Can't do a fucking pull up

Negatives until failure every day and you'll be able to do one in a week unless you're really fat

Thanks guys, will do.
> unless you're really fat
I'm full twink mode which is why don't understand why I can't do one. I don't even weigh that much.

Follow up ultra newfag question:
I've been working out consistently for about a little over a month now and I noticed that my stomach is getting more defined and I'm getting closer to abs. The only issue I have is that there is a little more fat around my lower abs that won't seem to go away. I'm doing vertical leg raises and using this weighted ab crunch machine on top of my regular workout. Should I give it time or am I doing something wrong with my diet or some shit. Sorry if this is hard to answer.

Take your time and practice hanging from the bar to increase your grip strength. Try lifting yourself periodically. Boost yourself and hang at the top of the motion then went try to slowly lower down. Getting good at pullups takes time but its worth it. This exercise activates muscles all along your arms and back and the results come quickly, at least for me. Put some time into it daily even just for ten minutes. Good luck user.

Thanks so much!

Fuck the abs for now and go on a real bulk you twink ass skelly fag unless you want to be a bottom for the gymrats for the rest of your life.

Don't worry about gaining a bit of bodyfat, and start building that premium muscle first.

Eat big to get big

Do scapula pull ups

And bad gene too

I did sets of 12 reps with lat pulldowns
Added 5kg every week or so until i was able to do pullups.

Everything you wanted to know about pullups but were too afraid to ask
Don't listen to Jow Forums's disinfo campaign
also do negatives, tier 1 training for people not strong enough to do proper sets

please educate yourself before talking out of your ass

pretty much this if you're skelly.

It doesn't matter. The differences are negligible, pick whichever one you like the most. Personally, neutral grip is comfy and I like the stretch from the extra ROM.

remember to warm up before doing pull ups or you can fuck up your traps. you wont believe how much support work that muscle does until it hurts when you do anything

This.

I've pulled a trap doing pull-ups a couple of times. what kind of warm up do you recommend?

I couldn't do a single pullup two months back, now I can do around 8/9
All these negatives and shit didn't work for me
What I did was
1, I did chin ups - could squeeze out one ugly rep when I started, but I did that rep everytime I could, eventually when I could do about 3-4 chin ups I could squeeze out one ugly close grip pull up
2, then I did close grip pullups same way as chinups. When I could do about 3-4 I could do one wide grip with dead stop
3, I did wide grips with dead stops and bought a WOD black band from amazon. When I squeezed out all I could do I would do assisted ones with this band

Negatives, lat pulldowns and losing weight helped me.

Best answer

>losing weight

honestly the most important aspect

everyone I see at the gym even attempting unassisted pullups is like 10kg lighter than me at minimum

>Had no idea what negatives are
>Come to this thread

Lads I am so excited to train back again next week now.

If bodyweight exercises impress traps I'm starting a routine tomorrow.

how much do you weight ? im 95kg at 185cm and even i can do 3x5 chinups

I started with chin ups then moved on to pull ups, squeeze your abs as well maybe

>chinups

We're talking pullups, i'm 90kg with TERRIBLE strength to weight ratio and I can shit out chinups, I can barely do 1 proper pullup

I cant do them from deadweight, I can do reps and all if my feet are slighty touching the ground, even with no impulse. But if I am just hanging I cant go past 80 degree and its making me go insane.

I dont know if the issue is my back or grip strenght.

have you tried not being a little bitch?

if you can't do one pull up you're a fucking joke and should just become a trap.
seriously, if you ever struggled doing a push up or a pull up, you're a genetic failure and will never make it.
you're inherently weak and should just stick to playing vidya.

It is way easier for little bitches, if they can reach the bar, of course

Like ops pic says, google "fighter pull up" and do that program, its great.
I couldnt do more than 6 strict reps (assisted) and needed a lot of rest if I wanted to do another set, now I can do around 10 strict and Im only on week 3 of the program. I hit a snag last week and felt really weak so I took a couple days of rest and started again from the first day of the week I failed. When I started the program I ditched the resistance band and progressed much quicker.

If you cant do a single rep just do chinups or assisted with a band, doing negatives didnt do shit for me. Just ditch the band ASAP
When I started I noticed tjat my biggest problem was weak grip strenght. Once my forearms got stronger the reps came out easier. Do like 5 sets of 30secs dead hangs, your forearms will get stronger really quickly. Keep doing pullups, the whole "if you want get better at pullups, just do pullups" isnt bullshit.
The pullup is an exercise too good to not do it.
