- To perform a picture perfect pullup, there are few things you need to keep in mind. This checklist will lay the foundation for proper pullup form, whether you are working on your first pullup or you’re trying to do even more pullups than you are doing now. In this video, I am going to give you details on the prerequisites. setup, and execution of the pullup, including one all-important caveat that will help to keep your shoulders healthy.

Before you even jump up to the bar, there are a few prerequisites that are important to take note of. To start, it is important to strengthen your abs, as they help provide strength and stability throughout the exercise, but also train them while hanging from the bar. Secondly, you should work on strengthening your deadlift as well as you’re working on pulling strength that will transfer to the pullup. You should also note the importance of strong scapulae, as they are key in the execution of a pullup. You can do this by including straight arm pushdowns into your workouts. Finally, the last prerequisite is your bodyweight to strength ratio. Carrying excess weight / body fat will make the pullup incredibly difficult as you are pulling more weight.
Next, is the setup of the pullup and that starts with your grip, elbow positioning, and what to do with your legs. The bar should be deep into your grip as to help avoid undo stress on the deep flexor tendons that can cause medial epicondylitis. However, a hook grip can be used sparingly in order to perform as many reps as possible, but is not ideal in the long term.
You should be grabbing the bar just outside shoulder width as this will give you the optimal pulling position. Too narrow or too wide can cause the wrong muscles to take the brunt of the work, as well as limiting the number of pullups that you can do. Proper grip width is also related to elbow positioning, as too wide will also take the elbows away from the front of our body and more to the outside, instead of infront of your body (the ideal position). Your legs should be out in front of your body slightly, toes pointing down, quads flexed, glutes squeezed and abs flexed to plug any common energy leaks.
When it’s time to execute the movement, make sure to squeeze the bar through the pinky and ring fingers as they are the weakest digits involved in the pullup. Make sure to look up at the bar on your ascent and don’t think of pulling your body off the floor and to the bar; think of pulling the bar to your body! The last point to remember on the execution is to “attack the bar” with your chest. This will open your back into thoracic extension which is important to scapular movement.
For that all important caveat in the execution of the pullup, when you reach the bottom of the movement, don’t unpack your shoulders! Dead hang does NOT mean destabilize. Instead of allowing your shoulders to come up to ears when you hang from the bar, keep your shoulder blades down and back. This, in conjunction with thoracic extension (attack the bar with your chest) allows for stable but mobile scapular upward rotation and will help to keep your shoulders healthy.
As you can tell, the pullup is not just as simple as grabbing the bar and hoisting yourself up. It’s not just what exercises you do, but how you do them, that matters the most.

Those microfractures in the weights need time to heal after all
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)
Bakii
Crime Crimson
Nice! Thanks for the summary 👍
Queue your ass where is the caveat
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
You don't see many Baki fans nowadays
This contradicts most of what I've learned from my past 3 years of doing crossfit. Glad I found this video before I got an injury.

@@noodlejutsu I come in love, out of genuine care I want you to know the good news! 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. The Bible was written by 40+ authors in a span of 1500+ years with 66 books in 3 continents remaining consistent fulfilling 2500+ prophecies backed up with 25000+ archaeological evidence, with 57000+ manuscripts, 2.7 million+ texts. “The evidence for the life, death, and resurrection of Christ is better authenticated than most of the facts of ancient history.” (E. 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. He poured out on His own Son! Trust alone in Him today, and tell others about the Good news of how they can be saved through Jesus as well!! “We have more evidence for Jesus than we have for almost anybody from his time period.” Scholarly fact.

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

@@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
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.
"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.
So very true!
I appreciate the body weight checklist videos the most as a home gym guy
The thing is I have a pull up bar in between the door rack so I got no choice but to bend my knees.
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.
Jeeses99 my gym is a 3 min walk from condo
@@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.
I guess Jessie lost too much fat and turned to bones

Great content. So many people don’t take an eye on core strength in pull ups, it’s a big factor, great video Jeff.
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!
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!
Wow. That grip tip around 5:20 explains so much to me with elbow pain I experience. Love your vids 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
As a beginner, checklist videos are my favourite!! Thanks for doing this!! Please don't stop this series.
Thanks Jeff, I'm going to apply these tips tomorrow and every other time when I train!
wow! Thank you so much Jeff. I have been struggling to do pull-ups but today I chanced upon your video and for the very first time I was able to do proper pull-up...
You're amazing. I am tall and heavy and am starting to do pullups and this will help me tremendously. Thank you for all you do.
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!
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!
I applied the last few pieces of advice to my lat pull downs and my shoulders have quit hurting! THANK YOU JEFF!
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.
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!
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

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.

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.
@@davecolvin4534 Yeah the other one was broken by the mirror and flipped, couldn't make it out
😂😂😂😂
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.
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
First off, thanks Jeff!! After seeing a men's health article you did I tried some of your advice. This tutorial has been an incredibly helpful tool. I had been doing pull ups wrong my entire life!Integrating these over the course of A couple weeks,Increased my pull ups Right off the bat and I hit my goal early!Also explaining the shoulder angles Really opened my eyes and Did hit my lats better And reduced shoulder pain.
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 👊👊
My bar is too cool for me, it won't let me hang
One more fabulous video Jeff. Thanks a lot to show us your expertise and knowledge. I will add video to my favorites.
Thank you so much Jeff! Really appreciate it. I have struggled to increase my pull ups. I know a lot of it has to do with my scapular strength. This spoke right to that issue, thank you. I have pushed to train my scapular muscles and my rotator cuff to have better functionality. I have had shoulder discomfort for the past year and I don't want it to turn into pain. I have definitely noticed a major difference in my form and how my strength and each rep feels when I don't go to a complete deadhang at the bottom without keeping the back engaged and stable. My pull day is tomorrow and can't wait to try out the checklist! Advice to anyone out there struggling with increasing reps on pull ups...really go back to the basics, study your form, and use a chair even if you need to to make sure you are doing them right. It's never worth an injury just for one or two additional reps!
I wish this was uploaded yesterday. I pulled a muscle in my back doing pull-ups yesterday. 🙄
11:25 I never realized how good Jeff's posture was until he let his shoulder cave lol.
Face pulls. Lol
For me, maybe one of your best videos. Thank you, as always.
You Sir are the most valued trainer I know, Thank You!
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!
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
You're the BEST reference around. GTnx 4 sharing Jeff !
Wow! This is exactly what I needed, gonna start tomorrow putting these tips into action💪🏾💪🏽💪🏿
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 😂
Your videos have helped me so much with my shoulder problems. Thanks so much !
Thanks for this video. Especially for the pull up pre-requisite excesises. I will definitely include these strengthening exercises in my plan.
Roses are red, violets are blue... Jeff does face pulls, and so should you.
Rotator Cuff 👎
If you want to watch some pull ups, then watch "Hannibal for king". He is the king of old school workout/calisthenics.
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!
This was more than enough information to critique the pullups I've been doing. Thanks Jeff.
Glad I rewatched this, I have been doing pull ups since lock down, now I know why my elbow hurts, I quite often find my self hanging on my the ends of my fingers.
