- Well, hi there folks.
I'm Bob Schrupp, physical therapist.
- Brad Heineck, physical therapist
- Together we are the most famous physical therapists
on the internet.
- In our opinion, of course, Bob.
- So pull-ups, this should be Brad speaking.
Do you want to say it?
- Yeah. Pull-ups.
I hated them until I started them doing like this.
That's the title, but seriously,
I stopped doing pull-ups.
- I remember that.
You weren't even doing pull-ups when we started this.
- Yeah, just out of high school.
I never liked 'em.
There was a number of reasons I'll get into,
but at age 57 I started doing them again
with something that changed my whole aspect about it.
And now I do 'em regularly
and I've started at three
and within a few weeks I can do 10 now.
- Oh, nice.
- And I don't know if I'm gonna shoot for any more or not.
- That's impressive.
- Yeah, it's been a big a revolution in my life.
- Yeah, when you get to a certain point
you really don't need to go up any higher.
Unless you get...
- I thought you're gonna say a certain age.
- Well that too - That too. (laughing)

- We got interviews with doctors with a lot of
quite influential names. Yes. - Yeah, notable people.
I don't know why they're talking to us.
(Brad laughing)
- So this mattress has 700 individual mattresses.
Very comfortable.
I would call this the pain mattress,
because it doesn't give you pain,
It takes away pain.
- And it allows you to sleep.
And Bob and I have experience with this,
we're extremely happy with ours after what?
Three or four years now.
Yeah, let's get it out of the way for now though, Bob.
- All right.
- (grunting) There we go.
- Okay.
(all laughing)
- All right.
So, you know, we're talking about pull-ups.
I'm talking about pull-ups,
my personal experience.
Again, I haven't done 'em for 35 years or better,
but I realized the benefits of 'em.
- Yup.
- You're good for-
- A great body-weight exercise.
- Exactly. And the nice thing about, you know,
arms, shoulders, biceps, a number of major muscle groups.
- Really works on your grip.
- Oh, as well.
Really from here to here and into those lats.
So you get that V shape.
- Oh, it's also your core, Brad.
You gotta have strong core to do pull-ups.
- Right.
But Bob, this is what the big deal was.
First of all, I never really liked them before,
but they were okay.
- Sure.
- But then at my house.
I wanted to do them at home because it's convenient.
- Right.
- And I look into it and I come up with these things,
Which, I guess it's a good idea
but it goes into your door
and it goes onto your trim your door.
And I'm not gonna put this in my house.
It gets in the way.
You take it out.
It's gonna scratch my trim.
I am not going to be a happy camper.
- The trim could let loose too.
- And that's a possibility.
- I mean I would make sure your trim
is nailed on really well before you...
- Yeah. Yeah.
So anyways, I did not like that idea at all.
Wasn't gonna happen,
plus it gave me excuse not to do 'em
but then, also, that straight bar pull up?
- Yup.
- You pull on it
and it always felt like
I was kinda locking myself in,
when I did try 'em.
- Well you think about it.
You're at the end range,
almost end range of pronation.
And this is supination, this is pronation
and you're almost at end range.
The body doesn't like to be at end range.
(Brad laughing)
What are you laughing at?
- Well, just get on with it, Bob.
I'm anxious.
- Oh, go ahead.
- No, so you're saying it's not a natural thing.
- Right.
- Which relates to the next point.
When I hated it.
I didn't do pushups for years either.
- Sure.
- I didn't really, I did hate 'em,
but not the same way.
but I found these things through our channel.
- Sure, "The Perfect Push Up."
- We've got these.
And so when you do push-ups like this.
I'll do them here, so you can see it,
your hands freely move.
And my wrist could be more in a neutral position
which made a big difference with my pushups.
And now I do 'em regularly.
Matter of fact, I'm up to 45.
- What were you just sitting around?
Not doing anything for a couple of years or longer?
- I wasn't, I was not doing any pushups.
So these allow me to do pushups without any pain.
I now like to do 'em.
- So how do you do pull-ups now?
- Well, I'm thinking,
I don't like the big thing
that you bolt on the ceiling or the wall.
I don't like that,
but I want to have maybe the same concept.
And so we found or actually, I made these,
I invented these. - You, you made these.
That is very, very clever
and this is a really neat device.
- So people are saying,
"What the heck you got there?"
- Yeah. What are these?
- So, come over this way, I'll show you.
- Can you reach that?
- Well, yeah, I can.
So, we use the wall anchor
which we've been selling for what?
Three or four years now.
- Yeah.
- We sold a lot of 'em.
But you bolt these wall anchors into a wooden stud.
- Yes.
- And they're capable of holding over 700 pounds.
We measured that.
So you go like this very easily put 'em on.
Now we've tested these.
And we've had over 400 pounds on one of these.
- Sure.
- We rate 'em at 300 pound, people,
'cause we want to be safe.
- Now, oh, were you gonna say.
- I was just gonna show that these bands,
you know the reason we made these originally
was for the use of bands.
- Exactly.
- And you can put the band on there in a variety of ways.
- Right.
- so that it won't slide.
And it's just really a great device.
- It is.
It's a simple thing.
And then we found out we could modify-
- Make pull ups.
- Right.
- You can do pull-ups along with it.
- If you look at this system,
my wrist can freely rotate.
And it's like, "Oh, that's kinda neat."
So I'm going to demonstrate a few of them.
Now. Look it. I really like this now.
Two.
And when I first started these,
I could only do three, max.
And the other thing about pull-ups is
if you're using the bar hanging, what happens?
You start swinging.
- Yes.
- When you get the more tired
you're trying to compensate.
- Kipping. They call that.
- Oh is that kipping?
- Yeah. - Really?
Well if they want to swing.
I think so. - Oh, sure.
But it's really not,
you know, now I slide my legs against the wall.
- That keeps you honest.
- It keeps me straight, really good form.
And it kind of forces that good form.
Or you can do it this way
or I can just keep them straight like this.
That already hurts my elbow.
- Yup.
- If I go like this, that feels better.
- More neutral.
- Yeah.
Or just the oo (trilling sound) the pull-up.
This is the pull.
Pull up, chin up.
- No this is, the chin-up is this way.
- Oh it's the chin-up. Sorry.
- This is the chin. This is a pull-up.
- Right.
Now the other thing you can do,
studs in houses in America typically are 16 inches apart.
Or if it's a non-weight bearing wall maybe 24 inches.
So you may have a little bit wider,
but if you happen to have 16 inches
that gives you an extra option.
Bob, you want to show them on that one?
- Sure. So what I like about this by the way
is I keep these in my office.
So this is not that evident.
And then I can just go ahead and put it in place.
And I got a pull-up bar
and what I have found for me that works out really good.
Is I do these throughout the day, Brad.
So just, where are you?
Did Brad leave?
- [Brad] No, I'm here.
Just keep talking, Bob.
- Anyway, I do it throughout the day.
So I'll just rip off like four or five
and I'll do it like every hour.
And it makes a huge difference in in developing your core.
- [Brad] Are you making this up, Bob?
- No, I'm not at all.
- [Brad] Well, you just read a book by that Russian.
- Yeah Pavel.
- [Brad] And he's talking about
that's a good way to strengthen yourself.
- Yup.
- Look at that. You're actually-
- Training the neurons.
- This man is 60 years old.
(Bob laughing)
How many 60 year olds could even do one.
That's incredible.
You're the master.
- Yeah. (laughing) but it's really nice.
It's so convenient.
- You can just take them off
and put them in your closet.
But wait, Bob, there's more.
- There's more. (laughing)
- Yeah, so many times you get a treadmill
and you're walking on the treadmill.
You use it for a month or two,
you get sick of it.
And what do you do?
You hang your clothes on it.
- Right.
- It looks terrible.
If you happen to not like these after awhile,
look at this.
(Bob laughing)
You can very conveniently hang your things on it.
So you've got two in one.
Now actually, you know, if you've got a small apartment
and you're doing these and you have company come over
in the winter time with coats.
- Yeah you can put their coats on it.
- You have another coat rack.
- Well the other thing, Brad,
that I was to say, is actually,
you can, even if you don't even want to do pull-ups.
- The hanging.
- You can do hanging.
- I do hang like this as a matter of fact, every morning.
- Good for the shoulder.
Also a little bit of traction on the back.
So you can actually get a double benefit out of it.
- Exactly.
- There we go, Brad.
Who wouldn't want to do one of those things?
- Yeah, multi-purpose.
- We're really good sales people aren't we?
Remember Brad and I can fix just about anything.
- Except for...
- A broken heart.
- And I'm pretty sure there's nothing else
like that out there.
- I agree.
- I have not seen anything.
- I agree.
- So if you have a question about your relationship,
don't ask us.
- Yeah. But we'll give it a go,
but don't depend, don't count on anything.
- We'll make something up.
- Yeah. They're done.
- Thanks.
