Official Checklist (like so people can revisit): Prerequisites 1. Strengthen your abdominal muscles 2. Strengthen your deadlift 3. Strengthen your scapula 4. Lower body fat (it’s more difficult to pull excess body weight) Positioning 1. Slightly wider than shoulder grip hand positioning 2. Grip deep into your palm (avoid a finger hook grip) 3. Plug energy leaks (Tighten your core, glutes, quads and keep your legs straight out and down in front of your body) The Pull 1. Look up towards where you’re pulling 2. Squeeze the bar (squeeze with your pinky and ring fingers, the rest of your hand will follow) 3. Reach for the bar with your chest 4. Dead hang stability (tighten your shoulders and scapula at the bottom of your pull and throughout. Queue- create space between your traps and ears, DONT relax your muscles)
Could you go through each video of Jeff and do this? That would be so much helpful If people need to review real quick before doing the exercise in the gym
Yea is there proper form when all you have is a lower bar and you're forced to bend knees? I'm assuming you can still tighten the glutes to help a little, not sure
Jeeses99 Tbh I think even if you try to minimize the knee bending, there’s another problem of my hands being too wide which honestly seems way more difficult for me compared to when I jump on a bar and can adjust my grip so that sucks.
@@nevillemathew6521 bend your knees infront of your body instead of behind of your body. It will activate your core a lot more and if you do a lot of reps you might actually end up getting a nice little core workout as well. You can also fully extent your legs infront of your body into an L sit for maximum core activation.
Make sure to *slowly* take your face muscles through their full range of motion and when you return to a serious face make sure you do it while focusing on the eccentric contraction of your face!

You are valuable, not an accident from nothing. “When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance.” - Isaac Newton. You and I, we broke God’s laws, whether you have have lied or stolen, said a bad word, hated someone, looked with lust, blasphemed (saying OMG), so on. A just judge is going to punish guilty criminals for their crimes and we deserve to go to Hell for our willful crimes. Imagine you are driving on the road and a police officer pulls you over for speeding and gives you a fine. So you say to yourself, "From now on I will not speed ever again" and you don't. But does that get rid of the fine you have already received? In the same way in our life, even if we try never doing anything wrong ever again and just do good things, it doesn't get rid of the punishment we deserve for the bad things we have already done. In the speeding fine example, the only way to get rid of the fine is to either pay the fine yourself or have someone willing to pay the fine for you. So in the same way, either we need to take our own punishment in hell forever, or we need someone who is perfect who is willing to take our hell punishment for us. God in His love despite our hatred toward Him, made a way for sinners to be forgiven without violating justice. He took on flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. He lived the sinless life we coudnt, and then offered Himself on the cross as a sacrifice for sin. Jesus took the wrath of God you and I deserved, then rose from the dead! If someone takes your Hell punishment then you can go to Heaven and only Jesus the only one who didn’t deserve it did that for us guilty criminals. Good works or trying to be religious can’t save you, only turning to God through trusting alone in Jesus can, and not only will He save you but change you so you won’t want to sin anymore. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” I recommend reading the Bible, the Book of John to start.

M, Prof Auckland University) Trust that Jesus took your punishment for you and so be 100% certain that you will go to heaven, causing you to start living your life for Him. We are not saved from our sins because the Romans beat up Jesus and killed Him! We are saved from our sins because when He was on the tree all of your sin was imputed to Him, and all the full force of God’s wrath of His holy hatred against you and your crimes, and me, and my crimes, that as a Holy God He must pour out.

"thoracic extension" - is this kind of detail that makes all the difference. The simplicity that shows all the expertise that makes Jeff the best youtube channel on fitness.
When I was twenty, this would have made no sense to me. But now that I’m sixty, these intricate details that Jeff takes the time to explain are what gets me through my workouts without injury. If you love to workout for fitness and aesthetics, nobody teaches better than this guy!
Mike Williams I’m 71 next month and just finished Ax1 at Elite level, thanks to Jeff I have visible abs for the first time in my life. I totally agree, without his warnings and advice I’d never have achieved this. It’s not that I want to do athletics. I just like feeling like and knowing that I can. Good luck in your future progress.
1. Grip the bar properly (deep into your palm) 2. Grip width: Slightly wider than shoulders 3. Legs slightly in front of your body, toes pointing down, quads flexed, glutes squeezed and abs flexed 4. Initiating the pull: squeeze the bar through the pinky and ring fingers. Eyes on the bar 5. Focus on pulling elbows down to your sides for better mind muscle connection. 6. Thoracic extension: Open your chest and attack the bar with it. 7. In the bottom position: Keep scapula down and back and shoulders low. Do not allow shoulders to raise to ear level or scapula to be raised into destabilized position.
I watch athlean x exclusively for the mobility and impingement knowledge. I too have two torn labrums.. Thank you for helping me stay safe all these years.
And when he is pressing the the buttons on the controller he must hold for a few seconds in order to increase muscular contraction of the fingers and thumbs
@@larslekvelifts I imagine there is a resistance machine in every room in his house, and the only way to unlock the door into the next room is to do a set of face-pulls
This is the most complete and detailed from basic noob to mastering a pull up complete guide, THE BEST GUIDE SO Far. So detail even a small details from head to toe like the ring finger and pinky finger when holding the bar. SALUTE TO THIS TRAINER
For daily- palm grip For competitive- fingers grip Inc ur deadlift Grip just wider than shoulders Look at the bar Legs in front,core,glutes tight to avoid energy leaks Squeeze the bar with ur pinky n ring the most for grip Attack the bar w ur chest,open the chest at the top Always dead hang Don't leave shoulders dead,create as much space as possiboe between your ears and traps/shoulders Don't relax your muscles throughout the movement!
Right now...I can't hang from a bar for more than 15 seconds but I got to say that you are something Jeff! You're an animal. I binge watch your videos.
I would just like to say that I just finished watching a video you posted 8 years ago and it was just as informational as the ones you make now, truly a YT fitness OG, respect
Leg press, start with a plate on each side and work your way up to 6 do 5 reps toes in 5 reps toes out and 15 reps on the calves for each set. Do 3 sets with 6 plates a side and then come down a plate each set. Be prepared to walk like you have a pickle up your ass 👊👊
Jeff, your advice on the end of the vid to avoid shoulder strain was extremely helpful. I've done a lot a pull-ups over the last 6 months and I was hanging far too low and lose. I'm actually in PT now thanks to a shoulder strain that I think was likely caused or exacerbated by my poor pull-up technique. Keep up the great videos - thank you!
I will be showing this video to all of my Marines (we do pullups for one of our fitness tests and people are constantly hurting their shoulders). Great video!!!!
Well. I learned 2 new thing i havent been doing: 1. placing my legs straight in front of me. I always place them beneath me and i sometimes make a cross shape with my legs. 2. going down while doing the pull up. I always go down completly. Not sure if i do the "deadhang" . But i did realise that being engaged while going down makes it easier to go up again. Thank you for the tips @jeff !
This guy saved MY LIFE! Watching these videos I literally PTed my left arm and hip. There was a point where I couldn’t even drive with my left arm. I would get a shooting pain above my shoulder. Watching all these informative videos i was able to pinpoint my problem and now I’m stronger than i ever was, even b4 my shoulder problem. IF YOU SEE THIS MAKE A PERFECT GLUTE ROUTINE ( if u havent already)
This guy is a god to give sooo much detailed and invaluable information, talking about mistakes and showing exactly why they are bad and how they can harm you, and showing how to do something which is difficult to do even once for many people across the world, to help out everyone for no personal gain.
Thank you Jeff. The energy leakage and the pinching through the last two fingers gave me so much power and stability through the pull-up. Amazing checklist. You da man.
A great video guys. Pull-ups took me from severe daily pain from a whiplash injury that happened 15 years previous to feeling almost pain free and much more stable. They really surprised me: I was able to DL more than twice my bodyweight without specifically training for that. Chin-ups and pull-ups, in my opinion, are one of the mist underrated exercises. I’ve been using the AX training programs
I tried this new form this morning and man does it make a huge difference. The location on the forearms that Jeff points out has always been bugging me on my pullups and this morning it didn't. Thanks Jeff! I had no idea I was doing this incorrectly.
This has to be the best tutorial advice for weight training. I’ve tried all these training variations and they have made a huge difference to my workouts. Definitely number 1 for training correctly and safety. 👍👍👍💪
Anyone else notice the messages on the screen in the background? Jesse's obviously been having some fun. 0:15 The first one says something like: 'If you're reading this, concentrate on the damn video!' 0:34 'Ok, now this is starting to get creepy... stop looking at me!' 3:40 'I said... watch the damn video!!' 7:06 'These are just words!! Why do you keep staring at them?!' 12:53 It all becomes clear! Someone's touchy! I wouldn't admit it, Jesse, or you'll be trolled by dead-eyed loons. Perhaps he's just bitter no-one noticed the screen message in the last video...
Thanks for adding the section about the dead hang! Been trying to find useful information for this part of the pull up and this video explained it well
Thanks, I always go full dead hang between each pullups because I thought that it would work the full ROM of this movement but what you shown was really eye opening, I'll do it this way next times and I'm sure I'll make tremendous progress now... (and maybe less upperback pain ;) ). Cheers!
Thanks @Crime Crimson and@Milad Prerequisites 1. Strengthen your abdominal muscles 2. Strengthen your deadlift 3. Strengthen your scapula 4.

In the bottom position: Keep scapula down and back and shoulders low. Do not allow shoulders to raise to ear level or scapula to be raised into destabilized position. 3. Legs slightly in front of your body, toes pointing down, quads flexed, glutes squeezed and abs flexed 4. Pull the bar to your chest. Thoracic extension: Open your chest and attack the bar with it. 5. Focus on pulling elbows down to your sides for better mind muscle connection.
1. strengthen abs hanging 2. dl 3. straight arm push down 4. lose fat 5.slight wider than shoulder width, get elbows in front of body an stretches lats 6. finger grip can lead to medial epicondylitis, grip deeper for more safety 7. legs out straight in front to plug energy leaks, point toes, straight knees, hips and tighten core 8. look up at bar, squeeze bar through ring and pinky finger since those are weakest, strong grip initiate process of pulling downward 9. think about pulling bar down to body, attack bar with chest for thoracic extension. straighten elbows at bottom but keep shoulder blades packed and stable, scap down and back, spine kyphosis prevents upward scap movement,
Squeezing your glutes, flexing your abs and tightening calves all at the same time to prevent energy leaks. And then pulling? And i thought pullups were easy 😂
Jeff Cavelier and you are the only ones I trust on UA-cam regarding fitness. Jeff says that a dead hang is a bad idea. For several reasons. So what do I do? He has a pull up checklist video.
I bend my legs cause my bar is in a doorway and I'm too tall, I can grab it with my feet on the floor. Impossible to keep a straight body while hanging :(
Hey Jeff, I struggle with pain from bicep and back workouts, specifically in my bicep, because of the struther's ligament. The more muscle I build, the more that ligament compresses my medien nerve and brachial artery... Can this be fixed with stretching? I was told by a chiropractor that I should avoid bicep based movements.... But that ain't gonna happen. . . Edit: this is on both arms.
Tried pullups about 3 months after getting back into the gym. I was dead-hanging thinking it was better for full reps, but glad I watched this. Able to do 15 when I couldn't do even one 3 months ago!

Jeff will you be joining the #4liftscompetition
1. Grip the bar properly (deep into your palm)
2. Grip width: Slightly wider than shoulders
3. Legs slightly in front of your body, toes pointing down, quads flexed, glutes squeezed and abs flexed
4. Initiating the pull: squeeze the bar through the pinky and ring fingers. Eyes on the bar
5. Focus on pulling elbows down to your sides for better mind muscle connection.
6. Thoracic extension: Open your chest and attack the bar with it.
7. In the bottom position: Keep scapula down and back and shoulders low. Do not allow shoulders to raise to ear level or scapula to be raised into destabilized position.
I watch athlean x exclusively for the mobility and impingement knowledge. I too have two torn labrums.. Thank you for helping me stay safe all these years.
Did I actually just win the giveaway? I didn't think it was real. After years of being a 'loyal subscriber'. Hell Yeah
What's your 30 day programme like?
Congrats! 💪
Tell us more! Give us hope!
Congrats man!!!

Jeff to his son: there will be no videogames until you have done your facepulls!
Lars Lekve 100 face pulls earns you half hour of video game time
Adrian1018 hahahaha I can picture me Jeff doing that
And when he is pressing the the buttons on the controller he must hold for a few seconds in order to increase muscular contraction of the fingers and thumbs
@@larslekvelifts I imagine there is a resistance machine in every room in his house, and the only way to unlock the door into the next room is to do a set of face-pulls
I wish i can like this comment more than once xD
That idea of focusing on squeezing with the weakest fingers is a concept they teach in Judo too, interesting overlap.
Lol, but it really isn't that he knew anything about Judo. It is just that it is good for pull ups
Well I mean, his phrase is "train like an athlete."

Wow. That grip tip around 5:20 explains so much to me with elbow pain I experience. Love your vids man!
Thanks Jeff, you’re videos are great!
Thank you for all the free lessons.

Jeff is exceptional. Played a great game against Real Madrid yesterday and today he makes a video for us. What a guy.

•Watch Jeff daily
•Get swole
•Facepulling the day away

This is the most complete and detailed from basic noob to mastering a pull up complete guide, THE BEST GUIDE SO Far.
So detail even a small details from head to toe like the ring finger and pinky finger when holding the bar.
SALUTE TO THIS TRAINER
For daily- palm grip
For competitive- fingers grip
Inc ur deadlift
Grip just wider than shoulders
Look at the bar
Legs in front,core,glutes tight to avoid energy leaks
Squeeze the bar with ur pinky n ring the most for grip
Attack the bar w ur chest,open the chest at the top
Always dead hang
Don't leave shoulders dead,create as much space as possiboe between your ears and traps/shoulders
Don't relax your muscles throughout the movement!
I dont understand what we do with shoulders. Dont let them relax or something?

Now my face is strong as hell!!!
😂😂😂😂
Right now...I can't hang from a bar for more than 15 seconds but I got to say that you are something Jeff! You're an animal. I binge watch your videos.
I would just like to say that I just finished watching a video you posted 8 years ago and it was just as informational as the ones you make now, truly a YT fitness OG, respect
How can I build big calves like Jesse's?
You just can't. The guy is a genetic freak.
may be you should do a leg pull-up
Ahmad Ahmad Double your body fat percentage and start doing Muay Thai worked for me 😂
Pfft. If you want to see calves, go see Omar Isuf's channel.
Leg press, start with a plate on each side and work your way up to 6 do 5 reps toes in 5 reps toes out and 15 reps on the calves for each set. Do 3 sets with 6 plates a side and then come down a plate each set. Be prepared to walk like you have a pickle up your ass 👊👊
I got a massive urge to bang out some pull-ups after watching this video
Make sure to wear protection
I feel like this was the first time I was actually taught how to do a pull-up and why to do it that way. Awesome vid!
I can't put my legs straight in a pull up cause I have the doorway thing and I'm too tall
Do an L-sit pullup lol
Pull ur legs slightly up forward, it’s more difficult but that’s better
wow so informative thanks, i always come back to your videos because i know you dont just yap, you actually know what you're talking about
Jeff, your advice on the end of the vid to avoid shoulder strain was extremely helpful. I've done a lot a pull-ups over the last 6 months and I was hanging far too low and lose. I'm actually in PT now thanks to a shoulder strain that I think was likely caused or exacerbated by my poor pull-up technique. Keep up the great videos - thank you!
I will be showing this video to all of my Marines (we do pullups for one of our fitness tests and people are constantly hurting their shoulders). Great video!!!!
David Rhodes you’re defiantly a liar
@@bigdog2432 why do you think so?
@@pavelandonov3345 Shut up bitch
War machine
Absolute Unit why'd you say that
We are crossing our legs behind our body becuase we are otherwise to tall for the average pull-up-bar.
Crow true man. I have a pull up door bar and i have to cross my legs behind my Body
I stick them out in front
do a halfway L-sit with pelvic tilt while doing pullsups if you have to, its really good and it works your core in the process.
@@gaben7431 nahh real niggas only go extremely limited range of motion so we cool with the legs
Crow time to find a taller bar
finally. A pullup/chinup video that talks about whether you should or shouldnt unpack your shoulders or not at the bottom. Cheers Jeff!
Well. I learned 2 new thing i havent been doing: 1. placing my legs straight in front of me. I always place them beneath me and i sometimes make a cross shape with my legs. 2. going down while doing the pull up. I always go down completly. Not sure if i do the "deadhang" . But i did realise that being engaged while going down makes it easier to go up again. Thank you for the tips @jeff !
Jeff thinks he is pulling himself UP but actually he is pulling earth DOWN.
Jeff is jacked but only Chuck Norris can do that.
@Finn The Goldfish that's not fat, it's stocked testosterone.
@Finn The Goldfish uh ...
@Finn The Goldfish your brain... Yeah, your brain is overrated

7:20 - "Look where you are going/targeting"...oddly, same brilliant advice applies to proper riding of a motorcycle.
Also applies to driving a car
Ah man 😂, I have to say, the comment section on Jeff's vids are gold, makes my day every time 😂😂 Keep up the good work and face pulls internet peeps!
This guy saved MY LIFE! Watching these videos I literally PTed my left arm and hip. There was a point where I couldn’t even drive with my left arm. I would get a shooting pain above my shoulder. Watching all these informative videos i was able to pinpoint my problem and now I’m stronger than i ever was, even b4 my shoulder problem. IF YOU SEE THIS MAKE A PERFECT GLUTE ROUTINE ( if u havent already)
I applied the last few pieces of advice to my lat pull downs and my shoulders have quit hurting! THANK YOU JEFF!
Wtf i literally bought a pull-up bar today and jeff uploads this
He knew that your pull up bar didn't come with the instruction manual 😜
That’s a 1 in 8.51 million chance 😂
@@James-303CO wish i could have taken that luck and won the giveaway
Did weighted pullups the other day. Would dead hang and my shoulder got sore. God bless you Jeff!!!
Thanks
Jeff please make videos about Perfect Push/Pull leg workouts.
@brentprodz thanks but rather than depending upon EMG studies I'd like to know it from the best of the best, the only true Jeff....hehe
@brentprodz my man!
This guy is a god to give sooo much detailed and invaluable information, talking about mistakes and showing exactly why they are bad and how they can harm you, and showing how to do something which is difficult to do even once for many people across the world, to help out everyone for no personal gain.
Thank you Jeff. The energy leakage and the pinching through the last two fingers gave me so much power and stability through the pull-up. Amazing checklist. You da man.
Omg I literally just did a pull up last year and now Jeff uploaded this video. Uncanny
As a beginner, checklist videos are my favourite!! Thanks for doing this!! Please don't stop this series.
A great video guys. Pull-ups took me from severe daily pain from a whiplash injury that happened 15 years previous to feeling almost pain free and much more stable. They really surprised me: I was able to DL more than twice my bodyweight without specifically training for that. Chin-ups and pull-ups, in my opinion, are one of the mist underrated exercises. I’ve been using the AX training programs
i have seen alot of pull up checklist and this by far is the best one out there. Kudos Jeff.
I tried this new form this morning and man does it make a huge difference. The location on the forearms that Jeff points out has always been bugging me on my pullups and this morning it didn't. Thanks Jeff! I had no idea I was doing this incorrectly.
This has to be the best tutorial advice for weight training. I’ve tried all these training variations and they have made a huge difference to my workouts. Definitely number 1 for training correctly and safety. 👍👍👍💪
Anyone else notice the messages on the screen in the background? Jesse's obviously been having some fun.
0:15 The first one says something like: 'If you're reading this, concentrate on the damn video!'
0:34 'Ok, now this is starting to get creepy... stop looking at me!'
3:40 'I said... watch the damn video!!'
7:06 'These are just words!! Why do you keep staring at them?!'
12:53 It all becomes clear! Someone's touchy! I wouldn't admit it, Jesse, or you'll be trolled by dead-eyed loons. Perhaps he's just bitter no-one noticed the screen message in the last video...
Yeah, I'm guilty too.
That's a pretty good catch I didnt even notice them lol
Easter eggs haha. Good eye.
I watched them too and laughed as I read them!

Always the best content with you, Jeff. Love the channel!
Thanks for adding the section about the dead hang! Been trying to find useful information for this part of the pull up and this video explained it well
Still the best channel on bodymechanics and correct execution.
What's the best leg position if you're doing pullups on a doorframe bar?
I want to say that im really grateful that, i finally see how i can perform correctly this exercise!
Thank you Jeff!
This is great! Can you make one on how to squat with weights properly plz?
He has.
And about 8 other videos on the squat too.
what are your thoughts on muscleups Jeff?
Thank you for all your series, probably the only respectable trainer that gives you all the facts to do every exercise right.
when jeff walks into a gym, they pay him a membership
I read that as The Official Pull-Out Checklist (AVOID MISTAKES!)
Better topic imo.
plug the leaks.
Step 1: don't, use proper methods

@Nathan Lu Check this tool for Pull ups guys! ua-cam.com/video/aOYAe8m7L58/v-deo.html
Thanks, I always go full dead hang between each pullups because I thought that it would work the full ROM of this movement but what you shown was really eye opening, I'll do it this way next times and I'm sure I'll make tremendous progress now... (and maybe less upperback pain ;) ).
Cheers!
this channel deserves to have at least 100 million subscribers!! Jeff is a beast but he's also super intelligent and his advice is always great!!!

Prerequisites
1. Strengthen your abdominal muscles
2. Strengthen your deadlift
3. Strengthen your scapula
4. Lower body fat (it’s more difficult to pull excess body weight)
Positioning
1. Slightly wider than shoulder grip hand positioning
2. Grip deep into your palm (avoid a finger hook grip)
3. Plug energy leaks (Tighten your core, glutes, quads and keep your legs straight out and down in front of your body)
The Pull
1. Grip width: Slightly wider than shoulders
Initiating the pull: squeeze the bar through the pinky and ring fingers.
Eyes on the bar
2. In the bottom position: Keep scapula down and back and shoulders low. Do not allow shoulders to raise to ear level or scapula to be raised into destabilized position.
3. Legs slightly in front of your body, toes pointing down, quads flexed, glutes squeezed and abs flexed
4. Pull the bar to your chest. Thoracic extension: Open your chest and attack the bar with it.
5. Focus on pulling elbows down to your sides for better mind muscle connection.
These drills have immediately changed my pull-ups. Feeling so much better and controlled on the bar. Thank you 😊
"Okay now this is starting to get creepy, stop looking at me" 😂
Guess Jessi read those comments about him staring into souls😂
I noticed that!
There were different messages on the "chalkboard" throughout the video, but that was the only one I could read. Funny stuff.
@@guytrying4534 Yeah the other one was broken by the mirror and flipped, couldn't make it out

I wish this was uploaded yesterday. I pulled a muscle in my back doing pull-ups yesterday. 🙄
10:58 Blackboard
Great technique. Clear explanations. Thank you for the video contribution.
Dr Dw
1. strengthen abs hanging
2. dl
3. straight arm push down
4. lose fat
5.slight wider than shoulder width, get elbows in front of body an stretches lats
6. finger grip can lead to medial epicondylitis, grip deeper for more safety
7. legs out straight in front to plug energy leaks, point toes, straight knees, hips and tighten core
8. look up at bar, squeeze bar through ring and pinky finger since those are weakest, strong grip initiate process of pulling downward
9. think about pulling bar down to body, attack bar with chest for thoracic extension. straighten elbows at bottom but keep shoulder blades packed and stable, scap down and back, spine kyphosis prevents upward scap movement,
I did it guys!! I won the giveaway! It's the ANABOLIX workout for those curious.
Share with me the blessing dude
@Finn The Goldfish it looks pretty tough. That could be that it looks that way because it's a bunch of exercises that I don't normally do.
Squeezing your glutes, flexing your abs and tightening calves all at the same time to prevent energy leaks. And then pulling?
And i thought pullups were easy 😂

This helped me so much! The hand grip (I started to feel elbow pain), the deadhang, the legs position... Such a great video! Thank you Jeff!
Jeff Cavelier and you are the only ones I trust on UA-cam regarding fitness. Jeff says that a dead hang is a bad idea. For several reasons. So what do I do? He has a pull up checklist video.
I bend my legs cause my bar is in a doorway and I'm too tall, I can grab it with my feet on the floor. Impossible to keep a straight body while hanging :(
Same bro I’m not even tall either and the same thing happens to me
Hey Jeff, I struggle with pain from bicep and back workouts, specifically in my bicep, because of the struther's ligament. The more muscle I build, the more that ligament compresses my medien nerve and brachial artery... Can this be fixed with stretching? I was told by a chiropractor that I should avoid bicep based movements.... But that ain't gonna happen. . .
Edit: this is on both arms.
Damn son, that's really serious. Send him a mail with pictures and every other details
@@ubermensche60 is it? Well then. My chiropractor didn't seem too nervous so I was more calm about it. Now you got me nervous. Lol
@@peetos-chan2835 well maybe it isn't that serious anyways. Just for safety purposes, do contact Athlean x
Chiropractors aren't legitimate sources of medical knowledge. A doctor or physical therapist would be better.
Tried pullups about 3 months after getting back into the gym. I was dead-hanging thinking it was better for full reps, but glad I watched this. Able to do 15 when I couldn't do even one 3 months ago!
very helpful... new to pullups ... determined to improve but the grip was bothering my elbow... glad I watched this
Right I see most people do pull ups with folded knee. Chris Heria on thenx also said to thighten everything; abs, glutes, legs.
