  • This is a principle that I have been using to teach thousands of Marines to do more Pull Ups. Overlooking the small area that this focuses on can result in a lower grip tolerance and reducing your strength overall!

    CZcams needs more content like this. Thanks for everything you do.
    I recently installed a 2x4 in the garage to mount a doorway chin up bar to, that edge will be perfect to start practicing on.

    Can't wait to try it!

    I hang from a thick ledge every day. It's great but depending on the ledge size you can't really use your thumbs. It's good in conjunction with using a pull-up bar like you said. Like the video.

  • @georgeh8937
    @georgeh8937 Před 18 dny

    this is something to train if you are doing the ultimate cliffhanger or the devil steps in a ninja gym. the wooden ledge on the cliffhanger is only an inch wide. just enough for your first finger joint.

  • @aleintstein

    One of keys to a pull up, for vast majority of men, is having body fat percentage less than 15, not having 30 percent body fat. That to me is the first item to accomplish.

    • @jf2849
      @jf2849 Před rokem +2

      It’s true the smaller you are the easier pull ups become. World strong man competitors as well as body builders usually hate pull ups some can do a few sure but I’ve never once seen a giant 300 lb guy do more pull ups than a reasonably fit guy half his size.

    I stopped the video at about 3 minutes in to go to exactly what you recommended against at 5:01.
    You're right it is difficult but my tendons had been strengthened enough to be safe fortunately.

    • @MichaelEckert
      @MichaelEckert  Před rokem +3

      It’s all about your tolerance to that style of training. Start in small doses. Tendons have very little blood flow so they take much longer to strengthen and repair. Just be consistent!

    I learned a lot from climbers friends, look at their training what they do to Hang with few fingers or throw themselves up with the pinkie haha
    Do pull ups with less fingers you gonna see! Hold your groceries bags with just one finger when you come home or help someone, push ups on fingers etc after you gonna be able to hang with just three fingers then you can have fun
    You can also try putting dictionary on your palm and back hand on table and push up with fingers only

    • @nerdyali4154
      @nerdyali4154 Před rokem

      Do NOT put too much stress on the finger adjacent to the little finger, or you could well end up with a chronic pain on the inside of the elbow. This is something that affects many who let their grip slide to the fingers when doing pull ups or pull downs.

    The pull up and flexed arm hang used to be part of the physical education class in my elementary school back in the late 70's. Whe use to have competitions on who could hang on longest. Plus we had a real iron monkey bar station that was 30 feet across and 10 feet high. Used those at recess everyday. Grip strenght is also acquired thru manual work. I've seen boys that were my age with twice the grip strength because of the chors on the farm. Nowadys we just cultivate a bunch of pussies with loud mouths that whine and push buttons. Shamefull really. It's gotten to the point where the military had to lower their admission standards.
