Video Details

If you're looking to level up your fitness routine, mastering the bodyweight pull-up is an excellent goal. Pull-ups are a fundamental movement that build upper body strength and improve functional fitness. By honing your technique, you can enhance your strength training, endurance, and overall physical performance. This tutorial outlines key points to help you perform a standard pull-up correctly and efficiently, tapping into the fundamentals and some advanced concepts as you progress.

To start, ensure you’re in the proper starting position: grab the pull-up bar with your hands shoulder-width apart and begin in a dead hang. From this relaxed position, engage your muscles and pull yourself up, making sure to use your full range of motion. It's important to go beyond just getting your chin over the bar; the pull-up concludes when your arms are fully engaged, typically when they are parallel to the ground. As you practice, you can adjust the difficulty by varying the number of repetitions and sets, tailoring your workout to focus on strength, endurance, or muscle building. Remember, while the pull-up effectively works your upper body, it doesn’t fully engage your entire body, so consider incorporating additional exercises for a well-rounded fitness routine.

In summary, the bodyweight pull-up is a fantastic exercise for building strength and improving functionality, provided you focus on executing it correctly. Pay attention to your form and keep working on your range of motion; these elements are crucial for maximizing your training benefits. As you make progress, you'll find that you can adapt the pull-up to fit different training goals, making it a versatile addition to your workout regimen.

  • Start with a dead hang and engage your muscles to pull yourself up, ensuring full range of motion.
  • Adjust the number of reps and sets to match your fitness goals, whether it's strength training, endurance, or muscle gain.
  • Always focus on maintaining proper form to maximize effectiveness and prevent injury.

okay so welcome to the intermediate
2.97
number one with this one you're going to
6
be very familiar with this type of
8.069
pull-up because it is a normal body
11.4
weight puller starting on the bar you're
14.49
going to make sure that you're the
15.839
absolute bottom dead hang position a lot
18.33
of the points from the fundamentals
20.16
video is going to come into play here
21.66
there is no extra equipment to help you
24.539
so what we're going to do is grab the
26.609
bar you're going to squeeze hard you
28.859
dead hang at the bottom and pull up and
33.29
come back down into that dead hang
35.76
relaxed position it is a great way of
38.82
improving your strength we're going to
40.92
work on the programming and figuring out
43.379
how to get stronger with this type of
44.94
training after all of the variations of
47.73
finished but this one is going to be an
50.879
absolutely key one to get right using a
54.96
lot of variables with the pull-up one of
57.75
the major ones is the amount that you do
60.449
so this exercise can be very scalable
63.809
because depending on how many you do how
66.36
many repetitions you do allows this
68.67
exercise to get easier or harder so you
71.7
can play with the pull-up in a lot of
74.52
different ways but the amount of work
77.28
that you do is what's going to make this
79.56
hard changing the amounts that you are
82.17
doing on the bar so the number of
84.24
repetitions you are doing and how many
86.79
sets of that you are doing all depends
89.369
on whether you're looking at trying to
90.93
do strength training endurance training
93.079
something called hypertrophy training so
95.939
that is to look at getting your muscles
98.22
bigger whether you're trying to do
100.02
lactic acid training and you're getting
102.03
used to the amount of lactic acid in
103.59
your body there are lots of different
105.6
ways of tweaking this exercise the body
108.54
weight pull-up exercise to make this
111
training very very versatile so one of
114.659
the awesome things about the pull-up is
116.61
the fact that you are doing the exact
118.829
mechanics needed to pull yourself up
122.009
onto something because that is exactly
124.409
what you are doing
125.759
so getting used to doing this motion and
128.67
trying to do the pull-up for the full
131.129
range of motion is going to be a
133.8
great way to becoming more functional
136.61
another great plus is you don't need any
139.98
equipment there is nothing extra you
142.35
need other than a bar to hang on and
145.29
that makes this one of the most
147.42
versatile and best exercises to working
150.51
your overhead pulling action so starting
153.57
from the top and pulling down so let's
156.33
have a look at some of the things that
158.04
the bodyweight pull-up doesn't
159.72
necessarily work now the first one can
163.11
be slightly controversial but arguably
166.02
the pull-up is not very functional in
170.25
itself getting to this position doesn't
173.97
really help you do much so starting from
176.76
the top and getting to here is not
179.67
really going to help you get all the way
181.89
up over something so we will look at
185.52
that in another series which would be
187.53
the muscle up and the climb up but
189.75
actually a pull-up is going to help
192.3
become a strength training exercise to
195.12
becoming stronger but functionally it is
199.02
not that functional in terms of getting
202.47
over something or on to something one of
205.92
the other things that I mentioned at the
208.38
very beginning of the series is the Hat
210.72
the full range of motion of the body
213.39
weight pull-up is not always done and
216.33
I've seen this many many times that the
219.959
pull-up generally finishes when the chin
223.92
gets above the bar now that is not the
227.43
end of the pull the end of the pull is
230.01
when you can no longer do any pulling
233.31
with the arms so from the side the
236.489
pulling actually finishes when the arm
239.04
is parallel with the ground and you
240.989
actually start pushing instead now the
244.62
pull-up is actually quite tricky to do a
247.5
full range of motion to that position
250.14
because the bar is actually in the way
253.019
in your chest can actually get into the
255.209
way of the of the bar and the pull-up
257.34
and it means that you have to curve
259.47
around it as you pull so the the bar or
263.25
pull-up actually for a full range of
265.77
motion can be very tricky
267.81
however it still can be done and
269.99
training it is actually a really good
273.03
way of increasing the strength in that
275.31
bottom end so one of the other things to
278.91
think about when you are doing isolated
281.61
type muscle groups so with the pull-up
284.34
the isolation is you are doing really
287.43
only upper body type muscles so your
291.09
obliques and your glutes might get
293.1
involved a little bit but actually the
296.25
pull-up is not going to be using your
299.07
entire body and we really want to think
301.98
about doing exercises that involve as
304.86
much of the body as we possibly can so
307.83
the pull-up even though it's a great
309.75
exercise is very very strength strength
311.94
based and it can help increase your
314.79
strength functionally it's not that
317.37
great and it can be quite isolated in
320.04
terms of the muscle groups that are
321.54
being used so when you're doing a
323.73
pull-up there is a lot to remember
325.2
there's a lots and lots of different
327.09
things to try to do to get this right
329.73
and that can actually be quite daunting
332.16
when you're trying to just work the
334.71
pull-up obviously start from the
337.38
beginning and only focus on one or two
339.57
things and as you start doing it more
342.48
you're going to incorporate more parts
344.61
of it to make sure you're getting it
346.14
right it's imperative that when you are
348.57
doing the bodyweight pull up that you're
350.31
doing it correctly you're doing the full
352.68
range of motion as always and you're
354.75
always trying to make sure you've got
356.97
great body position otherwise you are
359.97
just being weaker in certain sections
362.729
and we want to try to get rid of that so
365.91
that's a wrap up of the intermediate
367.89
first version of the pull-up this is
370.95
essentially something that most people
372.84
are trying to get to doing pull-ups on
375.45
their own without any assistance we're
378.69
going to look at the programming and how
380.4
to do your training at the end but for
383.31
now this is just a demonstration of how
385.77
to do a bodyweight pull up correctly
388.65
with the right mechanics
397.71
you

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
okay so welcome to the intermediate

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:07,000
number one with this one you're going to

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,000
be very familiar with this type of

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,000
pull-up because it is a normal body

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
weight puller starting on the bar you're

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000
going to make sure that you're the

7
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,000
absolute bottom dead hang position a lot

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
of the points from the fundamentals

9
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
video is going to come into play here

10
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
there is no extra equipment to help you

11
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
so what we're going to do is grab the

12
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,000
bar you're going to squeeze hard you

13
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,000
dead hang at the bottom and pull up and

14
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
come back down into that dead hang

15
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,000
relaxed position it is a great way of

16
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
improving your strength we're going to

17
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000
work on the programming and figuring out

18
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
how to get stronger with this type of

19
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
training after all of the variations of

20
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:54,000
finished but this one is going to be an

21
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,000
absolutely key one to get right using a

22
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,000
lot of variables with the pull-up one of

23
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:03,000
the major ones is the amount that you do

24
00:00:60,000 --> 00:01:05,000
so this exercise can be very scalable

25
00:00:63,000 --> 00:01:07,000
because depending on how many you do how

26
00:00:66,000 --> 00:01:11,000
many repetitions you do allows this

27
00:00:68,000 --> 00:01:13,000
exercise to get easier or harder so you

28
00:00:71,000 --> 00:01:16,000
can play with the pull-up in a lot of

29
00:00:74,000 --> 00:01:19,000
different ways but the amount of work

30
00:00:77,000 --> 00:01:21,000
that you do is what's going to make this

31
00:00:79,000 --> 00:01:23,000
hard changing the amounts that you are

32
00:00:82,000 --> 00:01:26,000
doing on the bar so the number of

33
00:00:84,000 --> 00:01:29,000
repetitions you are doing and how many

34
00:00:86,000 --> 00:01:30,000
sets of that you are doing all depends

35
00:00:89,000 --> 00:01:32,000
on whether you're looking at trying to

36
00:00:90,000 --> 00:01:35,000
do strength training endurance training

37
00:00:93,000 --> 00:01:38,000
something called hypertrophy training so

38
00:00:95,000 --> 00:01:39,000
that is to look at getting your muscles

39
00:00:98,000 --> 00:01:41,000
bigger whether you're trying to do

40
00:00:100,000 --> 00:01:43,000
lactic acid training and you're getting

41
00:00:102,000 --> 00:01:45,000
used to the amount of lactic acid in

42
00:00:103,000 --> 00:01:47,000
your body there are lots of different

43
00:00:105,000 --> 00:01:50,000

onto something because that is exactly

50
00:00:124,000 --> 00:01:68,000
what you are doing

51
00:00:125,000 --> 00:01:70,000
so getting used to doing this motion and

trying to do the pull-up for the full

00:00:136,000 --> 00:01:81,000
another great plus is you don't need any

56

57
00:00:142,000 --> 00:01:87,000
need other than a bar to hang on and

58
00:00:145,000 --> 00:01:90,000
that makes this one of the most

59
00:00:147,000 --> 00:01:93,000
versatile and best exercises to working

60
00:00:150,000 --> 00:01:95,000
your overhead pulling action so starting

61
00:00:153,000 --> 00:01:97,000
from the top and pulling down so let's

62
00:00:156,000 --> 00:01:99,000
have a look at some of the things that

63
00:00:158,000 --> 00:01:103,000
the bodyweight pull-up doesn't

64
00:00:159,000 --> 00:01:105,000
necessarily work now the first one can

65
00:00:163,000 --> 00:01:110,000
be slightly controversial but arguably

66
00:00:166,000 --> 00:01:113,000
the pull-up is not very functional in

67
00:00:170,000 --> 00:01:116,000
itself getting to this position doesn't

68
00:00:173,000 --> 00:01:118,000
really help you do much so starting from

69
00:00:176,000 --> 00:01:121,000
the top and getting to here is not

70
00:00:179,000 --> 00:01:124,000
really going to help you get all the way

71
00:00:181,000 --> 00:01:126,000
up over something so we will look at

72
00:00:185,000 --> 00:01:129,000
that in another series which would be

73
00:00:187,000 --> 00:01:131,000
the muscle up and the climb up but

74
00:00:189,000 --> 00:01:134,000
actually a pull-up is going to help

75
00:00:192,000 --> 00:01:138,000
become a strength training exercise to

76
00:00:195,000 --> 00:01:142,000
becoming stronger but functionally it is

77
00:00:199,000 --> 00:01:145,000
not that functional in terms of getting

78
00:00:202,000 --> 00:01:147,000
over something or on to something one of

79
00:00:205,000 --> 00:01:149,000
the other things that I mentioned at the

80
00:00:208,000 --> 00:01:153,000
very beginning of the series is the Hat

81
00:00:210,000 --> 00:01:155,000
the full range of motion of the body

82
00:00:213,000 --> 00:01:159,000
weight pull-up is not always done and

83
00:00:216,000 --> 00:01:163,000
I've seen this many many times that the

84
00:00:219,000 --> 00:01:166,000
pull-up generally finishes when the chin

85
00:00:223,000 --> 00:01:169,000
gets above the bar now that is not the

86
00:00:227,000 --> 00:01:172,000
end of the pull the end of the pull is

87
00:00:230,000 --> 00:01:176,000
when you can no longer do any pulling

88
00:00:233,000 --> 00:01:178,000
with the arms so from the side the

89
00:00:236,000 --> 00:01:180,000
pulling actually finishes when the arm

90
00:00:239,000 --> 00:01:184,000
is parallel with the ground and you

91
00:00:240,000 --> 00:01:186,000
actually start pushing instead now the

92
00:00:244,000 --> 00:01:189,000
pull-up is actually quite tricky to do a

93
00:00:247,000 --> 00:01:192,000
full range of motion to that position

94
00:00:250,000 --> 00:01:195,000
because the bar is actually in the way

95
00:00:253,000 --> 00:01:197,000
in your chest can actually get into the

96
00:00:255,000 --> 00:01:199,000
way of the of the bar and the pull-up

97
00:00:257,000 --> 00:01:202,000
and it means that you have to curve

98
00:00:259,000 --> 00:01:205,000
around it as you pull so the the bar or

99
00:00:263,000 --> 00:01:207,000
pull-up actually for a full range of

100
00:00:265,000 --> 00:01:209,000
motion can be very tricky

101
00:00:267,000 --> 00:01:212,000
however it still can be done and

102
00:00:269,000 --> 00:01:214,000
training it is actually a really good

103
00:00:273,000 --> 00:01:218,000
way of increasing the strength in that

104
00:00:275,000 --> 00:01:221,000
bottom end so one of the other things to

105
00:00:278,000 --> 00:01:223,000
think about when you are doing isolated

106
00:00:281,000 --> 00:01:226,000
type muscle groups so with the pull-up

107
00:00:284,000 --> 00:01:230,000
the isolation is you are doing really

108
00:00:287,000 --> 00:01:232,000
only upper body type muscles so your

109
00:00:291,000 --> 00:01:236,000
obliques and your glutes might get

110
00:00:293,000 --> 00:01:238,000
involved a little bit but actually the

111
00:00:296,000 --> 00:01:241,000
pull-up is not going to be using your

112
00:00:299,000 --> 00:01:244,000
entire body and we really want to think

113
00:00:301,000 --> 00:01:246,000
about doing exercises that involve as

114
00:00:304,000 --> 00:01:248,000
much of the body as we possibly can so

115
00:00:307,000 --> 00:01:251,000
the pull-up even though it's a great

116
00:00:309,000 --> 00:01:254,000
exercise is very very strength strength

117
00:00:311,000 --> 00:01:256,000
based and it can help increase your

118
00:00:314,000 --> 00:01:259,000
strength functionally it's not that

119
00:00:317,000 --> 00:01:261,000
great and it can be quite isolated in

120
00:00:320,000 --> 00:01:263,000
terms of the muscle groups that are

121
00:00:321,000 --> 00:01:264,000
being used so when you're doing a

122
00:00:323,000 --> 00:01:266,000
pull-up there is a lot to remember

123
00:00:325,000 --> 00:01:269,000
there's a lots and lots of different

124
00:00:327,000 --> 00:01:272,000
things to try to do to get this right

125
00:00:329,000 --> 00:01:273,000
and that can actually be quite daunting

126
00:00:332,000 --> 00:01:277,000
when you're trying to just work the

127
00:00:334,000 --> 00:01:278,000
pull-up obviously start from the

128
00:00:337,000 --> 00:01:282,000
beginning and only focus on one or two

129
00:00:339,000 --> 00:01:284,000
things and as you start doing it more

130
00:00:342,000 --> 00:01:285,000
you're going to incorporate more parts

131
00:00:344,000 --> 00:01:287,000
of it to make sure you're getting it

132
00:00:346,000 --> 00:01:290,000
right it's imperative that when you are

133
00:00:348,000 --> 00:01:292,000
doing the bodyweight pull up that you're

134
00:00:350,000 --> 00:01:294,000
doing it correctly you're doing the full

135
00:00:352,000 --> 00:01:296,000
range of motion as always and you're

136
00:00:354,000 --> 00:01:299,000
always trying to make sure you've got

137
00:00:356,000 --> 00:01:301,000
great body position otherwise you are

138
00:00:359,000 --> 00:01:304,000
just being weaker in certain sections

139
00:00:362,000 --> 00:01:307,000
and we want to try to get rid of that so

140
00:00:365,000 --> 00:01:310,000
that's a wrap up of the intermediate

141
00:00:367,000 --> 00:01:311,000
first version of the pull-up this is

142
00:00:370,000 --> 00:01:314,000
essentially something that most people

143
00:00:372,000 --> 00:01:317,000
are trying to get to doing pull-ups on

144
00:00:375,000 --> 00:01:319,000
their own without any assistance we're

145
00:00:378,000 --> 00:01:322,000
going to look at the programming and how

146
00:00:380,000 --> 00:01:325,000
to do your training at the end but for

147
00:00:383,000 --> 00:01:328,000
now this is just a demonstration of how

148
00:00:385,000 --> 00:01:331,000
to do a bodyweight pull up correctly

149
00:00:388,000 --> 00:01:331,000
with the right mechanics

150
00:00:397,000 --> 00:01:339,000
you
