Do Your Pull Ups!

If you are familiar with my content, you will know that I'm extremely enthusiastic about the pull up and its variations. The pull up is a simple and accessible exercise that can have a profound effect on our aesthetics and physical capability. It develop the lats, famous for creating the sought after V-Taper, as well as biceps, forearms, mid and lower traps, and the core. Moreover, it is uniquely functional. Climbers, combat athletes, and tactical athletes/first responders will all benefit from this exercise as it closely replicates movements they encounter as part of their every day lives.

Man...that is some of the strictest most textbook pullup form I've ever seen. Just proves that you don't need added weight to make them challenging.

Doing Kyle's style of pull ups, I remember I was hitting about 3 sets of 5 slow and solid range of motion. When I had attempted a max pull up test I had gotten 15. Frequently done pull ups absolutely turn you into a beast for even the most hardcore scenarios such as carrying 2 year olds and gentle things like knife fights.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how the homie K boges just does 3 minutes straight of textbook-form pullups all the while dropping big-brain truth bombs that always leave me thinking, "goddamit he's right, I can't wait to try that." You've accelerated my appetite for exercising and I truly appreciate your work, integrity, and dedication.

I've been watching your videos and starting out very slowly - 1 rep 4 times per day spread out. Now I'm doing 16 squats per day and 6 pushups, it may not sound much but the change it's made to my strength and aesthetic is incredible. This is exactly what YouTube should be for. Thanks Kyle.

It just makes so much more sense to me to focus on the exercises that give you the most return rather than many different exercises that just aren't as effective. Been focusing on push ups, pull ups, and squats for the past couple of weeks as per your suggestion. Looking forward to keeping this going for a long time.

And just when you are starting to slack off on form… Here comes the video from K boges!
I haven’t commented on the previous videos of the series (“do your squats“, “do your push-ups“) but I just couldn’t refrain myself from commenting on this one.
Thank you for reminding us again and again about how form is important in training, about which exercises work, and why they work.
Grazie!

K Boges and the Bioneer The 2 best body training advice on YouTube for me. God bless you Bro!

[talanKdd]

Stumbled upon your channel a couple of days ago, and kinda fell down the rabbit hole. Watched a ton of your content since. I had already been applying a lot of the principles you speak of to my own training and it’s awesome to see it covered in such eloquent manner on your channel. I think you have a very powerful, and inspiring message. Keep on sharing!

[MrRobertSelvedge]

By far my favorite fitness channel on youtube. As a 28 year old new dad with limited time I can't tell you how much I appreciate the no bs solid information that comes from your videos. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with all of us and offering it to us for free

You made me want to do pull-ups (had to start training at the gym for that) and it's like, my favorite exercise now. Used to only be able to do one clean rep (+1 or 2 dirty ones), I've followed your advice and now I can do 5 clean reps. Thank you for your content

When I was younger, I loved pull-ups cause they gave me that V-taper and muscular arms with awesome vascularity. Now 30yrs later I love them cause they keep my body from getting destroyed by being a desk jockey 40hrs a week. I put special emphasis on activating the scapula all throughout the movement, getting a total stretch at the bottom, start the ascent by squeezing the scapula and finishing that squeeze at the very top as if I'm trying to squeeze an orange between my shoulder blades. All in all, the benefits of pull-ups are solid in every aspect.

[jasonwelsh]

Those are some beautiful pullups. This channel single handedly changed my focus from perfecting form over adding weight and I am better for it. Thanks for all the great content.

[goodyeoman]

It took me a while to 'master' the pull up - resisting the urge to bounce, ensuring full lock out of elbows etc - but it was all worth it. I was a skinny ectomorph before; now I'm lean with respectable muscle mass. I can do 12 clean pull ups and maybe 15 as an all-out effort with imperfect technique.

[UncleDanBand]

You are so right. I stopped doing pullups for 5-6 months and was doing a lot of dumbbell work my gains slowed. I put them back in a few weeks back and I am once again building muscle. Almost like newbie gains again.

Kyle, I’m 58 and started lifting again about a year ago. 6’5” and started at 258lbs and now down to 225lbs (lightest since age 25).

I’ve never been good at body weight exercises but came across your channel a couple of months ago. You inspired me to incorporate calisthenics. I’ve been doing assisted pull ups focused on form for a couple of weeks. On a lark, I decided to try a body weight parallel pull-up at the end of todays work out. I nailed it!! So happy right now!!

thank you for your guidance and I will continue focusing on form as I add progression!!

[thomasmcgill]

Absolutely love this channel. Exactly the inspiration I need. Im 65, had a heart attack 6 years. After that experience, I now walk 5-7 miles a day, and do at least 200 pushups in 8 sets of 25. I am definately going to buy a pullup bar today. I used to be very strong with pullups when I was younger. Pullups will be a great additive to my pushups. Thank you so much for this wonderful channel.

K boges my man, been really loving your content and appreciating your take on things. It's been very helpful and has changed my view on fitness and my relationship to it for the better in the last few months, so thank you. Would you consider doing some more in depth videos on not only nutrition but just an overall healthy lifestyle? I'm thinking in terms of topics like sleep, hydration, stretching, staying active, getting fresh air and sunshine etc. as well as your personal take on caffeine, alcohol, dairy products, tips for good digestion etc.

[Diamondxx]

man just discovered this channel thanks for brief and informative videos

[frankheffernan]

You continue to show me by example how to improve. Your explanations are clear and understandable. Finding and subscribing to your channel has helped me with my recovery, sustainment and growth. Thanks.
