I see a lot of exercises done incorrectly in the gym. When I see people do pullups (which is rare enough as is) I often see them done with poor form. Among the two biggest issues I see with them are low range of motion and kicking with the legs to get the movement. It’s a terrible thing because pullups/chinups are one of the best exercises you can do for building a big, strong back. Next time you are in the gym, look around and see how many guys are doing real pullups versus how many are doing crappy lat pulldowns (also with terrible form!).
I like to tell guys (only part jokingly) that if you can’t do at least 5 pullups with your own bodyweight using good form then you have no business devoting an entire day to “arms”. Just a thought.
Below is a quick video from Joe showing you how to do proper chinups/pullups in 30 seconds. It’s worth watching.
