How to Pull Up Row (BIG Back Gains!)
Спорт
If you want a thicker, fuller back, then pull up rows are a must-have in your calisthenics workout routine!
The pull up row primarily targets your trapezius muscles, but it also works your lats, core and biceps, so it's a brilliant compound movement for building muscle in your upper body in general.
Aside from Australian pull ups, there aren't that many "row-based" calisthenics exercises. Rowing movements are essential for a thicker, bigger back, so the pull up row is a great calisthenics skill to learn if you want to build some serious back muscles.
It's also a great way to build up the strength for more advanced calisthenics skills like the front lever because it trains the same muscles involved in the front lever.
This is actually one of my favourite calisthenics back exercises, so I wanted to share it with you so that you too can learn it and reap the benefits of this awesome skill!

A wonderful video and a wonderful exercise; thank you for your help. It's amazing that this exercise is so neglected among more prominent calisthenics trainers. I remember Alphadestiny saying that those training themselves only with calisthenics have poorer rhomboid development; this solves the problem. It's also wonderful for your arms; this exercise should get more recognition than it has now. It should be on the same level as pull-ups and chin-ups in that respect.

@@ssheikh3598 no, it only works your forehead muscles with a supinated grip. Lats can only be activated with a pronated grip, otherwise you violently explode into a pink mist. Alright, I'm done with the jokes, now go open an Anatomy book and study the musculoskeletal physics section for 10 minutes so you don't ask people the equivalent of "would gravity still work if I spin in a circle singing 'Mary Had A Little Lamb'"
I've been doing this one for months, this exercise is no joke man, I love it What's interesting is that I took a huge break from rowing motions like these to focus on basic pull ups and it helped a ton. Always stick to the basics
hey Ashton, the way you showed how to get into the inverted L-sit position really helped me today to do upside down deadlifts for reps - thanks! useful vid!

Thanks for the great video! Could you share your current rep/set scheme for these?

Just subbed, I love your content! What is the difference between doing these and advance tuck front lever rows? Are they essentially the same thing?

Thanks man! Advanced tuck FL rows work the same muscles - they're just a harder variation. Pull up rows are the easier variation
Hey Ashton, try using a false grip or an over grip and u will be able to pull the bar all the way to your stomach for a better range of motion

Hey Ashton, I'm having no trouble elevating legs on the same side of the bar as where my upper body is, but I'm having a tough time getting it elevated on the other side. Essentially, I'm doing a tucked front lever except for the fact that I'm raising my legs up. Do you have any tips and/ or explanation for why getting my legs up on the other side of the bar( as you did in the video) is harder. Anyways, this is a great and detailed video ; I couldn't find any other tutorial for this exercise so thankyou!!

I think I already answered this on Instagram, right? But if I didn't, I'd recommend strengthening your pull ups, australian pull ups, leg raises, toe-to-bar raises, and tucked front lever :D Good luck!
Checked this video yesterday and inmediately went to the park to test them. I failed misserably. I greatly underestimated how hard they are (at least for me). I have a long way before I'm able to do sets for reps.

does this exercise help with being able to do more and cleaner pullups?
I can already do 6 toes to bar in a row and I can hold the position but cant pull up from there although I can do 7 L sit pull ups in a row I cant do one pull up row ☹️.Could you give me any advice please
I'm a small scrawny guy, whenever I try to get in position, I swing back and forth too much. How can i stop swinging? I'm also a beginner so I should probably start with regressed exercises.
I can do tuck lever rows for 8 reps on parallel bars but I struggle with 2 reps on this variation. Balancing is so difficult on this one.

One thing that can help is strengthening the core, as the pull up row also requires a good deal of core strength. Other than that, just keep practising :D
Does horizontal pulling got any kind of carryover to vertical ones like the One arm chin up/One arm pull up i think as the exercise as front lever rows
@AshtonFitness

It does have some carryover, yes. You're still strengthening the same muscles involved in vertical pulling, so there will be some carryover. Hope that helps!

Nvm, at first I thought it was just because I was using the pull up bar you hang on the door frame at home, but I went back to doing l sit pull ups and working out my core now I can do it. This vid helped a lot though thank you!
I don't see how this is mainly targeting mid back when you and basically everyone else does these with protracted scaps and gets barely any scapular retraction on these
For some reason I struggle with regular vertical pull ups but can bust these out effortlessly idk it's weird but the much easier form Me lol
