Man vs Pullups (MAN WINS)

- It doesn’t matter how many pullups you can do, whether it is 25 unbroken or you struggle to get even one, I have one tip that is going to make doing pull ups easy. With just one simple body hack, doing pull-ups will become a heck of a lot easier than they were before.
The first thing you want to do when trying to make pullups easier is to pay attention to how you set up. Too often, I see people in the gym getting ready to do their pull-ups and they get the set up wrong almost every single time. It doesn’t matter how strong they are, when they get this wrong, they are sacrificing the number of the pull ups they can do significantly.
The part of the setup that I see people in the gym get wrong all the time is that they simply just grab the bar and pull straight up. Now, this might not seem like anything to worry about, however, this could be shortchanging the number of reps you can do.
What is happening here? The shoulders are unpacked, the lats are not pre-set, and the beginning pull is initiated by the arms. This means that the lats are not taking on the brunt of the work to start the pullup. By not setting the lats and not packing the shoulders, you are requiring greater effort and energy in order to initiate the pull up. The extra requirement will lead to fatigue quicker than necessary and will leave you performing less pull-ups than you are actually capable of.
How do we fix it? Simple.
When you grip the bar, lean back slightly. This will automatically pack your shoulders and engage your lats. Presetting the lats will ensure that they are taking on the brunt of the work as compared to your arms if you didn’t. To do more pullups, you need to make sure the right muscles are performing their job at the right time. That means getting the lats set and using them to initiate the pull-up instead of the arms. Remember, your arms will fatigue faster than your lats, so let’s make sure that the lats are doing the work so you can get more unbroken pullups in a single set.
Remember, it’s not just what exercises you choose, but how you do them that matters the most. If you don’t pay attention to the nuances of the exercise, you might not be getting the full potential available from that specific exercise. The details matter when you are trying to build as much muscle as possible or you are trying to perform at the very best of your abilities.

My max right now is 16.
25 makes you a straight animal.
I just did 20 in a row
My max is 8 😢
@@tanmay_6363 🤦♂️ tips on pull up technique, haven't you watched the video???
Consider adding some weight (even just a little bit).
That has made non-weighted pull-ups feel a lot easier for me.
@@matthewkerswell1450
Nothing wrong with that. Just set a goal of one extra per week.
That's what I did. I worked up to 20 by adding 1 per week, doing them every other day for six days, and then a full two days off to rest. Then start the six day cycle again.
That's what works for me, every one is different.
I gotta be careful, the shoulders are 65 years old.
5 years ago when I started back up doing them, after about a 20 year layoff, I literally could only do one. It was humbling.
That's 25 strict pull ups! Mark Wahlberg should check this video.
Any Crossfitter should 😅
Absolute beast. I’ve noticed keeping uniform tension throughout the entire body helps me engage my back muscles much more
Jeff always teaching & inspiring💯
The next best thing to having Jeff personally train you!
I love that there's never a wasted second here. EVERY second counts.
Don't count the seconds.
Make the seconds count. ;)
Jeff's last rep = my first rep😔😔😔
Good. That gives you something to aim for. Goals. 🤘
@@harryv6752 now I can do 4-5 pull-ups 🙂🙂
Bro you did 25 clean, that's insane.
The next best thing to having Jeff personally train you....
I love that there's never a wasted second here. Each one counts for something.
Thank you so much!! I’ve never done a complete pull up from the hang but go to the gym daily. I’m going to try this today!!!
Did it work? I'm gonna give it a go too
Now that's a pull-up.
Best pull-up advice ever.
Impressive, Jeff. 👏
My max is 23. I wanna reach 30, and also achieve the one arm pull up… maybe one day
Dude you are a legend, thank you
I can’t do one yet but his video of how to increase your pull ups is going to be added to my next program
get yourself some bands so you can do them with a little assistance to get ya up to strength. You want to try and do at least 5 reps per set to help you gain optimally
half a year ago i also couldn't do a single one, now im up to 15 clean ones in a row it's all about consistency really
Thanks for the support guys. I appreciate the advice
Bro just did 25 clean pull ups! Thats elite
Thank you for this !!!!
You did 25, last time I did 18 but I could do more.
I think 20 probably is my max right now.
My new goal in pull ups will be 25 just like you. Great video by the way.
Awesome, it works perfectly.
Thnx.
Ludo Adamentium did 25 pull ups with 40kg added weight
I'm actually feeling better about my CLEANA 22 pull ups after seeing Jeff do 25
Best set of pullups I've ever seen insane strength
Those biceps r fucking freaky
💯
🔥
🤘
I'm gonna try this next time, right now I can only do 2 but I don't think I'm doing it right cause the initial phase takes all my energy.
Jeff licks his lips on the way down when he starts struggling from rep 21-25. Good luck unseeing it :).
👅
😂
He licks from right to left every time, gonna cause an imbalance 👀
I read hips and was terrified
Disgusting comment
Thank you,
Can you do a Video on Fixing a Twisted Pelvis?
Excellent form. Good thing you got 25, if you only got 24 I was going to “dislike” the video. But 👍👍👍👍
Nice one
What's the best diameter to use for the bar?
I used a clothes closet bar for a couple of years, but it cracked a couple of weeks ago.
It always seemed a bit too big for a full grip.
It depends on the size of your hands but the wider the grip, the more you'll also workout your forearms.
Is pull ups truly the ultimate experience
damn 25 clean pull ups
I used to strap a 20 k plate to me and do over 40 pull ups in my 20s those days have long gone
For real or 40 like Mark Walberg? Did you weigh like 130 lbs?
Athlean X is best. Always ❤
25 is insane!
So it’s like protracting the shoulder blades which I found was better but many trainers say pull your shoulder blades back and down
Jeff didn't say to protract, buddy
@@nomnomyourmom he didn’t say that but that’s what’s happening and you can clearly see his blades protracting…I tried this and it works great my lats were lit up.
@@BFaluup he said "pull yourself back, just a little bit", which basically means doing Scap pull (Scap retracted and depressed), so you turn vertical pull a bit into diagonal pull.
Scapula depression is another function of the lats, so you engage it first before even pull.
@@BFaluup if it were protraction, he would have said "push yourself back", instead of "pull yourself"
15 Pull ups max ..take it or leave it
A key factor in trying to increase your pull up game is to decrease your percent body fat.
Interesting, so doing it the improper way just creates unnecessary slack in the exercise?
Crushed it
Wish I had recorded it, I used to do 25 reps with 35lbs hanging from belt with near perfect form 4 years ago.
Can't do that now 😂🤣
Accurate af
I try to do something like where you are for 25 every day. Without it life is all wrong
Today is back day ;)
My max is -1
Why is shirt on Jeff?
I can do 23-25 "dirty" pullups (about 30 chinups) and maybe 16-18 clean ones like Jeff here. Which is not that impressive since I'm doing pullups for 10+ years now 😆
It's not clean
The impressive is that you were doing pull ups for 10+ years, great discipline right here
@@adolfotuxExactly
I agree. But it's not technically from a dead hang then is it??
More like Scap pull position
Oh shit, my mind fk me there for a sec, i though i was listening to ff9 music, lmao.
who is that random dude?
👏👏👏
25 fair play
Have my gym record for 46 pull-ups, pulling yourself away and squeezing your hands together keeps the tension
How did you get to that number if you don’t mind me asking?
@@omarvaladez007 It was revealed to him in a dream.
Don't you want to make the exercise harder?
I think I can do 12 or 13 perfect at 205
is there any difference between curled leg and straight leg during pull up?
Curl what? The hip or knee?
Check "Best Pullup Leg Position (GET MORE REPS!)"
I’m confused if full range is chin above bar or do I somehow need to get my chest to the bar? Thanks
You only need to get your chin over the bar. You can pull to the chest, but there's not much difference in benefit between the 2.
Theres a big difference. Think of pulling to the chin like a barbell bench press, you can only get so much development until you have to add more weight. Think of pulling to the chest and farther as a dumbbell bench press (people do less weight with dumbbells) you get so much more development in explosive strength (this is what you have to use more of to get past your chin) that less is more.
@@jrvazbakerboyAgreed! 💯
I'm 47 6'3" 235 and lift like you taught and got explosive strength, (dumbell chest of 100# 3x8. Lat pull cable of 180# ,BUT I can't do pull ups past 3x5 sets. My fingers hurt after that. Help
have you tried using straps
@@sickbailey21 no, but I do just the tip of my fingers and open hand grip. Maybe father time says no more of doing those grips anymore. I think the issue is that I have really wide shoulders and that makes is harder on my tendons doing pull ups.
@@commonsenseapproach101 why would you do pullups with just the tips of your fingers on the bar? Wrap your fingers around the bar so that your palm is also touching the bar and don't do an open hand grip
@@3COI in my younger years it helped develop very strong hand strength. My closed grip sometimes hurts my wrist as well.
If I can do 26 does that mean I'm stronger than jeff ?
Are you 185+lbs like him?
Ok i am gonna beat you in a year, starting tomorrow
My max 8 😀
Too fat now even with this technique. I have to lose another 10 to 20 pounds before i see another pull up 😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Iam trying to 25 but I got 17 pullups my age 18
And one hand 5 pullups thank you for my favourite
Body bilder❤😊😘
Heck yeah!!
I'm 19 and I will also try to get far. We are in good years do not forget that!
Dude I used to listen to u.. I was faithful to what u said. Now I don’t I really can’t stand u anymore I seen a video of yours then couple weeks later seen another video and u said not to do this or that but u was telling me to do it. I don’t get I man. Good luck stay real
That's why your mother works in the adult industry since you don't listen enough
My max is 17
Max is 20
Pull up or chin up?
These are pull-ups since they're overhanded. Chin-ups are done underhanded.
Bad eccentric control. Cannot unsee it.
You don't have to seek eccentric damage every time 🤦especially when the weight is light
Just do chin-ups. Better bicep activation, range of motion for the lats, and zero chance of getting tennis elbow.
I can't manage a single pull up due to intense tennis elbow pain.
@@Eyes_Open Same for me a few years back. I stopped doing pull-ups, did chin-ups only, and easily re-habbed myself in a couple weeks doing high volume, but low intensity workouts (25 sets of 6 reps. Not my usual sets of 13 reps).
Paired up with one minute rides on an exercise bike to increase blood flow and healing.
Chin-ups, bike, chin-ups, bike, etc etc etc
Lewandoski when he was at Bayern:
Nice pullups jeff. Wondering if you could make a video explaining why you used illegitimate weights (show weights) in some of your past videos. Thanks!
My guess would be simply that he's not actually working out so no point wasting energy. At the end of the day, if he's still giving good advice then it doesn't really matter.
I'm pretty sure he addressed that rumor a while ago, but it's been a while so I don't remember which video it was
No Jeff only 19 perfect others don't count
You sound like you haven't grinded through failure before
@@nomnomyourmom I don't do failure I do perfection
@@elizander3 that's easy, only the last few reps are hard
@@nomnomyourmom right but those should not be accounted for
@@elizander3 there's no rule saying they're shouldn't be
And they look normal to me, what's even imperfect about them?
Bullshit
No need to share your diet here
@@nomnomyourmom You were wrong my friend, the diet belongs to your mother.
Now if you want to talk about the exercise, then instead of offending me, I said: bullshit for a simple thing. because I used this technique and it didn't increase any repetitions. although I normally do it with a load of 15kg.@@nomnomyourmom
@@phildias9699 keep saying that to mirror, kid
You didn't hesitate to offend but don't wanna be offended lmao hypocrisy, that's why your mother works in the adult industry.
@@nomnomyourmom Do you have mental problems? I am telling the truth. I tested the technique and you? again he only comes with insults and he didn't say whether he tried it or tried to do it and whether it worked or not. ahhhh. fuck you, buddy.
Can't do pullups anymore. Too many shoulder/forearm injuries as a result of hammering the weights for 30+ years. My own fault. You live you learn. Gotta use bands and what not now.
Good
Sure
But you don't extend your arm and shoulders in lower position
Which would be correct and harder
"correct" is silly here, and "harder" is not always "better" - train for strength with slower negatives, and chose technique for stability (of shoulder here) and avoiding injury.
His arms are extended at the bottom. You don't need to go into a passive hang each rep
@perotal well actually you do
By that logic you can bench without touching chest
But explain me why you don't have
