My favourite topic revisited again yay :D I improved a lot during the last year all from these tips. Explosive pull ups are much more satisfying than going for high rep count with poor form.
You might think you're giving out "obvious" technique advice, but let me tell you some of us have been doing casual pull-ups for years and doing them wrong! I just love this technique videos
Great info! Comprehensive and clear. For someone like me who can do 15 strict pullups but can't pull to my chest even once, this is really valuable. Thanks!
This whole time I was wondering why I couldn’t pull higher, it’s because I was going to a complete dead hang like how I would do in my weighted pullups. I just needed to keep my core and scapula engaged. Now I know.
I tried high pull-ups for several weeks at the gym on assisted pull-up machine. I might be wrong, but what I found was that the triceps get worked extremely hard. Yes, the back works, but having strong triceps seems to be just as important in executing the movement.
Hi Daniel, can you also recommend a general guide for the wrist ulnar/radial orientation during pullups? So far, I basically do what feels most comfortable. Thanks.
Great video as always! The constant difference in mic quality / volume was quite distracting. Felt like you were shifting between two different microphones.
my first pull is going naturally to chest high since I always us this techinique for pull ups minus the thumb under bar. For some reason suicide grip is more comfortable for me
I have a pull-up bar which shakes when i do explosive pull-ups which absorbs my force which kinda restricts my explosive pull-ups,This might seem like an excuse to many of you but still i am trying my best
What posture should I have for weighted pull ups? From the video it seems more “traditional” than hollow body and closer grip used for the high pull ups?
Try doing every pull-up with a quick, explosive pull (1 second) and a slow, controlled descent (2 seconds). Try going higher on every rep (chin -> collarbones -> lower pecs -> lower ribs -> navel). Also try hanging (active and passive) to strengthen your forearms. Leave just 1-3 reps in reserve on every set, do 6-8 sets per workout, don't exercise your back every day.
Great, in details video. One question: Haven't really understand, are you supposed to protract your scapula at the bottom position of a weighted pull up (which gives better hypertrophy results, studies say)? Aren't you quite unstable in this position with the extra weight to get injured?
This protocol is not about hypertrophy but rather strength. I saw a video from this guy where he says that hybrid pull-ups (where you start from arch to hollow position by the end at the top) are better for max performance.
Doing hollow position at the bottom is even more difficult to perform weighted pull-ups. Your body has a natural tendency to perform this kind of pull-up using hybrid form, which is more safe.
2:17 but i learned how to do muscle ups with (left) but i did realize that my pull ups were always tough I weight 180lbs so dont say its because of weight or luck i been working hard on pull ups i just dont have a bar like his.
Hi, do you happen to have a video on how to breathe properly during exercises (specially pull ups and dips), I’m not really sure if I should breathe when pulling or when descending… but what I find myself doing is holding a deep breath before pulling and I think that is making me more fatigued. Thanks and great videos 👍🔥
Never hold your breath during weight training, just try to keep it in rhythm with your movements. Usually people exhale on the exertion part of the exercise and breathe in on the negatives.
@@hyperobelisk9593 Yeah so if you're doing pullups for instance, exhale on the way up and breathe in on the way back down. Exhales help with explosive power and breathing in helps you to control the down movement and get ready for the next lift. Yeah breathing is key in everything we do, I'm always working on it, it's something we can all improve on lol
The same here, 75. Just tried to pull up with 32kg - 2.5 reps… I think I need to lose 5 kg (though it is no joke at 46 years old) and start with additional 25 kg to reach 35 kg x 5 reps by end of the year… I can do 18 bodyweight or 13 times chest-to-bar
Is it possible to increase the strength for these advanced movements by significantly slowing down both concentric and eccentric instead of adding weight? You´d have considerably less risk of injuries of your ligaments and tendons..
I just can't get my hips in that position. I can aggressively hit my chest to the bar. It actually hurst. I just don't know how to get into that high hip position
Is this routine doable twice a week? Or are the heavy weighted pull ups too taxing for the CNS and one day should have lighter weights for more reps (to build that muscle mass that way you have more potential for strength)?
Does the strength from Weighted Chin ups and training for One arm chin ups transfer to high pull ups? Keeping the specificity principle in mind, i'd assume it's easier to get high pull ups once you achieve the former? I ask this because on my current cycle I'm using your OAC program and there's only so much one can train for. I noticed once I unlocked Full Planche pushups both 90 degree HSPUs and Tigerbend push ups came almost instantly. wondering if that will apply to high pull ups aswell.
Hey i used green resistence to do High pull ups (the thickest one) and my friend told me that it was to thick and Supports more instead using strenght and Should i use the purple resistence band?
I'm no expert but it's relative, isn't it? If you can do 15 reps with the band you use, try a smaller one. If your goal is 5 and you're reaching failure at 5, you're using the correct band. Just my opinion.

I'm 70kg and I can do 2 reps with 32kg weight pull-ups, but I'm stuck there, I can't move forward, I don't know why.... High pull-ups are amazing exercises that I also do, but my muscles up its shit, I can't do more than 2 reps....
Not gonna lie, I'm a little disappointed. You should have covered caution with elbow tendons during these exercises. I personally got medial epicondylitis from doing muscle up and high pull up training and have had elbow pain ongoing for 4 years now. Be careful people! If you notice pain in the elbow tendon doing this training, please stop pull ups for a week or two and train bicep curls to lock out with slow eccentrics. This will make those biceps better brakes so your tendons don't take all of the load.
Doing prayer stretch really helped my elbow pain from medial epicondylitis. Put hands/palms together 🙏 Keep your forearms parallel to the ground. Should feel the stretch on inside elbows.
Real, I had tendonitis but become less after implementing bicep curls and hammer curls at the every end of my compound exercises such as pull ups and body rows
Could you elaborate on bicep curls. Obviously, I know what they are but what specifically do you do to help with elbow pain? Low weight high rep? And is it hammer curls, normal, or both? Finally, when in your workout do you do this, towards the beginning, middle, or end?
Just work at it whenever you get time and have the energy. I have a 2 yr old and one on the way. My "workouts" anymore are just super simple circuits done in 30 min or less. Depends all how I feel, but I'm also not getting complete workouts by any means. Whatever you can get done is better than nothing. Sometimes I just do arms, band assisted pullups and that's about it. I'm pretty active at work so not doing much leg or conditioning right now.

To properly engage my scapula should I retract and depress it? Im getting mixed info from your video from 2 years ago. How about hybrid-form pull-ups?
How is this man adding things I need to know for one year straight?

I've always found these more impressive and aesthetic than muscleups - and better for programming.

I am not entitled to benefit from, being a comparatively big guy. But I think it be super helpful for fitter people. Thank you coach.
Thanks again buddy 👌
@5:35... how do I stop myself or limit myself from using momentum rather than strength?
Hi Daniel, can you also recommend a general guide for the wrist ulnar/radial orientation during pullups? So far, I basically do what feels most comfortable. Thanks.
I can do just 15 normal pull-ups and my weighted pullups are +15% bw for 5 reps, so I guess I should focus on the foundation first...
Great video as always! The constant difference in mic quality / volume was quite distracting. Felt like you were shifting between two different microphones.

What posture should I have for weighted pull ups? From the video it seems more “traditional” than hollow body and closer grip used for the high pull ups?
What progression would you suggest instead of weighted pullups when working out in the park and all you got is bar and rings?
Buy a weighted vest perchance
Try doing every pull-up with a quick, explosive pull (1 second) and a slow, controlled descent (2 seconds). Try going higher on every rep (chin -> collarbones -> lower pecs -> lower ribs -> navel). Also try hanging (active and passive) to strengthen your forearms. Leave just 1-3 reps in reserve on every set, do 6-8 sets per workout, don't exercise your back every day.

Can I include this routine in a gym hypertrophy routine? Also, can power transfer to resistance?
Looks good!💯

Hi Daniel, great video! Can gymnastic rings be used when working on "How to Pull Up Higher"?
Tim
Since I prefer neutral grip to do pull ups , I'm thinking of just doing rings pull ups from now on. Good, bad ?
Do high pull-ups bias more the traps and rhomboid muscles rather than the lats (as in regular pull-ups)?
did i just hear that correctly? If its my goal to increase performance in terms of reps and strength i should not aim for muscle failure?
my favorite youtube channels are core stability society and pullupFAQs how about you guys?
Can't find Core Stability Society anywhere...
"It looks cool" Only reason I need
thank u
hey man, good videos. can you tell me pls in which category you put your calisthenics and workout videos?
My transition was a lot easier when I switched to neutral grip and brought that to chest length. Then mixed sets then without neutral grip.
Tysm bro
I enjoy the videos you post. Do you recommend a book or have you made one on workouts?
Is it possible to increase the strength for these advanced movements by significantly slowing down both concentric and eccentric instead of adding weight? You´d have considerably less risk of injuries of your ligaments and tendons..
how many sets of 3-6reps weighted pull ups? and twice a week?
great video
What about the pullup assist machine?
would doing lat pull down machine with the same form help?
I just can't get my hips in that position. I can aggressively hit my chest to the bar. It actually hurst. I just don't know how to get into that high hip position
Due to shoulder limitations i have to use supinated hand grip, how to progress with this?

Daniel what weight belt are you using?
Good thigh to bar L sit pull ups dude
*Adds to playlist for years later
I can do pretty much 3 muscle ups, but why the hell is this LV 2-3 high pull ups is soo much harder to achieve than the muscle up dammit.

I don't have a bar high enough to straighten my legs for hollow body posture, any recommendations?
Find a tree
Knees to the chest if I may make a modest suggestion... But I am just a noob...
@@MagnificentImbecil I think that is even more difficult because of the stretch in the lats.
now on 5-8 clean on a good day- 118kgs body weight it isnt easy
00:45 how are pullups going to “supercharge your central nervous system“?
The central nervous system is your brain and your spinal chord…
