Its the way the shoulder is designed. Retracting the scapula with the arms overhead more than 120 degrees prevents upward rotation of the scapula. This puts a lot of pressure on the acromion and can lead to shoulder impingement. Some people have enough space in the joint to get away with this but many do not. So thats it, above 120 degrees the shoulder needs upward rotation and not retraction, and under 120 degrees the shoulder blades can retract without hampering their ability to rotate as needed.
@@SgRecker Movement. Ever joint has a predetermined range of motion based off it's shape. The shoulder's design allows some movement without damage and some movement with damage.
@@moversodysseyheyyy I have a request... Could u make a video related to hip adduction and abduction? Good exercises are really hard to find, the only videos are related to the machines in gyms
@@moversodyssey The question was what it is specifically "designed" to do, not what it can do, too subjective of an answer to determine what the shoulder can or cannot do. Such comments without evidence only help to generate more misinformation
I ACCIDENTALLY discovered this exercise doing pull-ups on overhead bar fence just two weeks ago. With no room to move my head over/between the bars, I tried to move my torso from a vertical to a horizontal position as I pulled up. It gave me such a pump that I have never felt doing pull-ups for more than 20 years! It was a combination of rowing and pulling and a single complete back exercise. The neural grip of the bars had noticeable added benefits as well.
I had a similar experience with my pull-up bar I had fitted in a doorway of my hallway. I ended up climbing the hallway wall with my feet and settled horizontally (although It was kind of cheating with feet on the wall) . Great back pump tho!
I was very fatty, weak and lazy, trained with this channel for 4 months. I've already got 2 packs visible, very agile body, lower blood pressure, visibly lower body fat and good muscle tone. Got my Medical and Physical reports and my doctor said, " What is this magic!!" because I've improved so much. Thank you guys. I'll make sure to post my progress after one year and comment on a video that day.
I’ve very recently discovered that I could do 3-4 pull ups in a row and I was pretty happy with my current goal of reaching 10. Now I have a goal beyond my original one, and that is to master the Gironda pull up! Thank you
As I have gotten older, I have used Vince's teachings more and more. His 8X8 with 15sec rest has helped my triceps stay healthy and still get hypertrophy. Bicep curls using his method erased elbow pain, and I can totally see how this will benefit me and my wife, too. Thank you for keeping his teachings alive.
I just watched this, got off the couch and tried on the pullup bar in my house. I felt my sternum crack and relieve tension as I reached peak position. This is a good one.
You channel is a gift to many people.. I found your channel accidentally and it has benefitted me extremely.. My running has improved.. My shoulder problems are solved.. Man you are doing a fantastic service... God bless you man.. Loads of love and blessing to you for your success. I share your channel to anyone who asks for advice. ❤❤
It's great to hear that its been so helpful. It's what I hoped for when I first started it. Thank you for your comment and for sharing the channel with others!
@@petecabrina thing with Diaz brothers is that there weren't explosive fighters and used only aerobic capacity. Once their opponents got gassed out Diaz brothers started beating shit out them.
Been doing chin ups and neutral grip hollow body pull ups for years (I'm 67 years old) , now doing wide grip overhand lay-back hangs before work 5 days a week for a month. As I've strengthened this position, I've started to spontaneously pull up a little. Feels really good. I'm going to feel for retraction and depression and take a video to view how my scaps align during the hang and how they realign during the initiation of the movement. Thank you very much.
As a climber i've started doing weighted (around waist/ 30kg) pullups and my body arched by itself while pulling, later that year ive noticed front lever gains. I was able to hold it for a 3-4 secs, pretty epic for a 193cm in min 30s that was never able to hold it more than half a sec. For a record i can do 5 to 8 static muscle ups easily, hang on a rolling bar one min while doing pullups. But this arched position really unlocked that front lever contraction. Cant wait to try girondas 🥶🤯. Im so glad ive found this chanell, awesome work bro. New follower here, sending love from croatia. ❤
Great video. I love this variation. I've done arch back pull-ups before, and switched to them as my default with bands when I was trying to rehab myself. But I am now using rings exclusively (can't see myself ever switching back to bar!), and found myself naturally doing this pull-up variation as a progression when moving from passive to active hang to pullup. Something about the rings allow fantastic freedom of movement for my shoulders and grip. Delighted I've seen your video, as I'll make it a much more conscious exercise now.
you are the reason i bought gymnastic rings and you are the reason im about to buy kettle bells needless to say i have learned A LOT from you as i only train calisthenics
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm trying to learn to animate, it's just a long process. But hoping I get quicker at it in time. Felt it's what the channel needed next to keep improving.
They aren’t that easy either, they have an image of being cardio-endurance exercise of gazillion reps or something, but they are much more taxing than push-ups for example. They are about 150% of your pull ups rep count.
Yeah I used to diss em cuz they are easier than chins/ pulls but then I tried em.. whole different angle of course and not that easy. Try doing them upside down knees tucked no foot support.. now they are HARDER than chins/ pullups
I always do inverted rows because it's not always easy to find a great bar hang spot at a playground. But you can always flip underneath a kids slide or usually there are lower bars that can be used. I just randomly do this when I'm taking my dog to different parks. I like it because it's always a different angle. Also, it's easier than pullups and so can do a lot more reps, and I'm sure there's carry over to the pullup from doing inverted rows and dead hangs only. Inverted rows and incline pushups are my favorite compound set -- sort of half assed active recovery kind of day. Or if you're on a lighter week, etc.
By far the best calisthenics coach online, appreciate your knowledge helped me in gaining strength without being jerked, by just following some of your teachings here.
After watching your previous video, I was doing "perfect hang" and was wondering about pullup from that position. So, you talked about my question exactly in this video. Thanks!
Wow, I just started doing my pull ups this way as they were getting easier. I've seeing much more improvement in both strength and hypertrophy. Didn't even know it had a name so thanks for sharing this. Oh, and the production is insane mate!
Thank you for the rec, youtube algorithm! 😂 This looks very interesting. Of course I'm nowhere near this kind of thing anymore. Gotten very lazy with pullups over the last couple of years. But this is a good motivator. I want to get to the gym right now!
I just want to say that your channel is really precious. I am fascinated by movement, and I'm sure I'll keep watching these videos for the rest of my life.
Nice to see a Jack Lalanne quote. He was the first person on TV to have an exercise show, back in the late fifties I think. He used to do crazy stunts like pull locomotives, pull boats while swimming, etc. His name was synonymous with health and fitness for decades, but he is seldom mentioned now. I think he died at 96, only because he thought he could exercise his way out of an illness, instead of going to the doctor. Keep up the great work!
Wow! The Gironda Pull up 💫 Thank you. I needed to add this to my arsenal. My main area of focus is to build strength in my back and shoulders. This is perfect.
Lol. I got stuck at the arch pull up for 6 months before I could do this. When I started doing rows and pulling the bar to my abdomen it helped my progress a lot.
@@moversodyssey Interesting you say that. I tried this exercise and its much easier for me than a standard pullup. Probably because I do a lot of db bent over rows.
@@0xszander0 When I first tried an arched pull up it was actually because I noticed my son was doing his pull ups that way. Whereas I was doing them hollowed since I was a teenager. At that point I could do hollowed pull ups all the way to my sternum easily, but the first time I tried an arched pull up and couldn't get to the bar. It blew my mind how specific the adaptations were. Took me a while really get my back muscles engaged in a way that allowed me to do them. But now they feel easy. Definitely showed me how different the two types of pull ups are.
@ no sir ❤️ you make good videos, I like the suitcase carry and farmer’s carry video but you never released more advanced videos and that made me sad that’s all
I was invested in this as it said it was a good exercise for people with shoulder injuries. Then it described the bottom of the movement which is the dead hang. That’s where my shoulder hurts the most, so I’m back to square one.
I usually see dead hang pain in labrum tears or proximal bicep tendonitis. You can always start this from an active hang by using a bar thats short enough and see how it makes you feel. Though if you do have a tear or tendonitis you may want to scale down the intensity for awhile anyway. Maybe even look into adding isometrics and controlled articular rotations. Best of luck
Lol I have more or less been doing this on pulldowns, because I felt more lat activation this way and it felt better on my shoulders. Didnt know it already existed, Good knowledge never gets old!
Well, that's cool. I've been doing active hangs for some weeks now, as doing straight pull-ups didn't really fix my shoulders; at least, I've got a persistent twinge in one. I do some ring work pulls similar to your beginning stage, so I will try this technique on the pull-up bar and see how that works with my shoulders.Thanks for the excellent presentation.
OH WOW. I’ve been wondering where my elbow pain comes from. I can rock out 20 pull ups and rarely stretch my forearms. I need to do that more!! Thank you. This is life changing
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite fitness channels and so, when I watched this video when it came out I decided to give the gironda pull ups a go. Yesterday was my first time trying them and yes, they are great! I've never been super good at pull ups but I was surprisingly able to crank out a few sets of a few reps of them. I know I still have to clean up my form, because they were probably not optimal. Suffice to say, today I'm feeling some very nice doms all over my back from yesterday's workout. But one funny thing happened. After two sets I started to feel a funny sensation in one of my buttocks, almost like a very slight sciatica pain, and then I realized that as I was doing the exercise and allowing my spine to bend as the movement demands it, I was getting this same sensation mid exercise. After finishing with it, the "pain" went away in its own. But that was weird to say the least. What can I do to fix this? 🤔
Glad you're enjoying the channel! Sounds like you're getting a pinched nerve somewhere, likely in the lumbar spine. I would try to activate the abdominals while you do this exercise to take pressure off the lumbar spine. They don't have to be activated a crazy amount, just enough to support the spine. It may also be coming directly from the sciatic nerve getting pinched as well. If that's the case it would likely be from a tight piriformis. You could do a few good elevated pigeon stretches ahead of time and see if that helps. Best of luck!
Use to do them on the rings and high bar when I was in gymnastics. I'm seventy-six now but I can still do twenty-five chin-ups. I'm glad I saw this I will try it tomorrow and add it to my workout. Thank you.
I started doing these a few months back to develop my scapula for climbing, which was tearing up my shoulders. Excellent for pain management and a killer back workout as well…
Yup, I can confirm this one is a winner... Thirty years ago when I was weight training at my 'prime' (if there ever was one) I learned about this movement. Develops an amazing back thickness and strength (not so much for the lat width in my case). Egyptian bodybuilder Mohamed El Makkawy I believe did this exercise as well and his back was amazing. If ya'll don't know who he is and you're into bodybuilding, look him up, you won't be sorry!
This is so weird. I was thinking about how much I wanted to try a movement like this last night as I was falling asleep and then you published this today. Incredible. Thank you ❤
I have used this to an extent, with a torn bicep it is difficult to do, even with reduced weight you have to be very cautious with the arm and shoulder position. It does work the back very well!!
previously doing a lot of hallow hang pull ups in my training but have recently been focusing on Barbell compounds and a couple pull and push plate loaded machines, been thinking i should be doing more pull ups and front levers again. i will be working on these as i can clearly see benifits. great video
Been doing this ( just a tad less horizontal ) without knowing it was something , for a few months now.Had both shoulder opened up as well as left bicep reattached and this is the only chinup/pullup variation i can execute without pain ( i use rotating handles so more toward the semi chin up version ) Glad to see confirmation it is a good exercise for all of the back :) 👍👍
4:23 WHY NOT? Why not retract your shoulder blades before you are around 120° into shoulder flexion? Makes no sense and sounds arbitrary.
Its the way the shoulder is designed. Retracting the scapula with the arms overhead more than 120 degrees prevents upward rotation of the scapula. This puts a lot of pressure on the acromion and can lead to shoulder impingement.

Yup, I can confirm this one is a winner... Thirty years ago when I was weight training at my 'prime' (if there ever was one) I learned about this movement. Develops an amazing back thickness and strength (not so much for the lat width in my case). Egyptian bodybuilder Mohamed El Makkawy I believe did this exercise as well and his back was amazing. If ya'll don't know who he is and you're into bodybuilding, look him up, you won't be sorry!
I will definitely add these to my workouts.
Love this channel
This is such a good video ❤
Great videos keep em coming 👑
This is so weird. I was thinking about how much I wanted to try a movement like this last night as I was falling asleep and then you published this today. Incredible. Thank you ❤
I have used this to an extent, with a torn bicep it is difficult to do, even with reduced weight you have to be very cautious with the arm and shoulder position. It does work the back very well!!
previously doing a lot of hallow hang pull ups in my training but have recently been focusing on Barbell compounds and a couple pull and push plate loaded machines, been thinking i should be doing more pull ups and front levers again. i will be working on these as i can clearly see benifits. great video
YO LOOK WHO IS BACKK
Been doing this ( just a tad less horizontal ) without knowing it was something , for a few months now.Had both shoulder opened up as well as left bicep reattached and this is the only chinup/pullup variation i can execute without pain ( i use rotating handles so more toward the semi chin up version ) Glad to see confirmation it is a good exercise for all of the back :) 👍👍
