  • THESE 5 HACKS WILL DOUBLE YOUR PULL UPS.
    .
    Pull ups are largely a product of technique and when the technique fails, your pull ups become almost impossible.
    .
    Here’s a blanket statement and challenge for you guys, I KNOW you’ll be able to do one chest to bar if you follow these five hacks to the letter. And...the challenge is, try it, do one, and send me the video, and I’ll post YOU!
    .
    ❌Question 1 - how is your body on the bar? Rigid or loose? If you’re loose anywhere in your kinetic chain, you’ll hemorrhage horsepower that should be going into the bar.
    1️⃣HACK 1 - Systemic Rigidity sequence - hang from the bar, then, squeeze your butt, tuck into posterior tilt, lock out your legs, point your toes.
    .
    ❌Question 2 - what is your grip doing on the bar? Thumbs around or over? Narrow or wide? Pull apart or squeezing together? A narrow group recruits the brachioradialis which isn’t designed to lift your body weight. Pull apart the bar reduces available power by actively turning off muscle.
    2️⃣HACK 2 - your hands must be a thumb width wider than your shoulders, squeeze the bar with your grip, try to squeeze the bar ‘together.’
    .
    ❌ Question 3 - where do your elbows point? If they point to your hips, your forcing the joint into a compromised position, and losing power.
    3️⃣HACK 3 - place your arms out in the scapula plane, keep your elbows in that orientation throughout the entire pull up.
    .
    ❌Question 4 - what does the top of your pull up look like? Your chin doesn’t help you get a pull up.
    4️⃣HACK 4 - use your chest as a target, that is what you’re trying to touch to the bar, pull your T spine into extension.
    .
    ❌Question 5 - are you going into a dead hang for your pull up? If so, you’re placing it in the most compromising position.
    5️⃣HACK 5 - keep your shoulders away from your ears, flex the biceps and triceps at the bottom while the elbows are locked out.
    .
    Go get some pull ups!!

      @burnerjack01 Před 3 lety +4

      With a 12 hr rest between the two reps? LOL. But hey, I see a lot of 'challenges that use a "per day" goal. I have no doubt that it works.

      What does being flexible have to do with claiming that I can go from 13 pullups today to 26 pullups tomorrow. Bs is bs, even if coming from a contortionist

    I can't believe I've been doing this wrong for 30 years. Instant improvement. Almost doubled my reps! Thanks Trev

  • @nhojnhoj6485
    @nhojnhoj6485 Před 3 lety +36

    Great advice. If you are a beginner, this could definitely double your pullups. If your advanced, you might get 1 or 2 more reps. That doesn't sound like a lot but believe me, when you're doing 30+ strict pullups, it can take weeks or months just to add 1 or 2 reps. So this video is gold.

      Proper stance (can't stress this enough) pushup is the gateway to pullups. Plus its easier to learn body rigidity and form sustainment in horizontal position exercises. Pullups is the next level.

    The tip about not unloading at the bottom completely is of paramount importance. I went from 1 pull up to 10-12 range but injured my shoulders bc I would hang incorrectly like trevor showed. Did not understand why I was developing so much pain in my anterior shoulder til now. Makes so much sense. Thank you for making this video!

    I don’t know how this channel came up on my feed but over last 2 days I’ve been watching 4-6 hours of your videos. Luv the content and realism. Straight forward real dude. I would be encouraged to go to a boot camp with this dude and learn in a outdoor setting. Since Covid home workouts and calesthetics have been my focus and this channel seems to provide a wealth of knowledge. I’ll try some of these fixes in the next few day’s and see if it works

    • @herc1305
      @herc1305 Před 3 lety +1

      I don't really agree with Trevor on dead hangs being bad since it's widely recommended to do them for shoulder health. Not to mention many people start out trying to do pull ups by doing scapula pull ups, which is dead hang and then depress scapula into an active hang. I'm 185lbs, not really heavy, but not lite either.
      I do drop down to a dead hang for most of my reps. I did get a shoulder pain from pull ups. I have a bad habit of pulling up right when I grasp the bar and I think I did some of those without first depressing the scapula to an active hang before pulling up. I usually do each rep for a set at a slow tempo, but sometimes I go at a faster tempo and I think when I do that, some of my reps I probably started pulling up as I am depressing the scapula.
      I have since made sure that I have depressed the scapula before pulling up and if I do a faster tempo, I just go down to an active hang. My shoulder pain is mostly gone and have returned to doing pull ups for over a week now.

    • @corysturgis6660
      @corysturgis6660 Před 3 lety

      I can feel feel the muscles let go when I hang. Everything he says makes sense to me
      I watched videos that said to hang to fix shoulder impingement. I'm sticking with Trevor's advice and not hanging to low.

    Wow, that was a super helpful video. I'm just starting to build back my pull-ups now at age 73 / 6'3" / 216 lbs. Your system is working fantastically. I'm also using it for dips. So far, real good. I'm also going to use it for push-ups using rings. Being able to see light clearly at the end of the tunnel has done wonders for my enthusiasm and self-confidence.
    You described beautifully the proper body positioning and kinetics for pull-ups. You're in sinct with the gymnasts I follow on CZcams. My problem is that at 6'3", there are no bars high enough in any of the gyms around here to where I can actually assume that position, especially with pointed toes. This is a real problem I'm yet to solve.

    The que I've always heard whether on bench push-ups or pull-ups, is to externally rotate the hands. Twist and break the bar. Same for squat, rotate the feet externally sets the acl into integrity and when slack shows up it pushes yoir knees to the side 😊

    if your doing any type of pull up regularly you're in the 1% club.
    2nd
    everyone has different bodies types different needs.
    3rd
    as a life long pull up dude at age of 55 both shoulders went out.
    i researched and went close grip on all exercises and self healed shoulders.
    cheers
