In this video Daniel Vadnal presenting for FitnessFAQs will teach you the best exercise for stronger pullups. Daniel will also talk about the mistakes people make which hold them back.
The exercise is called the scapula pull or sometimes called scap pull. This exercise is great for beginners to improve their pullup by teaching correct scapula stability and mechanics.
Those struggling with progression of their pullup or are having difficulty with pull up or chin up form will love this exercise. This movement should be a staple in your workout program.
For those involved in crossfit and doing kipping pullups, this exercise is vital for shoulder health and optimising your performance.
Those looking to work towards the one arm pull up or one arm chin up should definitely be working on their scap pull

Good God! This guy has a better physique than 95% of the fitness youtubers out there. . Outstanding muscle separation and control. I really need to shift my routine into more calisthenics.
-
His voice is literally so much soothing and calms your mind
-
Great instruction. You’re so clear and practical. I have heard about scap pulls before, but never so thoroughly. Thank you.
-
I love how thorough you explain the dos and don’ts of scap pulls. I will be adding this to my training. I am definitely guilty of moving too quickly through the movement. Thank you for keeping me honest. What I love about calisthenics is how “present” you have to be in each movement to be effective— none of this focusing on what’s for dinner or work tomorrow— there’s only the current movement and the current movement only. Thank you for introducing me to this!
-
So much respect how you emphasized focus on form and range of motion!
-
Needs a double thumbs up button
-
Daniel's "common mistakes" moves still looks better and are probably more effective than what most people do.
-
Truly excellent tutorial Daniel. 10/10. These are hugely under-rated, and poorly done everywhere. They respond extremely well to being weighted, too, as I'm sure you know.
-
Underrated exercise. Before pull up, bench press and Over Head Press, people should do it.
-
I see you're using a brand new camera? The quality of the video is very clear
-
Daniel has an incredible physique man. Been having it for years, much respect to him
-
Finally starting to implement those right now as I've identified my scapula retraction as one of the weak links in my overall body tension and in exercises like planche leans, tucked front levers and of course pull ups. I'm hoping to improve my back control a bunch with this over the next couple months!

I'm 67 years and 8-months old, and I can do over 30 pull-ups. I recommend using Vladimir Zatsiorsky's Repeated Effort Method for Olympic Athletes and apply it to pull-up training. Zatsiorsky wrote the classic text, SCIENCE AND PRACTICE OF STRENGTH TRAINING, which you can buy new or used on Amazon. According to Zatsiorsky, any motor unit (i.e., muscle cell) that is not trained is untrained. Also, any muscle motor unit that is used in exercise, but not FATIGUED, is also not trained. Thus, the goal should be to fatigue as many motor units, or muscle cells, in a set as possible. This requires going to failure. I recommend using the Bulgarian Long Rest Strength Training Method mentioned by Zatsiorsky-- that is, taking a 30-minute rest interval.

Probably the best video on scalp pull-up.
-
I recommend isolation exercises as well, like incline dumbbell curls for biceps. It helps for the last part of chin ups.
-
Who are these people that give thumb downs to your videos?
-
Most thorough vid on scap pullups I've ever seen on youtube.
-
Great video as always. It always amazes me that people find it within them to Dislike videos that are clearly magnificent. Yes, every opinion is subjective. But we all know the types of people these are. Keep up the great work and thank you.
