Pull-ups/Chin-ups...

[A Bit Better]

Did seem like you were parring it tbh.

[Black.]

Only started dong these last week, straps make them much easier

[YFSD]

That means your forearms are week if straps makes them easier.

[Black.]

Not really, just mean i dont have to worry about my grip without straps i can still do them with straps i can just get out more, im talking about wide pull ups by the way

[Yuri]

wide grip i do 3 sets of about 15 with 7.5kg on the belt

[carpedeum]

my advice is forget about assisted pull ups, and negatives. can you do ONE good pull up? if you can, then thats all you need to do. one good rep, rest and then try for another. chances are you would be able to bang out at least 3 good reps within 15-20minutes.do this every 3 days (unless youve really hammered shoulders or biceps the day before)as you train the rest of your body, youll become stronger and try and add just one extra rep to pull ups every week.so it doesnt matter if you can only do two good reps now, if you're consistent you'll be able to do 8-10 within a few weeks.after you warm up, do pull ups first before other excersizes too.

That's how I built up the strength to do them. Got a chin up bar in my doorway and everytime I walked past it I would do a couple reps and each day add one more onto it

[Guest Triple XXX]

i cnt do pull ups eithergained alot of weight fast and wasnt going gymwill start working on strength though

[zlastboss]

started training again recentlylast week could only do 8 close gripbeen doin a few sets every day and i can do 17 nowbut iv always been able to do alot of em coz im pretty skinny at one point years ago i used to do sets of 25 easynever tried weighted pullups only dips

[djbmc]

i do 4 sets of 8 pull ups wide grip when i do my back. i'm only 11.5 stone tho so i have less to pull up,

[djbmc]

Pull-ups/Chin-Ups are in my gym program I've just started doing again, but I can't do 'em for sh*t.TBH, I don't think I'm strong enough right now. (I weigh 85.5KG)The program says I should STICK with trying to do 'em & not do lat pull-downs to compensate...Any tips/advice?

didn't even read this, IMO if u can't even do one you need to build up ur strength to a point where u can at least complete one rep, do that by training with lat pull downs. that's wot i did and now i can do them fairly easily, see post above.

[Guest Triple XXX]

whats a lat pull down?

[djbmc]

[Guest Triple XXX]

ahh cn

[Bardissimo]

f*ck lat pull downdo negatives

[Corrigan]

seriously tho lol @ not being able to do 1jump up and use the momentum to help pull yourself at the very least

[thinkingthuglife]

yo u know chin up bars do u have 2 drill a hole into a wall then put screws in? coz my landlords not havin it if u do.

[King Jammy]

No

[Guest Triple XXX]

u can get the one that u put in the door way, can be used for sit ups aswellf*ck knows what its called tho im sure one of the gym goons does

[Guest Yilmaz]

I do mine at the end of a boxing/weights session. 3 sets of 10 wide arm and 10 tricep dips in between each set.I think calisthenics are the best form of strength building for boxers. It always makes me laugh when guys lift X amount of weight but can't do ten pull ups.

[Mame Biram Diouf]

nar dave not allmy bar theres 3 lil screws put into each side of the door frame and u put the bar into each end of the wall into a sort of candle type mould which secures it and u unwind the bar each side until it expands enough to be type into the wallnot sure which other alternatives their are

[thinkingthuglife]

yh all the ones i've seen have got them screws in.

[Yoshie]

You can get them without screws, Will Smith uses one in I am legend.

[DRC]
