http://athleanx.com 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 http://athleanx.com and start getting your athletic and lean physique today!

  • Hi Jeff,

    You did this exercise with the purple Jump Stretch band (up to 50lbs). You also did an Hamstring exercise with it. Is it the same as using the red ElastX X-treme band (45-90lbs)? Which one should we buy?

    Thanks

  • @tubenunofabio  Yes...you would require the AthLEAN X-treme Band (red) to perform this exercise. Some heavier guys might want to double up the red bands.

  • @OnOne707 highly doubt it, obviously you dont know much if you cant tell the difference. Just imagine if he was?

  • wait so if my gym did have an assisted pull up machine, could I just use that for my lats?

  • One thing I probably realize is you do steroids...

  • where can you buy those bands

  • or you could just put one leg on a chair and do pullups that way

  • Thanks for the great video, been working on pull-ups at home for a while and think the jump stretch band is exactly what I need

  • 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.

  • how much do you weigh?

  • Hey Jeff, could the assisted pullups also be done with a resistance band?

  • or you could just use a chair (one foot on a chair in front of you to take some weight off)
