Hello, everyone.
Today's topic are, or is pull-ups.
They're excellent upper body exercise,
but
there's a lot of people who are unable to do 'em
and I was one of those people
for all these years.
- But no more.
- Yeah. But no more.
Found a new way to get myself going at it.
And now I love 'em
and I'll show you that you can do the same thing.
- You got strong like bull.
- Strong like bull, Bob.
And once again, now when I feel strong like bull
who knows?
- There's a lot of bull flying.
- Yeah. The bull is flying.
We'll be there in nine seconds.

- Okay. Pull ups.
I thought of every excuse not to do pull ups.
They're bad for your shoulders,
Eh, you gotta have a bar.
I don't like to do 'em.
But I knew,
maybe it'd be a really good thing for me to do at home.
- Right.
- Bob was doin' 'em.
Chris pharmacist will do 'em.
I've got other friends
and they've got their pull up bar.
And I thought,
well, it's high time I do it.
There's talk about these east centric pull ups
to get stronger if you're not strong enough.
- You wanna show one?
- Yeah, they're a real pain in the butt.
I don't like 'em at all.
But the concept is really good.
- Right.
- But there's a lot easier way to do beginner.
- They're not fun.
- Yeah. You go up like this
and then you let yourself down
and then you go up like this
and you let yourself down
and I'm not buying it.
- Right.
- It works.
And I'm saying it probably could work really good.
But I think this option was a lot easier for me.
You get these
- [Bob] Bands. - loop bands. Yeah.
And they're actually call 'em pull-up assist bands.
And a lot of manufacturers do 'em.
- [Bob] Makes sense.
- It does make sense
but I use these for a lot of things
other than pull-ups. - [Bob] Right.
- But for pull-ups,
you gotta have your pull-up bar
and there's a few different ways to attach it.
This is probably the most,
- [Bob] Safe. - the easiest,
and the most common way to do it.
So you do that.
And I just put one knee in there.
You may be able to-
now this is too short for me.
I can't, I could put my foot in there,
into it, but Ugh!
It's just a pain in the butt.
So I just put one knee in there
and it works out really good.
And then simply,
I've got a pretty thick strap here.
There's usually four or five of these.
This is one of the heavier ones.
It's a good way to start.
And you simply, effortlessly do pull-ups.
Do 'em good.
Up above, all the way down.
- So you feel like Superman?
- Well, yeah, you can do good form.
- [Bob] Right.
- And you can do 'em properly,
and it works well.
- And then, eventually you go to a less band, right?
- [Brad] Exactly right. Yeah.
So that's a pretty heavy band.
This is the one I'm using now.
- [Bob] Right.
- And one of the reasons I use it now
is not because I can't do it without 'em.
But I got a shoulder injury.
- [Bob] Gotcha.
- And it hurts my shoulder.
So, put that through there now.
And this, so again, this is the color I'm on.
I only do 10 of 'em right now.
It's a maintenance mode.
I'm not worried about getting big and strong.
You can do this.
- Chin ups.
- The chin ups.
Works different muscles.
You get a little more bicep with this.
There.
And it is just, I am so happy with this system.
- And someday, you go to red.
- Yeah. Or, you know, and again-
- Or by yourself.
- I can do 'em this way now.
- Great.
- But that hurts my shoulder a little bit.
So I'm not going to.
I felt it right there.
So, so whether you're weak, you got a shoulder injury
or you just wanna be in a maintenance mode
and you don't wanna work really hard,
but still stay strong.
I think it's a great way to work.
- Brad yeah, actually had a good idea.
- Well say no more.
So get yourself some loops, get the pull up bar.
And you're gonna have yourself doing pull-ups
left and right.
You really can't do it left and right
'cause you gotta use both hands.
Anyways, I'm tired now, Bob.
I've got- - Very good.
- Heart rate's up.
Good luck everyone.
