In this video I talk about the importance of using paused reps to elevate your pull up performance. Paused reps are a powerful tool for improving your pull up technique and strength at the top of the pull up. By improving your strength and mechanics at the top of the pull up, you can improve your performance on weighted and regular unweighted reps. Paused reps give you an opportunity to analyze your position in the top of the pull up, correct it, get stronger there, and reap the benefits across all of your other pulling exercises.

    I can do two pullups. That's increased from zero earlier this month lol. This channel makes me excited for life, like calisthenics in general.
  • @stank9625
    Unloads better advice in a 3 min video than most "fitness" focused channels manage to produce in a years worth of content. Thanks and best wishes. Keep it up!
  • @bkdesignr
    like others have said and myself, you give clear, concise and understandable information. you have a real gift kyle, thank you brother.
  • @kramkalisthenics
    This is exactly what I needed to hear- thank you! I've been doing a long series of 1-rep-added progressive pull-up workouts (on #24 of 35). I saw these pull workouts as working on the bottom of the movement. But your video made me realize that I fail at the top! Time for a reboot!
  • @albertsmith9315
    Another neat thing to get strong at the top of the move is isometric holds at the Apex. Use a step or box, get into the final position and step off, using maximum tension to stay fixed at the top for a timed duration. You can do an exaggerated slow negative, rest and repeat. This really improved my pull up top position for regular reps.

    Weighted pull ups with pause at the top and slowly going down humbled me hard. It's like I was starting from scratch. +1 when it comes to pausing at the top and squeezing your back. Great advice!
  • @fnaust
    Congratulations for producing clear-cut, straight to the point videos. Short & sharp and very effective.
  • @jnf2211
    This was a good reminder. I’ve kind of fallen into bad habits with my pull ups lately now that I think about it. Thank you
  • @antoniograca3681
    its very good to see someone thinking like this, prioritizing mechanics and form instead of ego! Congrats!!
  • @irishmick6709
    I've been slowly moving away from rep counting and am now focusing on quality reps. This version of a pull-up with a few seconds pause at the top has me enthused again. I've also been doing pause press ups, at the top and bottom position. Thanks!
  • Perfect timing Mr Boges! I was just about to start my pulling exercises for the day! Thank you for your expertise and wisdom. :)
  • @edge6441
