These are so much harder than they look....Saw Ido Portal repping these with chest to bar and now you. Just pure strength and control. Good shit Daniel
After my shoulder injury I fully avoid using my shoulders to pull me up. I strictly use this technique now i.e. totally using the back muscles, as shown the video and I can't even do two full pullups this way. Good-bye ego!
It's so refreshing to see/hear someone explain something in a calm and straight forward manner. You've been at it for so long with this kind of high quality content and you only get better and better!
+Ukuwoele I was very surrpised by that, so used to talking to camera and using that mic and semi-fast sometimes, but whoa, I like this guy already, things explained calmly seem in minority overall on youtube.
It’s plain to see these are so much more impressive than regular pull-ups. Once you get to 15-20 per set of just chin above bar, move to chest to bar for as many of the set as you can. You’ll be glad you did. Also, your freaking back Daniel. Holy crap. Congrats on that work of art.
Do you have narrow shoulders? The narrower your shoulders are the more everything becomes arms when it’s meant to be back due to the differences it makes in muscle attachment
No one is natural in the fitness industry , 98 % them juiced , there's nothing shamefulness about this Daniel is a really amazing athlete but natural , i don't think so even he reclaimed that before
Muhammed Neumann Why the fuck would someons do calisthenics and take steroids ahahahaha. Daniel trains for a very long time. It would be weird that after so much time he does not look like this
This is the best explanation one can get. Retracting your scapular will likely prevent you from injuring your shoulders and lats and therefore engaging your back and the lat muscles which is quite vital. Thank you for this valuable video. !
I have been following many teachers on UA-cam to learn a foundation in calisthenics and i find you are the best teacher on this subject that I have found. I am almost 60 years old with a now compromised lower back and wrists from many years of tattooing many hours a day. I am also 6'2" tall and 145 lbs. As you can imagine I need to start slow and work slowly and steadily towards my goals to rebuild from the ground up. You are the only one that I really trust to follow. Where do I go from here for beginners instruction from you in my condition?
Hello, Mr. Daniel! Thanks for these cues, I'm able to do a pull up that I can feel not just with the shoulders but including my back. With this, I can build muscle properly instead of building calluses. Again, thanks a lot!
Daniel, thank you for posting this. I have had questions about this, and have experienced elbow pain by trying to rotate internally during this. Elbows to hips cue is awesome.... On a side request would you be able to post a mantle pull up tutorial sometime? Thanks bro
Nice tips! I already do the first one to make sure to get a full stretch in the lats, and I pause at the top and bottom of my pullups. however, I should try bringing my chest to the bar and contracting my lats more. THANKS!
Another great video, Daniel! What are your thoughts on pistol squats? Do you do any, or you work your legs with weighted squats? Keep up the great work!
..now explain the perfect push up! :D I really liked this video, since it addresses some very important points many people like to overlook,good job. You should make this a series/playlist,if you haven't planned that already
Definitely will, man. You do a good job of explaining things. I'm not even close to being able to do this movement but I know that when I am I will look this up once again.
+FitnessFAQs, isn't it detrimental to shoulder health to completely relax or allow the shoulders to raise to the ears in the "dead hang" portion of the pullup? If not, can this similar technique be applied to the pushup for optimal results?
Hey Daniel, this tutorial is comprehensive and well put-together. Thank you. Question: so basically, there's no progression for touching your chest to the bar (the true "perfect pull-up"), you just keep trying with perfect form and eventually the strength to do so will build up? Or is there some auxiliary work to be done to achieve chest to bar?
That iooks like a pull up Franco Columbu used to do...I've seen it on an Ido Portal's blog once.. Tried to perform but it's hard as..F***.Alot of upper body mobility needed i think. Anyway. Great channel +FitnessFAQs Subbing right now. I like your philosophy of training, rather to perform and maintain health than to pursue size and looks. Exactly what I'm aiming now in my training journey. All the best:D
Hi Daniel, can you show us how to correctly depress and retract the scapula? Or do you have any suggestions. I am tired of pulling up with my arms. Thanks! Great video by the way!
The best I learned to depress and retract the scapula, was by watching other people doing it. So, just watch videos from Daniel or from LittleBeastM. I mean *to watch*, not to listen: Don't just listen whatever they're saying, instead, mute the video, and as you watch 'em performing the pullup, imagine yourself doing the *exact same thing* they're doing. This is called _Imaginary training_, and research's shown it's effective for strength training (check ergo-log.com).
I've been doing pullups the regular way for so long that it was really hard for me to get started with this. What I did was put a chair a yard out in front of me and put my heels on it to take off some of the weight. Then I did a number of sets to get the feel of it. It felt like doing pushups upside down! I found this post looking for help because I was only feeling my pullups in my shoulders and knew something was wrong. The tip that helped most was to pull my elbows down toward my hips. Just holding that thought with each pullup goes a long way towards getting the form right.
This is the only other pulling exercise I do besides deadlifts! My lats are tender as fuck from doing these 5x5 yesterday! I want to be able to go all the way up and stick my chest on that bar like it's connected with fucking super glue. Such insane back and bicep activation! I used to hear clicking noises in my shoulder when I would do pull-ups, and now that I'm doing them this way, it's just a smooth contraction all the way up. So convenient too because all I need is my bodyweight to get my arms and back jacked as hell.
Fantastic video. I was wondering... if I'm working pull ups into a workout and I'm doing sets and reps for strength and muscle growth, should you drop to a complete hang? I fee like it gives the muscles a moment between each rep to relax at the bottom and I thought during a workout you would try to maximize the time under tension principle and not let that happen. I can see how doing some pull ups like that would be excellent for range of motion, mobility and training proper form for sure. Thanks
Hello It's a great explanation of the pull up technique! Thanks! Could you make video on how to gradually approach this pull up form. I find it very difficult to touch the bar with my chest and fully retract scapula. I tried using gravitron machine (it facilitates pull-ups) but I can't achieve that form. I can make 10-15 pullup with rounded chest
Hey Daniel, I got a question. I'd like to know how many hours a day you are sitting (like working at a PC) / standing (or walking around) / exercising? Because I feel weird if I do sport for two hours a day and then sit all day long.
I hurt my shoulder i while back, so i'm pretty much back at zero for the time being when it comes to pull ups. Should i go for the "perfect pull up" with the help of resistance bands right away, or should i do normal/"not perfect" pull ups a while first? In other words, do you see these as complementary to pull ups, the next step or is this THE way to do them? Thanks in advance and nice video as always. :)
Good day. Let me first thank you for your vids. Absolutely fantastic. I have an issue. I am now 52 and I had a medical procedure almost 20 years back which severely affected my right lat and it looks like cut in the middle. I can still do a good number of pull ups and chin ups..about 10 max. My problem is I am unable to pass 10 while I used to do 27 when I was 17. Also none of them is complete. I am unable to pull my chin to the bar.

His calmness is a consequence of someone who knows his craft so well, that he has no need for ego to speak for him.
@@clawhammr666 so will this perfect pullup increase our amount of conventional reps output too?
This may sound odd, but watching Daniel's muscles move and flex is just pure art to me. no homo
Gay
Its been 5 years are you still gay? You still have a time to say no homo but theres little left
@@alphaq7441 I just love how the og comment was edited silently
😂 he actually did it
Finally understanding why I only felt my upper back and biceps work when I do pull ups and never my lats
It’s plain to see these are so much more impressive than regular pull-ups. Once you get to 15-20 per set of just chin above bar, move to chest to bar for as many of the set as you can. You’ll be glad you did.
Also, your freaking back Daniel. Holy crap. Congrats on that work of art.
Hands down best channel. No BS, just great tips. Keeps me motivated by how humble you are and a beast at the same time. thanks !
Still my favourite pull up tutorial. I've recommended this video to dozens of my friends by now. Such a gem.
Looking like pure symmetry in this one Daniel!
Love it
you have no idea how often I come back to this video I swear pull ups can randomly become hard to feel in your lats for no reason
Do you have narrow shoulders? The narrower your shoulders are the more everything becomes arms when it’s meant to be back due to the differences it makes in muscle attachment
Wow! Chest to the bar, in pull up. Thank you.
best natural athlete on youtube!! loving the vids man

My favourite workout!!
Thank you for clarifying everything.
Your body is insane. Also, great video.
Finally someone show How to really perform pull ups! Great video!
Thanks for showing us the perfect pullups. You got into s lot of details on it.
