Great explanation on both points. It’s always interesting to see how different techniques create different muscle activation and how the pros and cons work out for them individually

I appreciate this video! I was making my pull progression harder then it needed to be, not to round the shoulders whilst also trying to keep the hollow body. Now I know, I can choose, both are useful.

As a guy just getting into calisthenics and working out in general, its really helpful to prevent any mistakes further on. Glad i subscribed to this channel!

Thanks for explaining. I always did the hollow body version as I thought this is the only proper version. My lats are very well developed but upper back could be a lot better. Now I know what to do in order to change that. Cheers

Thanks so much for this video, I am new to pull ups and have been doing the hollow body and thought I was doing pull ups wrong. It's pretty clear the pros and cons of each one now thanks to you.

This is my EXACT problem with pull ups for years now. Thanks for addressing it in such detail. I can pull 12-13 max for a set (pre-covid), but I can't quite get myself to the top with arched back, so bad that I thought it might be a mobility problem.

@@naiyo87 my answer to that would be "sort of, but not really". I have enough strength to pull to my collarbone or possible 1 inch below that while imitating the arched back, but never quite to the chest. Personally I think it's probably a Rhomboid or Lats problem as I link my own problem towards the ability to perform that last squeeze, if you know what I mean. I would love to implement horizontal pull exercises as that balances out the back better anyway, but I only get access to a bar. You can certainly do better than me if you include horizontal exercises.

Thank you!! This explains why I never felt my back fatigue when doing pull ups, but rather my chest was very engaged.

Great video short, factual, and to the point. It took me a while to realize I was hallowing my pull-ups, I noticed I wasn’t getting the development in my mid and upper back I expected and have since started arching. Great work out!

You guys are the best! You talk about things everyone is either afraid to, or not sure about. It's so relevant, but not talked about. If you train pull ups in the gym with the arched back, people will try and correct you and tell you to do it the hollow body way. They don't know it's intentional muscle control, they just think it is a lack of body posture awareness or something, not realizing the benefits of changing it up. BTW, I purchased your program and I love it so far. Even though I'm closer to the intermediate level (for ex. I can perform straddle planche with good form) I started the program from Beginner and have actually found it challenging and enjoyable. Thank you guys so much, keep the videos coming!

I just mix my grip in between sets: standard, close, wide. This hits all of the muscle groups I want, and I do these in between rest sets for squats. I love pull-ups, and as the video stated they are great for all fitness levels.

It is a problem biomechanically i'd say. The reason people do pull ups like this is because they're compensating for a lack of strength/mobility. It's important to be aware of these things so they can be actively corrected.

There is nothing wrong with a hollow-body pull-up. That is how I perform all of my pull-ups, and like you mentioned, it develops strength and skill for all the advanced variations you mentioned (such as L-sit pull-ups, rope climbs, and muscle ups). It’s also perfectly safe for your shoulders. Exercise isn’t completely about training specific muscle groups.
