3:09 Every single detail looks immaculate: ✅Straight legs. ✅Hollow midsection. ✅Engaged upper back. ✅Chin clears bar without neck extension. ✅Chest touches bar with each rip. ✅Elbows reach behind back with each rep. ✅Controlled full range of motion. ✅No swing or momentum. ✅Pause before each rep. The most sublime pull-ups I've ever seen. What a sight to see!
I trust these guys more than any trainers on the net. I'm an old man trying to be young again. I try to follow their routine like a young man but at times cannot, but their programs always shows an easier way to do the exercise that allows progression or an alternative. The key is being consistent.
Just when you think you know all you need to know. No wonder this channel has over 3m subs. Quality, concise, easy to understand content. I learn something every time I watch these guys...............
Everyone: Why one punch man's third season is not coming Me an intellectual: Because Saitama n Genos have started a UA-cam channel They r gonna hate this, probably
I've been doing pull-ups for 10 years and have never seen that explained so well. That'll definitely help with my technique and progress. Thanks a lot!
Funny coincidence. Filmed myself doing pullups just last night because I felt unsure about the particular way I seem to arch my back. Watched my own video 10 minutes ago. Still unsure. Decided to check some UA-cam tutorials, opened UA-cam, this video pops up on top, uploaded 25 minutes ago. They know ... :D
Thanks for explaining. I always did the hollow body version as I thought this is the only proper version. My lats are very well developed but upper back could be a lot better. Now I know what to do in order to change that. Cheers
Hi Scott. Inverted rows are a great starign point for you to build up to your first pull up. I recently posted an in- depth tutorial video on how to unlock your first pull up as a beginner. You might want to check it out. I think it could be a game changer for you. Keep it up, Scott 💪
@@scottessery100 it is important to also put your diet in line. i dont know whats your body composition, but in general, dropping some weight will lower the entry barrier for pullups.
Other guys feel like a UA-camr giving tips on how to do a specific exercise and their pros and cons But i don't know why you guys feel like my personal trainer that i hired for free Love your videos❤️❤️❤️
So it's not actually a "problem", rather, which muscle groups focus you want to train (and your own goals). For instance, L-sit pull-up is way harder than these two.
It is a problem biomechanically i'd say. The reason people do pull ups like this is because they're compensating for a lack of strength/mobility. It's important to be aware of these things so they can be actively corrected.
You're the best explainer. I really love how you give reasons by proper making free body diagrams of forces and pressure. I'm a physics guy, so that helps a lot.
This is my EXACT problem with pull ups for years now. Thanks for addressing it in such detail. I can pull 12-13 max for a set (pre-covid), but I can't quite get myself to the top with arched back, so bad that I thought it might be a mobility problem.
You've just described me mate. I suspect this is due to lack of scapular strength so I'm putting more emphasis on horizontal pull moves. Have you managed to sort it out?
@@naiyo87 my answer to that would be "sort of, but not really". I have enough strength to pull to my collarbone or possible 1 inch below that while imitating the arched back, but never quite to the chest. Personally I think it's probably a Rhomboid or Lats problem as I link my own problem towards the ability to perform that last squeeze, if you know what I mean. I would love to implement horizontal pull exercises as that balances out the back better anyway, but I only get access to a bar. You can certainly do better than me if you include horizontal exercises.
Do one set until failure with good form and tailor the others sets accordingly to that. Don't bother trying to hit the same number of reps in good form as you did in bad form... you probably won't.
But its not a bad version is it? hollow body pullup is also good, he explained that you want to do both. Hollow body for beginners while Arched back for mid to advanced athletes.
Me: rear delt press on the ground? come on that's to easy! Also me: lying on the floor trying to push myself up, but incapable of even lifting my upper body a centimeter of the ground
I just mix my grip in between sets: standard, close, wide. This hits all of the muscle groups I want, and I do these in between rest sets for squats. I love pull-ups, and as the video stated they are great for all fitness levels.
I appreciate this video! I was making my pull progression harder then it needed to be, not to round the shoulders whilst also trying to keep the hollow body. Now I know, I can choose, both are useful.
One of the most purely informative videos I've ever seen, which also manages to be entertaining through its use of images from many different angles, animation, and of course, a fascinating voiceover voice. Well done!
2:56 Ive always tried so hard to keep my shoulders retracted and chest out during the pull up but with little success because I thought I had to keep my body straight as well. Awesome video
This is the best I mean the BEST chanel which teaches calisthenics. I learnt the most from you guys. Keep the hard work!💪 And thanks a lot. (I'm thinking about buying the "complete calisthenics" program)
i did 5 of the arch back pull ups and it healed my forward head posture and cell phone hunch neck.... I've been to physical therapy a few times.. this totally fixed all my pinched nerves in my neck also perfect chest puff out posture. and it also fixed my pelvic tilt so my lower back is perfect!!! its a damn miracle
I remember FitnessFAQs made an instagram post showcasing this form and people were deadass saying that it was worse than hollow body pullups and that you'd injure yourself doing it this way.
Excellent video! I thought that I have to quit pull-ups all together after doing hollow pull ups for almost 35 years due to shearing forces on thoracolumbar fascia and almost constant back pain. With the arched pull up the paint completely disappeared. Thank you Alex!
imbalances ≠ injury cause There is no good definition of what constitutes an imbalance, and no evidence of particular pull up form to cause injuries. I agree that viarty of exercise selection is good both for performance and longgevity, and also can help to avoid or minimaze overuse injuries. Still, peaple are different and have different training goals therefore can train with different form/mechanics if appropiete volume and intensity is taken into consideration. Still a good video and great jon suggesting new movements that begginers can implement.
I'm truly super happy to see finally a real great explanation of how much arching the back affects the pull up because i couldn never manage to convince my friends that it's more effective 💪💪👍👍💯💯 I would love to see a video about another pull up detail that no one talks about well too : how much flairing elbows at the top affects the pull up. I see people who attempt high reps records flare their elbows and also when doing "phorm pull ups". But when i tried i couldn't feel my lats work well.
Super precise, clear and on point explanation. As always. I'm 40 and thanks to your beginner programme I was able to start calisthenics and improve in it without making injuries. All done by your example. You're the No. 1 Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
This is an excellent point that is no addressed enough. I used to do these completely wrong and felt excessive pain in my shoulders until I made this change
Great explanation on both points. It’s always interesting to see how different techniques create different muscle activation and how the pros and cons work out for them individually
yeah I switched primarily to the arched form of a pull up a while back. i feel it hits the lats much better, not just everything you mentioned in the video.
There is nothing wrong with a hollow-body pull-up. That is how I perform all of my pull-ups, and like you mentioned, it develops strength and skill for all the advanced variations you mentioned (such as L-sit pull-ups, rope climbs, and muscle ups). It’s also perfectly safe for your shoulders. Exercise isn’t completely about training specific muscle groups.
no need to discredit here. many people have weak lower traps and rear delts. this video is great education to prevent muscle imbalances or perform pull ups with already existing muscle imbalances.
@@brendanploeger1202 nothing I said was "discrediting" I simply listed the benefits of the hollow body pull-up. If anything, the video attempts to discredit it by claiming the arch back pull-up is the only "proper" way to do a pull-up.

However, the title of the video is "The BIGGEST Pull-up Problem" and within the first minute, he claims that rounding your back and bringing your shoulders forward is problematic, hence why my original comment starts with "there is nothing wrong with a hollow-body pull-up."

@@spencergsmith Fair enough too, I think only mentioning at almost the end that hollow body it´s not bad and making some claims at the start about it are pretty unfair
One simple tip i've learnt to help us to remember to arch our backs is to reach for the bar with our chest facing it. Helps especially during close to fatigue

I have a question, does the correct form of pull up that you guys show us in this video injure your spine or lower back? I mean, when I do pull ups with perfect form (like 2:03) I feel like I'm causing an arch on my spine and I don't know if that's good. Sorry for my bad english! Oh, I forgot to say that I have anterior pelvic tilt
Great video. This is the first time someone has addressed the pros and cons of the arched and hollow body pullup. One question - which is better for training the ring muscleup. Many articles on muscleups do not address which pullup is recommended. Thanks. All your articles are very informative.
I've been wondering about this and I I have been trying to do straight up pull ups (straight spine) and focus on form. After this video I am seriously reconsidering if I should arch my back but I wonder if that still applies when you do pull ups on rings since that is what I use almost exclusively for pull ups. Your videos are always super informative and I have learnt more on this channel than on any book, thanks!!
Ever since I've been doing this my back has developed a lot and I can spark 18 in a row. I rock climb so this is super important to have well-developed upper back that comes with proper pullup form.
Had a good conversation about just this thing at the gym with a body builder a few months ago. This is exactly what I usually tell to people, if I teach them how to do pull ups.
He is the guy in that human body chart our teacher used in schools.

I'm guessing this is why some people feel pain in their chest muscles from pulling up
Especially when it is sore from yesterday's push day

Hahahah. Right on!
Ever since I've been doing this my back has developed a lot and I can spark 18 in a row. I rock climb so this is super important to have well-developed upper back that comes with proper pullup form.

Had a good conversation about just this thing at the gym with a body builder a few months ago. This is exactly what I usually tell to people, if I teach them how to do pull ups.
Please do a video on gymnastic rings. I really struggle with my hand placement on exercises.
