Hey man remember me? I'm the guy who could do chin ups but not one pull up. I've been training Australian pull ups as you said, and now I can do pull ups. 🤣 It's crazy how horizontal movement is underrated
Thanks for clarifying the scapula pre-setup vs. continuous…was confusing me. The pre-set pause feels unnatural and more tiring. I’m also lacking the ELBOW BACK movement, no wonder I’m stuck at the chin!! Need to work on that, THANKS! Started weight training again, but I wish I wasn’t 66 yrs. old and did calisthenics earlier in life 😅
This is great stuff, thanks for posting! These tips are useful and educational. I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. Have you ever used any of these custom meal plan tools? I got one from Next Level Diet to help me add some muscle and I actually like their plans. Was just wondering if you've heard of or tried any of them yourself. Thank you!
Thank you for keep talking about importance of chest to the bar pull-ups. There is not much good videos on youtube about this topic specifically and I found your channel very helpful. I had terribly rounded shoulders, limited range of motion and neglecting back muscles for the most of my life. The strength gap between normal pull-up to chest to the bar pull-up turned out to be way harder for me than from zero pull-ups to a normal (above the chin) pull-up. It's like different exercise. Now chest to the bar pull up is becoming my primary fitness goal. It is not easy, but I'm progressing with inverted rows and getting closer! I already feel how it is affecting my shoulders health, mobility and posture in a very positive way. I also noticed that the muscle activation to close these last inches from chest to the bar is quite different for supinated and pronated grips. With pronated grip it is way harder for me to complete this movement. Is it just a question of strength or it really requires some different technique and moving pattern? Thank you!
I would say it's both. More range of motion that deliver to more scapula retraction strength and different shoulder+elbow position that deliver to whole different moving pattern
Thanks for this Adam! I have been struggling for a long time with pull ups. Cannot get the height! Now I know why! At last I now understand about external rotation to get elbows facing forwards! I will be working on scapular strength too! 🙏💪
Finally I did it! I did 1 chest to bar. Damn. I can do 10 pull-ups and 15 chin-ups. But never before I was able to do chest to bar pull-up. It definitely need way more strength and explosiveness. I did not do inverted rows because I don't have them, but I practiced with resistance band this full range of motion about 2 weeks.
@@rahulpattnaik6384 scapula stays the same: depressed and retracted. Now, try hang from the bar only and turn both elbows to the front. You feel a greater contraction and combined with the depression. You can also feel the contraction just by squeezing your elbow to your side as if you’re holding something there. Hope that helps.
Lateral raise with a dumbell. I also like bands but prefer the DB. with rings: do face pulls and rear delt raises. When access to weights, do dumbell lateral raise.
Hey man I am unable to do scapula retraction at the top range of pull up what can I do to fix that?? as I am doing rows with proper form but still unable to retract scapula during pull ups
I get further higher up then before on the bar but I still cannot touch my chest to the bar. I am a couple of inches away from the bar. I am using a monkey grip when pulling myself up.
Is It correct to apply these pull up methods if I train for muscle up? I mean if I want to do explosive high pull ups to train for muscle up. (I can do around 5 muscle ups with little knee bending but now I focus to improve my tecnique and I want to learn clean muscle ups without using legs)
For the muscle up the basics are required but it’s a different pulling process (it’s more like the continuous one). Check out the high pull-up video + the muscle up technique video!

100%! Congrats!
Been struggling to get chest up and now I see why. Thank you!
I’m glad it helped!

My pleasure! 😊
amazing video, no bullshit, filled with information! Cheers, probably saved me an injury

I subbed to your channel when you had 20k, now you have 120k. Congrats man! Your videos are amazing
Thank you, I appreciate it! 😊
Thank sir for your workout 💪

Pure gold 🥇
Spot on explanation!
Thank you 🙏
Great video! Thank you!
Always To the point 💥💥, love from India❤🙌
Thank you!
That external rotation has saved my shoulders. Thank you
🙏🙏💪
How to do ext rotations properly? Do I need to push scapulas forward?

Thanks for the pull up tips
My pleasure!
thanks for video about pull-ups! It helps me a lot. in Korea 😊
🙏🙏
@Adam - could you please explain why gymnasts are not very tall. One would rarely find a gymnast of 5'10" or above.
Tall people are heavy with longer levers and more ROM
Well said Sir!!
Thank you
Can you make a tutorial video about handstand push up? I've been struggling to achieve that. Love your contents and your videos!
Here it is: th-cam.com/video/1oOEPr_EeHc/w-d-xo.html
Clear explanatory 🎉 thank you
My pleasure!
Thank you
🙏🙏
I do both , first i use engaged pull up untill failure and then continue with scapula activate pullup
Great!
Sir please make a video on calisthenics beginner to advanced guide and skills progression from basics to veteran

Great video!
What about simple yet effective exercise for side/lateral deltoids?
Lateral raise with a dumbell. I also like bands but prefer the DB. with rings: do face pulls and rear delt raises. When access to weights, do dumbell lateral raise.
Thanks!
You're so Very Strong and Fabulouss Dear Friend!!! Perfect and Wonderful Shape!!!

I feel the second one Fairly easy when I do Pull ups
Start at 1:50
Bro which one to do hollow body or hollow back.
About 2/3 of my maximum reps I can do chest to bar, the rest I can only do chin over bar.
Keet it up!
I am very interested in the books you have written...what are the names?
I’ll publish them in the future in English as well
Can you put all beginner exercises in a playlist??
It’s there already, the first one is called Prehab series, then Basic series (cards were placed in this video btw)
@@GymnasticsMethod thankyou, I'm bit dull sorry

Check out the other videos about this as well on the channel. You’ll get there!
i can hold myself on upper chest to bar hight, after this i get elbow pain if i dont create momentum. anyone got this too?
first one❤️✌️
🙏🙏 thank you
I can do 15 scapula pull ups
And invented rows like 8 to 10
And can do even a one perfect pull ups 🤨 any solution pls!!
You try using bands to help?
@@Gropmag215 I never use it !!!
@@samficher2376 You can give it a try and/or do negative pull-ups.
Just watch all the pull-up and inverted rows videos on the channel and you’ll see the whole picture! There’s probably a missing link.
I usually pause at the top for a second or two. Is it too straining with chest-to-bar pull up?
Nah, it's a good way to ensure you get a good back squeeze
It’s good! But you can do sometimes without the stop too
Would you also want to do this with weighted pull-ups? Especially when the reps are 3-4?
I do 21 pull ups on my chin but I can't even do 1 on my chest why ? 😢
Is It correct to apply these pull up methods if I train for muscle up?
