Please make a one arm pullup video yes ❤. There's a massive part that almost no other source covers at the moment and that's going from having the strength to do it to actually completing one

[MrHenne]

I really appreciate you guys putting out free information like this! You'd have to pay quite a bit of money going to your physio once for one issue, nevermind having a free library readily available with so much quality(and well sourced) information around such a diverse set of subjects. You guys deserve so much more love and I hope it comes your way❤

That "Magnus Mitbros" was so smooth 😅

[oleshikaru]

your videos on finger injury and how to fix it has really helped me these past 3 weeks. still recovering, but i can climb again with some taped fingers. not pushing it and being safe, but also working on rehabilitating it. dig this episode as well!

“You’ll know more about pull-ups than any of your friends.” You didn’t win… I have no friends. But, I did learn quite a bit about pull-ups and what’s going on biomechanically. Very helpful video. Of course, “Magnus Mitbro” was the icing on the cake.

I'd love to know about the differences between arched back vs straight/hollow body pull ups. Door frame pullup bars are too low for my to do straight body pull ups.

Dropping a comment for the algo.
I usually never comment, but your videos really help to better understand the mechanics of body movements, so thank you.

[PS-nmwk]

You won! So here's my comment. I really loved the "sophisticated research" scene xD Off to the shop now anyway.

[fastme]

Yes one arm pullup video please!
Also why my elbows really hate one arm pullups but heavy regular pullups (+70kg) dont seem to aggrevate them as much.

[Acorn]

Another fine video. Informative and entertaining. And I know so much more about pull ups now than anyone who hasn't watched this vid.

[shanephillips]

This mans said "to avoid going straight up into the bar and concussing ourselves..." Hooper's got some crazy velocity on those pullups!

[davidahum]

You won the bet, learnt a lot, will share it with my bros.

[mr.apartment]

archer pull-ups seem applicable to climbing for those moves where you’re leaning one way or another, locking off to get the next hold

[sandbox]

A bet is a bet. Well played, sir. Well played.

[hunterboulderer]

The shades complete this video. Thank you 🙏🙏

[ThPhysics]

Thanks for the video)) As always: good quality content+ a bit of humour= perfection.

[TheMegaMrMe]

Explain it a different way? My dude, the aerospace engineering explanation was mind-blowingly amazing!

[OanDeWaal]

Would love a video on one arm pull-ups! Especially on when to do them, i.e. progression to get to them form normal pull-ups. 😄

[bladeboytb]

I noticed it is hard to keep traps retracted and shoulders down while trying to do overhand pull ups. It just feel natural to let your body adjust itself when performing the movement.

[asdzt]

I suffered from golfer's elbow for a couple of years and the safest pull up variation to prevent it from happening again is neutral grip pull ups.
