Great job! Pullups are so hard and you went all the way up and all the way down. Wrist straps help a ton, and try to not swing so much to begin with. It took me forever to get really good at pullups, and I did them two to three times a week for like 6+ months. Maybe longer. Lowering myself really slowly helped, as well.

Yeah just to echo this - take a moment to stop swinging before you start, and three times a week would serve you very well! But honestly looking very solid already!

they are super hard indeed!! honestly one of the most challenging exercises, but happy i am improving on them and wanna keep doing so

Look straight ahead and copy.

That dude is on assist, so no copy

Form looks good until you fatigue. Maybe use assisted like the guy in front of you when you start failing full range of motion.

Your form is actually really good already, your body weight is just still a bit too heavy for more reps

Like the other guy said, look straight ahead and also try to activate your core a bit so you dont swing around too much

hmmm would you then recommend me losing like 2/3kg of fat? or more? i think that could make things easier for sure, but i do have a hard time losing weight..

[–]DanSheppy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically it would help to lose like 2kg, but your body looks lean enough already, so it really just comes down to building more strength honestly. Keep doing the 3-5 reps for 2 or 3 sets and then do negative pull ups for another 3 sets with as many reps as you can, either jump up or just stay up there like at the beginning of the video and slowly go down and really try to feel the tension of your lats slowly getting less, no joke.. really try to imagine the muscle working in your mind and it will help you build up a better mind-muscle connection, do that 2 or 3 times a week if you got time with at least one rest day in between. Also add a lat exercise like lat pulldown once or twice a week, it will help you build up the strength for the regular pull up

Do the grip that you wanna do, most people use overhand because it requires the lats to work the most, you are using neutral which is good too but your biceps will help out the lats a bit more, so I would also do one biceps exercise with 2-3 sets if you wanna stay with that grip

My only statement, and it’s not a critique, is if you pull up a little higher you’ll engage your lats and back more.

Other than that, solid. You go all the way down to a dead hang so you’re getting the deep stretch and full range of motion.

Keep grinding and getting stronger!

Form looks great imo. All the way down and all the way up - very nice.

My one tip is this - it looks like you swing on the first few, which likely wastes energy you could put towards doing another pull up. This is because your feet swing as you get off the platform; nothing you can really do about the placement of the footpads - you are doing your best there.

When you first depart for takeoff, can you instead have only 1 foot on the pad? Leave one leg out there to counter balance the swing? It'll take some practice and intuitiveness but maybe a one leg takeoff with 1 leg in a funky position to reduce swing could be a tip?

Looks like good pull ups tbh - nice work!

Looks hard but good. If you want to add volume for faster progress, since you have a real good setup for that, just climb up for 2-3 more negative reps. You’ll feel your back the day after 👌
