For those who wonder: I did 26 chest to bar while Gabo was explaining... just kidding, I didn’t count it 😄 Turned out a great video, brother! I enjoyed the whole process even it was a whole new situation for me. Thanks for having me! 🙏
It was great having you brother! I won’t mention the amount of isometrics I did 😂 totally worth it tho! And you did amazing for being in such a new situation and style of video! On to the next one! -Gabo
😂 how many can you do normally though? I can do at least 3 then rounding off of the shoulders occur on the next reps.. I think I really need a band for a healthy rep range for that movement.
Jó volt látni Ádámot egy ilyen videóban is. Az egyik legjobb magyar Street Workout könyv szerzője. It was good to see Ádám ín a video like that. He is the author of really good Street Workout book in Hungary.
I just started doing these methods a couple weeks ago, and wow is it a big difference, learning that humility and taking the small steps seriously achieves far greater results 🙏
Its is always good to check on tips to incorporate them on trainings. Often times we fall into poor habits of ego lifting and this videos can bring us back to what we should be doing in order to progress strongly. Many thanks!
Great video with very good advice. One important thing too is hand placement. People always told me to have a wide grip since I have long arms. The problem is that with a wide grip my range of motion was limited by my scapula touching each other. Switching to a narrower grip definitely made things better since my range of motion wasn't limited anymore.
Great tips! If anyone have still issues with the movement. You can try to do an exercise with a stick or on the pull up bar with a chair just change the angle of your arms and squeeze them on the top part. The feeling of pulls up(neck level) vs pulls up (chest level) will feel really different,do it a couple times and let the brain memorize it,it will come more naturally after a while. Especially the shoulder and triceps involvement feels totally different.
Informative, concise and instructive! Absolutely love your ability to break down movements I struggle with into such digestible videos! Thank you so much for this!
Saturno! I achieved chest to bar recently after ring rows, rows under my dip bars, and low rep explosive pull up practice. Trying to get my first muscle up- probably just need to get a band and do a few. Thanks for another solid video 💪
first video when it's best dissected for me the proper parts of the whole pullup and show the best partial exercises to master whole exercise, very good video men!
Excellently executed excellence. The layout of the video, instruction, recap, the coaching points. Random video comes across my feed and sometimes golden nuggets await. I'll be referring others back to this video. Thumbs up from me. All in a timely fashion keeping the video short and concise. Very well done!
Thank you! Perfect timing somehow haha I recently unlocked Ring muscle ups and am looking to add weight in the next 6 months. I noticed this chest ROM is somewhat lacking. will definitely try those out!
I can do chin ups chest to bar and hold for several seconds, but can't do a single chest to bar pull up. I think I am just not strong enough for the movement. With the chin up you get more biceps assistance, and even some pec engagement too. But with the pronated grip the assistance comes from forearm muscles which are much weaker - then your back has to do pretty much all the work. Will try to incorporate some of the exercises/progressions in this video, thanks.
Yo, I have been doing the basics of everything(calisthenics) since September when I got a pull-up bar, the detachable kind you can put on the door. I have been doing holds or hangs. Don't underestimate how much work these put on the body. Now I can hold a pull-up, rotate or swing, hang upside down (though not perfect). My arms are just stronger from hanging. This has make me more patient overall, and want to do everything very slowly.
@@Hadithoftheday247 I managed to do up to 30 pull-ups several times a day by Jan. Then I had an inflammation in the right elbow, limiting my pull-ups. I hang once a day when the pain in manageable. I will be back once the pain is gone. These exercises build the upper body though.
Depends on the reason your doing the exercise as well, if your after overall exercise effect then ya chest to bar, if your after more bodybuilding effect and just want to target lats then chin to bar is better because above that shoulders and biceps do brunt of the work
Can also mount the stretch band horizontally. So this way, with 1 band, you can adjust it up or down depending on how much support you need, and also it doesn't get in your way for the pull up :) great presentation, will do these myself also.
How i have been doing my pullups and chinups since i started my program a year ago. Started with a big band for assistance and now im to a much smaller band and about ready to do it without a band. 57 years old 3 sets of 10 in my circuit.
I found that tight pecs and generally neck - jaw stressed and tight muscles contribute to the inability of properly using back and arms strength, so I would add a massage routine alongside the strengthening exercises.
This is a comment I just wrote, thought you might find it interesting ;) In my opinion you are missing a reason. I think me struggle with chest to bar pull ups comes from a lack of mobility. Let me explain. When I depress my scapulas on retraction, I feel an intense stretch along my collarbone area. It takes quite some effort to full depress them. So this is an extra resistance on top of my bodyweight that I have to overcome in order for my chest to Tuch the Bar in a pull up. This also messes with the strength curve, because it makes the top position even more difficult. So I have a hard time getting a satisfying workout with pull-ups performed with a full range of motion. So maybe consider mobility to when struggling with this movement guys and gals :)
Thanks 🙏 I've learnt a distinction about pull-ups 😃 Is it helping for other moves, or is it just for the sake of a chest to bar pull-up ? (or chest to ring, actually^^) I would like a follow along-low body stretch video and a follow along-upper body stretch video😉
More range = more strength. It will help you overall strength and with that many other movements. Muscle up is greatly improved by doing pull ups to the chest :) you can check all our mobility routines in the channel. We have PLENTY for lower body and upper body. -Gabo
@@SaturnoMovement I'm wondering how is a chest to bar pull up helping the muscle up ? It seems that the muscle up uses a hollow body, and there's little scapula retraction compared to a neutral body or arched back pull up like you do here? I'm not trying to be a dick I'm genuinely curious about it.
In my opinion this is the best calisthenics, and generally fitness channel on TH-cam.Gabo' s devotion, positivity and knowlege not only about calisthenics, but also about mobility and flexibility is incredible.Every video is really informative.My weekly routines are completely based on your suggestions.Only thing l havent seen on your channel are cardio interval workouts, but probably l just missed it.
Thank you for your kind message brother. We strive to provide knowledge and quality content for you all to enjoy. It's been a long time since we create a video about cardio but check this video we created titled "How to Burn Body Fat | Calisthenics HIIT Workout W/Silvy Araujo" >>> th-cam.com/video/OPfaGpLGByg/w-d-xo.html
Seeing these amazing collabs, I have to think of Sondre Berg. If I had the Elder staff, I would create a collab with Gabo and Sondre! He is an absolute beast of handbalancing
I'm a woman in my 40s, just got a set of 10 bodyweight chin ups a week ago. It takes me 5x (at least) as long as everyone else to progress in calisthenics but I put the timelines completely out of my mind and just take it a day at a time. I'm having the time of my life. I'm excited to work on CTB pullups next.
I’m roughly 4 months in to my calisthenics journey. Greatly appreciate your channel! Question: are chest to bar LAT pull-downs effective for chest to bar pull ups and muscle up training?
I can do 10 pull ups and 12 to 15 straight bar dips but still can't do muscle ups and high pullups could you give me any advice? I can do 3 to 4 muscle ups with 60kg resistance band but need little support for transition
To be honest I dont remember trying to get chest to bar pull Up, It simply happened I dont remember When, Because of Seeing that many videos of Adam about It, encourage me to do them more And now I do a lot of reps more than 10 chest to bar in a row, never tried Max tho, I just do them for warm Up to do weighted pull ups. I also never have to train for my first pull Up already could do pull ups, I might be genetically good for pull ups, but to get one arm pull up I am struggling a lot, more than a year training It and still cant rep one
I am wondering what my problem is then. I can do chest to bar with: - chin-ups (even weighted ones) - neutral grip pull-up - close grip pull-up I can't do it only with normal pullups where the grip with is shoulder width or a bit more than shoulder width :)
Have you tried testing it out with a stick? You might just be missing some mobility to achieve the full range of motion. If you do all the tests shown in the beginning, you should have little to no problem getting the chest-to-bar pullup. - Gala
Out of shape guy here, and I'm working on the first technique, but my shoulders crack and pop while bringing the bar down to my chest which hinders my ability to do pull ups. Any ideas on what causes this and what I can do to remedy it? I really want to incorporate pull ups into my workouts. Thanks.
For those who wonder: I did 26 chest to bar while Gabo was explaining... just kidding, I didn’t count it 😄

I just started doing these methods a couple weeks ago, and wow is it a big difference, learning that humility and taking the small steps seriously achieves far greater results 🙏
Way to go brother!! Keep on going! -Gabo
I'm going to go back and learn to do it right as well, before trying to up my volume.
Less reps with good quality > more reps with poor quality
Its is always good to check on tips to incorporate them on trainings. Often times we fall into poor habits of ego lifting and this videos can bring us back to what we should be doing in order to progress strongly. Many thanks!
Totally agree. Been there and I always find myself going back to prehab and basics.
Wise comment!
Much respect to you GABO you make it look easy but YOU'RE MADE STRONG AND FLEXIBLE WHICH IS UNDERRATED WITHIN CALISTHENICS
Thanks man! 🙏🏽 -Gabo

Why I can’t do chest to bar pull-ups: my ceiling is in the way 😂
No, you're just not strong enough to break through the ceiling. Keep working out!
Awesome Adam and Gabo finally come together my 2 online trainers. I love this can you guys do more videos together.
That's awesome! I'm sure we'll collaborate again in the future 😉
@@SaturnoMovement I look forward to that bro. 😊
I put this on my workout Playlist but I hope one day I can take it off. Thank you for being concise with good info.
Do these tips until you’re able to touch the bar with your chest and you should be good 👍

Sounds like you have the strength & mobility necessary to accomplish this movement. Great job 👏

Q: do these chest to bar progression steps help increase the lat recruitment?
I am wondering what my problem is then.
I can do chest to bar with:
- chin-ups (even weighted ones)
- neutral grip pull-up
- close grip pull-up
I can't do it only with normal pullups where the grip with is shoulder width or a bit more than shoulder width :)
Have you tried testing it out with a stick? You might just be missing some mobility to achieve the full range of motion. If you do all the tests shown in the beginning, you should have little to no problem getting the chest-to-bar pullup. - Gala
