All solid progression models & advice that will help people perform their first full pull-up. 💪 I personally love & recommend the scapular retractions, negative pull-ups, & band-assisted pull-ups as some of the best ways to build the strength in the various muscles needed to perform pull-ups. Glad you also mentioned discussed improving grip strength, as I find that’s often the first limiting factor for many beginners that needs to be improved. Since pull-ups are directly related to a person’s strength to weight ratio, it can also helpful to slowly reduce any excess body fat through safe & healthy methods if someone is a bit overweight. Great video! 👍
Totally gonna show this to my wife. She's always been super intimidated by how hard a chinup/pullup is. I have a pair of rings for progressions. I know she can eventually do pullups, it's just a matter of convincing her that it's possible 😃 As a guy that's always had lat pulldowns as part of a gym routine, I've never had to worry too much about progressions as it was really straightforward for me to jump into pullups. But, that doesn't help me as a teacher as I didn't have that comprehensive learning process. I've never really worried about grip strength, but I know my wife will absolutely have to develop that.
Great explanations! I think there is a lot on the mental side of doing pulls and knowing they you really need to get strong and it takes time! Patience and hard work
I was doing the negative pullups when I first started & on the first day I pulled a muscle in my forearm and had to have 2 weeks rest from pullups I now use the bands to work up to it a bit slower
thank you for the great video, very glad to see you pull your self all the way up, see so many teaching to just get your chin over or to the bar, I find that very bad form. When younger could do 40 proper pullups pulling my chin well over the bar and doing them very slowly, that is what we called a proper pullup or chin up, none of just touching your chin to the bar. I am just recovering from a compression fracture on my spine. So starting all over at almost 75 you tend to loos muscle very quickly, if you do not use it. I am still having trouble getting down on the flat bench but it is coming, very painful the first time every work out, but after a few times not to bad. Again thanks for the great video and so glad to see you doing them right. I am hopping to be getting one with in a few months but might be dreaming, age makes a huge difference in recovery.
I maintain a BW of 210lbs year round and have longer arms. So I'm at a natural disadvantage with a bit higher BW and increased ROM. 😂 But despite all of that, I'm still a pullup junkie and do them regularly. I'm happy that I'm able to do them weighted and high reps with just my BW despite having harder circumstances. The key is doing them strict with chin fully over, pausing at the top, and slow negatives to full dead hang on each rep. Way too many people swing, goose neck their chin up, do rushed reps, don't go to dead hang, etc..
Hi Monica! Really any pulling exercises can help so even if you have bands or dumbbells you could do rows of some type. I also have a few videos showing how you can do bodyweight rows on a table if you have one (or chairs) which might help! x
The pull up bar at my gym is made for men (as all gym equipment is) so my small woman hands literally cannot grip with my thumb underneath at all. I can only assume it's making it even harder to achieve one for me! What do you think about the assisted pull up machines at gyms?
Love this video, it was so helpful and encouraging. It’s given confidence to know how and where to start. I can wait to buy a pull up bar and start my journey to doing a chin up. When I do start I’m definitely going to start a UA-cam channel and instagram page and credit you.
Thank you so much for this video! I really want to learn how to do pull ups again, so this helps a lot! I used to be able to do 1-2 pull ups some time ago, so I know it's doable, but pull ups are still really difficult to me compared to push ups.
Thanks for the tips!! After your last video on pull ups, this one has really helped me with choosing progressions/equipment because it is so detailed. On another note, I absolutely love your work space in the corner! Looks awfully comfy:) Also, I might start building a bulldog gear collection haha. Is there one bulldog equipment piece that you would say is the most versatile/useful to you?
Which pull-up bar would you recommend for indoor use? I’m on a budget and really want to work on my pull-ups!!! I love your channel, watching a fellow girl do callisthenics like a boss is super encouraging!!!!👏👏👏
Thanks for the motivation and tips! I’ve been working on pull-ups for about a month with a pull-up bar and resistance band. It’s definitely been a slow process. 💪🏻❤️
@@natileelipe7675 yess so frustrating but it just takes time and im going to stick it out! You can keep me updated on your progress for motivation if you want 😆
i love the video and the infor. however one thing to note is that you said that the bottom of the pulup is the hardest, wich is opposite of how it works. The bottom of the pullup is actually the easiest. That is why when you fatique you can still pull yourself up a few cm but you cant go up all the way. So the resistance curve of the bans is actually reverse of the strenth cuve. So in most cases bands are not actually that helpfull for pullups. With dips both the strenght curve and the resistance cuve match each other. So for pushing vertical push movment(and some horizontal pus like plahnch dipsh) it also helps. I usually tell beginners to train pullups 2x per week. 1e you do negative. second day focus on feet assisted pullups. With feet assisted pullups i advice people touse rings, because you can set up the hight of the rings to match the induvidual. For bars you need to have a box that mathces a persons height, wich does not fit most people.
You saying I am weird, cause I have a squat rack in my living room, I also have a iron man in my hall, and turned my kitchen into a weight room with bench press set up and a cable machine, and a flat bench along with lots of steel dumbbells, O, do not for get my dead lift bar in the hall. So I must be a super weirdo.
I've always found something immensely 'baddass' about folk who can do Chinups and Pullups. Perhaps this year, i'll begin my journey toward my first 1 of each. 😂 Of course, they'll be a lot of falling on my ass. 😂👍

Thank you so much, so glad you agree with all the progressions and accessories 🙌🏻
Thank you Lucy. I’m 6 months into my pull up journey. This was so helpful.
Pure motivation. Thanks for sharing

Absolutely love this! For sure if I can do it, your wife will smash it!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🤩

Oof I 100% agree! For me there is a huge mental aspect as I find it the hardest exercise 😅
Congratulations on your journey! You look amazing.
Aww thanks so much 💓
I’ve just started doing pull ups and find them very difficult 😮
I’ve been wanting to learn, but I was so lost on where to start! Thank you for this video!
Yay so happy it helps! xx

Any suggestions to strengthen those same muscles if you don’t have pull-up equipment?

Thank you ❤
Thank you!
THANK YOU! I've been wanting to try it but didn't know how to start!
❤❤ Good luck! x
Great content😁
Great advice. Thank you. ✌🏼️
Thank you Lucy

Same here, even with a really thick band which i thought would make it really manageable its still so so hard and slow!
@@45rrr676ggu I know! I bought the thickest band I could find and I still can’t do a full pull-up without jumping or bouncing. 😆
@@natileelipe7675 yess so frustrating but it just takes time and im going to stick it out! You can keep me updated on your progress for motivation if you want 😆
@@45rrr676ggu I’ll definitely try.
You girls have got this!! Even with the thick bands it can feel extremely hard when starting out. Keep up the good work, you'll both get there ❤
Great video, What happened to your dopamine necklace? I hope you didn't lose it.💔
Ahhh you noticed 🥰! I broke it and it's waiting to be fixed! I miss wearing it so much but hopefully it will be back soon ❤
What kind of pull band should I get?

Hey Lucy, what accent do you have? Are you from the UK?
She mentioned in the video she’s Australian
Thanks, Lucy, for your wonderful video, but why about 90% of this video you just talking and not to show more exercises?
I've always found something immensely 'baddass' about folk who can do Chinups and Pullups. Perhaps this year, i'll begin my journey toward my first 1 of each. 😂 Of course, they'll be a lot of falling on my ass. 😂👍
