Why do some people have great strength but can't do pull-ups?
Pull-ups are the best exercise for upper body strength, especially for back training. Although many people are muscular, they usually have great strength. The strength here is our strength, but there are many kinds of human strength. The strength needed for pull-ups is mainly upper limb strength, and trapezius muscles of the back, latissimus dorsi of the arm and biceps brachii are needed. If your muscle strength is not very good, it is relatively difficult to do pull-ups. Some people say that there is no skill in pull-ups, it is all talent and muscle strength, but as a fitness girl, I have also consulted some materials and found some tips in pull-ups.

First, there are only a few tips and tricks that can be used to do pull-ups, but in actual combat, there are still not many people who actually use them. First, master the correct pull-up posture. I won't introduce the specific posture here. Second, both hands must hold the horizontal bar tightly. This is to examine the grip strength of the palm we mentioned earlier. Increasing the grip strength can make our body weight more and more easy to pull up. Thirdly, shoulder sinking, as a kind of reverse shrug, can prevent us from pulling up our weight with the strength of trapezius muscle, so that we can learn to use the strength of latissimus dorsi and other muscles in various parts of the body.

Second, why can't strong people do pull-ups? Our strength can be divided into upper limb strength, lower limb strength, core strength and comprehensive strength. The strength of each part is determined by the muscle strength of different parts. Your strength may be manifested as the core strength or the strong grip strength of your arms, but the strength of the muscles needed for the real pull-ups may be weak, resulting in insufficient muscle strength to support the pull-ups That is to say, to put it simply, the contractility and support of one or more muscles responsible for pull-ups are not enough to bear your whole weight, while the three muscles mainly used for pull-ups are rarely used in daily life and are also the muscles that many bodybuilders don't pay much attention to, so people with strong strength only have good upper arm strength, and the muscles used for pull-ups are weak, so people who don't train regularly can't do any pull-ups.

Whether it's fitness or training, you can't rush for success. You need to practice slowly step by step. You can start by practicing the grip strength of our palms, try hanging vertically on the horizontal bar for a while, and then you can continue training slowly.
