  • I get so many questions from you guys on how to do pull ups or how I got good at pull ups.
    ▶️ Full video with all the details is here:
    • how i learned pull ups...
    ✨TikTok - @junagjata
    vm.tiktok.com/ZMe3PNAag/
    ✨IG - @theofficialjuna
    theofficial...
    So these are the three things I mastered to go from 0 to 6 pull ups over the course of the past year.
    1. Scapular Retraction - pulling your shoulder blades down at the bottom of a pull up to recruit your back for the movement. You can practice these on a bar, on the ground, or with the lat pull down machine (full details in the full youtube video linked above)
    2. Banded Pull Ups - I would start with a band, and once I could do 4 sets of 4, I would move to the next thinnest band until I was using the absolute thinnest.
    3. Slow Negatives - jumping up to the top of the bar, slowly lower yourself down. the slower you lower, the harder. If you can do a REALLY slow lowering, you can do a pull up.

    I’m a pole dancer but I have arms like twigs, and I know pull-ups will help me greatly! I put myself off really learning pull-ups because it felt easier to believe I didn’t ‘look the part’. This breakdown is really inspiring though and all I can say is that everyone’s bodies look different - it’s not always what you look like but what you can do. I don’t know why people are asking about your weight, rather than commenting solely about your amazing strength!

    @gthicks006 10 місяців тому

    Good job, really impressed with you doing strict pulls no jumping or kipping. Also a pull up exercise that increases your ability is something called a frenchie which is like negatives but you go full up down a quarter up down half up down three quarters up and down fully then up. Slow and controlled. I also find it easier or less fatiguing to focus on the lower back when doing pull / chin ups instead of the scap or delt. And the scapular retraction down your back and close in is key for all lifts not just pull ups and lat pull downs; this is a helpful tip in deadlifts, bench press, and shoulder press as well as all free weight lifts. Keep up the good work, hoping to see 12 pulls in year 2.
