Yeah except this time Scott threw a curve ball with "Before we get correcting your form"! (Edit: I should've watched 40sec in before commenting hahahaha. "Now let's get staaaahted")
Mom: Stop focusing on the negative Psychiatrist: Don't focus so much on the negative Fitness UA-camrs: Focus more on the negative! I am so confused in life.
The problem is finding a straight pull up bar in most commercial gyms! A lot of them have these goofy handles going in different directions! BS! I like a straight bar for pull ups and chin ups!
Bro I just can't thank u enough for this video!!!! I was able to do only 3 to 4 pull ups....for about one month I've been following these tips...I do 3 to 4 pull ups till I can't do anymore then place a bench underneath and do a super slow negative till the very bottom and hold for 2 secs and repeat till absolute failure..I repeat this for 4 sets..I can feel my lats screaming...i do it twice a week...now one month later I'm able to do 6 to 7 pull ups in a row ..... thanks a million!!!!!!!! I feel awesome!!!!!!
I always appreciate a good pull up video. These kinds of tips helped me to get 8-10 bodyweight reps and noticeable gains. 6 months ago I couldnt even do 1 wide pullup like this.
Almost 2 years since you gave us these golden pointers and it's still the "go to" video I share with friends that need help badly. Thank you for the wisdom. You earn all you get because you work hard. Thank you for never compromising. Life long subscriber.
"Guys you need to always venture beyond your limits" And this.... is... to go... even further... beyond AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Scott turns ssj3)
very motivating info bro, it makes me motivated even more, when I go back to the gym with more knowledge and science behind my workout for the day! thanks man!
I really love how positive and how cheerful you are! It’s really motivating and more enjoyable to listen!! I also like how clear your explanations are, thanks for the video!
If they are hard for you then yes. You don't want to burn out and not be able to do them. If you can do them weighted, then you could save them for later because you'll still have enough strength to do some weighted or bodyweight ones.
Depends on what other back exercises you're doing that day as well. If you're also going to be deadlifting for example, then you should be doing that first since it's a way more stressful and effective exercise than pullups/chinups. But yeah when it comes to something like whether or not to do pullups or rows first it just depends on which one is harder for you.
Such awesome progress man! Proud of you! Have you been following one of my programs to get that strength up? muscularstrength.com/Full-Workout-Programs
You went from 3 with no weight, to 10 with 20kg. What else did you do? I been doing pullups for years and I'm looking for any tips I know this post is 4yrs old. So not expecting anything.
Thank you very much for this Scott. I have been avoiding pull ups and sticking to machines for my back workout, for the very exact reasons you just mentioned! Your analysis on every point on how to execute this exercise is on the spot! my gym trainers got it all wrong. I'll introduce them to your channel. More power to you and God bless you.
Half the gym instructors no squat about great technique and hate it when you mention UA-cam channel's as it might take away their personal training clients 🤣
A crossfit kip is different from a proper kip. It should be used as cheating in curls. When you get tired you should use a slight kip to get to true failure.
Thanks for this Scott. I'm in my 60s and have tendon damage in one hand and some shoulder impingement issues. I've been working around these quite effectively with DB exercises but have always used the injuries as excuses to avoid the hanging bar exercises. The 'cheats' you propose show me the way to get around the problems. I'm not aware of any other videos which show these options so comprehensively. Cheers.
You are too kind my bro! Thank you!! Make sure you check out the 12 week programs available on my site so you can get ready for my Cheat & recover program! muscularstrength.com/Full-Workout-Programs
Had to use a resistance band to assist me for a while but I can finally do a few pull ups without help. I’m really glad I didn’t just abandon the exercise.
I like how some idiots say shit like Scott hasn't made any substantial gains over the years!Lol really! A Lil knowledge for all the haters and juice heads, the side has progressed consistently, just look at him now compared to year or two ago! Plus that's how a Natural Bodybuilders look! Keep it up!
Yeah, you look natural..., which i totally respect. Ive been working out for two or three years now and didnt see results for the first year and a half. At times i felt like quitting but i knew if i quit i wouldnt achieve anything. Anyways i enjoyed your video and learned somethings i didnt know before.
Pull up is definitely up there for one of the best, if not the best, back exercises. I've been training for 2 years and see no significant gains on my back. Then I went to college however the college gym does not have much equipment for back exercises so I was forced to add pull-up into my training regime(I used to run away from them). Oh boy does my back GROW. I still remember the pain(the good one),pump and soreness when I did my first pull-up centered back training. I also gain more strength for my dead-lifts, bent-over-row, etc. Even though I've been doing pull-ups for almost 3 years now, this video still points out some of the mistakes that I've failed to notice. Once again, great work Scott. Going to hit my next back day with all the correction mentioned in this video and feel like a beginner again. My personal back training plan: 1. Dead-lifts 3 x 8~12 (progressively heavier each set) 2. Normal pull-ups 5 x 10 3. Neutral pull-ups 5 x 10 4. Underhand pull-ups 5 x 10 5. Dumbbell/Barbell bent-over-row 4 x 10/10/10 (Drop sets/alternate between dumbbells and barbell each week) 6. Cable row 4 x10 Any suggestion for my workout plan is welcomed :)
Nice Jason! Like I say.. pull-ups should be a staple in your back training. Basically the king when it comes to back exercises, maybe even upper body exercises in general. Routine looks good.. but really no need to do all those pull up variations in one workout. Spread them out a bit between two workouts per week. Are you training everything twice with something like my PPL split? muscularstrength.com/Push-Pull-Legs
Hey Scott great video. I have a question though. You know how weighted dead hangs really target your lats, even though there's no range of motion. And farmer walks too, but the traps in this case. Would holding the stretched position work for other exercises as well, like bench or overhead press? Thanks :)
Yeah absolutely. For example, at the end of your chest workout, try sitting in the bottom position of a flat bench or in the stretched position of a fly.. see how long you can hold it. It will be tough!
Thanks for the lower body stability tip! I do well enough with lat pull downs but always seem to struggle with my pull ups, so I am definitely going to apply this in my next back workout.
An abundance of awesome information all in 12 minutes! Very useful tips and many of these apply to me. Definitely need to get on this in my next session. Cheers Scott!
I can do pull ups properly watching your videos now if i could only speak like your self with that accent then i would have truly achieved awesomeness...

Hearing you talk about energy leaks and mind muscle connection gave me flashbacks of Whis telling Goku and Vegeta that they needed to control their energy and have their bodies react without thinking. Great video!
I used to go wide as possible for thickness and ended up with a shoulder injury. I couldn't do pull ups for months. When I started doing them again I could feel discomfort in my shoulder when going wide. I hadn't figured out the wide grip was the cause of the injury at this point, and all the info at the time said go for a wide grip. I narrowed my grip and soon my shoulders got better, but in the back of my mind I kept thinking I should be going wider but I can't. So thanks for the video, it put my mind at rest.

7 weeks ago I went from not being able to do a single heave (over arm pull up - in my head that's how I view it compared to under arm) to now being able to smash out 6 in a row, fully extended. This video really helped me to combat my lower 'energy leak' and I'm going to progress on with different variations. I'm also going to try and hang for a minute or two and push my chest back to progress further. Really helpful video. Seriously. Now, let's get staaaaaarted.
I will add it to my list man! Thanks for the suggestion :-) Make sure you check out the 12 week programs available on my site so you can get ready for my Cheat & Recover program! muscularstrength.com/Full-Workout-Programs
I LOVE your brutal honesty! "How does more shitty reps help you build more muscle. The answer is, they don't." :D This is one of the reasons why I follow you.
Good tips dude! Made me check out ur old maximum growth back routine. Supersetting with chin ups and finishing with slow negative pull ups. Would love to see more full length routines like that!
I could do some more like that, but mostly focusing on my Cheat & Recover program at the moment.. you are going to love it!! Make sure you check out my other programs so you can get ready for it! muscularstrength.com/Full-Workout-Programs
This trick really helped me. I can now do around 8 pull ups and I used to not be able to do one.....Set the protection bars in the squat rack so when hanging off the pull up handles you could put your feel up on the protection bars reducing your weight. Do pull ups till fail and then put your feet on the protection bars and do more pull ups at reduced weight until fail. This really helped me:)
Marine Poolee here. I ship out to boot camp in October and I've been working hard to get better with pull ups. I couldn't even do 1 pull up a couple months ago but now I'm up to 10+ pull ups. Btw, you talk the CORRECT way, I'm from the Boston area and you talk similar to me. Both my parents are from the city with thick accents so I guess that's why I talk the way I talk lol. Your accent sounds a little forced but you still talk the right way lol. Keep up the good work bro 💪🇺🇲
Scott, appreciate your stressing the correct techniques and full range of motion - quality first, then work up to quantity , has helped me a lot, especially my form - thanks man
Scott, what is the science behind the dead hang? I don't understand it being more beneficial because at the dead hang you lose tenstion. What are your thoughts on this?
I don't know the science behind the dead hang but I've been doing it plus machine assisted pull-ups and can tell a difference in the strength of my lats and back overall. Prob one of the most beneficial additions to my back work period. Not only that but my grip strength has increased tremendously with the addition of dead hangs. There are many other tips of Scott's that I'm using and can see the growth in strength with them. I'm a believer!!
Doing pull ups from dead hang not only slightly increases range of motion, but also trains your ligaments since you basically hang on your wrist muscles and a lot of ligaments. In the long run it prevents injuries and conditions joints when training with heavy weight, but of course it is mandatory to move down in a SLOW CONTROLLED motion (aka 100% control of negative portion as Scott mentions).
Very helpful. Negatives are critical. Many thanks. Good Crossfit coaches will tell you to not attempt kipping pull ups till you have 4-5 strict pull ups. And the same coaches discourage butterfly pull-ups till you get 15 odd kipping pull ups.
So many great tips! I always felt shoulder pain doing wide grip variations which I thought didn't seem right but was always told to do it that way.. Gonna send a lot of people to this video! Thanks a lot
Thanks for sharing Will! Hope it improves the shoulder pain now that you'll be doing them properly :-D Make sure you check out the 12 week programs available on my site so you can get ready for my Cheat & Recover program! muscularstrength.com/Full-Workout-Programs

Never seen this guy, stayed for the accent, actually has some good info. I'd like to add in regards to the energy leak portion. Do everything he said but kick your feet slightly in front of you instead of behind. Lets you keep your knees straight and everything flexed better.
Would have to disagree with the 2nd one mate, you should never dead hang whilst performing pull ups.. Always keep your shoulders engaged.. Other than that top tips 👍
+Pablo Murf this isn’t a shoulder exercise. So keeping them engaged is pointless my bro. To maximize the stretch you need to read hang at the bottom. Try it 👏🤗💪🏻
You can do it and it is effective but it’s definitely not necessary for maximum growth. Getting your chest to the bar is just as important yet he talks about full ROM while saying that part of the movement is not essential...
Pull-ups in the beginning are hard. Especially if you're a little overweight. Back when I was a beginner I could do 30 push-ups but couldn't do 2 pull-ups.
We all start somewhere. Then we make GAINS :-D Make sure you check out the 12 week programs available on my site so you can get ready for my Cheat & Recover program! muscularstrength.com/Full-Workout-Programs

Hi man
Can I build biceps from doing pull-up or chin-up alone without doing weights?
Just curious.
Thanks!
Nor Priest you can work on your bicep from doing chin up.
Dislikes are for his grotesque accent.
@J. St kipping pullups are gay
The problem is finding a straight pull up bar in most commercial gyms! A lot of them have these goofy handles going in different directions! BS! I like a straight bar for pull ups and chin ups!
Well a straight bar is best.. but my rack has 'goofy' handles too and some of them are actually very useful :-D
U saying bars in gyms are gay bars?
100%!!
So true man
I use the Smith Machine for my pull-ups cause I hate those weirdly angled handles.
Remember: If you can, chest to the BAHH

ScottHermanFitness quick question should you do pull ups at the start of a back workout
If they are hard for you then yes. You don't want to burn out and not be able to do them. If you can do them weighted, then you could save them for later because you'll still have enough strength to do some weighted or bodyweight ones.

I think pull-ups are the best back exercise. Period. Even More than rows
Agreed. Pull-ups are king when it comes to your back!!
Ya they are. Pull-ups, Rows , deadlifts. Back done
adam lawrence what kind of rows? Barbell, cable, or T-bar?
thundersword999 switch it up every week.
After deadlifts..
First time i've ever heard of "kipping", I can't believe that's a real workout.

7 weeks ago I went from not being able to do a single heave (over arm pull up - in my head that's how I view it compared to under arm) to now being able to smash out 6 in a row, fully extended. This video really helped me to combat my lower 'energy leak' and I'm going to progress on with different variations. I'm also going to try and hang for a minute or two and push my chest back to progress further. Really helpful video. Seriously. Now, let's get staaaaaarted.
Great video. Been struggling on improving my pull ups, will try to incorporate all of these.
I died laughing at those pullups at 5:30
Yeah.. crossfit gains? lol.
Those aren't pull ups. They're a waste of oxygen
Scott could you do a video on your lower back routine?
I will add it to my list man! Thanks for the suggestion :-)

I LOVE your brutal honesty! "How does more shitty reps help you build more muscle. The answer is, they don't." :D
This is one of the reasons why I follow you.
+cybrsage always keeping it real!! Thanks man!!
Just yesterday I was struggling with the pull-ups. I felt I was the only one not being able to do more than one. Thanks!
You're not alone Manuel. But it's OK.. now you'll be able to do lots of pull-ups :-D
At 350lb, I have to admit to not being able to do a single pull-up, but hey, I just rode a bicycle from Liverpool to Thailand :)
How the fuck are u verified
Yes. We are also here
Where is that pic from?
That Boy maximilianmus on yt
This man is a legend, can you say it louder for all the people in the back! Quit the half reps and cross fit pull ups..
Good tips dude! Made me check out ur old maximum growth back routine. Supersetting with chin ups and finishing with slow negative pull ups. Would love to see more full length routines like that!
I could do some more like that, but mostly focusing on my Cheat & Recover program at the moment.. you are going to love it!! Make sure you check out my other programs so you can get ready for it! muscularstrength.com/Full-Workout-Programs
Thanks for another useful and informative video , what should be the ideal diameter size of the bar for good comfortable grip?
Not sure there is an ideal diameter really.. just your standard barbell grip would be about the right grip for a pull-up bar.
ScottHermanFitness thanks bro for the feedback.
the BAH
Scott, seriously, thank you for pointing out all the major misconceptions I hear and see every day. I hope people are hearing what you're saying.
This trick really helped me. I can now do around 8 pull ups and I used to not be able to do one.....Set the protection bars in the squat rack so when hanging off the pull up handles you could put your feel up on the protection bars reducing your weight. Do pull ups till fail and then put your feet on the protection bars and do more pull ups at reduced weight until fail. This really helped me:)
Thanks for the tips Scott! Really cool insight about the shoulder width-grip compared to wide grip! keep it up
Glad you liked it! Have a great Thanksgiving!
Can’t skip the basics !
Damn right bro! Basics are best!
Best workout youtube channel I've viewed so faaar! Seriously, this guy knows what he's talking about and demonstrates perfectly.
Who would dislike this?! Wow people are ridiculous smh Scott came through with great knowledge not just his opinion but facts this video was awesome.
Haters gonna hate man! At least we know what quality is! Thanks for watching :-)
ScottHermanFitness absolutely!
I've built up from none to needing to add 10kg :)
Nice! Progression at it's finest!
ScottHermanFitness cheers! Love your videos
Spartan never surrender!
THIS.. IS.. SPARTA!
Marine Poolee here. I ship out to boot camp in October and I've been working hard to get better with pull ups. I couldn't even do 1 pull up a couple months ago but now I'm up to 10+ pull ups. Btw, you talk the CORRECT way, I'm from the Boston area and you talk similar to me. Both my parents are from the city with thick accents so I guess that's why I talk the way I talk lol. Your accent sounds a little forced but you still talk the right way lol. Keep up the good work bro 💪🇺🇲
Scott, appreciate your stressing the correct techniques and full range of motion - quality first, then work up to quantity , has helped me a lot, especially my form - thanks man
I can do correct pull-up 7rep at the time..all the way down...it's hard...✌️
Nice Joseph! Soon enough you'll be able to do 10 and even more!
Scott, what is the science behind the dead hang? I don't understand it being more beneficial because at the dead hang you lose tenstion. What are your thoughts on this?
I don't know the science behind the dead hang but I've been doing it plus machine assisted pull-ups and can tell a difference in the strength of my lats and back overall. Prob one of the most beneficial additions to my back work period. Not only that but my grip strength has increased tremendously with the addition of dead hangs. There are many other tips of Scott's that I'm using and can see the growth in strength with them. I'm a believer!!
Doing pull ups from dead hang not only slightly increases range of motion, but also trains your ligaments since you basically hang on your wrist muscles and a lot of ligaments. In the long run it prevents injuries and conditions joints when training with heavy weight, but of course it is mandatory to move down in a SLOW CONTROLLED motion (aka 100% control of negative portion as Scott mentions).
Very helpful. Negatives are critical. Many thanks. Good Crossfit coaches will tell you to not attempt kipping pull ups till you have 4-5 strict pull ups. And the same coaches discourage butterfly pull-ups till you get 15 odd kipping pull ups.
Thanks for not having 800000 ads. Enjoying the content.
Some really good tips but one thing, wouldn't it be better to have your feet in front than crossed behind?
Whatever works best for you. Will be easier to keep things tight behind you.
Heard cross fit and automatically though: Zzzzzzzzzzero
Lol well I hope you paid attention to what I actually said about it :-)
ScottHermanFitness of course, Scott. Gotta listen to you to get the ssj3 Bardock type gains
Jonny love that video 😂
So many great tips! I always felt shoulder pain doing wide grip variations which I thought didn't seem right but was always told to do it that way.. Gonna send a lot of people to this video! Thanks a lot
Thanks for sharing Will! Hope it improves the shoulder pain now that you'll be doing them properly :-D

Great series its a really nice thing your doing with videos to help people like this
Never seen this guy, stayed for the accent, actually has some good info. I'd like to add in regards to the energy leak portion. Do everything he said but kick your feet slightly in front of you instead of behind. Lets you keep your knees straight and everything flexed better.
Would have to disagree with the 2nd one mate, you should never dead hang whilst performing pull ups.. Always keep your shoulders engaged.. Other than that top tips 👍
+Pablo Murf this isn’t a shoulder exercise. So keeping them engaged is pointless my bro. To maximize the stretch you need to read hang at the bottom. Try it 👏🤗💪🏻
ScottHermanFitness will do bud
I agree that stretch is huge for muscle growth... Especially the lats!
the stretch is bad for joints
You can do it and it is effective but it’s definitely not necessary for maximum growth. Getting your chest to the bar is just as important yet he talks about full ROM while saying that part of the movement is not essential...
Pull-ups in the beginning are hard. Especially if you're a little overweight. Back when I was a beginner I could do 30 push-ups but couldn't do 2 pull-ups.
We all start somewhere. Then we make GAINS :-D
