you sure very strict pull up (all the way down and chest touching the bar) are bad? yes the bicep is starting the movement but the rest is the lats, the pull up is great because it incoporates different muscle groups. if you want to target the lats this exercise will do the job, but if you want to increase pull ups I would recommend on doing strict pull ups and edventually one arm pull ups (or weighted or even both. Im not positive this is what you meant since in 1: 53 you talk about doing pull ups with pause at top and bottom because I get the feeling that this video is targeted towards people who can't do a pull up yet.
btw if you want the movement that is mentioned in 2: 20 explosive pull ups can be performed this way.

I'm not overweight and I can't do 1 single pull up. I have virtually no lat muscle definition to begin with. I tried every day for 3 weeks trying to do 1 pull-up hoping I would improve and absolutely no improvement other than I have grip strength now and can hang from the bar. But I still can't do a single pull up and all these videos I see are very demotivating because they assume I can do at least 1. What exercises can I do that aren't pull ups to build my lats so I can get at least 1 rep.

At 2: 08 he mentions not going to full ROM as it disengages the lats. Is this the same on regular chin ups and overhand pulls? The lats are tough to hit. Mine are never sore after a workout. Now I'm playing around with pre-fatigue as recommend by Dorian Yates. Also some row variations

I been following you vids for a while now, and I appreciate the solid no BS information. How about a clip addressing the issues some of us seasoned people face, such as hip mobility/ range of motion issues and training with arthritis and other unpleasant conditions. Keep up the good work!

Ryan, one of the (many) reasons I stop doing what I'm doing to listen to you, is because your advise is targeted for those 'stuck at home' without the availability of traditional equipment.
Any ideas on how this can be replicated for those (like me) with no access to a pull-up bar?

-One thing I wouldn't do is use a band that has been broken in the past because I am pretty much committed to the fact that one of my testicles is going to slingshot across the room during this workout. - I spit out my coffee laughing from this. I like this guy.

Hey Ryan, can you consider making a gymnastic rings push/pull workout. Your crazy tweaks to every common exercise makes a hell of a difference. Can't wait to see the madness when you apply some of the tweaks to the rings exercises -

Ryan, what are your thoughts on keeping constant tension in the prime movers during an exercise? Also do you believe mind-muscle connection and individual muscle control improves motor unit recruitment?

Great vid! But you missed a chance for a great joke: When you said -The last thing you want is one great lat and one disappointing one. - you should have added, -. like your kids. - XD
