Video Details

In this tutorial, we’re diving into an advanced pull-up technique that incorporates isometric holds. If you’ve been working on your pull-ups but want to challenge yourself further, this method is perfect. By adding pauses at different points of the movement, you’ll not only expend more energy but also strengthen the areas where you might struggle the most. This approach can enhance your overall pull-up performance and allow you to tailor your workouts to your individual needs.

To get started, hang from the bar in a fully extended position. Pull up and hold for three seconds at various points: you might choose to pause at the bottom and then again midway before reaching the top. This exercise can be easily adjusted based on your fitness level by changing the number of repetitions, sets, pause points along the pull-up path, and the length of each pause. For example, if you’re just beginning, try doing two pull-ups with a two-second hold at two points. As you progress, move on to more repetitions, longer holds, or more pause points to increase difficulty. Additionally, consider recording yourself while performing the exercise—this can help you identify your weaker areas and monitor your form throughout.

To wrap up, incorporating isometric pauses into your pull-up routine can dramatically enhance your strength and control, particularly in the more challenging segments of the movement. While this technique focuses more on muscular endurance and less on pure strength or speed, it is invaluable for building a well-rounded pulling ability. By adjusting the variables outlined, you can continuously challenge yourself and avoid plateaus in your training.

Highlights:

  • Incorporate isometric holds at various points during your pull-up to build strength and endurance.
  • Adjust the difficulty by modifying repetitions, sets, pause points, and hold durations.
  • Record your performance to identify weaker areas and improve your technique.

welcome to option 3 for the
1.62
intermediates this time we're gonna
3.659
start adding a little bit of isometric
5.58
pausing into the pull-up so the idea was
8.639
this one is we are going to put pauses
11.219
at different points along the path of
13.86
the pull-up what this is going to do is
16.379
a multiple of things first one being
19.59
it's gonna expend energy at those points
23.34
and the second being we can work on the
25.83
weaker sections more okay so to start
29.609
with what you're going to do is hang on
32.009
the bar at the very bottom again and
34.34
from here what I'm going to do is pull
37.77
up and hold for one two three come up
42.69
one two three and come up one two three
48.41
and come down so as you can see this
52.649
exercise now becomes very very scalable
55.68
as well we've got actually four
57.93
variables that we can play we're to make
60.449
this easier or harder those four would
63.51
be the number of repetitions that you
65.82
are going to do the number of sets you
68.939
are going to do of those repetitions so
71.49
whether you're doing two pull-ups five
74.549
times or you're doing five to five reps
77.61
10 times it can may make this exercise
80.13
easier or harder just by changing those
83.25
two but on top of that we now have the
86.61
different number of points along the
89.369
path that we are going to take whether
91.02
that is going to be 3 or 2 or 1 or up
94.89
the other end we could take 5 8 or 10
97.59
different sections before we get to the
100.049
top and the fourth one would be how long
103.47
we're going to spend at those positions
105.81
so on the bottom end you could just do
109.38
one repetition maybe three times and
112.079
you've got the bottom part and the top
114.93
part as your two points and you're just
117.689
going to spend two seconds on the other
120.39
end you can make this very very
122.34
difficult by purely making five
125.64
repetitions you've got 10 sets of that
128.28
you're doing eight sections along the
131.28
path and you're taking five sec
134.05
on each part this would be at the very
136.92
higher-end type of training the sames
140.26
intermediate number 2 intermediate
142.48
number 3 is also really good for looking
145.24
at both the mechanics and the weaker
148.3
parts of our pole so we can see and
151.03
analyze which bit we find the hardest we
154.93
can film ourselves and actually record
156.94
what is going on with our pole so we can
159.34
actually see ourselves struggling at
162.16
different points and seeing which bits
163.96
are harder and you're going to have a
165.94
look at the mechanics and the control of
168.52
pulling up as well so this exercise is
171.37
really good for the mechanics and
173.26
control so this exercise is really good
175.93
at looking at the mechanics and what
178.87
parts are weaker I would really
181.69
recommend filming yourself when you are
183.85
doing this exercise you can see on the
187.18
video what parts are actually where
189.88
you're struggling and you're going to be
191.56
able to see and have visual feedback of
194.05
the bits that you need to work harder on
196.12
on the clip slide again we have some
198.37
negatives as well as always those
200.739
negatives are going to start with we are
202.69
not working strength based training so
205.78
much with this strength based training
208.57
if you're looking at pure strength based
210.73
you want to be looking at one rep maxes
213.64
and that type of training and this is
216.07
not that this is more as I said before
218.35
muscular endurance as with intermediate
221.11
number two this is also not really
224.11
working power we haven't got a lot of
226.959
speed involved and it's going to be
229.09
working a lot more control rather than
232.09
power and straining something else that
234.79
is fairly hard with this is that the
237.58
body position keeping correct body
239.83
position as you're becoming fatigued is
242.53
very very hard when you start getting to
244.78
the end of the exercise this gets tricky
247.78
because the weaker muscles and the ones
250.12
that you're not using so much they are
252.31
going to get forgotten about and all of
254.32
your energy is going to focus on the
255.88
main muscle groups that need to do the
258.91
pull so wrapping up we've started adding
261.669
more variables into making the pull up
264.37
harder and this is going to be a good
266.72
great way to make this totally scalable
269.54
as well looking intermediate number two
272.21
and intermediate number three they give
275
great ways of changing the difficulty by
278.21
just different variables of time
280.75
increments of isometric holds and the
284.06
time on those holds
293.23

welcome to option 3 for the

2

intermediates this time we're gonna

3
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,000
start adding a little bit of isometric

pausing into the pull-up so the idea was

5
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
this one is we are going to put pauses

6
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
at different points along the path of

7
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,000
the pull-up what this is going to do is

8
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,000
a multiple of things first one being

and the second being we can work on the

11

weaker sections more okay so to start

12
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000
with what you're going to do is hang on

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000
the bar at the very bottom again and

14
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:42,000
from here what I'm going to do is pull

15
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:47,000
up and hold for one two three come up

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:51,000
one two three and come up one two three

17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:55,000
and come down so as you can see this

18
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
exercise now becomes very very scalable

19
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
as well we've got actually four

variables that we can play we're to make

21
00:00:60,000 --> 00:01:05,000
this easier or harder those four would

22
00:00:63,000 --> 00:01:08,000
be the number of repetitions that you

23
00:00:65,000 --> 00:01:10,000
are going to do the number of sets you

24
00:00:68,000 --> 00:01:13,000
are going to do of those repetitions so

25
00:00:71,000 --> 00:01:17,000
whether you're doing two pull-ups five

26
00:00:74,000 --> 00:01:19,000
times or you're doing five to five reps

27
00:00:77,000 --> 00:01:22,000
10 times it can may make this exercise

28
00:00:80,000 --> 00:01:26,000
easier or harder just by changing those

29
00:00:83,000 --> 00:01:29,000
two but on top of that we now have the

30
00:00:86,000 --> 00:01:30,000
different number of points along the

31
00:00:89,000 --> 00:01:34,000
path that we are going to take whether

32
00:00:91,000 --> 00:01:37,000
that is going to be 3 or 2 or 1 or up

33
00:00:94,000 --> 00:01:39,000

00:00:97,000 --> 00:01:42,000
different sections before we get to the

36
00:00:103,000 --> 00:01:48,000
we're going to spend at those positions

37
00:00:105,000 --> 00:01:51,000
so on the bottom end you could just do

38
00:00:109,000 --> 00:01:54,000
one repetition maybe three times and

39
00:00:112,000 --> 00:01:57,000
you've got the bottom part and the top

40
00:00:114,000 --> 00:01:59,000
part as your two points and you're just

41
00:00:117,000 --> 00:01:61,000
going to spend two seconds on the other

42
00:00:120,000 --> 00:01:65,000
end you can make this very very

43
00:00:122,000 --> 00:01:67,000
difficult by purely making five

44
00:00:125,000 --> 00:01:70,000
repetitions you've got 10 sets of that

45
00:00:128,000 --> 00:01:73,000
you're doing eight sections along the

46
00:00:131,000 --> 00:01:76,000
path and you're taking five sec

47
00:00:134,000 --> 00:01:80,000
on each part this would be at the very

48
00:00:136,000 --> 00:01:81,000
higher-end type of training the sames

49
00:00:140,000 --> 00:01:84,000
intermediate number 2 intermediate

50
00:00:142,000 --> 00:01:87,000
number 3 is also really good for looking

51
00:00:145,000 --> 00:01:90,000
at both the mechanics and the weaker

52
00:00:148,000 --> 00:01:94,000
parts of our pole so we can see and

53
00:00:151,000 --> 00:01:96,000
analyze which bit we find the hardest we

54
00:00:154,000 --> 00:01:98,000
can film ourselves and actually record

55
00:00:156,000 --> 00:01:101,000
what is going on with our pole so we can

56
00:00:159,000 --> 00:01:103,000
actually see ourselves struggling at

57
00:00:162,000 --> 00:01:105,000
different points and seeing which bits

58
00:00:163,000 --> 00:01:107,000
are harder and you're going to have a

59
00:00:165,000 --> 00:01:110,000
look at the mechanics and the control of

60
00:00:168,000 --> 00:01:112,000
pulling up as well so this exercise is

61
00:00:171,000 --> 00:01:115,000
really good for the mechanics and

62
00:00:173,000 --> 00:01:118,000
control so this exercise is really good

63
00:00:175,000 --> 00:01:120,000
at looking at the mechanics and what

64
00:00:178,000 --> 00:01:122,000
parts are weaker I would really

65
00:00:181,000 --> 00:01:126,000
recommend filming yourself when you are

66
00:00:183,000 --> 00:01:129,000
doing this exercise you can see on the

67
00:00:187,000 --> 00:01:131,000
video what parts are actually where

68
00:00:189,000 --> 00:01:133,000
you're struggling and you're going to be

69
00:00:191,000 --> 00:01:135,000
able to see and have visual feedback of

70
00:00:194,000 --> 00:01:138,000
the bits that you need to work harder on

71
00:00:196,000 --> 00:01:140,000
on the clip slide again we have some

72
00:00:198,000 --> 00:01:142,000
negatives as well as always those

73
00:00:200,000 --> 00:01:145,000
negatives are going to start with we are

74
00:00:202,000 --> 00:01:147,000
not working strength based training so

75
00:00:205,000 --> 00:01:149,000
much with this strength based training

76
00:00:208,000 --> 00:01:153,000
if you're looking at pure strength based

77
00:00:210,000 --> 00:01:155,000
you want to be looking at one rep maxes

78
00:00:213,000 --> 00:01:157,000
and that type of training and this is

79
00:00:216,000 --> 00:01:161,000
not that this is more as I said before

80
00:00:218,000 --> 00:01:163,000
muscular endurance as with intermediate

81
00:00:221,000 --> 00:01:166,000
number two this is also not really

82
00:00:224,000 --> 00:01:168,000
working power we haven't got a lot of

83
00:00:226,000 --> 00:01:171,000
speed involved and it's going to be

84
00:00:229,000 --> 00:01:174,000
working a lot more control rather than

85
00:00:232,000 --> 00:01:177,000
power and straining something else that

86
00:00:234,000 --> 00:01:179,000
is fairly hard with this is that the

87
00:00:237,000 --> 00:01:181,000
body position keeping correct body

88
00:00:239,000 --> 00:01:183,000
position as you're becoming fatigued is

89
00:00:242,000 --> 00:01:187,000
very very hard when you start getting to

90
00:00:244,000 --> 00:01:189,000
the end of the exercise this gets tricky

91
00:00:247,000 --> 00:01:191,000
because the weaker muscles and the ones

92
00:00:250,000 --> 00:01:194,000
that you're not using so much they are

93
00:00:252,000 --> 00:01:195,000
going to get forgotten about and all of

94
00:00:254,000 --> 00:01:198,000
your energy is going to focus on the

95
00:00:255,000 --> 00:01:200,000
main muscle groups that need to do the

96
00:00:258,000 --> 00:01:203,000
pull so wrapping up we've started adding

97
00:00:261,000 --> 00:01:206,000
more variables into making the pull up

98
00:00:264,000 --> 00:01:209,000
harder and this is going to be a good

99
00:00:266,000 --> 00:01:211,000
great way to make this totally scalable

100
00:00:269,000 --> 00:01:214,000
as well looking intermediate number two

101
00:00:272,000 --> 00:01:218,000
and intermediate number three they give

102
00:00:275,000 --> 00:01:220,000
great ways of changing the difficulty by

103
00:00:278,000 --> 00:01:223,000
just different variables of time

104
00:00:280,000 --> 00:01:226,000
increments of isometric holds and the

105
00:00:284,000 --> 00:01:227,000
time on those holds

106
00:00:293,000 --> 00:01:235,000
you
