00:00Do you have any tips for guys who are trying to eke out those pull-up reps?

00:06I do.

00:07We'll talk about them right after.

00:08All right.

00:09We're going in three, two, one.

00:12Here we go.

00:14Yes.

00:16One more.

00:17One more.

00:20That's good.

00:21And time.

00:23For vertical pull or any kind of movement that I think is one where you're trying to

00:27get a little bit more out of it, squeeze a little bit more out of that thing, lengthened

00:32partials at the end of the set are a really good option.

00:34So even if you can't get all the way to the top of that pull-up and you're down here at

00:39the bottom, just any kind of movement down there, really the research is showing that

00:46that will give you a similar response to doing the whole rep.

00:50So even if you get a couple of lengthened partials, two of those, it's basically the

00:53equivalent of getting two reps of full range.

00:56Since you're building those up over time, that will result in more strength gains, right?

01:02So you'll be working out to doing more reps, right?

01:05My mind, the whole thing's like a big spreadsheet.

01:08And if you're doing more reps, you're going to create more adaptation.

01:12Don't do it in the short position, which is what most people do, where it's like we're

01:15just at the top, kind of just, okay.
