- What's up elite Thenx athletes.
It's Chris Heria.
Welcome to another video of official Thenx.
Today I'm gonna show you guys 25 different pull variations.
(upbeat music)
All right guys so let's get started.
So today I'm gonna be showing you 25 different
pull-up variations to master your pull-up.
'Cause we all know if you master the pull-up game,
you master the muscle-up game.
Now before we get into that,
I wanna talk about the benefits of pull-ups.
Now with pull-ups you really can't go wrong.
You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Pull-ups is a calisthenics fundamental
compound movement that engages your back,
your bicep, your core, lats and delts,
so as you can see this is a major role
when it comes to calisthenics training.
Now when you're training you're basically doing
one of two things; either pulling or pushing.
And normally pulling is a lot harder than it is for pushing.
That is why you can never go wrong for training pulling.
Increasing your pulling strength is gonna balance out your
antagonist muscles which is gonna give you an overall
better strength, and it's also gonna help
prevent further from injuries.
That's normally why a lot of people get injured
in the first place when they're training.
For example you can have a really strong frontal delt
but a really weak rear delt and as you try to progressively
overload and put more and more weight,
you might be able to handle it on the front of your delt,
but your rear delt can't and that's
gonna lead you to more injuries.
So you always wanna make sure to be training
antagonist muscles; the opposing muscle group for
the muscle groups that you normally engage.
Pulling, pushing, they should be equally as strong
and that's gonna give you your optimal, maximum strength.
Resulting in heavier lifts and allowing
you to progress further on to better
and stronger skills without causing injuries.
Not to mention that doing a lot of pull-ups is gonna have
you looking sick with your physique because doing pull-ups
works a lot of your back and your lats
and those are the main muscles that gives you
that actual V shape, that big upper body look.
But as great as pull-ups are if you're only doing the basic
pull-up, you're only utilizing one dimensional plane
and as I said in the last video,
to maximize your strength and progress you need
to be utilizing all dimensional planes.
Which means to master your pull-up game
you can't just stick to basic pull-ups.
That's gonna only take you so far.
You need to be doing as many different
style pull-ups as possible in as many
different positions and angles as possible,
which you're gonna learn right now
in these 25 different pull-ups.
And after these exercises I want you to choose 10
of them and do five reps each, right after this video.
And then I want you to start incorporating them
into your workout routine because the next Thenx video,
we're gonna have a challenge for you guys.
All right, so let's get started.
