Build Wide Lats with "Swinger Pull Ups"

[Xternal47]

Looks more like monkey/chimpanzee pull ups.. But their effective =D

[randomguy0909]

You are asking for an injury! Just do type writters!

[Pen1980IM]

I give this and weighted pull ups most credit for my back development

[winchesterX1000]

i got some funny looks when i did this in the gym lol everyone thought i was a spaz

[lash22]

he would make a great monkey lol

[AmadeusExcello]

Lee, you forgot to mention how during the swinging portion of this exercise you feel as if you're going to bust your ass. (HA!)

[AmadeusExcello]

I am already looking forward to trying this pull-up variation in the gym.

[laubeatz]

you sir, are a very very strong man :)

[Froggybeast69]

@leemhayward i cant really do any pull ups yet. any tips for building up my lats?

[baseballreg123]

LOL i fell off the first time and got some looks from others in the gym

[GREMLlN]

I do not have a pull up bar, and gym is closed for refurbishment. So ill just go out early in the morning on the monkey bars at the park XD

[intangibledc]

this guy has great genetics in his chest

[MrNickos1986]

Hey Lee with regards to the 300 workout would you only do that routine on that day or would you possibly do another routine like chest or shoulders or do you think the 300 hundred workout is enough for that day. p.s my shoulders are huge due to they front side and rear delt video i followed i have to walk out the gym side ways now lol ha ha!!

[leemhayward]

@TheBearHHH

You'll need to focus on getting stronger with pull ups first before trying this exercise. I'd suggest that you check out the "Progressive Pull Up Program" to help improve your pull up / chin up strength. It's a graduated training system that works.

[dustinrlawrence]

i'll be trying this next time i'm in the gym...looks like a good exercise. can't go wrong with pull ups.

[1goodace]

Great video demonstration of a variation of the pull up. Reminds me of the Bar Tenders group in N.Y.

[MichaelMacAdam]

i did these today and i felt watched by everyone.. i didnt like it :(

[studiobuddy]

becareful with these. you can mess up, tear or , strain somethin in your should region. just be cautious dont get sloppy and loose focus

[studiobuddy]

becareful with these you can mess somethin up around the should area if you get wreckless and sloppy

[u2bing]

Hey Lee, I wanted to get your opinion on the barbell military press. Front or behind the head? I appreciate your input. Happy holidays.

[leemhayward]

@u2bing

I press to the front of the head myself, I don't like the behind the head variation.

[MrGangstar3600]

hey lee i think you should chane the name of the program to blast your lats! or blast your back lol

[Shake99]

Just like the monkey bars that they always show those terrorist training on in that one news clip. LOL cool exercise.

[gruntdesann]

Lee how often do you do these kind of hybrid exercises? For the most part you'll just do regular weighted pull ups right? Moves like barbell curl and press are seldom performed

[leemhayward]

@gruntdesann

I also stick to the basics most of the time, but you can add variations like this in your workouts when ever you want to change things up. There's no set "rules", the hybrid moves like this still work the muscles just as hard as the standard basic moves.

[proteinboy818]

Hey lee, just wondering if that would have any consequences for the rotator cuff seeing as all the weight is on one arm?

[leemhayward]

@proteinboy818

Usually it's only pushing exercises that bother the rotator cuff, not so much pulling exercises. That's the way it is for me anyway.

[iggytan]

Going straight to the gym to do some pull ups.

[TranceRocker227]

Blame Canadaaaaa!!!!

[aasdasdasdful]

BEAST!

[shishodiadhaval]

Lee, I know that this is off topic question but can you please tell what exercise i can do but get that cut for my triceps from the elbow? I'll really appreciate it thank you

[leemhayward]

@shishodiadhaval

The key to getting cuts and definition is simply losing fat, the leaner you are the more defined you are going to look.

[shishodiadhaval]

@leemhayward thank you lee for the reply

[ShadoWGlideR1]

lol he looks like a gorilla when he does it.

[saosaosaoy]

i love this guy because he stays humble, not like those other douchebags

[zzzaaazzz55]

wow now that i saw that canada shirt i finally notice ur accent lol

[thatstheguy07]

@zzzaaazzz55 Lol not all Canadians sound quite like that ;) Hes from Newfoundland...

[hurrykaneecko]

oh man sweet deffo haveing ago at these on wednesday woo :)

[nirvgardengod]

well thats one i wont be doing,,

[Vanwyk12]

reminds me of donkey kong.

looks fun, cant wait to try.

[BigSamFoSho]

How can you dislike a video explaining you how to do an exercise? lol? Didn't like the camera angle or t-shirt??

[nomitata]

@BigSamFoSho t-shirt

[max185]

@BigSamFoSho

he talks too much. just fuckin show the exercise and explain thereafter!

[06livefast]

your cnadaian!!@!!

[schwarzwindDarken]

WOWWW !! im MOTIVATED you make it look like its fun and easy!

I know it is XD but I cant do as many yet :D

I forget about reps or the word excersise, and just do as many as I can because they are so fun!

Ive built a huge back now :D

My tips:

Make the grip bigger it will be easier, have something to look at when you do them!, facing a wall feels like being punished(you want to leave soon), look at your window, do em on a tree at the park, see the world.

make all workouts fun like that.

[airsoftsargent]

very nice imma try this out

[Player10011]

Lee, have you ever done a muscle-up?

[justinthyme48]

Great. I'm going to try this with weights on Monday!

[TheFilmBAR]

Nice Video Lee

[nik2blu]

Perfect solution if u suck at pullups... haha i like the sound of that

[124bababa]

''swinger pull ups'' ha...

[MrAshtonRenae]

Lee, you are kinky!

[mma171]

This looks like it is really tough on the shoulder joint.

[Samoyta]

@mma171 If u don't control the swinging, yes. But try a very controlled swing or even 1-arm hang for a few seconds on each side. I've had shoulder issues & this works 4 me.

[UltimateHibz]

Lee you obviously do hard weight and cardio sessions, through out the day. So how do you keep your energy levels up?

[awhodatt]

... and they say man didn't come from monkeys!

:-)

Good vid Lee.

[fitchickangie]

@awhodatt thats what i was gonna say....should be called "monkey pullups"

[pkhamidar2com]

Lee, have you ever tried sternum chinups/pullups, they are a really good advanced variation of pullups and chinups where the bar comes down to your mid to lower chest at the top. Youtube it to see what it looks like, i find this variation really usefull since it combines the rowing horzontal movement with the vertical pull movement, works loads of muscles at once and is a huge compound exercise.

[steelalx]

gymnasts carry alot of muscle ,do you recon there diets are the same as a bodybuilder

[pud22dup]

i havae just started doin pull ups again and forgot how hard they are lol will try this swinger style l8r and get baack to let u know how i get on,looks like a good streach tho

[Skyoneer2007]

workout looks Cool and loving it, but your look like a monkey the way you hang LOL

[PIECE2YOURMOTHA]

Gee. i did those on the monkey bars a school.

[Excelion333]

You should call them monkey pull ups better name.

[Scorpio3667]

Looks like a killer for your grip noneoftheless!

[Scorpio3667]

I thought around mid to later 30's.

[dda030582]

can't believe you're only 32 Lee... I thought you were in your 40s... Sorry, but I did

[Toxxic88]

@dda030582

lol 40S? damn you have no sense of aging

[soulfoodmonkey]
