Pull ups are one of the best all-around moves for increasing your upper body strength and overall fitness level.
They are a natural movement pattern of human beings!, not to mention basic and old-school.
When it comes to cranking out more, small form tips like the one we cover in today’s video can make a huge difference.
Today’s tip is about your eyes – that is, where you are looking during the exercise – and how that impacts the position of the rest of your body during the movement, the muscles you end up activating, and the “rhythm” you get into during your set.

PS – If you’re stuck and can’t seem to make progress towards your pull-up goals, odds are you’re performing exercises that will NOT improve your ability to perform more pull-ups. Exercises such as:
- Lat Pull Downs
- Band-Assisted Pull-Ups
- Machine-Assisted “Gravitron” Pull-Ups
Do NOT have much, if ANY, carry-over to actually helping you to do more pull-ups.
(Don’t get me wrong – these are fine exercises in their own right, and I use them regularly in my programs!… it’s just important to know that they are not necessarily going to help you do more pull-ups, if that is your goal.)
If you want to improve your pull-ups, here’s what I recommend you try instead:
It’s a complete 28-day pull-up mastery system designed for people 40+ who want to go from zero to 20 flawless reps.
Here’s how it’s set up:
1 – You start at the right phase for YOUR current level. There are 6 progressive phases total — so whether you’re just getting started or already cranking out a few reps, there’s a clear starting point for you.
2 – You follow a simple day-by-day plan with follow-along videos and PDF guides — no guesswork, just a system that works.
I developed this program using the same progressive principles I’ve used with hundreds of clients to build pull-up strength the right way, layer by layer.
If you are looking to do more pull-ups, this is the most direct path I know of to get there.
However, this is your last chance to get the course at “original” pricing – after this, the price goes up.
