How to optimize pull-ups (for Lats growth)

[EpicRivers]

I almost did my first pull up today. I weigh 249lbs, down 3 pounds this last week, I'm bout to do it.

Wide grip hits upper back more, close or neutral grip is for lats

I love this guy because the only person he competes with is himself

[BruceMichaelFilms]

Thank you so much for changing the song. Your reels used to drive me insane.

[KickOnYT]

Thanks for the tip. Now I have a better form on the one pull-up that I can actually do

[mexicanmax]

I can currently do dips so far, soon I’ll be able to do pull ups 💪.

If we struggle with pull ups is assisted pull ups the only way to get better?
Edit: Thank you for the feedback guys! Love to hear how people find their way to gym goals!

Those make emphasis your upper back, if you want to feel pull ups that focus on lats do neutral grip or chin ups

[DodoBird]

Straps can also help because they’ll take away the grip component and allow you to focus more on the movement itself.

The wider you go, you are hitting the lower part of your lats. It is to be noted that the grip width essentially makes a minimal difference when it comes to activating your lats. The key is to always pull from your elbows. This is how you knock your forearms and major part of
your back out of the picture.

His music got better after that middle ground episode 😂

[LoDart]

nice to see gym novice guy being motivated and not terrified lol

Is the goal here to reduce bicep involvement with the wider grip, and reduce forearm involvement with the thumbless grip?

[IDKevin]

Bros whole marketing is his facial expressions💀

As long as being able to do a pull up is better than not doing a pull up

[MalikCalisthenics]

Close Grip = Biceps
Normal Grip = Both
Wide Grip = Lats

[Hit]

Some people arguing if it's true or not, just do both do mix neutral and wide

[aa-kr]

I do both grip, thumb over bar hook grip and standard. i do standard when i want to squeeze the handle and train or use my forearm more

[romeylon]

putting your thumb over the bar is killing your back gains.
thumb over the bar decreases your grip and you cant pull as hard.
if your grip is stronger you can pull stronger, if its weak youll be limited by it and work your forearms instead of your back.
its even more crucial if you would like to progress to muscle ups or weighted pull ups.

[joselago]

I'd strongly recommend to do both grips lol

[Eddwyyyy]

I’ve heard and seen some study that show underhand hit more lower lat than upper
