Do More Unbroken Pull-Ups (INSTANTLY)

When it comes to pullups, there are mistakes you are making that are keeping you from doing more than you are right now. If you want to do more pullups, you’re going to want to try what I’m showing here in the video. Once you can identify the mistake and make the necessary change, your performance on the pullups will greatly improve.

Many people position themselves directly under the bar and simply pull straight up and down. This is not correct since it creates too much looseness in the upper body, particularly the scapula. In order to create the necessary rigidity in your upper body to transfer power and strength more effectively, you need to not just think about pulling down into the bar but pushing your body back and away a bit.

What this does is creates lat engagement in much the same way that doing a straight arm pushdown would. This will immediately put the forearms and biceps into a secondary role of driving the ascent and lets the lats, the more powerful of the muscles of the upper body, get front and center to do the job. Once you’ve done this right and felt what it is supposed to feel like, you’ll never do a pullup any other way.
