ABSOLUTE BEST PULL-UPS FOR GROWTH + How To Go From 0-20 Reps!

New Backed By Science Program is LIVE!

Ready for some pull-ups?

I had a few questions about the type of pull-up variations I do as well as how to increase the number of reps you can do so I wanted to throw it all into one video.

Couple of things to note. If you’re someone who can’t do any pull-ups and you’re following my advice on using bands to assist you at first then I would start with a close grip version. It will allow you to see progress faster since your lats are the prime movers.

Let me know what kind of variations you do in the comments below and what video you want next!

As of this moment, 67, 000 views. No BS intro, no BS content, no BS sponsors. Let’s say you saved all of us just 2 minutes of BS.
That’s 2, 000+ hours of life saved.
You are literally a life saver mate. 🥺

How to do more pull-ups:

These pull ups with the triangle attachment is legit. I have never felt my lats on pull ups like this before. This is quickly becoming my go too

[mrtwister]

The “old school” mentality of getting your chin up and over the bar and extending entirely at the bottom is what avoids a lack of mobility and weak scapula. Calisthenics Movement has some really good explanations on why the full range of motion during pull ups is important. These do look like a really good way to work out the lats, but there’s more than those which should be working during a pull up.

Ryan always gives great advice, doesn’t over-present it and gets to the point! These are nice short videos that cover a lot of questions. Such good info every time!

[JohnBradydoesstuff]

I love and appreciate how concise your are. So many videos are 10, 20 minutes long when they really only need to be 4. Thank you for cutting out the filler. Incredibly helpful. Much love and respect!

This has become my favourite fitness channel by far. The short videos with great exercises and dry humour really click with me. As a 50+ I love how you push for volume more than weight. Also the focus on mind muscle connection is a game changer for me. I am so much more in connection what I do and I'm feeling and seeing result after about a month already. Thank you so much !

[deegee]

Love the fact he isn’t trying to sell anything during the advice, simple and clear, so many others are missing the trick - this is what we want, no science or BS technical jargon a bit of simple anatomy and a whole lot of motivation... thanks Ryan you have taught me a lot..

"Follow the natural arc of the lats" Makes perfect sense. My 2nd or 3rd of your videos and I really appreciate the simple, common-sensical approach. Looking forward to more content

[MystfireStudio]

This is such a concise video methodology that I feel like I'm growing my exercise repertoire with every video.

Thanks for these.

Your vlogs have been very helpful to me. I am an older fella so your calm, no BS, yet focused intensity has been especially helpful to me.

[bonjouraurevoir]

"I will talk to you soon" that line inspires me a lot to train myself!

[reminixiv]

This has been my favourite fitness channel so far. To see this giant, grown ass men squeeze out the last few reps with the face of utter exhaustion is ridiculously motivating. Also probably the only guy on youtube with sweat stains. Good stuff, keep it real!

[joelcarrasquillo]

This year... this guy is gonna blow up heavily. Haven't seen a video that hasn't helped me out, I love this content💯

[anthonygarofalo]

Best videos out there. I'm 48 been gymmin for YEARS, and his articulate descriptions demonstrates his acumen.
Well done sir, great videos

[StefRoGer]

I highly recommend the resistance bands! After a an accident that completely destroyed my arm years ago, I couldn’t do a single pull-up, not even a push-up.
Started with the thick resistance band in January, went to a thinner one in February and in March I was able to do 3-4 in a row without resistance.
As someone who almost lost an arm and didn’t do any sports until Corona came, that’s quite the progress for me.

Keep the videos coming!

[peterb]

Really good.
Have learnt more from this than years of gym experience, magazines and books on this.

[prestonnelson]

You have some of the BEST content on Youtube! You clearly describe, not just the movement, but the way the movement should feel while exercising. Nice work!! I will be watching:)

[josecerveza]

A truly concise and helpful video. One of the most valuable movements. It's amazing how you can drill on these for years and still learn and get better every day.

[TheCtecte]

Thanks for your videos, they have been a big part of my fitness journey. I have a small window of time for the gym and these help make the most of it.
