I spent a long time training negatives and inverted rows, but I still couldn't do a single pull-up. I started practicing scapula pull-ups and assisted one-arm scapula pull-ups. This helped me understand how to "initiate" the pull-up movement. Previously, I would try to pull myself up with my shoulders protracted and my legs in a hollow body position (I felt at that time i was pulling with my arms only). But after training for scapula pull-ups, i suddenly started to arch my back a little bit, and got my first rep after two weeks of scapula pull-ups.

I just did my very first pull ups w no assist bands or support!! I am so proud of myself. Thank You MDJ!!!

I like this video format. Showing the progression from zero pull ups to pull up's. I like this type of video instead of just work out routines.
@KarenCooley
Something I have never seen discussed when being show pull up progression - the back strengthening exercises. You are the best for talking about this! Thanks for sharing which ones to do and how many times do them each week. MUCH appreciated!! 🥰
@jasmineG-c2f
Perfect timing!!! I used to do muscle ups, did up to 5 back to back at my best buy that was 6 years ago and after disability affecting me i can't even do 1 pull up. Muscle weakness is no fun 😅 this came at just the right time to add for my new years workouts
@drawwithmissroberts
I absolutely love that you explain everything so well and also explain how to set up and use the equipment properly! I feel like I’m somewhat experienced with working out but you even taught me so much, like setting up the band for assisted pull ups! I usually just force myself to do it without 😂
@jp93309
I’ve got a long ways to go but I really appreciate these tips. Very well described and shown.
@KarawithaK
I’m 44 and want to be able to do pull ups this year. I appreciate your videos
@teeyelceetlc5605
The Best video I've seen on how to master pull-ups! Thank you!
@xora_nova04
Can you please make a complete beginner full body workout in the gym? I'm starting in February and yes it's going to be my first time ever going to a gym. A beginner full body workout would be amazing!
@Danger_Kitten_30-06
I just found you (through Instagram) and I can't even tell you how excited I am! You're exactly my same weight and height and your build (including your starting physique) is just like mine!!!! You are now 100% my example and my goal.
@dama_dimples
I was today years old when I understood exactly what the weight options meant when using an assisted pull up equipment. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️. Can’t wait to get the concept right and manage some pull ups before the end of the year! I wasn’t sure which muscles actually work together to achieve pull up so that I don’t neglect them when I’m at the gym. Thanks girl!!
@TorBoy9
good summary, especially the retracted shoulders. good progressions as well.
@jlpclevas
Great video! You are adorable!!! A couple other tips that really helped me: 1) with a pronated grip, get a good hold and rotate the knuckles toward the ceiling 2) drive fhe elbows in and down and "pull" the bar toward your chest, pretending the bar is a pencil and you are trying to break it in half
@lpunktrpunkt
So well explained and helpful ❤
@hc7092
I got my first pull up last week! I’m so happy you’ve started YT and i can’t wait to try this out.
@RagnarHoff
Im 100kg heavy and started lifting 6 months ago for the first time in 2 years. Allthough i progress in pulls in general and dead hangs for grip strength, i still can't do a single pull up. Weight loss is probably the key to master it.
@user-ik8fl2xr5t
Great tips! I hope these can help me progress my pullup game
@michaelperkins739
Bent over BB rows can create too a great challenge of spinal and core stability, and the back can just become part of a movement instead of hitting the back hard as you want, inverted rows with their many variances are safer for beginners. Your Scapula are depressed when they go down, not retracted. Retracted is backwards
