  Coming from an old Marine, train chest to bar rather than chin over bar. Obviously for PFT you need chin over bar, but train the range of motion of chest to bar to protect that spine. Consider long term health over PFT score. Also, do not cut out eccentric phase furring training, only during the test.

Straight legs / Uncrossed <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHsa1yeRugg&amp;t=207">3:27</a><br>4. Widen up the grip <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHsa1yeRugg&amp;t=323">5:23</a><br>5. Cut the eccentric phase / push yourself down &nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHsa1yeRugg&amp;t=468">7:48</a><br><br>This video is amazing, it&apos;s funny how even without watching this video I realized these mistakes and corrected them by myself, this video just made me feel more focused on my training and that I&apos;m on the right path! Thanks Michael!

  Hi, thank you. I recall getting up to 20 pullups in 8th grade. Last year at 75 I couldn&apos;t &nbsp;do one. &nbsp;Pushup neither. Now after having a stroke on my 76th birthday in October, with physical therapy advice and beginning with learning on kitchen counter I have gotten to being able to do a few pushups, working on it daily. And I manage to do a negative pullup now and subscribed to you &apos;cause you&apos;re obviously the man to inspire me to be able to do pullups

  Pull-ups became so much easier when I stopped crossing my legs. Watched a video on this many years ago, and sure, pull-ups are still a tough exercise in general. But that little tweak makes a ton of difference.<br><br>Great pointers, will definitely incorporate these into my pull-up sessions!
