This video is going out as a bonus for all the people that bought Bud’s I Will Be Iron.

And we figured we’d post it up here for our members as well. It covers some guiding principles on what it takes to achieve Super Human Performance.

This clip was filmed the day after the Super Human Training Workshop. Bud, Logan and Noah went into detail on each style of bending, overhand, underhand and reverse style, while teaching Eric Guttman how to bend. Days earlier he couldn’t move a 60D nail. By the end of this short session he bent his first one.

Pullup Critique

If you’d like your form critiqued on any exercise all you have to do is submit a video and information here at the Technique Critique section.

Hi Logan,

this is a Pullup I performed yesterday – it was the last one I did that Day. I started doing Pullups on the first of January and my goal ist to do 2012 within this month. I am a bit heavy (90 kg) thats why I am not very good an pullups and I intend to change this. Including yesterday I have done 810 so far (the daily numbers progress).
Goals:
I whant to be able to do 8-10 good reps (max. in December was 5).
I whant good technic – no kipping, deadhang etc.
I’d like to increase my pull up hight so the bar touches at the chest.

Please comment on the Video and give me advice how to best reach my goals.

Thank you, Florian

Hello Florian,

Notice how you arch your chest in the video. What I strive to do and say you should work with is pulling more in a straight line. You can’t go truly straight cause then your head would hit the bar but keep it in closer.

An advanced technique to work with is thinking about where you initiate the pull from. Think of pulling from the hands down. Think of pulling from the elbows down. Think of pulling from the lats down. Experiment with all these and figure out what feels best/makes it easiest.

As far as training I’m a big proponent of waving the loads. Sometimes go a little heavier. If you can set it up with bands it would also be great to go lighter as well. This is what I do in my training towards the one arm chin. And after training this way I set a personal record of 21 strict pullups.

But just sticking with a max of 5 reps, I would do most sets in the 3 or 2 range. You’re currently doing tons of volume, so I’m sure you’re already doing this. Singles would also work well for the volume you‘re after..

The touching the bar to the chest is two things. One you need more strength especially at the top motion. This will come in just getting stronger at pullups. But it also needs to be practiced specifically. In all your reps pull as high as you can go, not just chin over the bar as most people do.

Hopefully that all helps and if you have more questions let us know.

Thanks,
Logan
