- The pull-up is one of the most commonly performed, and misperformed, exercises in the gym. In this video, I’m going to show you how to never do them incorrectly again and give you the fixes for the 10 most common pullup mistakes. Whether you can do 10 pull-ups or more now or struggle to do one, you’ll find this incredibly helpful and I guarantee you will be doing more reps by the time the video is over.

The first thing you need to be aware of is how you are gripping the bar. If you grip too narrow you will shift the focus of the movement from the stronger back muscles to the weaker muscles of the forearms. You want to make sure you are just outside of shoulder width with the hand placement for optimal performance on this exercise.
That said, the brachioradialis and brachialis are muscles that are going to be contributing to the pullup and your ability to do the most reps possible so you are going to need to train them. You just don’t want them being the main drivers of the exercise. To supplement your back muscles in the exercise, be sure to include some cross body hammer curls as shown to increase the strength of the forearms and your overall strength on the pullup.
Regarding the grip placement, it isn’t enough to just get the hand spacing down. You also want to be sure that you direct your pressure in the right way. Most people simply pull straight down on the bar or worse, they pull outwards because they’ve been told this will increase the activation of the lats. Both of these aren’t optimal. The best thing you can do is squeeze your hands inward towards each other and down at the same time. This will engage much more upper body muscle activation that will make your body feel as if it is floating up above the bar on every rep, instantly.
Much of this has to do with plugging kinetic looseness (or energy leaks as I call them). You can take this even a step further by contracting other areas of your body that often get ignored during the exercise like your legs, ankles and core. Instead of dangling from the bar and letting your knees hang loosely, tighten you quads, point your feet down and really contract your core muscles and you will see an instant improvement in your ability to lift your body up over the bar.
Now you don’t want to take these measures and then let it all loosen up when you get to the bottom of the rep. Most importantly, you do not want to get lax during the hanging portion of the pullup. This will place too much strain on the shoulders and is called unpacking. Instead, even though you want to get fully straightened at the elbows you want to keep your shoulder blades pulled down and back to create shoulder stability. This will allow for a lifetime of injury free pullups and more growth from the exercise.
There are other biomechanical flaws that you will want to avoid with your pullups that I cover here but I also want to point out a couple of the programming issues that are often done incorrectly as well. For instance, you don’t want to always save your pullups for the end of your workout. Too often, because they are a bodyweight exercise, we save them for after we have already done our rows, deadlifts or pulldowns. You will never get the most out of the exercise when done in a fatigued state like this. Try moving them to the front of your workout and you will be surprised at how quickly you see gains just by making the switch.
Finally, the exercise like any other, will respond to intensification techniques like drop sets and changes in the weight used during it. Use a band to accommodate your fatigue and get more total reps done in a workout - either as a drop set or as a simple lightening of the load as you would with any other traditional back exercise in your workout.
If you’re looking for a program that will help you to do many more pullups while at the same time getting you in the best overall shape of your life, head to athleanx.com at the link below and follow the same step by step training that has created ripped athletic bodies for men and women of all ages and all levels of athleticism.

The pullup is not the only exercise that is commonly misperformed. As a matter of fact, I made a video on how the squat is performed incorrectly and how to make sure you don't make those mistakes ever again - czcams.com/video/BZ1TUVr4LFk/video.html

Started doing pull-ups like Jeff recommends in October 2021. Could barely do any and never did them regularly for years. I do them first thing (after stretching), and now my first set is 20 reps. I will go do a non-lat exercise, and come back and do 10-15, and then do a third set of 10. I do that 3X per week. I'm 67 years old, 225 lbs, and a slender 6'7". I am confident I am nowhere near what will be my max number. I also occasionally (at the top) pull my body horizontal, but I cannot yet hold that position. I get people commenting on my reps all the time, because I've never seen others doing it like Jeff! Thanks, man!
Back before I messed up my shoulder on a motorbike I could do a set of 25 and I could do the horizonal thing you are describing. I would crack 150 of them a night at times and also do dips and pushups. Anyways 2 years in the future my shoulder has slowly recovered and I'm now again starting to workout again. I can maybe do 10 pull ups on my first set if I strain myself excessively, but at the moment 5 seems to be where I'm at. I had forgotten these tips in the video which I had seen back then. I hope to learn to do 10 effortlessly within a month using these tips. I'm stoked listening to your story; it motivates me.
Back a month ago I could barely hang on the dip position because my shoulder would show discomfort. So instead I had been trying to do isolated exercises regularly for overall strength. Then I started doing assisted dips on the machine with 30 pound assist. Then last week a 20 assist. And no pain. And today I decided to do a 10 pound assist and was going with it until I told myself let me try it without the assist and to my surprise I cracked 10. I got curious and cracked me 4 or 5 sets of them. I am so happy to be making a comeback.
LOL these two. Videos or it never happened. 150 reps LOL.
@@goatlps I get what you are saying, but I don't really care if you believe me. Joe doing 150 "a night" is doable if the sets are not too close together. A few years back (I was 60), I did a rotation of push-ups, wall-assisted handstand presses, and pull-ups over a span of several hours, doing non-workout things in between sets. I hit a peak of 400 push-ups, 80 pull-ups, and about 30 handstand presses, SPREAD over several hours. Try it and see for yourself.
@@JoeHernandez-lp2tw Glad it motivated you. I didn't ever suspect that I could do what I do, but I set my mind to it and ... "Voila!"

@@birgitschenk9663 make notes+rewatch)
Wow, write this down in history, I got something right in Jeff's criteria. Pull ups ARE the first thing I do on back day. Forget about the 9 other things I do wrong, I feel good.
Yeh I thought that one was pretty obvious... Who the hell does them at the end? They are one of the hardest exercises to master and require a lot of energy - you'd think it would make sense to do them when you're fresh. My back is devastated after I'm done with my workout, I would hardly be able to do 2 pullups and I normally do 10 clean and controlled ones in my first set.
Jeff you have all the info bro i love what you do it has helped me so much
The absolute BEST real world advice for all levels - love your work man!
Jeff has literally changed the way I look at weights and working out. Even small tweaks here and there have helped in the long run. Bless your soul papa Jeff!!!
What I initially thought were small tweaks turned out to make HUGE differences in my workout and physique.
Fair play joe
@@petervaughan7961 it's the things many meatheads or gym heads over look. Sure lifting big weights is cool but body maintenance in the long run is better and smarter!!!
Joe mama I remember the first few months I was working out I didn’t know WTF I was doing. Now i can walk in the gym and know there’s very low chances of me injuring myself. To this day, I still see juiced up roid heads doing upright rows and I just laugh inside.

Thanks, Jeff. Your knowledge is much appreciated. I’ll incorporate it tomorrow ❤
I don’t think many people realize how much effort Jeff puts into his videos, not only the video it’s self but the description to.
Not much. He actually likes to post the same video every few months
The dude has many subs I'm pretty sure he has a team that does that
As he repeats topics, he modifies them. Maybe amends a few things, focuses on a part of it, finds an additional mistake to add, posts based on trends from his clients, etc. The man does it how it should be. Plus a video may collect cobwebs otherwise.
Like I wouldn't have ever known to pull "in" while pulling down if he never posted this video to be suggested to me by CZcams. It's going to help !
Every piece of gym equipment should have a TV tutorial of this legend next to it 😂
Straight facts
Got it all clear and well understood. Best coach ever honestly guys . Thanks Jeff
What a brilliant range of tips on pull ups .. great great Jeff . Thank you
me: takes a shit in the morning
Jeff: You are wasting your energy by dispersing the force outward because you dont engage your calves enough.
skaterfugater hahahahahha
Because engaging your calves lifts the makes the iliotibial tract pull on the glutes and increases the angle the pelvis and reducing the strain on the colon 😉 Hmmm, I wonder why I thought of this now 🤔

The BEST video I have ever seen on pull ups. Been doing tons of pull ups since I was a young Marine 20+ years ago. I learned a lot here, thanks
Hey Jeff & the Athlean-X Crew. I would like to share my journey in regards to this video and as a way of thanking you for all your hard work!
To everyone taking the time reading this, I hope my story can inspire anyone who's trying or wanting to make a change.
In January 2019 I weighed over 105kg(232lb) at 180cm(5ft 11in) tall. I had no actual set goal to change my lifestyle at the time, but for some reason it happened in an unexpected natural way.
The first thing I did was changing my diet by avoiding carbs and focusing on healthy fats. Basically LCHF, however not as a strict short term diet with the sole purpose of losing weight.
More of a general lifestyle change where I simply did whatever I felt like doing, whenever I could and wanted to.
In combination with this change, I completely stopped drinking Alcohol. Even though I had been drinking almost everyday for about 2 years (I was a Scotch-collector).
Technically I could still enjoy a nice Scotch once in a while since it more or less contains no carbs if not zero (Depending on what kind).
Decided to 100% exclude Alcohol regardless and after just a month I started to get noticeable results, 'before' any exercising. (My wallet also thanked me).
This is where your channel/videos and especially Pull-UPs starts to play a major role.
I happened to have a Doorway Pull-UP bar in the entrance hallway from years back (never took it down for some reason) which I passed at least 50 times per day.
Because of my overweight and me barely moving around. I of course started to suffer from a lot of pain in my neck, shoulders and back as a result.
So to relieve some of the extreme tension and pain in those areas/muscles, I started to simply 'hang' from the bar once in a while to stretch (since I passed it anyway).
It helped relieving the pain/tension temporarily, but at the same time it made me realize how tragically weak I was.
Simply 'hanging' from the bar was ridiculously exhausting and I couldn't pull my self up even an inch, which was devastating.
However, the next several months I continued to hang from the bar everyday and tried to pull myself up towards the bar as if doing a normal Pull-UP.
Having lost about 20kg(44lb) at the end of May/beginning of June by sticking to my routines, hanging from the bar and trying to pull my self up.
I finally started to more or less reach the bar and it felt amazing! So I kept at it!
Then you uploaded "The Official Pull-UP Checklist" Video that I watched several times and followed the checklist meticulously.
At the end of 2019 I'd lost over 40kg(88lb) without counting the weight from muscle gain and now able to perform close to picture perfect Pull-UPs.
Today, with great joy and pride! I weigh in at about 67.5kg(148lb), having gained over 7kg(15lb) muscle weight by eating healthy and doing Pull-UPs.
I'm now able to do more variations of Pull-UPs e.g adding weights and progressively incorporating other muscle groups.
Without having the proper knowledge to build a solid foundation for good results and avoiding injuries. I wouldn't have come this far.
Your videos helped provide me with that. Which is why I wanted to share this story and to say: Thank you Jeff and the Athlean-X Crew for what you do.
Best wishes from Sweden,
- Nate

This is awesome
You went from overweight to skinny, man. At 180cm you should be at least 70kg. I don't know how you can do even one pull-up this way. In high school I was 180/70, I was skinny, and was able to do like 2-3 pull-ups most...
Every school in the world with a gym or a weight lifting facility needs your entire videos and knowledge to be their primary focus on teaching the future generations of athletes.
Thanks for doing these videos. It helped me improve my scores for my Army APFT.
This style of video is awesome and such a game changer for me. I mean you are always thorough with your covering of technique and it is much appreciated. 👍💪
This was an interesting experiment. I did 3 pull-ups at every tweak (squeeze the bar, plug the leaks, elbows in front, etc). I lost track of how many total pull-ups but by the end of the video, my form improved tremendously and the pull-ups themselves felt stronger. I actually had gas in the tank on the last set without the band. I almost doubled my PR before failure! Thanks, Jeff.
And just like that, thousands of CrossFitters' heads exploded
Ha! Oh you mean I'm not suppose to use my feet and legs during a pullup?

Just tried squeezing my hands together while doing a pull-up and let me tell you Jeff was not kidding when he said you feel like your floating on air.
I'll try that on back day
I will try this today
I will try this one day
I'll try this
I will
Good stuff. . Thank you for the tips. . I will pass them along. .
the chest thing is crazy, it's suddenly much easier to pull myself up when I'm flexing my chest
man i have been trying to figure out where i've been going wrong! and it's with the chest and the elbows a little ahead of your chest -- no video, absolutely no video (and trust me i've watched hundreds of videos on how to do pull ups right) talks about these things in half as much detail as Jeff does.
Girl: Twerking
Jeff: you doing that wrong
Would be cool if Jeff made an optimal twerk rep guide
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Was not funny.
Make sure your glutes go through a full range of motion
@@MealTeam6 funny, did laugh
"Instead of pulling out, pull your in hands together" - Jeff 2020
Thanks Jeff... Now I'm going to be a father!
I was looking for a comment like this! XD
Congratulations!
Was it a good nut?
Jeff: you did that wrong too
😅😅😅
It’s pull up day, so I watch this until I incorporate all the suggestions. Literally the best video I’ve seen (and I’ve seen quite a few) on the best techniques for pull ups.
Thankyou so so much for all that you share . You have helped me in so many ways. I have had shoulder issues for years and trained for years and have done many things in what I believed was correct form and they were not 🙏🏻
