  • If you can only feel pull ups in your arms, and you struggle to get the back to engage in pull ups, there are a few things that we can do to remedy this.
    Today we are going to go through how we can ensure we are feeling the lats during pull ups and make sure. The larger muscles are pulling their weight in this movement.

    im a 19 year old female who has been doing strength training for about the last 10 weeks and was getting really discouraged over not yet being able to do my first pull up. after watching your video, and then trying again, I realized I had the strength to be able go do one pull up this whole time! the tip about keeping your arms parallel to take the stress off the biceps changed everything. thank you from the bottom of my heart.

      I would recommend getting a v grip , often used for pull downs or a pair of rings , if you want to build your lats very young people or new trainers don't have mind muscle connection yet, which will come later, there will help ypu grow and force lat activation and isolation faster , plus both will require practice. With both, attach to a pull bar, fir then v grip attachment, just put it over the bar and it will cause close grip large activation of the kits through both the pull and release of the movement and the rings, well they speak for themselves

I’ve decided on the arch back. I’ll try to pay attention to my forearms as well. I’m also on a deadlifting journey as well. Thank you so much from this fanatical mountain biker.

    I am 5.5 (short🫠) and 50kg. I was underweight for many years so I have been trying to work out at home because I am too skinny and feel anxious to go to the Gym .. I have been doing pull ups and always wondered why my back never activated only my arms and shoulders felt the heat. Thank you for the video 👏🏻🤝🙏🏻🙏🏻

      that sucks!
      Gyms can really feel like intimidating places, and I'm sorry that you feel anxious about training there.
      While some gyms can be cesspits of toxicity, most gyms really are welcoming and full of some amazing people!
      Is training in a gym something you aspire to be able to do one day or do you prefer training at home?
      p.s. glad the video helped you with your pull ups!

    One small question if you don’t mind: is a arched back pull up also possible with rings? If so, how can I progress towards them?

    • @CaliToTheCrowd
      @CaliToTheCrowd  Рік тому

      Wow, thank you! that is very high praise!
      Hoping to keep this going for a very long time, so don't worry about me going anywhere =]
      In terms of arch pull up, yes you can, but it takes a bit more discipline. With the rings will wobble about and with a bar, it is very easy to know your target (get the chest to the bar).
      That being said, it's a lot easier than hollow body pull up on rings!
      With both, just try to record yourself to keep up a form check!
      All the best man!
