Sneaky PULL UP Trick – A Legit Way To Build A Bigger Back FAST – ATHLEAN-X™

by YouTube Team

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. Come see the AthLEAN-X Training System in action at and start getting your athletic and lean physique today!

@derekchrs when you do these pullups regularly you will eventually build up the strength to do normal ones without the band 🙂

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.

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.

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 🙂

Don't you have to pull up until your chin is above the bar?

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.
