Increase Pullup Strength –
Do you struggle with the PULL UP exercise? Do you feel as if your inability to do pullups is costing you in your pursuit of building a bigger back fast? If you do have a hard time with pull ups and perhaps even decided to stop doing them altogether, then you are right. You are greatly limiting your ability to build a big back. But that’s where AthLEAN-X comes in and shows you that you don’t have to settle for less.
The Pull up has been called the upper body squat. The reason for this is that it is perhaps the greatest weapon you have in your training arsenal for building a muscular upper body…including your biceps, forearms and back. The problem is that most guys that struggle with the pullup will just ditch it all together and instead stick with just lat pulldowns and rows.
However, that said, ignoring this critical exercise will greatly limit the size you can put on. The AthLEAN-X Training System, with it’s unique twists on exercise shows you how you can not only start doing this exercise right away, but more importantly, start building the necessary strength that will allow you to start cranking out sets of 10, 12, 15 or even 20 of this once difficult exercise on your way to all new growth.
The AthLEAN-X Training System is the creation of celebrity fitness trainer and former Major League Baseball Head Physical Therapist and Strength Coach Jeff Cavaliere. Jeff, also a Men’s Fitness Magazine writer, is one of the most sought after trainers in the world and his unique methods and system for building muscle is rivaled by none.

VERY SNAZZY MUSIC MATE!!! I LIKE THAT STRONG ELECTRIC GUITAR VIBE!!
Awesome Video!!!
Check my page i just made a Pull UP Video!!!
show off
what about in school? that wouldnt work for the olimpics. so how do you do better ones
where can i buy a blue band like u used in the video
@derekchrs when you do these pullups regularly you will eventually build up the strength to do normal ones without the band 🙂
where we can find those streghts band ??? if someone could tell me i´ll apreciated PLISs !!!!
0:24 = one hand chin up, not a one arm pull up.
Chin Up = palm facing you, Pull Up = palm away from you.
One ARM pull/chin up = One arm pulling, other isn't doing anything
One HAND pull/chin up = using the other hand to pull by holding your arm or wrist .. effectively doubles the required grip strength and works your back muscles unevenly.
Thanks for the great video, been working on pull-ups at home for a while and think the jump stretch band is exactly what I need
or you could just put one leg on a chair and do pullups that way
where can you buy those bands
wait so if my gym did have an assisted pull up machine, could I just use that for my lats?
Depending on height, some might need a shorter or longer band though. And if your gym does have an assisted machine, it is the same as using the band. You are still building strength to do a pull up. The shorter the band, the greater the resistance, that can help assist you.
Now where am i supose to get a band from ^_-
We find Jeff in his natural state before he realises the camera is there….
How often can I practice pull-ups with the band? Every other day?
Hi. I live in Serbia. I saw you're video and i just wanted to ask you one question. I searched all over Belgrade to find that simple jump stretch band, but they don't have that here, they only have bands that have ends (don't form a circle like yours), they also have different colors (red, yellow, blue, and green are for easier weights and gray and black are for bigger weights. My question is will the band with ends do the job if i tie a knot with the two sides to form a circle. Thanks 🙂
what kind of machine do u have it's great. I want to get one like it cuz i want something i can do bench/incline bench press with it and pull ups. My only question is what's it called?
and great video i will try it eventhough i liked the one with the bench press to just take the bench out and do variety of pull ups with the bar
Don't you have to pull up until your chin is above the bar?
+boysquad321 he can´t, the ceiling wont let him
The way that worked best for me was to buy a pull up bar that goes in your doorway and just go for it. I watch certain how to do pull ups to learn correct form and fucking went for it. 1 month later I am doing 7wide arm pull ups 8 on a good day.
where do you buy these bands ?
Jeff, have you dedicated yourself to progressing on a one arm pull up?
Can you do 1 arm chin ups now?
Dope intro btw!
Is it considered hard to do a one handed chin up when you hold your arm with your other hand is it a true one handed chin up or assisted would really like to know this if anyone can help thank you
AthleanX evolved a lot ,always good content though
