Unleashing The Secrets Of The Pull Up For Exploiting Lats and Middle Traps Development

  • Having superb Back and Middle Trapezius is one of the most desired physical characteristics that men in gyms train for.
  • If it was effortless to get larger and more powerful Lats and Rear Deltoids, each and every guy in the workout room who used the Pull Up would be bragging about them. But it's not as easy as that. I have tried using a lot of approaches to increase the size of muscles but most of them do not work.
  • For that rare person who seems to pack on muscle mass just mowing the lawn, it can be because of genetic makeup rather than any other factors.
  • To whatever magnitude the Pull Up enables you to maximize muscle size and overall strength, make sure you keep close track of other elements of your muscle training program and eating regimen. You will probably find that increasing your vitamin D intake by 15% will increase your strength gains.


If you seriously want to lift heavier weights then overload the muscles deliberately and slowly. For increased muscle activation, seek to take about 2-4 seconds on the concentric portion of the Pull Up, and then be sure to lower it in about 6-10 seconds. You need to activate your brain and neurological system, along with your Rhomboids and Lower Traps, to help you make the most from this sort of multi-joint compound movement. Lift the weight and lower using a slower rep speed of 5-6 seconds, really feeling yourself combating gravity. This focus on the muscle tissues, as opposed to the weight will enable you to become more powerful over the long term. The slow negative reps is going to enlist more muscle fibre and prevent inertia minimizing the potency of your Lats and Levator Scapulae workouts.
