Happy New Year everyone! My top goal for 2019 is to read 50 books... what's your #1 goal? Anyway timestamps are below as usual. Enjoy! 0:17 - Target muscles and joint actions 0:50 - Why is the pull up SO good? 1:34 - How heavy? How many reps? 2:35 - Setting up the pull up 3:00 - What grip is best? 4:13 - Execution of the pull up and training cues 5:44 - Common Errors 7:50 - 30% discount on my Back Hypertrophy Program! (jeffnippard.com/backhypertrophyprogram)
Great video as well. It's important to mention that not everybody will be able to do chinups (supinated grip) because of the unnatural wrist position and valgus at the elbow because of their anatomy. Some gyms have angled chinup handles which could work though
Jeff Nippard Goal it to read 30 books and hit 225lb bench for three. Keep up the quality work Jeff. I really look up to you and your friends. You deserve all the success that’s coming your way.
I've been doing pull-ups for almost 4 months now. I could never feel my lats much, it was all in my forearms and biceps. I tried the cue of pulling the bar apart as you go up and I felt an amazing contraction in my lats. Thank you Jeff.
@@GDino33 try this cue or you can try to arch your back more while doing pull-ups or you can try assisted pull-ups with bands or the machine in the gym to develop strength and mind muscle connection then start doing bodyweight pull-ups. All these have helped me.
Watching you over a year now. You still present the most clear and concise videos on multiple subjects without the obnoxious false personalities to try and relate to subscribers. The love of fitness and the need to share valid information comes through in each video. Thanks keep them coming!
The only cat on UA-cam who backs up his training with science and 100% technique. Best body building training on UA-cam hands down. Worth the subscription alone & his material that you buy f'ing works! Thanks Jeff.
Technique Tuesday is one of the greatest things to come from UA-cam Fitness. No one appreciates it enough. Having a complete series of virtually every exercise you need to build muscle and strength is invaluable. If you find the series and trust it, you don’t need to waste time jumping around to a bunch of different videos on form that all have different cues and even different mechanics. Thank you Jeff
Been doing pull ups for a while now. I always start my back and biceps workout with pull ups. The results after 8 weeks is quite amazing. Great video as always. Thank you Jeff
The production and educational values of these Techniques Tuesdays are AMAZING. Thanks for always providing amazing content for your audience. Cheers mate!
This guy is the only fitness UA-camr that I trust. He sounds like a doctor or a university professor but can actually back it up with both research and physical proof. Subscribed.
I've been going to the gym for almost 2 months(from skinny-fat to fat then now im not sure but i feel stronger and leaner) and yes it was so difficult for me to even do 2 pull ups at first. so i just keep progressive overload for my back using the lat pulldown, deadlift, seated cable row. and i finally did it yesterday. I did 5 reps for 3sets yesterday. That feeling of achieving your goals is just fantastic. P/s that's just my back routine. I do target all body parts. just that pull ups is always my number 1 enemy. So just keep grinding and you'll see results. with the help of TRUSTED UA-cam instructors of course like Jeff.
It was my first time attempting to do a pullup today let alone a wide grip pull up because i want to develop my lats. I could only do 5 reps for 2 sets then i did 3 reps for 3 sets i just kept on going cause i couldn’t believe how hard it was, I expected it to be easier so i was frustrated, I’m in bed right now and my back is screaming at me, it’s like I didn’t know i had a back until now. I didn’t realize that doing rows only was not enough for my back. I can’t wait until i can do 8 reps of 3 sets, that’s my short term goal.
@@vrnvorona i only have a pull up bar, I figured a way to to assist myself by slightly tapping my foot on the ground for boost, it works. I can now do 8 wide grip reps and 10 neutral.
I used to do pull-ups with no problem before, but now I couldn’t do it without the assistance machine. Thanks for showing me it’s okay to use that until I get strong enough to use my body weight.
Dan Don ; somehow I kinda screwed up my shoulders from doing some other exercise (I couldn’t pinpoint out which one), so now I have to start over again with the pull-ups.
@Dan Don We definitely are big fans of pull-ups. I often would try to plug them into my client's programs where possible and would help those who couldn't do them build up to it. We often promote them on our channel too from time to time. I obviously still utilize many different dumbbell and barbell back exercises, but the pull up has become a staple for me and I did notice that my back and lat development tracked fairly well with my improvement on pullups. I also happen to find it an incredibly efficient exercise for ppl who are looking to get the biggest bang for their time in the gym.
Hello Jeff Nippard . I wanted to say that you are by far my favorite youtuber for raw knowledge and fitness advice/information. You dont try to sell bs supplements or try to force your products on us. you take the time to shoot the form videos and explain the science behind each and every movement and why we use them. I have lost 288 lbs since feb 26, 2018 and i own alot of it to your videos to be honest. Your a inspiration to the fitness community and i wish others would follow your lead on how info should be shared. thank you
Great point about overloading the pullup, and one that I think a lot of ppl forget. Definitely noticed some serious improvements once I started trying to add load to my pullup, and after that, standard bodyweight pullups started to feel easier and easier.
These tips on form were so helpful for me, particularly leading with the chest. This has immediately helped with shoulder-clicking issues I was experiencing. Thanks Jeff, love your channel.
There's nothing new in these videos for me, yet I still watch most of them. Really says something about the quality. Keep it up Jeff, the work you put in really shows off
he's the best person to get advices from jeff is so knowledgeable with some great editing skills and he's got the ability to explain things clearly and making it easy. thats why he's my favourite. keep uploading man, i keep waiting for ur vids :D
Hey Jeff, loving the videos always helping me progress! Video suggestion: Joint strengthening. One of my concerns is the effects of heavy lifting on my joints and I’d love to actually strengthen them, it would be interesting to see your scientific approach to joint strengthening through exercise and diet.
The study cited at 1:12 - which finds similar activation in lats, but more in biceps, is comparing lat pulldowns with *chinups* not *pullups* . And chinups are known to involve biceps more than pullups.
not saying it's bad, just that random chicks on the ellipticals don't know the difference. likewise, out of shape people can't do a single one or barely one... but if you took that 140 lb kid and strapped an extra 70 lbs on him, he wouldn't fair so well either lol
Kyle Judkins tbh a lot of those little guys are really strong with added weight as well, most of them love doing pull-ups so they get really strong at them
Holy Jesus!! Your advice on breaking the bar in half worked like a charm! I was able to crank 2 extra reps and I got the nastiest pump ever from pull-ups!! YOU ARE THE MAN JEFF!!!
I honestly believe you are the most knowledgeable fitness person on UA-cam. I feel like you could change so many peoples way of life. Keep up the good work bro!

Jeff! Man, your videos have become my favorite on UA-cam. The quality is great, the information is spot on. The best thing is, most of your videos I never have that feeling of "get to the point." It's excellent content man.
I’m focusing my content on training at the moment. From what I can tell 99% of the people nagging me for this cholesterol video are already vegan and already convinced dietary cholesterol is the devil. They won’t have their minds changed so it feels like it wouldn’t be the best use of my time. The whole vegan gains fiasco left a bad taste in my mouth and I’m not feeling motivated to make nutrition related content since it just causes such an uproar every time I touch it. I’ll eventually cover it again but since this is my channel, I’ll decide when I feel ready for a shit storm again.
@@JeffNippard that's probably a smart business decision and it is yours to make. Hopefully with all the interest around the topic more conclusive research will come out in the near future.
@No Name It is very normal to be confused by this topic. As Jeff alludes to below, the majority of well-performed research shows that there is little-to-no correlation between overall cholesterol levels and cholesterol in food. Our cholesterol levels, as human beings, are dependent upon our high-density-lipoprotein and low-density-lipoprotein levels. Triglycerides also have some affect on our cholesterol, but as you can see, none of these three things are cholesterol found in food. A good example of this is found in the consumption of shrimp. It is seen by almost all R.D.s I have ever spoken with as very healthy, even though it is high in cholesterol. One easy way to think of this is: LDL = Lousy Cholesterol HDL = Happy Cholesterol LDLs are affected by body fat levels, food quality, and habituation. HDLs are affected mostly by being active. Food consumption does have effect on our total serum cholesterol levels, but this is mainly due to its effect on our body composition... not because of the cholesterol found in it. Hope this helped!
I love how he puts on a backwards hat a pair of beats headphones when he wants to show the broscience way of doing things. Technique Tuesday videos are amazing btw. thank you.
Mario Camarena yes of course. Bodyfat% is a key factor to doing many reps of pull ups. My bodyfat% is about 8% but my friend has a higher bodyfat % and he still can do about 13 reps of pull ups.
1. Inverted rows on Australian pull-up bars 2. Resistance band under your feet for assisted pull-ups 3. Jump up and hold at the top with very slow and controlled eccentric. 4. Start doing real pull-ups. Keep doing these in reverse order once you are capable of 1-2 proper reps. Once you can do 5-7 reps, I suggest just doing sets of regular pull-ups and finish the last few reps with Jump and controlled eccentric.
I did as many pull ups as I could then put on 75kg on lat pull down and continued on from there. This way I was able to get 15 reps total each time. Every week I was able to get 1 more rep in pull ups and 1 less in pull down. Once I didn't increase reps in pull ups I increased the weight by 5kg in both exercises and repeated. this I did til I had 20kg extra in pull ups and 95kg in lat pull down. And now I can do 5 reps with 50kg extra at 97kg bw 18-20% BF. I only did 1 pull up session per week, while I did 2 time per week deadlift and various other back exercises. I also did biceps only 1 day a week on the same day I did pull ups. And it took quite a few months. My issues was way to much forearm activation but once they adapted I no longer felt it in the forearm. So I assume you build strength and endurance much faster in forearms than lats and other muscles. Thanks for reading, hope it helps.
The only thing that I could not understand, was why you have not millions of subscribes. Seriously guy, you have a magnificent channel and a great teaching. Hugs from Brazil
I exhale on the exertion and inhale on the re-set (for all exercises). So for a pullup, breathe out steadily while pulling up, breathe in steadily while lowering yourself.
What Not To Do At a Stoplight for bench press when you exhale while lifting the weight up you get a better contraction and when you breathe in at the bottom you get a better stretch. For back you inhale while pulling yourself up so you can expand your chest thus contracting your back and at the bottom you exhale so you can stretch your back.
I noticed you have really good seperation between your posterior delts and medial delts, whenever i try to isolate the posterior deltoid i end up feeling it in my back more... any tips?
Yeah, extend your arms foward and not squeeze the back so much doing say band aparts. focus rolling shoulders forward instead pull back and focus on delts. A technique but typically. doing a double bicep facepull does the work.
Tamás Vaski relax your shoulder forward and round them over a little, seems counter intuitive but it works. Think about keeping the scapula still and only moving the humorous, a lot of the time the mid traps will take over
Yo as a biologist who likes the gym your's are my absolute favorite videos. They are always so well made, helpful, well researched and informative. Thank you.
@J. St that range of motion is this the most useless range of motion in the sports world. Crossfitters and being clueless yet condescending, name a better duo
@J. St understandable, however, even with developed muscles, I can almost assure you, it's dangerous. You said it yourself, crossfitters do it as a form of 'cardio', so, as with any exercise, doing it for tons of repetitions will inherently lead to form break, because they take it to muscle failure most if not all the time, at least in competition in this case. When that happens, the joints will be vulnerable, and specifically for this exercise, the shoulder will be extremely vulnerable, and there's plenty of empiric evidence that show how bad is momentum and abrupt hanging for the shoulder. I think the exercise is simply not worth it.
Nice to see you included the research about the mind-muscle connection to the instructions. You do a great job communicating scientific knowledge in a practical way.
You seem like a really nice person and very happy pursuing your passion. Living the dream! Greetings from Switzerland (but originally from Winnipeg lol)
I've been doing high volume pull-up training over the past few weeks, working my way from 2 complete reps to 8 per set. 1-2 sets daily and 5-6 on back day. I can see and feel the difference. Great video, great narration, as always. Thanks!
@Dan Don The number of reps I can do per set, the number of sets I can do before being completely exhausted, the range of motion (I had trouble bringing my chin over the bar in the beginning. Now I go a good 5 cm above (2"). Also, my back got wider.
Man, while I have some concerns with your technique in a couple of these videos (purely from my own anecdotal experience based on my genetics, weaknesses, injuries, all that stuff; not because your technique is bad), they are so well done and so incredibly easy to understand. They're structured in ways that make sense if you're trying to learn something. Rather than just a dude rambling aimlessly about form and technique in front of a camera, this seems scripted. Cheers for all the hard work. Looking forward to seeing the whole series.
Excellent point at the end. In the beginning, I couldn't even do push-ups so I avoided them. The lock down has made me realize just how important it was that I learned to do pull-ups and push-ups.
Always appreciate your videos amigo, it just so happens I aim to get my pullups going crazy this year so I appreciate this as a great start to the year for me! Cheers from Ottawa!
Really amazing work jeff, 30 hours a video thats dedication, and the effort pays off because these are the best technique gym videos on the internet. I hope your programs are selling well and your making the money you deserve, much respect from me, once im done your PPL program Ill purchase another.
I do calisthenics and I know many have trouble with the grip at the start. So the best technique for that is to imagine that you are trying to bend the bar, this works great.
I love pull ups. do em everyday. this is the best video on the subject. good job bro. you really know wt you're talking about. keep em coming in the new year. pull ups are one of the best if not the best upper body workouts.
@ 1:05 that chart is comparing lat pull-down vs chin-ups, not pull-ups. That's why there's significantly more activation of the biceps in the "pull-up" (actually a chin-up) than the lat pull-down.
@Dan Don I do actually. Mostly, my shoulder width appears wider. Most importantly, I feel lighter. That's what I like the most about Pull Ups, they give you the strength to carry your own weight. At least imho. I'm more towards the square type of body like Scott Herman (ScottHermanFitness) and pulls have definitely helped me out with looking more towards the V type of body. I do 3 sets of 6-8 reps with 10 to 15lbs on my Pull days; straight body all the way and focusing on me lowering the weight and not just dropping. On my full body day, I do Pull Downs with around 150lbs and it helps me gain strength for the pull ups.
When you showed the research comparing pull ups and lat pulls downs that was actually chin ups... Which makes sense why it worked the biceps to a greater degree...
Pull ups are great! I love to do calisthenics and weighted calisthenics. Really awesome video Jeff! In my opinion you are the best fitness channel or at least one pf the best. Really underrated channel. You deserve so much more subscribers!
Great video Jeff. This is a must do for me on back days. Its good that you mentioned that we shouldn't avoid highly effective movements just because they are hard. I find that a lot of people do avoid exercises like the pull up simply because they can only do 1 or 2 reps. If they only work on it, those reps will increase over time.

I was watching the video and thinking the same, the study refers to chin ups, wich put a higher degree of stretch in the lats than a pull up.
Most bodybuilders don't want to do pull ups because they're embarrassed at how little they can do.
because some 140 lb kid can do like 20 while they can barely do 4 in a row
not saying it's bad, just that random chicks on the ellipticals don't know the difference.

Find a bar that you can hang from without having your feet touch the ground
Dont jump up to bar, use elevated surface to grip bar without momentum
Grip 1.5x outside shoulder width
(alternatively, make 90-degree angles with your arms and straighten them out to find grip width)
From dead hang, depress the shoulder blades and slightly point the chest up towards the bar while imagining pulling your elbows down into your back pockets
End the pull with your elbows being as close to your sides as they possibly can, as well as having your head be over the bar
Squeeze glutes to keep the hips extended & legs at dead hang (to avoid leg momentum)
On the controlled way down, you should feel lats stretch and elbows move up and out
Can also think about pulling bar apart to feel lats more
-
Errors:
Lack of full ROM (head over bar & near dead hang at minimum)
Body English (swinging & lack of body solidity)
Awesome, great video. Muscle up episode? That would be cool

Are you still going to do a new video on dietary cholesterol? No hate, just confused about the topic with so much conflicting information.
Max Baker it would be interesting. I don’t know if dietary cholesterol increases bodys cholesterol levels.
I’m focusing my content on training at the moment. From what I can tell 99% of the people nagging me for this cholesterol video are already vegan and already convinced dietary cholesterol is the devil. They won’t have their minds changed so it feels like it wouldn’t be the best use of my time. The whole vegan gains fiasco left a bad taste in my mouth and I’m not feeling motivated to make nutrition related content since it just causes such an uproar every time I touch it. I’ll eventually cover it again but since this is my channel, I’ll decide when I feel ready for a shit storm again.
@@JeffNippard that's probably a smart business decision and it is yours to make. Hopefully with all the interest around the topic more conclusive research will come out in the near future.
Jeff Nippard I understand Jeff. Do what you gotta do👍🏻
@No Name
It is very normal to be confused by this topic. As Jeff alludes to below, the majority of well-performed research shows that there is little-to-no correlation between overall cholesterol levels and cholesterol in food.
Our cholesterol levels, as human beings, are dependent upon our high-density-lipoprotein and low-density-lipoprotein levels. Triglycerides also have some affect on our cholesterol, but as you can see, none of these three things are cholesterol found in food. A good example of this is found in the consumption of shrimp. It is seen by almost all R.D.s I have ever spoken with as very healthy, even though it is high in cholesterol.
One easy way to think of this is:
LDL = Lousy Cholesterol
HDL = Happy Cholesterol
LDLs are affected by body fat levels, food quality, and habituation.
HDLs are affected mostly by being active.
Food consumption does have effect on our total serum cholesterol levels, but this is mainly due to its effect on our body composition... not because of the cholesterol found in it.
Hope this helped!
I love how he puts on a backwards hat a pair of beats headphones when he wants to show the broscience way of doing things. Technique Tuesday videos are amazing btw. thank you.
Gotta admit it, I'm terrible at pull-ups, dunno if it's my back strength or technique, but I can only do two😖.
Any advice would be great, thanks guys.
Steve Parker you should add a resistant band to your pull up training so you could do more reps in a set and train your technique👍🏻
What is your bodyfat% ? Sometimes it is also a matter of body composition the less fat means less weight to pullup
Mario Camarena yes of course. Bodyfat% is a key factor to doing many reps of pull ups. My bodyfat% is about 8% but my friend has a higher bodyfat % and he still can do about 13 reps of pull ups.
1. Inverted rows on Australian pull-up bars 2. Resistance band under your feet for assisted pull-ups 3. Jump up and hold at the top with very slow and controlled eccentric. 4. Start doing real pull-ups. Keep doing these in reverse order once you are capable of 1-2 proper reps. Once you can do 5-7 reps, I suggest just doing sets of regular pull-ups and finish the last few reps with Jump and controlled eccentric.
This was absolutely the most intuitive breakdown of the pull up I've seen over the years. Great job bro!!
@Dan Don Lol def not. It was a legit training video. I've seen a ton.
I did as many pull ups as I could then put on 75kg on lat pull down and continued on from there. This way I was able to get 15 reps total each time. Every week I was able to get 1 more rep in pull ups and 1 less in pull down. Once I didn't increase reps in pull ups I increased the weight by 5kg in both exercises and repeated. this I did til I had 20kg extra in pull ups and 95kg in lat pull down.
And now I can do 5 reps with 50kg extra at 97kg bw 18-20% BF.
I only did 1 pull up session per week, while I did 2 time per week deadlift and various other back exercises. I also did biceps only 1 day a week on the same day I did pull ups. And it took quite a few months.
My issues was way to much forearm activation but once they adapted I no longer felt it in the forearm. So I assume you build strength and endurance much faster in forearms than lats and other muscles.
Thanks for reading, hope it helps.
Great experiment, mate!
Cheers!
I get trouble doing more than 5 pull ups in a row. Been stuck there for months and months. Have any tips for me?
The only thing that I could not understand, was why you have not millions of subscribes. Seriously guy, you have a magnificent channel and a great teaching.
Hugs from Brazil
can someone tell me how to breath properly during a pull up pls.
I exhale on the exertion and inhale on the re-set (for all exercises). So for a pullup, breathe out steadily while pulling up, breathe in steadily while lowering yourself.
@What Not To Do At a Stoplight I disagree, holding your breath is good sometimes as it gives your body more tension to push more weight
hold your breath for 10+ reps
What Not To Do At a Stoplight
for bench press when you exhale while lifting the weight up you get a better contraction and when you breathe in at the bottom you get a better stretch.
For back you inhale while pulling yourself up so you can expand your chest thus contracting your back and at the bottom you exhale so you can stretch your back.
1:07 this study compares Chin-ups vs LP, sure it will involve biceps more
2:58 why was that so funny
the best pull ups guide on the internet; perfect technique and progrssive overload explanation
6:11 😂😂😂😂😂 that's what everyone does after wrong pull ups.
Damit I can't stop loving your videos man, really thank you for such SUPER-QUALITY videos
I noticed you have really good seperation between your posterior delts and medial delts, whenever i try to isolate the posterior deltoid i end up feeling it in my back more... any tips?
Yeah, extend your arms foward and not squeeze the back so much doing say band aparts. focus rolling shoulders forward instead pull back and focus on delts.
A technique but typically. doing a double bicep facepull does the work.
Tamás Vaski relax your shoulder forward and round them over a little, seems counter intuitive but it works. Think about keeping the scapula still and only moving the humorous, a lot of the time the mid traps will take over
Thanks for the reply bruh
Egyptian Lateral raises and...-- Watch an AthleanX video on the best posterior should exercise.
It's legit an excellent move.
3:10 - Hands
3:18 -muscle activation
4:14 - pull up
When I see Jeff's back depressing under control I can't help but think of slow cooked tender pulled pork..... everything just falling off the bone
Yo as a biologist who likes the gym your's are my absolute favorite videos. They are always so well made, helpful, well researched and informative. Thank you.
Don’t let cross fitters see this lol
@J. St that range of motion is this the most useless range of motion in the sports world. Crossfitters and being clueless yet condescending, name a better duo
@J. St understandable, however, even with developed muscles, I can almost assure you, it's dangerous. You said it yourself, crossfitters do it as a form of 'cardio', so, as with any exercise, doing it for tons of repetitions will inherently lead to form break, because they take it to muscle failure most if not all the time, at least in competition in this case. When that happens, the joints will be vulnerable, and specifically for this exercise, the shoulder will be extremely vulnerable, and there's plenty of empiric evidence that show how bad is momentum and abrupt hanging for the shoulder. I think the exercise is simply not worth it.
Nice to see you included the research about the mind-muscle connection to the instructions. You do a great job communicating scientific knowledge in a practical way.
Yeah being 6'2 with long arms. It's hard to not have my feet touch the ground. Haha
I feel ya brah
@@Cuzjudd obviously.
@@SimmaChode oh really
I put four 5-gallon buckets beneath my garage pull-up station, thus raising the entire platform.
Dead hangs now an option.
Hooligan Tim I mean you said it’s hard to not touch the ground but as you said you can obviously bend your legs...
You seem like a really nice person and very happy pursuing your passion. Living the dream! Greetings from Switzerland (but originally from Winnipeg lol)
I've been doing high volume pull-up training over the past few weeks, working my way from 2 complete reps to 8 per set. 1-2 sets daily and 5-6 on back day. I can see and feel the difference.
Great video, great narration, as always. Thanks!
@Dan Don The number of reps I can do per set, the number of sets I can do before being completely exhausted, the range of motion (I had trouble bringing my chin over the bar in the beginning. Now I go a good 5 cm above (2").
Also, my back got wider.
This guys content is always ridiculously high quality.
Once again Jeff, you are the best on the internet at explaining anything on any topic! Can't wait for next weeks technique training video!
The editing in these is flawless
Thank you for suffering through lats soreness to bring us this video
TT is for sure my fav series you've done to date! Also your intro is siiiiiiick
Man, while I have some concerns with your technique in a couple of these videos (purely from my own anecdotal experience based on my genetics, weaknesses, injuries, all that stuff; not because your technique is bad), they are so well done and so incredibly easy to understand. They're structured in ways that make sense if you're trying to learn something. Rather than just a dude rambling aimlessly about form and technique in front of a camera, this seems scripted. Cheers for all the hard work. Looking forward to seeing the whole series.
Excellent point at the end. In the beginning, I couldn't even do push-ups so I avoided them. The lock down has made me realize just how important it was that I learned to do pull-ups and push-ups.
actually love the plan you have for making growth and progress from assisted to body weight to extra weight
Your video filmography quality has suddenly gotten significant better
Good one jeff. Your content is still useful after all these years. It doesn't feel like you upload just to keep them coming.
Out of all the how to do pull up videos Jeff still makes it seem new
Always appreciate your videos amigo, it just so happens I aim to get my pullups going crazy this year so I appreciate this as a great start to the year for me!
Cheers from Ottawa!
This is by far the best video on this topic I finally get how to do it right thanks to you
Really amazing work jeff, 30 hours a video thats dedication, and the effort pays off because these are the best technique gym videos on the internet. I hope your programs are selling well and your making the money you deserve, much respect from me, once im done your PPL program Ill purchase another.
I do calisthenics and I know many have trouble with the grip at the start. So the best technique for that is to imagine that you are trying to bend the bar, this works great.
I love pull ups. do em everyday. this is the best video on the subject. good job bro. you really know wt you're talking about. keep em coming in the new year. pull ups are one of the best if not the best upper body workouts.
@ 1:05 that chart is comparing lat pull-down vs chin-ups, not pull-ups. That's why there's significantly more activation of the biceps in the "pull-up" (actually a chin-up) than the lat pull-down.
Please keep this videos coming! Super concise technique descriptions
@Dan Don I do actually. Mostly, my shoulder width appears wider. Most importantly, I feel lighter. That's what I like the most about Pull Ups, they give you the strength to carry your own weight. At least imho.
I'm more towards the square type of body like Scott Herman (ScottHermanFitness) and pulls have definitely helped me out with looking more towards the V type of body.
I do 3 sets of 6-8 reps with 10 to 15lbs on my Pull days; straight body all the way and focusing on me lowering the weight and not just dropping. On my full body day, I do Pull Downs with around 150lbs and it helps me gain strength for the pull ups.
Nice. I had just been browsing nearly every pull up vid on UA-cam, and my mans hits me with this zest. Thanks Jeff
When you showed the research comparing pull ups and lat pulls downs that was actually chin ups... Which makes sense why it worked the biceps to a greater degree...
Pull ups are great! I love to do calisthenics and weighted calisthenics. Really awesome video Jeff! In my opinion you are the best fitness channel or at least one pf the best. Really underrated channel. You deserve so much more subscribers!
Great video Jeff. This is a must do for me on back days. Its good that you mentioned that we shouldn't avoid highly effective movements just because they are hard. I find that a lot of people do avoid exercises like the pull up simply because they can only do 1 or 2 reps. If they only work on it, those reps will increase over time.
Love your videos Jeff! I only usually watch female fitness UA-camrs but I love your style and content. Excellent work
Video of the year so far, mate!! Much love!
These are the best fitness videos on the internet.
very informative video!
awesome editing!
