The content is instructional and fitness-focused, with multiple speakers including Natalie Jill.
Hey guys. So today I want to share how I do a pull up or a chin up because I get a lot of questions about should I use bands, should I have somebody assist me, should I use weights, what do I do to learn one? I want to share that you can teach yourself using your own body weight without assistance and progress up to it. So I'm going to show you what I do. So first I start with a low bar. Now you can use a squat rack.
I like to use lever bars. I'm going to use this right here. And what I do is I start with my own body weight and I start low and I right here and it's lifting up this way. And if that's too hard, you can always start with your knees bent. And it's little lifts just like this. Simple. Now there's no magic number on this. I start with whatever is challenging for you. If it's even just working towards one.
That'S fine because it's still progressing your own body weight. But I like starting with a low squat rack. You can find something at a park or the Libra bar that I'm showing here, that's step number one. Once you've mastered that and can do several of them, then you're ready to attempt the big bar. Now don't worry, I'm going to show you how to progress it so it's super simple and not intimidating. Ready? Come with me.
Okay, so any pull up bar, you might need a bench or a stool to get up. I'm just going to climb on up the first step. Step number one is literally going to be just to hang and use your own body weight to slowly work your way up. Now just the act of working towards one going to start getting you stronger to be able to accomplish it. Once you are able to be strong.
Enough to pull yourself up into the first one, working as frequently as you can every day if possible, working towards that first one, you'll eventually be able to pull yourself totally up.
If you're struggling and you can't get there yet, what I would suggest is while you're working at it, put a bench, something in front of you to rest your legs on. So watch this. Start here, put my leg here, just like that. So I'm working towards this here. Then working down until you can master just like that. But it's a progression using your own body weight. So even just hanging, holding, working towards that first one and progressing towards that.
Before you know it you'll be able.
To do a lot of them.
