I have been doing pull-ups for years and never realized there was a difference between hollow body and arched pull-ups. Thanks for the great content.

I've always struggled with arched pull ups, as I naturally have a stronger anterior chain, but the tip that helped me address that and get some decent arched pulls ups is to pull your hands away from each other, like you're pulling two curtains apart. After scapular retraction, it really helps fire up the lats and produce less recruitment in the biceps.

As an ex professional gymnast athlete, i would recommend hollow pull ups for the only reason that you engage your pelvis and your core becomes stronger day after day! Both exercises are good😊

Although not mentioned in the video, hollow body also recruits more lats, whereas arched will recruit more rhomboids and teres major.

Thanks, this increased my maximum reps by 2-3. Very helpful for hypertrophy goals, indeed.

I don't have an arch. I have a hunchback😂

Remember that hollow body doesnt mean rounded upper back and shoulders forward, we're only talking about the core, you shouldn't link core position and upper back position together, theyre seperate things

Can we do sets of both the types of the pull ups in a single workout???

Arch for building back and hollow for core!?

[kanalprobny]

I feel like I get more lower lats engangement, also more DOMS, when Im doing hollow pullups. Especially when doing with neutral grip

You are an exception to the rule and a blessing to the training world. It’s sad that being honest and fact based limits the growth of your following. Keep fighting the good fight sir.

Easy rule of thumb
•For heavy days i.e 3x3, 3x5, do hollow body and/or hybrid - because it feels the most natural
•For volume days i.e 3x10, etc, do arched back, because *drum roll* it feels the most natural.
Problem solved. You're welcome.

I find hollow at the bottom, moving to an arch at the top is best overall. It helps me follow a better path and prevent excessive swinging

I'm working on my muscle ups. This will help. Thank you

[MrQuay]

No need to think. Just exercise consistently

The arch technique helps in the correction of forward head posture. I'm not so sure about the hollow body position though as this seems to replicate the forward head posture.

[CarlRRogers]

Wow! Never heard anyone explain this before!!! Thank you!!!

[Fiufsciak]

I'm close to my first arched pull-up, but the hollow body one... it's intimidating how much tougher it is

[dhirenm]

Excellent form . Some of the best I've ever seen .

[elitebeing]

My body naturally took that position after i master the pullups.
