lol @ straps for unweighted pullups

need to add weight if you can do 12 pull ups. Just make sure you are pulling with your back instead of your arms, get shoulder blades down as soon as you start pulling. Control the negative (but none of that 5sec BS). Don't use legs. Use a standardised range of motion, chin over the bar is too easy to cheat. Front delts to bar if you can. Don't bounce out of the bottom, but don't relax either.

Basically, pulling yourself up by trying to pull your elbows down to the floor, you'll engage your lats a lot more.

Kind of hard to explain but like think of ur elbows as the prime mover not ur hands. How I learned it was from rows by rowing ur elbows to the ceiling. Sounds dumb but it has a huge effect, during pull ups how you’ll notice ur doing it right from a video is ur elbows will be closer in to ur body and you’ll have less sway.

Just watched video again, you're too willy nilly

keep your head in the same position
keep your legs in the same position
keep the same tempo, some reps you bounce, some reps you drop quick, some reps you kind of pause.

I think hammer grip or rings are superior to a straight bar tbh. Straight is too restrictive on your joints.

I used to have similar issues with grip, but these "uneven pull-ups" really eliminated them since I've learned to support with bodyweight with just one hand.

Putting athletic tape on the bar and using chalk definitely helps getting used to these.

Are you frauding your stats in sig? Nothing makes sense. You don't look 185 and your pullups look weak.
