I for one really appreciate these particular videos. I have seen first hand how these cues can help beginners double the amount of reps they can do almost instantly, it made coaching the pull up so much easier. Thanks Brian.
Please Brian, pleas make a video on how to do push-ups, technique, cues, progression for beginners who can´t do one push-up etc. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! Love your stuff! You are the sickest und badest on TH-cam! Keep going, have a great day. God bless you and your family. Best regards from Germany
I work in a warehouse and during down time, I'll use the forks of the forklift or the picker for some pull-ups. The slickness (?) of the forks add some added grip training too.
@@burner1303 That's cool. You'd be doing ne a favor lol. We don't get benefits in our hot ass warehouse nor do they keep up on routine maintenance for the picker and forklifts. We also have mold in a few places since the place floods a lot.
Hey Brian, just wanna say thank you for having flag of my country (Taiwan, ROC 🇹🇼) in your gym! I know some people from China would be easily offended simply for this (well, but they don't have access to TH-cam anyway 😅) Anyway, thanks for sticking to freedom and greetings from Taiwan!

You have no idea how much you've helped me. And I'm not only talking about this video. You're an amazing guy and I'm 100% sure you've had a huge impact in making a lot of peoples lives better.
Definitely very helpful advice, thanks, your info has also helped me in my other lifts Hope the recovery is going well, your voice is definitely sounding better 💪🏻
This is incredible! I finished getting ready for the day, its 5am MST 7am EST and there are already 2300+ views on this video released at 3:30am. Never forget the amazing impact you have on the world Brian. Positive enough that people from all over the world will watch your videos at all hours of the night.
Good video. What I like to have people do is 2 minutes of dead hangs on the pullups bar. If this has to be done in 20 seconds sets, that's fine. Just get the 2 minutes in. I recommend this 3 times a week. Or every other day. Try to add 5-10 seconds to your dead hangs until you can do them for a minute set. Once you get the minute in add weight to your dead hangs and start over again. This increases your grip strength also.
Great video Brian, Portugal loves all countries so you won't get trouble because of our flag! I treat Pull ups as one of the big movements, what would you say could be pull up assistance exercises?
Those Do's and Don't videos are really awesome Brian ! I was actually watching some of your old videos when this one popped up ! Thank you for the always super informative content. I think you're the one person that teached me the most about training. Keep em coming and take care ! You look (and sound !) like you're getting a lot better !
Right off the bat, am the second type, I can do everything but the pull up, it's extremely shameful attempting one after crushing a bench set and flailing mid way through
Aren’t genetics a bitch? It’s crazy how similar the human body is in ways that we are averagely strong for everyone and then the complete opposite for some people.. just keep going, and don’t give up!
Best Lat activation exercise I've ever heard: Sit on a chair in front of a table. Put your elbows on the table. Press your elbows into the table. That's that. (May or may not work for you!)
It's crazy how much I've learned from you Brian! So many of your tips from other videos have helped me so much in progressing and getting stronger with killer form!
Excited for the new videos! Pullups have always been pretty good for me, but I definitely credit that to the "grease the groove" over the years of just walking past the bar and hitting a few reps every time.
Good stuff. I came across your channel a few days a go and have watched a bunch of your videos. Somehow with countless other good channels in this vein, you've managed, in my view, to add something new/different. Subscribed.
Nice reminder of all the pull up tips. I'm still using bands for assisted pull ups while I work on losing a lot of extra padding in the abdominal area. Love the new word Dramastically, it sums up a lot of lifes situations.
Quality content as always. Pull ups are a great addition to my training whether in giant sets, or as some part of brutal conditioning (thanks for introducing me to burpee pull ups!)
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial mate, you come across so good natured generally that it 'buys' you the ability to say the occasional off-colour joke. Also thank you for the tips: I'm worse at pull-ups than I want to be and anticipate they'll help
Been working these in a lot the last two weeks and was so mad I couldn't get more than 5 with 25lb's on my waste. I was kinda pissed yesterday and then decided fk it lets see what I can do for one rep. Ended up working all the way to 95 lb's for a single and it was a total game changer for morale. Point being, don't get discouraged this has been a fun process and I felt like a damn beast. Here is to everyone doing weighted pullups and getting to the 2-3 plate club.
I am surprised there was no commentary about a "kipping pull up" or a "reverse grip pull up." Another solid video. I'm very curious to know which countries had issues with your flags. Keep up the great content Brian!
The problem I have with working back is I start to develop some kind of RSI in my elbows if I do things like pull-ups regularly. Tennis or golf elbow, or both. I started to get a really weird burning sensation in the joint at one point. And it takes forever to heal or go away, so I work my back and arms fairly lightly and irregularly for fear of those chronic strain injuries coming back.
I've heard him talk a lot about how triceps are important for strength, so I'd assume that's one reason. If you want a big press or bench you need big triceps
Great tips Brian ,as usual. My current pull-up goal is a one-arm pull-up, I previously used weighted pull-ups to achieve it but plateaued at 75lbs (BW 200lbs). I recently started doing one-arm assisted pull-ups using the assisted pull-up machine (available at most commercial gyms) to try and break through that plateau. Are there any tips to getting that goal? Thanks
I "respectfully" disagree with you on the assisted pullup machine. I've went from having to counter weight with the full 155lb to only 80lbs in about 2 months. 💯🤘💪
That’s what my channel is all about brother. You can hear other people pontificate and try to sound smart on other channels. I just give you straight information
Hey Brian, I saw your other pull up progression video where suggest doing ramping sets of 5 and 3 to increase your weighted pull up. Would you say that this is superior to doing sets across like 3x5 with a fixed weight? PS love your content, keep it up my guy.
Yeah, chin ups are a type of pull up. Your grip is just reversed and so it activates different muscles differently, but you're still using the same primary muscles
I row 100kg for 4-6 Reps with good to decent form, at 86kg (189lbs) Bodyweigtht, 182cm (5'11.6") but i can maybe do 1-3 Pull Ups on a good day, but on a bad day i cant even do a single one.

As great as all the information in this video is, my biggest takeaway is that "dramastically" should absolutely be a word.
Mayhaps.
It totally needs to be a shirt 😂😂
But is it something Dramatic happening Drastically? or something Drastic happenig in a Dramatic way!? :-/
Dramastically is a perfectly cromulent word
So now I kinda wanna see the do's and dont's of salsa dancing...
Just don't do it
DO NOT do it without tortilla chips. DO, it always with tortilla chips, use your hips, and pretty women.
@@bmstylee same
Its weird that he has such a goofy sense of humor for a man that could crush you with his bare hands! But much love Brian, and Uncle Nic
Had an extra 15ish minutes before work and this video drops... Very nice
Now we need a pull-out video 🤔
I for one really appreciate these particular videos. I have seen first hand how these cues can help beginners double the amount of reps they can do almost instantly, it made coaching the pull up so much easier. Thanks Brian.

Grease the groove with knee pushups
You are one wholesome dude, I'm learning that from you in addition to your training tips! Thanks!
I work in a warehouse and during down time, I'll use the forks of the forklift or the picker for some pull-ups. The slickness (?) of the forks add some added grip training too.
Same here. You can use them for dips as well.
I am a truck driver and I will put a load bar on 2 stacks of pallets and knock them out.

lat pulldown/ inverted row?
Yo he'll get demonetized in Angola
@@quadrram3945 lots and lots of inverted rows mane
Weighted pull ups, rubber band pullups, aweighted deadhangs, hanging scapula retraction (then later with weight) annnnnd face pulls
@@CooperCarr face pulls? Somewhere, jeff cavaliere has a raging hard-on now.

You've done quite a few tutorials on pullups and this one is right up there. Great video. Thank you Brian!
Hi dude, you are cool. Thanks for the tips.
Right off the bat, am the second type, I can do everything but the pull up, it's extremely shameful attempting one after crushing a bench set and flailing mid way through
I'm the exact opposite my bench is weak as hell stuck at 225 for 5 at my best but I can rep 50lbs weighted pull ups at 195lbs body weight no problem
Aren’t genetics a bitch? It’s crazy how similar the human body is in ways that we are averagely strong for everyone and then the complete opposite for some people.. just keep going, and don’t give up!
@@phillipmcloven1093 even worse for me. Can barely bench 225 for 3, but I can do a 90 pound chin up
Omg Brian I can’t believe you still have that same cap after all of these years!!
Thanks again Brian! Your videos had made a Jurassic difference! Cheers!
Negatives, weighted pull-ups, and banded pull ups have helped me the most.
Did the scapula retraction workout and my shoulders were fried for a week, had really bad pain when I never had any problems with my shoulders before
I think this is something my climbing experience from when i was a kid comes in handy... despite being some years back. Great video.
4:40 I use this Ring Finger thing in my bench press it gives me more stability and power.
Best Lat activation exercise I've ever heard: Sit on a chair in front of a table. Put your elbows on the table. Press your elbows into the table. That's that. (May or may not work for you!)
Youre basically doing the same movement pattern as a chinup.
Great video Brian. As alwaya great information and really helpful. Thank you.
Dramastically, I dig it. I once combined 'severe' and 'serious' into their twisted love child 'severious'.

Been with you from day1, no issues with flags here..... Aussie Aussie Aussie 🇦🇺
Awesome tips here, Brian! I'm here for a rewatch a couple years later. God, you put out so much good knowledge.
It's crazy how much I've learned from you Brian! So many of your tips from other videos have helped me so much in progressing and getting stronger with killer form!

Might i suggest a "back" growth comparison with Juji? :P Love both of your guys videos and explanations on building strength.

naturally weighted pullups from day one lmao keep it up man
Thanks Brian, really appreciate all the great videos you do and provide to us for free!
Also looking healthier in every video man! hope that's the good news
The England and the UK loves you brother 🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧
Just here cause of salsa moves , thank you, from now i can do salsa, also pull ups.
The ring finger technique is really the best. I use it for any back exercise and it always helps engage the Lats
Squeezing the bar adds leverage. Great video
Thanks, Coach!!!👍🏻😃💪🏻
The England and the UK loves you brother
Thanks for another great vídeo, Brian! I cant wait for the "too many videos" and for the pretty big news! Cheers!

I actually laughed loud enough that I had to pause the video and tell my wife the joke. Definitely caught me off guard.
Thanks coach! Much appreciated!

Awesome video Brian i think this is the only body weight exercise that i have issues thx for the tips
"Too Many Videos"...........never man. Great content never gets old man.
It took me way too long to learn #4 and since I have it has made all of the difference in my pull ups
Great video Brian!
L-Sit Pullups are my favorite. Works the abs, nice and stable, keeps the body vertical and in some gyms it's my only option as a tall guy.

Because a kipped one doesn't qualify as a pull up ;)
Great video!
Great video
Anyone else noticed how his shirt went from super clean in the beginning of the video to all-out sweaty by the end lol
Stefi Cohen fixed my deadlift, let's see if Brian can fix my pull-up.😀
Stefi Cohen is a fake natty
Sosua Pimp i dont think she claims natty at all, but regardless she trains like an animal and deserves every record!
Jonathan Phlek animals don't train
How about a do's and don'ts video on inventing your own words? That would dramastically up your subscribers. You rock Brian!!
the dead grandma joke was 😂 hilarious!
This video dramastically motivated me to do some pull ups!
5:04 thank you so much!
Are all these points applicable to chin-ups as well or only some of them, example the leaning back?
I like seeing all the Canadian flags in the background.
Love your videos man!! Thanks!
Dramasticlly - fuckin' hilarious!!
Squeezing the bar is an awesome tip! What do you think about thumb over pull ups?
You know someone is good at pull ups if he or she says add them to your cooldown :D
