Hey Al, I have a question.At the time of this video you were at 18 Dead Hang Pull-ups, but I’m wondering, how many Pull-ups would you have been able to do with the same form as your brother did at this current time? I’m curious on how much the difference is, because in a Pull-up test, he’d still probably not get called for cheating.

Thanks! The increased ROM definitely makes this a more challenging variation. Keep training hard!

Nice. When I started weight training 8 months ago, I could barely do 3-5 wide grip pull-ups. Over the last 8 months, my back has gotten stronger but I still can only do 8-10. A friend of mine who hadn’t trained with me in months poked fun at my lack of progress. I just smirked because I know that now my form is infinitely better– doing a dead hang. You don’t mention it, but for me, when doing a dead-hang you REALLY involve a full Lat sweep. I feel so many more back muscles being utilized now versus when I was doing a “bicep hang” before.

I have many articles about pull-ups on this blog. You should be able to find everything you need by using the search feature in the upper right corner.

Hey Jeff–just start with working towards that first one and then take it from there–it's nothing to fear!

Totally terrifying. After a (unassisted) headstand, I think deadhang pull-ups are the thing I would most like to be able to do (unassisted), LOL! Forget the 20 reps; I'd settle for one! First time for everything! JDF
