Very informative and interesting video. The dude really nailed the explanations for each pull up variations and best of all he was straight to the point. It's a damn shame this channel doesn't have more subscribers because it sure as hell deserves them.
It's a shame people are more interested in synthetic products to advance body performance, shape and conditioning, I'm a healthcare professional and certified trainer and I would recommend this video to anyone any age
Besides athlean x, you are the most to-the-point guy on youtube but my question is when I look for chin up on youtube, almost very few people do it, most of them do the pull up for biceps, I don't get it
I think that's a nomenclature issue. A "chin up" is traditionally (where I'm from, how I've ever seen it used) supposed to mean the bicep variant (palms facing you) whereas the pull-up (palms facing away) is the lat/back exercise. So if you're actually searching chinups then that might be why you get skewed results.
Pull ups are always the main and chin ups are treated as a accessory version of a pull up. A fitness influencer name Alpha destiny explains this on one of his videos about chin ups
@@matt4829 when i do the wide grip PU it hurts my left shoulder at the bottom cause i have rotator cuff injury so i only do the mid/inner grip and i can do 15 but i feel like my forearms are doing most of the work and i want a stronger back
But what about the diagonal bars? I have the same pull up bar set up and I’m never sure which direction I should face with the diagonal bars, or what it’s even doing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Those bars are meant to provide options as far as your grip. Changing your grip is one way to target other muscles in the same area while doing the same exercise.
But the multi grip bar is as wide as the straight one so they would work the same wouldnt it but mutl bar is not straight but I herd they do same pull up as the straight bar

I like your method, simple and efficient, way better than athlean x, he tends to talk too much and make working out so complicated.
I appreciate that!
Weird. It's almost as if working out is complicated
Thank you so much. Clear, straight to the point and great visual examples
You’re welcome. We love sharing health and workout tips - we’ll share more so watch out for them!

You're most welcome!!
Thanks a lot for the education!
My pleasure!
Great info
Thank you for watching!
Hey, great video! Is there a variation that would help develop the side delts?
To really target your side delts, dumbbell side arm raises will give you more bang for your buck.
Thank you
You're welcome
Thanks for the video... if I’m doing neutral grip pull ups, what’s the difference between a narrow grip and a wide grip?
They just focus on/ target different muscles ... include both : )
I love a narrower grip when doing neutral, these absolutely destroy my Lats like nothing else (in a good way)
Nice, thanks
You're welcome! 👍
I need a pull up variation that get less shoulders involve.
Have you checked out the videos on our main channel Critical Bench?
Informative. Wherever you put your hands you will still primary train your traps.
👍
Does it matter if the thumb is under the bar or top of the bar?

those black chains are badass... where did you get them from?
I am not really sure. They've been here as long as I have ~ Coach Tonya
Thanks alot very helpful
We're glad you found it helpful
@@CriticalBenchCompound definitely I just started incorporating pull ups enjoying the ride👍
@@CriticalBenchCompound I can only really start with neutral grip what do u say is best to start with?thanks again
Start with what you are able to do without hurting yourself and that challenges you
So your saying a grip that’s slightly wider than shoulder width gets max reps. What about a grip that’s shoulder width no wider no shorter?
You may not get as many reps however you will also target other muscles and they will benefit your training overall
@@CriticalBenchCompound I can't do a wide pull-up but I can do a couple narrow pull-ups, is that normal
@@matt4829 when i do the wide grip PU it hurts my left shoulder at the bottom cause i have rotator cuff injury so i only do the mid/inner grip and i can do 15 but i feel like my forearms are doing most of the work and i want a stronger back
@@jonmcmann6811 yeah I can do about 10 pullups now and like 15 chinups
Do any of those variations of pull ups help build the posterior Delt?
Yes, most pull-up variations will work your posterior delts
Critical Bench Compound thanks bro!
I need watch twice but no I understand it great
When you say "Middle Back", are you referring to the Middle Lat or to the Latissimus Dorsi?
Mid back would be a combination of Lats, Rhomboids mostly. Of course there's a network of back muscle but those are two of the big movers on pull ups.
So what do i do for lower back?
Please check out our other videos for exercises and workout suggestions
But what about the diagonal bars? I have the same pull up bar set up and I’m never sure which direction I should face with the diagonal bars, or what it’s even doing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Those bars are meant to provide options as far as your grip. Changing your grip is one way to target other muscles in the same area while doing the same exercise.
Should you do every variation?
What back muscles are in middle back?
Lats, low traps, erectors
Do pull-ups work your chest as well?
Yes! Pull-ups target your back muscles primarily, specifically your lats, but also engage the pecs. One of the best exercises you can do!
can i grow my traps with pull ups?
Yes! Shrugs, upright rows, and face pulls will help even more. Thanks for supporting the channel!
But the multi grip bar is as wide as the straight one so they would work the same wouldnt it but mutl bar is not straight but I herd they do same pull up as the straight bar
Multi grip allows for different angles which recruits different muscle fibers and is safer on the joints.
How many reps and sets
3-4 sets of 5-10 reps each

Whats written on your biceps ?
Hebrew ?
רשום "פדה" אבל אין לי מושג מה זה אומר
מזכיר לי את הישראלים שכותבים דברים בסינים בלי לדעת מה רשום שם
My Hebrew is very limited 😂😂
@@JacobIX99 thank you
@@JacobIX99 its translates to "pooh"
your tatto on your bicep means PADA wich is actually nothing so....
You would be incorrect on that!
It means redeem
Thank you
