Make one for weighted pulls plz. Emphasizing technique especially. I am having trouble to engage my upper trap at the bottom making me go up slow and retracted.
@@ankitbishnoi4470 idiot, going up retracted means ur using primarily back muscles for movement. Upper trap engagement generates explosive power giving momentum to clear the chip making u lift more.
Just started actually working on my pull ups the past 3 weeks. I want to be able to work with weights on them. My pullups aren't where I want them yet lol. You released this at just the right time. 🔥🔥
Just tried these tips and christ I don't know what I was doing before but my back feels like its blowing up, I used to mainly feel forearm soreness after pull ups but with the wide grip and pinky cue my reps felt so consistent in engaging my back, thanks for the video, really came in clutch.
Hey Micha, vielen Dank für das ausführliche Video, sehr hilfreich! Kurze Frage bzgl. dem Ziehen mit dem Pinky... mir selber ist aufgefallen das ich in der linken Hand mehr Power habe beim Greifen/Ziehen als in rechten Hand, fühlt sich vom Gefühl auch sehr unterschiedlich an, wenn ich eine Faust bilde. Zudem habe ich auch öfters Verspannung im rechten Trizeps und im Bereich vom nervus ulnaris. Auch Rotatorendefizite in der Außenrotation hat mein Physio bei mir festgestellt. Ergibt das deiner Meinung nach Sinn, dass ich in rechten Hand damit schwächer bin? Sprich sollte ich an meiner Rotatorenmanschette arbeiten oder könnte das auch nach was anderem liegen? Will mir gerne deine professionelle Meinung dazu einholen. Vielen Dank im voraus!
Ohne genaueres Assessment würde ich da ungern Dr.UA-cam spielen. Wenn wir das machen, lass uns das in einem Coaching oder Formcheck Format richtig machen 📈👍🏻
It provides more chest wall expansion and so anterior to posterior rib cage expansion. Vertical pulling is pretty compressive (anterior to posterior), so in order to provide enough „compression range“ the chin up feels better for stiffs/wide ISA
@@MichaSchulz Thanks for replying! 🙏 I asked this because I think my lack of mobility might be the reason why my elbow pops in the beginning of the movement (shoulder flexed) when using supinated grip, since stiff internal rotators "try" to internaly rotate while the forearm can't move together because of the closed kinetic chain. I can flex my shoulder to about, say 160º.
Hey Micha, I was wondering why some weight cali athletes perform pull-ups over chin ups (Ludo, Pere, etc), to my knowledge most are stronger with chins correct? Is this a matter of different federations having different rules or certain individuals being stronger with a pull-up grip? Cheers
As far as my understanding goes, it has a lot to do with your body type. If you are a stiffer, wider rib cage chin ups/narrower grips will favor you, if you are a bit more narrow, better overhead mobility pronated, wider grip is superior. Exception will be always there if you have a long training history with a certain lift
losin weight and doin work towards my first pull up. ask me in a few months or so cus i've got a bit of weight to lose and even jumping negatives is hard for me atm.
Danke für die gute Erklärung! Ich hab das Problem das ich meine reps pro set zu erhöhen, kann aber in niedriger rep range Kilos bewegen. Würde es Sinn machen an Tag eins das ganze weighted zu machen? Sprich 3-7x3x10kg und in jedem neuen Block das Gewicht zu erhöhen. Am zweiten Tag normal die 3x6-8 um Volumen zu erhöhen. Steck seit einer Ewigkeit in dieser range fest
@@MichaSchulz seit ca 3 Monate ist Stillstand bei max 7 reps.

Was spricht dagegen die Sätze an Tag 1 erstmal schrittweise auf 4-5 anzuheben wenn du sonst mit dem System gut fährst? Ein System ist immer nur so gut wie man es über Zeit anpassen kann 💪🏻
hey if you read this, please help me out. when doing pull ups, i dont feel my lats much, my forearms burn out quick. my grip doesnt fail i mean it doesnt seem to give out before finishing the set, but my forearms burn like crazy. how do i make sure that my back does most of the work?
I like a pronated thumbless grip, stops my golfers elbow flaring up. Chin ups with a supinated grip feel like i`ve taken a hammer to my elbow the day after :)
@@MichaSchulz Hi Micha, thanks for the reply. I`ve been working on strengthening my left forearm, my right is fine. Its a slow process when your elbows are 60 yo :)
@@MichaSchulz you said that we should imagine pulling shoulders apart when doing pullups, when I do this, my hands naturally go to a neutral grip when doing ring pullups right?
Well take a look at deadlift tutorials a few years ago all only „allowing“ a straight back whereas now we know there is much more tolerance to this. Things are changing, even if its just nuances
@@MichaSchulz the point is this either will or it will not work. The year is irrelevant. You don't sound confident that it will maybe you just kinda made it up lol
@@warriorofthelord4142 Agreed. many YTers claim it can be done in 6 months, I just wanted to get it done so I can focus on other stuff such as muscle ups, front lever and HSPU. Doing 4 sets of pullups twice a week takes a lot of time and energy.
@@warriorofthelord4142 lol 😂 your knowledge sucks i unlocked my 15 clean pull ups from 0 to 15 within 2.5 months it's all possible bcoz of my diet and gym routine
Instead of acting like you are the god of pull ups, maybe give some reasonable advice 👌🏻 @752shashank, without knowing what you already did/how you trained it’s hard to give advice.
Hello I might need sum advice so I've been training 2 get a stronger weighted dip and I have 2 really bad injurys 4 about 3 weeks now where even just with my bw not weighted everytime I got past 90° on my left arm it's like my tricep tendon keeps popping and now I have a bad right shoulder injury as well where I can barely get in2 a support hold and it hurts any kind of front delt use or depression of scapula it is extremely painful should I see sum1 or take a week off or what's ur advice I am still able 2 do weighted pullup training without any pain but not with push

It means your back strength is too weak hit the gym exercises
@@ankitbishnoi4470 idiot, going up retracted means ur using primarily back muscles for movement. Upper trap engagement generates explosive power giving momentum to clear the chip making u lift more.
Hi, you should try doing scapula shrughs withs extra weight 😊
@@emmanuelbenitez9628 Thanks but I got it now, all I had to do was completely let go of scapula engagement at bottom and start afresh each rep.

Hi, Micha! Could you tell me more about why do you recommend supinated grip for people with lower mobility? I thought it was the opposite.
It provides more chest wall expansion and so anterior to posterior rib cage expansion. Vertical pulling is pretty compressive (anterior to posterior), so in order to provide enough „compression range“ the chin up feels better for stiffs/wide ISA

big biceps interferes with chinups.Mathew Zlat talked about this.

@@MichaSchulz Interesting, I've never heard of this idea before!
Can you make video about warm ups sets? How many sets, how many reps in warm up sets? % in warm ups sets?
Will put it on the list

You should probably work on your forearm supination 🤝
@@MichaSchulz
Hi Micha, thanks for the reply. I`ve been working on strengthening my left forearm, my right is fine. Its a slow process when your elbows are 60 yo :)
Could you do a Vid for intermediate weighted pullups like 50kg 1rm.
That our main coaching target group so probably not coming in that detail
Is the straight bar dip (weighted) a good secondary dip, in your weighted calisthenics program template?
Not in my opinion
So if i do ring pullups and i exert the force via my pinky, my supinated grip will automatically change to a neutral grip right?
Not sure how you mean this, can you try to rephrase the thought?
@@MichaSchulz you said that we should imagine pulling shoulders apart when doing pullups, when I do this, my hands naturally go to a neutral grip when doing ring pullups right?
Sorry I totally misread the „ring“. Yes haha your forearms will supinate then and that rotates the rings 🤝
@@MichaSchulz 😮👍got it thank you
Bei dem Test der overheadmobility: darf man die Schultern in elevation bringen oder testet man mit Depression?
Es ist unmöglich den Arm über 60° zu heben ohne das Schulterblatt nach oben zu rotieren, also kannst in der Schulter gerne Bewegung zulassen
Will this still work in 2025 or does it expire December 31st?
We will see! I am constantly learning and that also involves changing my mind about certain topics 😁📈
