    OK, here are my personal pull up tips assuming no preexisting injury or motor deficiency.
    1. Determine total body weight
    2. Determine lean body weight
    3. The difference is fat, water, food, waste, etc.
    4. Use a pull assist machine (or bands if you must) and SUBTRACT your body fat.
    You now have a measure of your true strength as a function of lean mass and a basis from which to strengthen. You are NOT weak! Progress could be rapid as one typically loses fat while gaining overall strength, the two variables race towards eachother. This can be exciting for the trainee. I advise pull ups, air squats, pushups/dips every day. Not to failure or with volume ( on an off day ) but as a continuous reminder to the brain that the connection needs to be improved and recruitment maximised. The progress in the gym will encourage continued effort.
    See a sturdy bar? Try a pull up, even if your feet are dragging. Dead time at work? Drop for some pushups or air squats. maybe a few dips while leaning against a sturdy workbench? You get it. We adapt to environments, use yours to train.
    Recover! Sleep, hydrate, quality foods, did i mention sleep?
    Love the channel!
    Peace.

    in my humble experience over the years what i come across very often is the client simply does not understand muscle recruitment, so they end up using only a portion of their strength, working through simply lining up and getting a solid contraction when performing the movement often is enough to get them their first one.

    Don’t you mean Brachioradialis? Turns the radius over the ulna. Not a super strong elbow flexor (longer on the forearm than humerus). Great drill progressions! Appreciate your explanations and demo. One thing that Is often overlooked, is that your lats are actually a relatively small muscle in the back. While it has a large surface area, it doesn’t have much volume. The shoulder muscles by volume are the biggest muscle of the back across the shoulder. The triceps and pectoralis are also at the top of the list with the lats coming in number four. While your traps are large muscles they don’t cross the shoulder but they do attach to the scapula. Your lats do not attach to the scapula and are responsible for internal rotation, adduction and extension of the shoulder. Pull ups, relative to body weight, are hard for good reason!

      I know this is way late, but I personally prefer negatives to the rubber stuff. Firstly it's easier (if you have a bench or something), secondly it's closer to the actual lift. The force of the bands changes during the movement.
      Also I think CrossFit is about endurance, right?

      Let us know about your progress dude. I was sincere, pulling 109kg up to a bar 3 times is impressive. Any progress you can make on that is awesome.

    Sub. Short but sweet. Good info. I’m on my 3rd pull-up. 💪
    Started at 1. Too heavy and not strong enough. Got stronger and leaner. Still weight same.

    The main reason you can’t do pull-ups is you’re not strong enough! Do assisted pull-ups, lat pull downs and rows with progressively more weight

    The forearm muscle you were talking about in the end is called Brachioradialis and the reverse curl actually is an exercise of the Brachialis muscle, not the Brachioradialis.

    I was an individual who was unable to do any pull ups. I tried to follow various videos, such as this one, and failed. I then talked to this Marine dude and he just told me to quit my whining and just do it. Turned out he was right. If you want to do pull ups, the only way to do it is to to do it. The time you spent doing other things better spent on the bar. The goal is simple: 1) have access to a bar, and 2) as much, and as often as you can, just go on the bar throughout the day, even if you can do zero. Just get on it, try to pull until failure, then walk away. Next time, pull until failure. Next time, pull until failure. One day you're going to do a full pull up, and again, keep doing it until failure, and eventually you'll do 2. Once you do 2, keep pulling until failure. Do 2 all the time, whenever you can, and eventually you'll do 3 all the time, whenever you can. One day you'll do 4, then 5, then 6, and you'll laugh at these kind of videos.

      Also, if you insist on using some sort of aid, try to use a partner. Don't let that partner hold your legs, instead have them push on your back. Don't use assist machines, don't use bands, don't use anything. If you can't pull up, then hanging on the bar doing half the motion is better than doing 0 motion but don't get stuck doing one particular thing. Always try to pull over the bar at some point. Trust me when I say, you'll eventually be able to.
      Even these gyms that claim you will do a pull up using their system has one consistent theme: they go on the bar at some interval despite the fact that they do other things. So they build up the strength either way. Now doing pull up assist machine is great, and maybe that is good enough for you, but they will never sub an actual pull up. You have to pull up eventually to do a pull up.
