    The Pull-Up is an excellent compound exercise and one of our favorites to perform. It's also great because it's a body weight exercise so it can be done without equipment and performed almost anywhere. The only problem? It's hard as hell to do. So here are three great exercises which will prepare you for the mighty PULL-UP.
    INVERTED ROWS (Horizontal Row) 1:09
    Works: Lats, Traps, Rear Delts, Biceps, Grip Strength
    If grip strength is an issue when attempting to perform Pull-Ups, the Inverted Row is a great place to start.
    Improving overall back strength, it is also a great substitute for Bent-Over Rows if you're also having issues with tight hips and hamstring muscles.
    To Perform, lie back on the floor inside your squat rack with bar at arms length. Use the same grip as a pull-up - a pronated grip. Grip the bar slightly outside shoulder width. Keep your elbows closer to your body, about a 45 degree angle to your armpits.
    Lead with your chest (not your stomach or head) and pull your shoulder blades back and down as you pull upwards and tighten your upper back at the top position. Also, keep your body rigid by keeping your core tight. Try and perform at least 10 solid reps. This will be the first progression to Pull-Ups.
    LAT PULLDOWNS 2:06
    Works: Lats, Traps, Rear Delts, Biceps, Grip Strength
    This is a great exercise that mimics the pull-up motion but allows you to control the load placed on the back. Grab the bar with a grip that is wider than shoulder width and palms facing away from you. Start with arms fully extended and begin the movement by pulling the shoulder blades down and back while bending the elbows and pulling them downward and close to the body till the bar lightly touches the upper chest. The upper body should be upright and stationary while performing this exercises. Perform between 8-12 reps of this exercise.
    ISO-ECCENTRIC JUMPING PULLUPS 2:51
    Works: Lats, Traps, Rear Delts, Biceps, Grip Strength
    This is the last progression exercise for doing the mighty pull-up. Once you've gained confidence using the other two exercises and you feel your grip strength is solid, grab onto a pullup bar and jump into the top position, where your chin is above the bar, shoulder blades down and back and chest up (the last 2 progressions will have helped you with the strength, grip and confidence for proper form) and hold that position at the top - if you can - for 5 seconds and then slowly lower yourself to the bottom position while counting to 5. If you can't hold stationary for 5 seconds at the top of the bar, just try and complete the second part, which is slowly lowering yourself for 5 seconds. Repeat this motion again and again, working up to 10 reps of 5 seconds holding and 5 seconds slowly lowering yourself to the bottom position. Try and hit at least 10 reps with this exercise.
    Your timeline may vary based upon your strength and conditioning, but if you are unable to do a single pull-up, stick with these exercises 2-3 days a week as you gain strength and confidence.
    Once you feel you're ready - it's time to climb that mountain peak and slay the mighty pull-up.
    GOOD LUCK, DUDES, WE BELIEVE IN YOU.

    My friend showed me the proper form for lat pulldowns. He said I should jerk the bar down using my back. He said lighter weights were for pussies, so he got me started on the heavier weights. The guys around the gym were looking at me and scratching their heads like "Wow, how is he pulling so much weight? He's strong!" I was so proud of myself. I did about five reps before they took me out on a stretcher. I thank my friend, because I know that no excruciating pain means no gain.

      Lmfao he forgot to mention use bad posture to get the proper range of motion.

    • @SimonftBronx
      @SimonftBronx Před 10 lety +24

      No offence friend, but the guys around the gym were probably looking at you and scratching their heads because of you using terrible form, and not because of your strength.

    Thank you so much for the addition of "Your timeline may vary based on your strength and conditioning." I've NEVER been able to do a pull up, and have been upset at these videos saying to simply try this exercise or that exercise and you'll be able to do them. I'm losing fat, gaining muscle, and dude does it feel GOOD!

      Pamela Morales Its seems a few of us we be interested to know when you achieve your first pull up. I remember when I couldn't do one. These days I just do sets of 4 slow pull ups. I not so concerned about my rep max. But as an exercise I love it. Hope it happens soon.

    • @pmoralesprado
      @pmoralesprado Před 9 lety +1

      Thank you Miele Rodriguez for your interest. I'm still not able to perform even one I'm still trying though. I'm doing exercises that will eventually help me to be able to perform pull-ups.. I hope I can perform at least 1 by the end of this year. I'm not giving up, one day I'll be able to perform them like nothing ☺️

  • @PanamanianMan317
    @PanamanianMan317 Před 8 lety +3

    One good tip is to do excercises to strengthen not only the lats and the traps, but also very importantly the forearms, most especially the brachioradialis muscle, which is the key arm muscle for pullups. Reverse bicep curls and hammer curls are the best forearm excersises (some people also do reverse wrist curls to help as well), they give the BR muscle a kick and prepare it for pullups in the future. Don't forget to train the lats, rhomboids, traps, etc. as well. You can optionally add wrist wraps or gym chalk to avoid grip loss.

    Good exercises. I don't have a Lateral Pull-down bar at my gym but have a pull-up bar so I've just placed one of my legs on a support to help me pull myself up to do reps. I try to as many reps as I can and hopefully will be able to do full pull-ups in the future. Weighing 120kg makes doing pull-ups extra hard, but I'm getting there slowly. Will try to follow these exercises in the future, thanks dudes.

    Good stuff! Do you do any pull up variations? It would be cool if you made a video on your favorite variations and included info on what muscles those would target, specifically. Not asking for Barstarzz super pull ups, which I couldn't do anyway. Just variations which you find useful. Thanks for all your great work, and I love the voice!

    Many thanks to the Dudes, I was able to do my first pullup (deadhang) after 3 months, after 6 months I can do up to 6 pullups :D. These Dudes rocks!
