Video Details

The false grip position can elevate your pull-up game and enhance your overall gymnastic skills. This advanced grip technique not only prepares you for challenging moves like muscle ups and climb-ups but also helps with versatility on the gymnastics rings. Since many of us struggle with grip fatigue and transition between movements, understanding the mechanics behind the false grip is essential for building the strength and technique needed for more complex exercises.

To get started, approach the bar and instead of a traditional grip, extend your hands so that your fingers and wrists create a welcoming overhang over the bar. Your fingers should bend backward as you position yourself. In this grip, your wrists take on the burden of your body weight—think of it as if you're climbing over a flat surface, with your hands supporting your weight at the pivot point of your wrists, instead of only your fingers. When performing pull-ups in the false grip, maintain a dead hang and avoid bouncing or kipping; control is key to mastering this grip. As you pull up, remember to keep your wrists engaged, as this will not only create a stronger pull but also prepare your body for those muscle up transitions later on.

Mastering the false grip can be challenging at first, and it's normal for the position to feel a little uncomfortable as you train your body to adapt. You may experience some soreness since the muscles aren't used to this wrist positioning. Nevertheless, it’s important to differentiate between good discomfort from exertion and potential injury. Ultimately, incorporating the false grip into your training will bolster your pull-up ability and lay the groundwork for more advanced gymnastic maneuvers. As you develop your skill in this grip, you’ll find it improves functionality in various movements, taking your training to new heights.

  • To engage the false grip effectively, focus on positioning the wrists as the primary support rather than relying solely on your fingers.
  • Control your movements to avoid unnecessary bouncing; aim for a steady, measured pace for each repetition.
  • Embrace the initial discomfort as part of the learning process, and stay mindful of your form to avoid any injuries.

this episode is the advanced option
2.55
number two and we're going to be looking
4.98
at a very slight difference with the
7.35
mechanics today this is going to be the
10.26
false grip position so the idea with
14.16
this episode is we're going to be
15.48
looking at what we call the false grip
17.55
now the idea with the false grip is
19.949
we're trying to replicate a muscle up
23.369
position or a climb up position and also
27.09
the way that you use gymnastics rings as
29.82
well with the false grip position we are
33.21
going to change our grip on the bar
36.12
where we would normally be grabbing the
39.03
bar like this actually what we're going
41.85
to do now is go past the bar and we're
45.719
now going to be in this position so the
49.59
reason this is called a false grip is
51.51
because actually so your fingers are
53.699
going to come back you're not actually
56.12
gripping the bar it kind of looks like
58.71
rah but this is false you're not
61.77
gripping the bar you're going past the
63.96
bar so the key is that you are on the
67.979
wrist and this is going to take the
71.25
entire load of the body weight or the
74.159
pull up that you're doing so the reason
76.29
for this is that if we were climbing up
79.32
onto a wall and the wall was flat on the
82.29
top we would actually be in this
85.02
position you would actually be putting
87.9
your entire hand over the top of the
90.45
wall trying to climb up on the wall with
93.869
this position or this position
96.11
essentially there would be very very
99.18
hard because by the time your forearm is
101.88
flat and straight you would have to
104.28
change your hand position now we're
106.829
going to look at climb up some muscle
108.36
ups in a different series but for today
110.939
we're going to be looking at making the
112.95
pull-ups slightly harder by practicing
115.89
this position or this position you're
119.43
gonna see that I've rigged the GoPro up
121.56
here so you're gonna get a much better
123.39
view of where my hands are going to be
125.81
so both hands are going to be over the
129.39
top
129.69
and I'm going to be bringing my fingers
131.61
back so I'm not
132.61
this position I'm going to be in this
136.09
position okay so again from here dead
140.32
hang position pull up and back down
148.78
with the fingers pulling back the idea
152.08
is that they're gonna stop you from
153.76
slipping downwards and back into this
156.52
position the fingertips are pushing back
158.95
into the bar and they can stop that
161.86
slide why do this with the muscle up the
165.91
muscle up can actually be done a couple
168.67
of different ways but one of those ways
171.01
is with a false grip position so when
174.4
you're doing the muscle up you can
176.29
actually start in this position and
179.02
you're going to pull up and climb up
181.84
like that the second Pro for this is
185.28
that if you're practicing climb ups you
188.59
are also practicing the position that
190.6
you would be climbing up on which would
193.24
be a flat open hands like this so
195.58
imagine that the bar is actually the top
197.95
of a wall your hand would be flat on top
200.38
of that wall in this position again the
203.59
pivot point would be at your wrist so
207.49
your wrist would be where the pivot
209.23
point is not on the edge of your fingers
212.65
and where your knuckles are you want
214.39
that wrist to be the pivot point and
216.43
that is the bit that you are going to
218.95
move up and down on so this different
221.709
mechanic of just changing the position
224.8
of how you're gripping the bar means
227.44
that you're going to start becoming a
228.94
lot more functional with that pull-up
231.19
you're going to be able to start
232.81
thinking about transitioning into those
235.03
other movements and it means that you're
237.549
going to be able to take your body
239.17
weight on that wrist portion and you're
242.11
going to find that a lot of the weight
243.73
is going to be applied to the bottom of
246.1
the thumb and the wrist I also mentioned
249.61
rings so with the gymnastics ring the
253.87
way that you want to do muscle ups on
256.39
rings and other different types of
258.4
movement you would also be holding this
261.04
in what we call a false grip so with
263.65
this the idea would be a shell turn it
266.29
this way is the the edge of your wrist
270.13
so this section here the the crease of
273.4
your wrist is where the hand would hold
277.99
so you can see that it is like this
279.789
false grip position as well I'm not
281.77
actually
282.33
holding the bar I mean a false grip on
284.729
my wrist
285.81
here and this is how you do the pull-up
289.02
on the Rings as well so you would be in
292.199
this position and you would pull up and
294.659
then if you wanted to move into the
297.36
muscle up what happens is the ring turns
300.24
out and you can push and then you come
303.389
back into that false grip position so
307.379
one of the bad issues with this is that
310.02
this slightly different mechanic is
312.289
gonna feel a little bit more painful
314.9
because your body is not going to be
317.94
used to using this wrist as a pivot
321.06
point and as a position to take a load
323.729
so your body weight it's gonna start by
327.419
being very very painful at the beginning
329.55
now we want to try to get used to this
332.28
as long as you've got to be able to make
335.219
sure that you're not causing damage to
337.62
yourself and that the pain is not
339.99
because you are putting yourself in the
342
wrong position you're actually
343.529
physically hurting yourself you want to
345.75
feel the kind of pain that you get from
349.229
a lot of exercise or the type of pain
352.349
where you know that it's not actually
354.99
damaging you it is just something you're
356.849
not used to doing so on top of it being
359.819
slightly more unpleasant being in this
362.069
position there is actually a second part
365.039
to this that actually makes this a
367.11
little bit more difficult so when your
370.77
hands are in this position what will
373.65
happen is because your hands and fingers
377.039
are pulled back your forearm is
380.21
automatically turned on and it is
383.069
automatically tense and you're going to
385.229
find that you you're not going to be
387.69
able to hang very easily in the bottom
391.469
dead hang position in this position and
394.229
you're going to find that actually
396.599
holding the bottom position is going to
400.65
be very tough hold yourself on and dead
404.19
hang on the wrists lastly because of
408
that position where the false grip is
410.55
going to cause the forearms to keep
413.25
switched on
414.909
it means that when you're at that bottom
417.119
near-dead Hank position everything is
420.099
still switched on and it means it's
421.899
going to be easier for you to Kip and
424.479
bounce back up into the next repetition
427.119
and you really don't want to do that you
429.879
don't want to be bouncing on to those
431.979
ligaments and bouncing on those muscles
433.99
you want to control it down and control
436.749
it back up without having to bounce up
438.969
and down try and get away from that even
442.24
though it's going to be easier for you
444.399
to do because you're not going to be in
446.589
that relaxed state try to keep it under
450.039
control and try to keep it so you're at
453.189
a very steady pace so hopefully you've
456.309
got something out of this advanced
457.689
version this is as I've said a very
460.839
slight small mechanical change but it
463.929
will make things a lot lot harder with
465.999
the pull-up however it will mean that
468.55
things are going to become a lot more
470.199
functional later on and it's going to
472.029
translate over to those other movements
474.459
within parkour so you really want to try
477.069
to start getting used to doing false
478.809
grip on the bar and false grip to try
481.779
and climb up onto things
490.71
you

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
this episode is the advanced option

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,000
number two and we're going to be looking

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,000
at a very slight difference with the

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
mechanics today this is going to be the

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
false grip position so the idea with

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000
this episode is we're going to be

7
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,000
looking at what we call the false grip

8
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000
now the idea with the false grip is

9
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:26,000
we're trying to replicate a muscle up

10
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,000
position or a climb up position and also

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:33,000
the way that you use gymnastics rings as

12
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,000
well with the false grip position we are

13
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
going to change our grip on the bar

14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000
where we would normally be grabbing the

15
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:45,000
bar like this actually what we're going

16
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:48,000
to do now is go past the bar and we're

17
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,000
now going to be in this position so the

18
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000
reason this is called a false grip is

19
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
because actually so your fingers are

20
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,000
going to come back you're not actually

21
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,000
gripping the bar it kind of looks like

22
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,000
rah but this is false you're not

23
00:00:61,000 --> 00:01:07,000
gripping the bar you're going past the

24
00:00:63,000 --> 00:01:10,000
bar so the key is that you are on the

25
00:00:67,000 --> 00:01:13,000
wrist and this is going to take the

26
00:00:71,000 --> 00:01:16,000
entire load of the body weight or the

27
00:00:74,000 --> 00:01:19,000
pull up that you're doing so the reason

28
00:00:76,000 --> 00:01:22,000
for this is that if we were climbing up

29
00:00:79,000 --> 00:01:24,000
onto a wall and the wall was flat on the

30
00:00:82,000 --> 00:01:27,000
top we would actually be in this

31
00:00:85,000 --> 00:01:30,000
position you would actually be putting

32
00:00:87,000 --> 00:01:32,000
your entire hand over the top of the

33
00:00:90,000 --> 00:01:35,000
wall trying to climb up on the wall with

34
00:00:93,000 --> 00:01:38,000
this position or this position

35
00:00:96,000 --> 00:01:41,000
essentially there would be very very

36
00:00:99,000 --> 00:01:44,000
hard because by the time your forearm is

37
00:00:101,000 --> 00:01:45,000
flat and straight you would have to

38
00:00:104,000 --> 00:01:48,000
change your hand position now we're

39
00:00:106,000 --> 00:01:50,000
going to look at climb up some muscle

40
00:00:108,000 --> 00:01:52,000
ups in a different series but for today

41
00:00:110,000 --> 00:01:54,000
we're going to be looking at making the

42
00:00:112,000 --> 00:01:58,000
pull-ups slightly harder by practicing

43
00:00:115,000 --> 00:01:60,000
this position or this position you're

44
00:00:119,000 --> 00:01:62,000
gonna see that I've rigged the GoPro up

45
00:00:121,000 --> 00:01:65,000
here so you're gonna get a much better

46
00:00:123,000 --> 00:01:69,000
view of where my hands are going to be

47
00:00:125,000 --> 00:01:68,000
so both hands are going to be over the

48
00:00:129,000 --> 00:01:71,000
top

49
00:00:129,000 --> 00:01:71,000
and I'm going to be bringing my fingers

50
00:00:131,000 --> 00:01:75,000
back so I'm not

51
00:00:132,000 --> 00:01:79,000
this position I'm going to be in this

52
00:00:136,000 --> 00:01:87,000
position okay so again from here dead

53
00:00:140,000 --> 00:01:87,000
hang position pull up and back down

54
00:00:148,000 --> 00:01:92,000
with the fingers pulling back the idea

55
00:00:152,000 --> 00:01:96,000
is that they're gonna stop you from

56
00:00:153,000 --> 00:01:98,000
slipping downwards and back into this

57
00:00:156,000 --> 00:01:101,000
position the fingertips are pushing back

58
00:00:158,000 --> 00:01:104,000
into the bar and they can stop that

59
00:00:161,000 --> 00:01:107,000
slide why do this with the muscle up the

60
00:00:165,000 --> 00:01:110,000
muscle up can actually be done a couple

61
00:00:168,000 --> 00:01:113,000
of different ways but one of those ways

62
00:00:171,000 --> 00:01:116,000
is with a false grip position so when

63
00:00:174,000 --> 00:01:118,000
you're doing the muscle up you can

64
00:00:176,000 --> 00:01:121,000
actually start in this position and

65
00:00:179,000 --> 00:01:125,000
you're going to pull up and climb up

66
00:00:181,000 --> 00:01:127,000
like that the second Pro for this is

67
00:00:185,000 --> 00:01:130,000
that if you're practicing climb ups you

68
00:00:188,000 --> 00:01:132,000
are also practicing the position that

69
00:00:190,000 --> 00:01:134,000
you would be climbing up on which would

70
00:00:193,000 --> 00:01:137,000
be a flat open hands like this so

71
00:00:195,000 --> 00:01:139,000
imagine that the bar is actually the top

72
00:00:197,000 --> 00:01:142,000
of a wall your hand would be flat on top

73
00:00:200,000 --> 00:01:147,000
of that wall in this position again the

74
00:00:203,000 --> 00:01:148,000
pivot point would be at your wrist so

75
00:00:207,000 --> 00:01:152,000
your wrist would be where the pivot

76
00:00:209,000 --> 00:01:154,000
point is not on the edge of your fingers

77
00:00:212,000 --> 00:01:155,000
and where your knuckles are you want

78
00:00:214,000 --> 00:01:158,000
that wrist to be the pivot point and

79
00:00:216,000 --> 00:01:161,000
that is the bit that you are going to

80
00:00:218,000 --> 00:01:163,000
move up and down on so this different

81
00:00:221,000 --> 00:01:166,000
mechanic of just changing the position

82
00:00:224,000 --> 00:01:168,000
of how you're gripping the bar means

83
00:00:227,000 --> 00:01:170,000
that you're going to start becoming a

84
00:00:228,000 --> 00:01:171,000
lot more functional with that pull-up

85
00:00:231,000 --> 00:01:174,000
you're going to be able to start

86
00:00:232,000 --> 00:01:176,000
thinking about transitioning into those

87
00:00:235,000 --> 00:01:179,000
other movements and it means that you're

88
00:00:237,000 --> 00:01:181,000
going to be able to take your body

89
00:00:239,000 --> 00:01:183,000
weight on that wrist portion and you're

90
00:00:242,000 --> 00:01:185,000
going to find that a lot of the weight

91
00:00:243,000 --> 00:01:188,000
is going to be applied to the bottom of

92
00:00:246,000 --> 00:01:193,000
the thumb and the wrist I also mentioned

93
00:00:249,000 --> 00:01:195,000
rings so with the gymnastics ring the

94
00:00:253,000 --> 00:01:197,000
way that you want to do muscle ups on

95
00:00:256,000 --> 00:01:200,000
rings and other different types of

96
00:00:258,000 --> 00:01:203,000
movement you would also be holding this

97
00:00:261,000 --> 00:01:206,000
in what we call a false grip so with

98
00:00:263,000 --> 00:01:209,000
this the idea would be a shell turn it

99
00:00:266,000 --> 00:01:213,000
this way is the the edge of your wrist

100
00:00:270,000 --> 00:01:217,000
so this section here the the crease of

101
00:00:273,000 --> 00:01:219,000
your wrist is where the hand would hold

102
00:00:277,000 --> 00:01:220,000
so you can see that it is like this

103
00:00:279,000 --> 00:01:221,000
false grip position as well I'm not

104
00:00:281,000 --> 00:01:223,000
actually

105
00:00:282,000 --> 00:01:225,000
holding the bar I mean a false grip on

106
00:00:284,000 --> 00:01:228,000
my wrist

107
00:00:285,000 --> 00:01:231,000
here and this is how you do the pull-up

108
00:00:289,000 --> 00:01:234,000
on the Rings as well so you would be in

109
00:00:292,000 --> 00:01:237,000
this position and you would pull up and

110
00:00:294,000 --> 00:01:239,000
then if you wanted to move into the

111
00:00:297,000 --> 00:01:243,000
muscle up what happens is the ring turns

112
00:00:300,000 --> 00:01:247,000
out and you can push and then you come

113
00:00:303,000 --> 00:01:249,000
back into that false grip position so

114
00:00:307,000 --> 00:01:251,000
one of the bad issues with this is that

115
00:00:310,000 --> 00:01:254,000
this slightly different mechanic is

116
00:00:312,000 --> 00:01:257,000
gonna feel a little bit more painful

117
00:00:314,000 --> 00:01:260,000
because your body is not going to be

118
00:00:317,000 --> 00:01:262,000
used to using this wrist as a pivot

119
00:00:321,000 --> 00:01:267,000
point and as a position to take a load

120
00:00:323,000 --> 00:01:268,000
so your body weight it's gonna start by

121
00:00:327,000 --> 00:01:271,000
being very very painful at the beginning

122
00:00:329,000 --> 00:01:274,000
now we want to try to get used to this

123
00:00:332,000 --> 00:01:277,000
as long as you've got to be able to make

124
00:00:335,000 --> 00:01:279,000
sure that you're not causing damage to

125
00:00:337,000 --> 00:01:281,000
yourself and that the pain is not

126
00:00:339,000 --> 00:01:282,000
because you are putting yourself in the

127
00:00:342,000 --> 00:01:285,000
wrong position you're actually

128
00:00:343,000 --> 00:01:288,000
physically hurting yourself you want to

129
00:00:345,000 --> 00:01:291,000
feel the kind of pain that you get from

130
00:00:349,000 --> 00:01:294,000
a lot of exercise or the type of pain

131
00:00:352,000 --> 00:01:296,000
where you know that it's not actually

132
00:00:354,000 --> 00:01:298,000
damaging you it is just something you're

133
00:00:356,000 --> 00:01:301,000
not used to doing so on top of it being

134
00:00:359,000 --> 00:01:304,000
slightly more unpleasant being in this

135
00:00:362,000 --> 00:01:307,000
position there is actually a second part

136
00:00:365,000 --> 00:01:310,000
to this that actually makes this a

137
00:00:367,000 --> 00:01:313,000
little bit more difficult so when your

138
00:00:370,000 --> 00:01:316,000
hands are in this position what will

139
00:00:373,000 --> 00:01:319,000
happen is because your hands and fingers

140
00:00:377,000 --> 00:01:323,000
are pulled back your forearm is

141
00:00:380,000 --> 00:01:325,000
automatically turned on and it is

142
00:00:383,000 --> 00:01:327,000
automatically tense and you're going to

143
00:00:385,000 --> 00:01:331,000
find that you you're not going to be

144
00:00:387,000 --> 00:01:333,000
able to hang very easily in the bottom

145
00:00:391,000 --> 00:01:336,000
dead hang position in this position and

146
00:00:394,000 --> 00:01:340,000
you're going to find that actually

147
00:00:396,000 --> 00:01:343,000
holding the bottom position is going to

148
00:00:400,000 --> 00:01:347,000
be very tough hold yourself on and dead

149
00:00:404,000 --> 00:01:350,000
hang on the wrists lastly because of

150
00:00:408,000 --> 00:01:353,000
that position where the false grip is

151
00:00:410,000 --> 00:01:354,000
going to cause the forearms to keep

152
00:00:413,000 --> 00:01:356,000
switched on

153
00:00:414,000 --> 00:01:359,000
it means that when you're at that bottom

154
00:00:417,000 --> 00:01:361,000
near-dead Hank position everything is

155
00:00:420,000 --> 00:01:364,000
still switched on and it means it's

156
00:00:421,000 --> 00:01:366,000
going to be easier for you to Kip and

157
00:00:424,000 --> 00:01:369,000
bounce back up into the next repetition

158
00:00:427,000 --> 00:01:371,000
and you really don't want to do that you

159
00:00:429,000 --> 00:01:373,000
don't want to be bouncing on to those

160
00:00:431,000 --> 00:01:375,000
ligaments and bouncing on those muscles

161
00:00:433,000 --> 00:01:377,000
you want to control it down and control

162
00:00:436,000 --> 00:01:381,000
it back up without having to bounce up

163
00:00:438,000 --> 00:01:383,000
and down try and get away from that even

164
00:00:442,000 --> 00:01:386,000
though it's going to be easier for you

165
00:00:444,000 --> 00:01:389,000
to do because you're not going to be in

166
00:00:446,000 --> 00:01:392,000
that relaxed state try to keep it under

167
00:00:450,000 --> 00:01:396,000
control and try to keep it so you're at

168
00:00:453,000 --> 00:01:397,000
a very steady pace so hopefully you've

169
00:00:456,000 --> 00:01:400,000
got something out of this advanced

170
00:00:457,000 --> 00:01:403,000
version this is as I've said a very

171
00:00:460,000 --> 00:01:405,000
slight small mechanical change but it

172
00:00:463,000 --> 00:01:407,000
will make things a lot lot harder with

173
00:00:465,000 --> 00:01:409,000
the pull-up however it will mean that

174
00:00:468,000 --> 00:01:411,000
things are going to become a lot more

175
00:00:470,000 --> 00:01:414,000
functional later on and it's going to

176
00:00:472,000 --> 00:01:417,000
translate over to those other movements

177
00:00:474,000 --> 00:01:418,000
within parkour so you really want to try

178
00:00:477,000 --> 00:01:421,000
to start getting used to doing false

179
00:00:478,000 --> 00:01:424,000
grip on the bar and false grip to try

180
00:00:481,000 --> 00:01:424,000
and climb up onto things

181
00:00:490,000 --> 00:01:432,000
you
