Double Your Pull Ups TOMORROW | Trevor Bachmeyer | Smashwerx

THESE 5 HACKS WILL DOUBLE YOUR PULL UPS.
.
Pull ups are largely a product of technique and when the technique fails, your pull ups become almost impossible.
.
Here’s a blanket statement and challenge for you guys, I KNOW you’ll be able to do one chest to bar if you follow these five hacks to the letter. And...the challenge is, try it, do one, and send me the video, and I’ll post YOU!
.
❌Question 1 - how is your body on the bar? Rigid or loose? If you’re loose anywhere in your kinetic chain, you’ll hemorrhage horsepower that should be going into the bar.
1️⃣HACK 1 - Systemic Rigidity sequence - hang from the bar, then, squeeze your butt, tuck into posterior tilt, lock out your legs, point your toes.
.
❌Question 2 - what is your grip doing on the bar? Thumbs around or over? Narrow or wide? Pull apart or squeezing together? A narrow group recruits the brachioradialis which isn’t designed to lift your body weight. Pull apart the bar reduces available power by actively turning off muscle.
2️⃣HACK 2 - your hands must be a thumb width wider than your shoulders, squeeze the bar with your grip, try to squeeze the bar ‘together.’
.
❌ Question 3 - where do your elbows point? If they point to your hips, your forcing the joint into a compromised position, and losing power.
3️⃣HACK 3 - place your arms out in the scapula plane, keep your elbows in that orientation throughout the entire pull up.
.
❌Question 4 - what does the top of your pull up look like? Your chin doesn’t help you get a pull up.
4️⃣HACK 4 - use your chest as a target, that is what you’re trying to touch to the bar, pull your T spine into extension.
.
❌Question 5 - are you going into a dead hang for your pull up? If so, you’re placing it in the most compromising position.
5️⃣HACK 5 - keep your shoulders away from your ears, flex the biceps and triceps at the bottom while the elbows are locked out.
.
Go get some pull ups!!

    Great advice. If you are a beginner, this could definitely double your pullups. If your advanced, you might get 1 or 2 more reps. That doesn't sound like a lot but believe me, when you're doing 30+ strict pullups, it can take weeks or months just to add 1 or 2 reps. So this video is gold.

    The tip about not unloading at the bottom completely is of paramount importance. I went from 1 pull up to 10-12 range but injured my shoulders bc I would hang incorrectly like trevor showed. Did not understand why I was developing so much pain in my anterior shoulder til now. Makes so much sense. Thank you for making this video!

    Proper stance (can't stress this enough) pushup is the gateway to pullups. Plus its easier to learn body rigidity and form sustainment in horizontal position exercises. Pullups is the next level.

    I don't really agree with Trevor on dead hangs being bad since it's widely recommended to do them for shoulder health. Not to mention many people start out trying to do pull ups by doing scapula pull ups, which is dead hang and then depress scapula into an active hang. I'm 185lbs, not really heavy, but not lite either. I do drop down to a dead hang for most of my reps. I did get a shoulder pain from pull ups. I have a bad habit of pulling up right when I grasp the bar and I think I did some of those without first depressing the scapula to an active hang before pulling up. I usually do each rep for a set at a slow tempo, but sometimes I go at a faster tempo and I think when I do that, some of my reps I probably started pulling up as I am depressing the scapula. I have since made sure that I have depressed the scapula before pulling up and if I do a faster tempo, I just go down to an active hang. My shoulder pain is mostly gone and have returned to doing pull ups for over a week now.

    Wow, that was a super helpful video. I'm just starting to build back my pull-ups now at age 73 / 6'3" / 216 lbs. Your system is working fantastically. I'm also using it for dips. So far, real good. I'm also going to use it for push-ups using rings. Being able to see light clearly at the end of the tunnel has done wonders for my enthusiasm and self-confidence. You described beautifully the proper body positioning and kinetics for pull-ups. You're in sinct with the gymnasts I follow on KZread. My problem is that at 6'3", there are no bars high enough in any of the gyms around here to where I can actually assume that position, especially with pointed toes. This is a real problem I'm yet to solve.
