#Pull Up Grip

If you’re having trouble deciding which grip to take on pull-ups, I’d generally recommend a wider grip outside shoulder width. This will help you bias the lower lats (which there aren’t a lot of movements that can do so other than a Keenan flap) while also reducing the likelihood of excessive biceps and forearms activation.

Your Pull-Ups Are Wrong! ❌ Fix Your Form in 30 Seconds Most people at the gym are doing half-reps. Here is the blueprint for the PERFECT pull-up: 1. Full Dead Hang: Start from a dead stop. 2. Scapular Depressions: Pull shoulders down before bending arms. 3. Elbow Drive: Focus on driving elbows down, not body up. 4. Chest-to-Bar: Full range of motion for max growth. 5. Strict Control: No swinging, controlled negative.

For next-level pull-ups and muscle-ups, a semi-false grip (overgrip) is very helpful. It feels unnatural at first and, for many, may feel straining on the wrist. Just as with increasing strength, you should build up to this grip gradually, by shifting your hand over little by little each week and practicing easy movements with the full over-grip, such as short-duration dead-hangs and Australian rows. But there’s one hugely important mechanical tip to make the over grip work: you should combine it with external rotation of the scapula, which, in layman’s terms, means turning your elbows inward as if you were trying to break the bar in front of your body. That takes pressure off the wrists and puts you in the most powerful pulling position. #pullups #muscleups #gripstrength #calisthenics

The Perfect Pull-Up? 🤔 Pull-ups aren’t just about chin-over-bar… they’re about how you get there. Good form = real strength. Bad form = wasted reps. ✔️ Protects shoulders & elbows ✔️ Shifts tension to lats & back (not just arms) ✔️ Builds control, not sloppy momentum 👉 Thumbs over the bar = safer joints, more lat activation, cleaner pull. 👉 Thumbs under the bar = stronger grip, more security. Both work—one’s about control, the other’s about security. 🚨 More sloppy reps = bad habits. 🔑 Fewer clean reps = long-term gains. Question for you: Do you go thumbs over for max lat control or thumbs under for grip security? Drop your answer 👇 #PullUps #TrainSmart #Calisthenics

How to do the perfect pull-up ✅ Note: legs straight is optional but I found provides a ton of stability especially if you’re someone who struggles with a lot of swinging and staying in control as you pull.

Give this one a share if you’re like me and you enjoy the non-fancy but important tips to help you NAIL Pull-Ups 😁 Hand placement is more important than we think for a few reasons: We want to grow our grip strength coz it’s NEVER easy to hold our entire bodyweight on a bar. But we also want to try to avoid injury as much as we can. It’s super common to develop elbow pain when learning pull ups, so getting your hand placement right is a big deal. Check you’re doing this right next time your practice your hangs or drills.
