If you want to do more pullups and are not getting the rep counts you want right now, this video will definitely get you to increase your pull-ups quickly. The key to increasing pullup strength is to make sure you’re giving your body the best opportunity to perform them. That starts with plugging the energy leaks throughout the kinetic chain that often times derails the strength that you already have. Start by gripping the bar with a slightly wider than shoulder width grip. This is important as it will set up subsequent tips and make sure that you are recruiting the lats to do the bulk of the work rather than shifting the load to the teres major. While the teres major may be an assistance muscle to the lats, involving it too much by using an extra wide grip is going to limit the contribution of the lats as a whole and decrease the number of pullups you can do. The next thing you want to do is grip the bar deep in your palm. This actually has less to do with the number of pull-ups that you can do and more to ensure your longevity in doing the exercise. Far too often, people will grip the bar distally in their fingers which can place a lot of stress on the medial elbow. If you ever have had golfer’s elbow or medial epicondylitis you know how disrupting it can be to performing any of your workouts. Avoid elbow pain by getting that bar deep into the palm from the start. Next, the direction of force application matters when you are trying to do more pullups. Instead of just pulling down into the bar to lift your body up, try instead to pull down and in. This will produce more adduction strength which will benefit you and your ability to pull with more force. I like to think of this as simply squeezing the bar inward or sliding my hands on the bar towards each other. Of course, they aren’t going to move at all since they are fixed on the pull up bar but the direction of force generation will be enough to elicit the effect we are looking for. Finally, one of the biggest things you can do to improve the number of pullups you can do right now is plug the energy leaks from below. The best way to do this is to concentrate on tightening your entire body when you pull up to the bar rather than allowing yourself to hang loosely. The first place you can start is by uncrossing your knees from behind you. Instead, straighten your legs out by contracting the quads and pointing the toes towards the ground. Keep the legs slightly in front of the body to make this even easier. Next, contract your abs as tight as you can in order to stabilize the core. If you do this properly, you will feel light as air and the very next pull-up you do is going to feel almost effortless compared to how it feels right now. Combine all of these pullup tips into your next set of pull-ups and I promise you will do more.
