I kept getting shoulder pain once I saw your McGill pull up video and started bracing my core my lats were so pumped. Thank you

I just wanted to say ive been struggling with knee pain for YEARS. Ive had two operations (one wasnt successful) so theres a lot goin on down there. Ive been watching and studying every single video of yours and ive been adding in multiple exercises with bands following your principles... I havent been able to single leg squat on my right leg without severe pain for a long time, but after a few weeks of consistently training hip joints, ankle mobility, glutes, etc l finally am able to single leg squat pain free. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise on the internet, i genuinely thought i would need another surgery but i think i was just missing proper care of my joints and adbuctors and such!

This explains why using an assisted pullup machine 'feels' so different to a simple bodyweight pullup even though in theory its the same exercise with less weight. You arent engaging your core therefore not feeling the cue to rotate your shoulders and mind-muscle activate more back muscles. Ive found assisted PU to be more taxing on my shoulders and could never figure out why. Well now I know so thanks you.

Your info about bracing has finally sunk into my brain and convinced me to buy a 10kg kettlebell.I started doing a couple sets of core stability exercises, and it really helped me improve my posture! My waist is looking a lot better too now that my body is holding itself up instead of crushing all my organs lol

These cues are amazing, so many people are missing out on this invaluable knowledge of human anatomy, that can substantially improve your exercise life. Never stop teaching!

Dude a full pullup like that where the chest touch’s the bar is beautiful. I haven’t seen anyone at the gym do that. Im gonna get it one day

[Pauliesha]

After watching this about 10 times, I still cannot do it😅

Dammit the cue of bending the bar allowed me to add 2 reps to my pullups, I cant believe this!

[antinapay]

"Think about bending the bar." Jesus Christ this changes everything.

Edit: after 6 months, I can do 20 straight. This is honestly the best shorts channel.

that external rotation thing is a miracle, it cured my shoulder problems on pull ups

[i-killed-a-man]

the definition on his lats is insane, bro was chiselled.

[deyvisonwillamy]

External rotation to make the movement more shoulder extension than shoulder aduction .
That's why neutral grip lat pulldown hits that lats more

[grfilibuster]

Thank you for this video. I never considered my core nor externally rotating my shoulders. I am gonna put this to work at the gym later today

[LaVaurDaynes]

Wow, this is gold! This just changed the game for me. Thank you squat university!

[westoncroye]

Another good cue is to engage the lats and feel the force of the pull-ups from your pinky finger which will engage the lats even more and lower the effort needed to grip the bar with your fore arms. The last one I can think of is to only lock out the elbows and never allow your shoulders to shrug and use the other curs mentioned in the video.

Oh my goodness, I’ve been struggling so much to get my chest to the bar. I thought I just wasn’t strong enough. This fixed my form and now I can can my chest to the bar. Thanks so much.

[thesplitking]

I keep my legs straight and slightly elevated in line eiyh my body as I do pull ups for this reason 😊
