Pull-ups are a full body exercise When performed correctly everything from your grip, arms, shoulders, lats, core, glutes and quads should be active There’s no reason to rush them Focus on full control throughout the whole movement to maximise your results

Grow those wings and fly into #FursuitFriday Your lats have insertions in your arms and engage when you lower your shoulders. If you don’t feel your lats engage during lat pulldowns then be sure to pull your shoulders back and down to fire them up 🔥 💪 #fursuit #fitness

I’ll be telling people all 2026… It is of NO BENEFIT to your Lats to let your Shoulders rise when doing Pull-Downs or Pull-Ups Instead, keep your scapula depressed and refrain from overextending at the top of your reps GAME CHANGER for Lat gains

Make pull ups a primary exercise. Train all sets to failure and vary your grip every workout to hit different angles. When I started I could only do 1 rep per set so I did 50 sets of 1 rep until my body adapted. Today my typical session looks like 12, 10, 8, 8, 6, 6 reps for 50 total. A few notes for elite form: > Keep your entire core tight through every rep up and down. > Feel your lats pulling on your abs on the way up. > Exhale on exertion and inhale on the descent. Mix in negatives occasionally for controlled slow descents that build serious strength. The pull up builds a thick back, v-taper, grip, core and delts all in one movement. A hard body demands pull ups.

You’re Not Using the Hack Machine Properly Turn it into a complete lower-body builder. Reverse squats fire up glutes and hamstrings, knees-forward hack squats focus on quads, good mornings train the posterior chain, and heel-driven step-ups target the glutes. Max out your lower-body results

The most underrated exercise on the planet is the Bar Hang. But 99% of people don't even do them. Here are 4 powerful reasons to do bar hangs every day: 1. They improve your posture Don't want to look like a croissant? Bar hangs help strengthen & mobilize your upper body. They also provide a constant stretch on the shoulders, back arms & lats. This helps reverse upper body posture defects that come from sitting for too long. 2. They improve your strength Your weight is supported first by the grip of your hand. A good grip improves your performance across all exercises like the pull-up, rows, deadlifts...pretty much any activity requiring a grip. 3. They build stronger shoulders Bar hangs can improve mobility, and strengthen the shoulders & lats while reducing shoulder pain. They stretch the brachial muscles while strengthening the supraspinatus tendon, which is responsible for shoulder strength & endurance. 4. They may help you live longer Grip strength can be a biomarker for your inner age & determines your mobility & strength as you get older. In some studies, decreased grip strength is associated with accelerated biological age. There are 2 ways to do bar hangs: The first is a passive hang (video) Take an overhand grip. Let shoulders & lats relax. Your body should sink with your shoulders touching your ears. Hang there with feet slightly forward, core braced & let your weight passively stretch your shoulders, lats, & back. The second is an active hang. Start in a passive hang. Retract your shoulder blades down and away from your ears. Stop retracting when your ears reach your elbows. Hold for as long as you can. This puts more emphasis on the muscles in your shoulders and back. If you're a beginner aim for 10 seconds to start. Work your way up to one minute and eventually 2 minutes at a time. As long as you're not sore you can do these daily. If you can't hang from a bar you can step on a box at first to help support your weight. Another way is to attach a resistance band to the bar putting while putting your feet on it. Bar hangs are one of the most underrated exercises on the planet especially if you work at a desk. Add these to your daily workouts and experience the benefits.

4. Ab wheel The king of core exercises: • Start on your knees with the wheel under your shoulders • Brace your core and squeeze your butt • Roll forward only as far as you can control • Pull yourself back using your abs, not arms The goal is to get to do it on your feet.

This exercise should be mandatory for people who sit at desks. It's called the Band Pull Apart. When you sit for long periods the back muscles tend to round and weaken. One of the best exercises you can do to strengthen your upper back is the Band Pull Apart. It develops the muscles in the mid to upper back. Over time this can improve posture and create a more stable body. How to do The Band Pull Apart: 1. With an underhand or overhand grip, hold a band at shoulder height and slightly wider than shoulder width apart. 2. Stand with a tall posture while maintaining a neutral head and neck position. 3, Rotate your shoulders outward to engage your lats and upper back. 5. Squeeze your upper back and posterior deltoids and begin to pull the band apart. Your shoulder blades should begin to retract as your arms begin to move backward. 6. When your upper arms are in line with your back, squeeze your upper back muscles and posterior deltoids. Pause at the bottom of the movement. 7. Allow your shoulder blades to protract and your arms to return to the starting position. Use a light band. Aim to do 15 to 20 reps for 1-3 sets. Do this 3x a week. Your back and shoulders will thank you. If you like posts like these follow me Dan Go for more!

This 5 minute lower back drill will change your life: 1. Bridge holds activate your glutes. 2. McGill crunch activates your core. 3. Cat cows keep your spine mobile. 4. Side plank holds activate your glutes & obliques. 5. Bird dogs activate your core & glutes while promoting cross body awareness. When you do each core exercise make sure to "brace" your abs by pushing them out as if Mike Tyson were to punch them. When you do an exercise involving your glute make sure to squeeze the glute as if you're trying to crush a quarter in between your butt cheeks. Do 6 reps of each exercise daily. Your lower back will thank you.
