3 Things You Didn't Know About Pull Ups!

[djmaciiiii]

Found Calimove when the gyms closed, and now almost finished with the advanced program they offer. So much more fun than the gym, because you can see real progression. The best part is the core and back gains, that I never got from the gym.

Fact : Blue shorts increase your strength significantly.

You guys really motivated me to get better at calisthenics. Now I can do 20 pushups easy and 6 pull ups. Thats still not great but better than me when I couldn't do 0 pushups and 0 pull-ups. Now I also have some muscle and less fat.

Needed this very much, thks! Pull up reps gone from 1 to 7, gone from holding with elbows on knees to advance tuck, now pushing for one legged planche. This channel is simply the best

Brilliant stuff Alex, you packed a tonne of very useful information into five minutes, thank you!

Well here we go again, I’ve been proven wrong and it hurts! I mean literally hurts for all of these years in my left shoulder because I’ve been going wide and wondering why I have issues. As soon as I tried this technique the pressure was relieved and it obviously felt a lot better. So kudos to you, I love how strong you are and how flexible and balanced your routines are.

Also if you go to a local gym dont be afraid to use the assisted seat because I love that thing! I'm fairly new to strict pullups so my bodyweight 180lbs is tough for me I love the seat and cranking 12+ strict reps you really feel your back working!

The left photo of the thumbnail legit doesn't look human... Such insane muscular development and inspiration!🔥🔥🔥

[greenhoodie]

I have to say your back muscles are outstanding. Almost hypnotising as they contract in the pull up....
And using rings with those temporary straps on a tree is a great idea, never thought of that!

[nhando]

So to summarize rings are a really good option, as it allows our wrist and shoulders to adjust while pulling up instead of staying fixed with the bar.

I do callisthenics 9 years. I confess i didn't know about the first and the third one. Great great video 👌

[bboga]

the neutral grip is personally the one that feels the healthiest on my elbows and shoulders

You guys just make the best calisthenics videos out there! Simple but concise.
I would really like you to make a video about the Serratus!

[shortsatisfyingrandomasmr]

The only man I follow when it comes to calisthenics. Your push up instructions motivates me to do it better.

This basically a very nice condensed form of teachings you provided to us in other past videos. You gotta love this channel for spreading such knowledge.

[c.galindo]

Nice. I love the detail and focus to get the optimum amount of information in your videos. Excellent as always

[ElvisLifts]

Another excellent video! Great to learn new stuff and remind some old stuff that tends to be forgotten

[KelpWolf]

Nice information, thanks! I do a small number of behind the neck pull-ups to keep mobility, but typically less than half the way to failure. I heard they can be tough on the shoulders due to stress and dangerous rotation... My mobility is good and they don't feel like they're stressing anything, I also started doing them with my feet on the ground and worked up to it. Nice tips! Listen to your body--if you have pain or stress in a joint after doing an exercise, either stop doing it, or get some help to do it correctly.

One of the best videos of the channel, long awaited, pull ups, one of the best exercises in the world

how about thumb position? is there any kind of different? thumb over the bar, and thumb around the bar, or just stick whatever its more comfortable?
