybe bigger then bowling pins and I'll tell you right now that's not at all what women notice or even care about. First is your upper arms,then chest and back. Having them nicely developed will get a girl to look your way before any forearms would.
Same, I’ve gotten to the point where my back gives out way before my fingers and I just dead hang after I’m done till my grip gives out. It’s actually been so helpful in my climbing.
Putting the weight on your fingers is a great forearm workout and isolates tendon strength. Checkout rock climber workouts. We put all of our weight on a couple fingers sometimes
Rock climbing exercises are also extremely dangerous unless you have developed the tendon strength for them. Hang boarding is recommended until you have been climbing for at least 6 months regularly and campusing is usually something you shouldn't bother with until you can climb v6 at least.
@@justinsmith3981agreed, climbers workouts need a sound physical foundation to do without injury. ਯੂ ਸੀ alot of climbing tendon issues/injuries from ppl pushing too far early on
I wish I knew this during my time in Marine Corps. Ive only ever did pullups with the fingers. Wow, this would made it so much easier to get a perfect 20 pullups. The way I was taught and did it for 20 years, was exhuasting and took 2x longer to reach 20. The hardest part is maintaining 20. Ill use this in my post military work outs. No longer concerned about a certain score, just want to maintain figure and health. No longer concerned about running fast (although it is a welcomed side effect). Im now more concerned about effort/ distance. I only need to burn energy. Post military life is way more sedentary in comparison.
I cannot do even one pullup at this point in my life and even though its not as glamorous I do negative pullups where I start at the top and go down slowly. Its still a great workout.
@@ZurroundLift. I pulled my right lat today trying to do pull-ups. I can do 1-3 chin-ups now only because I started doing bicep curls, but pull-ups are harder because we're (probably) attempting to do an excercise with muscles we either do T have or haven't developed. In my case it's the forearm muscles.
I have to-do pull ups on a small edge of wood in a shed most of time, so whenever i get to a bar i feel way different and its alot easier. This video just explained why😂
I do like finger pulling because that's extra grip strength, I don't care about reps, I want a powerful grip and a bigger/straighter back but I appreciate the tip
The doorway in my bedroom has a large lip on the frame that I can grip and hang from and do pull ups on. I can only do 3 or 4 off of that vs 7 or 8 on a pull-up bar
Don't forget to tell them that this will overload muscles on one side and can give you tennis elbow. It's easier because ur relying on tension on the connective tissue instead of muscle. Will give you elbow problems if you don't do it right. I use angle 90 grips to make sure my forearm is balanced. Yes, harder, but that because you're using muscle instead of relying on connective tissue for grip.
My right wrist and fingers started hurting and feel numb. Als the nerves in my left arm hurted. Today I gripped as shown in the video. Nothing hurted anymore and I could go higher with my Pull Ups. Absolute good video 👍
@@Lonelywarmsoul from Training. It started after doing some hard Decline Push ups. But I mostly feel it while pulling up now. But the trips in the video helped
Thank you very much ! For helping people to heal their bodies. I got a back pain from moving furniture, pianos, other heavy items. Your video give me a possibility to fix my back and joints
So mcgill still doesnt say a 'full grip' involves a flexed wrist. Its just about stability and commitment to the lift. The leverages in your wrist dont matter because its not actually doing an6 lifting, your back and biceps are.
@@Lonelywarmsoul think about if you only did squats on your tip toes. It may help you with quad activation, but you are also wasting energy contracting your calves, which the energy could be better allocated to more effective muscles that actually move the weight, ie. Glutes. Unessecary flexion and extension may not cause injury, but it's definitely not optimal.
finally seeing someone talk about this, for over half a year i felt it mostly in my forearms and i think it was much harder to progress. not to mention found no one talking about this really hope this gonna help me THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!
@maxgamesst1 unfortunately yes :( dislocated it once, and it's never been the same. That was probably 6 months ago, and it's dislocated twice since then. Doing basic things that shouldn't dislocate a shoulder
@@RaysOfPivot You've overstretched your ligaments. This happened with my collarbone. Dislocated it, and then I kept doing it weekly or more doing simple things like pushing to get out of the bed. What my PT told me was to literally NOT dislocate it anymore, because each time I did I restretched the ligaments and prevent them from tightening back up (thanks doc! How much for that advice!). It's dumb, but you need to be HYPER aware of what you doing and completely prevent anything that might slip it out of place for months while the ligaments slowly tighten back up. I'd also go see a professional to get additional strengthen exercises, and to make sure you don't have any lasting damage from the initial injury. Not saying you need to worry that you do, but just want you to be safe instead of listening to some rando on the internet ;)
@@Blaisem You can do as you please. What works for one person does not work for another person. The grip he is executing is the false grip which is used on Muscle Ups and Gymnatics Rings exercises.
Is anyone out there under the impression that you're supposed to do pull-ups with only your fingertips??? Like, OBVIOUSLY you grip it as hard and as completely as you can
Judging by me and other climbers never having such problems yall should start training finger strength. Rule of thumb: The worse your grip is you can still do the exercise with, the better. 😂
Surprised by the comments. I always thought just doing pull ups a few times you will naturally find the right grip so it’s not something people have to think about. I’ve seen hundreds of people learn pull ups and this was never a thought.
You may want to look into some wrist mobility exercises that you can do to warm them up properly. If the pain is quite serious you would be better off just keeping them in a neutral grip and focusing your hang from your fingers which will take some getting used to and is slightly more dangerous, but in the end will give you some insanely strong fingers
Your forearm strength needs to be so good to do this grip that I'm sure anyone who can do it is already pretty good at pullups. So pretty much useless advice
It's a good tip, but it's hard to do if you don't have much wrist flexibility. Honestly, as someone who indoor climbs, I prefer finger strength over wrist mobility. Not that you can't have both, but I don't really have grip issues on pull-ups. Rather, I need more back and tri strength.
It's called a false grip and unless you're double jointed or more flexible in the wrist than the average person, it's something you'll have to work toward.
False grip is where you are hanging from your wrists, difficult even on rings. But this is absolutely brutal to do on a straight bar. This video is showing an intelligent adjustment on a person's standard grip.
@WarmPillowForever hollow hold is a basic posture on bars/rings/parallel bars. You have to maintain that posture throughout whatever exercise you're ....as long as you're upright position . Levers has to be straight
The over hand pull up grip is actually used for muscle ups and should be used if we want to fully engage our back muscles when going pull ups. It’s a simple technique yet ignored by the vast majority of people.
Shout out @professor.pullups for the awesome opening stitched video, @backfitpro & @briancarroll1306 for their demo of the McGill pull-up method!
Do you pay them to use their content?!
@Sorryn0tsorryxo does anyone pay people for stitching vids???
This guy gave acknowledgement. That's often all they ask
That first tip puts more strain on the elbow tendon, from my experience, and increase chance of tendinitis.

basically transferring stress to the wrist instead of fingers
Is that the guy from the king of queens?? 😅
I like using only finger strength because it trains grip
My pull ups exploded when I started doing McGill pullups. Unbelievable for me.
Interesting. But doing only one or two reps... for learning the concept it's surely helpful.
Thank you
Just keep in mind this can really put a new kind of strain on your elbows if you're not used to it.
Do both but as a rule of thumb never do a lift the easy way the difficult way is where the gains live 😂 I can give you 20 either way
So no failure everyone speaks of

If the pain is quite serious you would be better off just keeping them in a neutral grip and focusing your hang from your fingers which will take some getting used to and is slightly more dangerous, but in the end will give you some insanely strong fingers
Your forearm strength needs to be so good to do this grip that I'm sure anyone who can do it is already pretty good at pullups. So pretty much useless advice
It's a good tip, but it's hard to do if you don't have much wrist flexibility. Honestly, as someone who indoor climbs, I prefer finger strength over wrist mobility. Not that you can't have both, but I don't really have grip issues on pull-ups. Rather, I need more back and tri strength.
But big guy did them they way you said not to. His knuckles werent pointed up to sky. I dont understand.
Even Jimmy McGill would be impressed
Unfortunately most pull up bars are too thicccc so the finger technique is inevitable for me
This is actually hella informative! Always have had an issue with grip
Me too
Now if I could only not hurt whenever I grab something 😢
Fantastic advice. Many thanks. I was unaware of this principle. Cheers from Newport Beach, Ca.
Dude at the beginning of the video is that white house in Belmont Massachusetts? Because I think I painted that house
Proper form is everything.
Yeah. I've definitely been doing them wrong my whole life.
It's called a false grip and unless you're double jointed or more flexible in the wrist than the average person, it's something you'll have to work toward.
False grip is when your wrist rests on the bar, which results in the hand being even more over the bar than here.
It’s just hard if you have smaller hands too. Small hand size makes all grip techniques a lot more difficult
False grip is where you are hanging from your wrists, difficult even on rings. But this is absolutely brutal to do on a straight bar.
This video is showing an intelligent adjustment on a person's standard grip.
Pointless video
I dont think so
No

Your opinion is pointless
Read your bible! (KJV, preferably) ♥
Might wanna watch out for golfers elbow with a grip like this though.
This channel is incredibly knowledgeable and i love it
Pulling like that hurts my elbows
I'll stick with a neutral grip
Still waiting for the sets of none training program...
I thought this was obvious . I would add posterior pelvic tilt with straight legs feet pointed in front of you aka hollow hold . Keep practicing..
Isn't *Hollow hold* an abs exercise?
@WarmPillowForever hollow hold is a basic posture on bars/rings/parallel bars. You have to maintain that posture throughout whatever exercise you're ....as long as you're upright position . Levers has to be straight
the autistic grip is why i have grip strength. it is not a bad thing
This is such a good tip. I hurt my forearm by letting my hand slide on the bar until Inwas only gripping it with half my fingers. Big mistake!
If you curl your fingers too much youll get golfers elbow
As a rock climber, I do fingertips to train my crimp endurance and knuckles up for powerful movements
It is harder, but I’ve trained for 4yrs no callouses or tears.
Training finger grip makes more advanced moves possible.
The authority on pull ups are gymnasts.
Careful of golfers elbow with that grip
I've been doing it wrong for 6 years 💀
I’m trying this ! Thanks ❤
The over hand pull up grip is actually used for muscle ups and should be used if we want to fully engage our back muscles when going pull ups. It’s a simple technique yet ignored by the vast majority of people.
It’s especially needed when doing a slow muscle up on the bar
