I can't do pullups.
I've been doing them for like 1 month and I do them everyday once until i can't do more and on thursday I do at least 10 (with as many sets as i need)
My max rep is 4. fucking 4...
I'm 2 meters tall and 87.5kgs, I'm bulking, I know... But seriously how to improve pullups? Im starting to think I will never be able to do 10 in a row or even 7
Other urls found in this thread:
negatives
and keep doing them
do more curls and rows too
fug man, I'm like 25cm shorter and weigh 85
you need to speed up that bulk mr skellington
My max is 1 pull-up and 4 chinpus. A few weeks ago I couldn't do one. Keep practicing.
yes i do both of these. i also do lat pull down. I see improvement on these three but seriously pullups is just too much
I may have some mental blocking here
this also do more exercises that target the same muscles as the pull-up
Ive been eating 3500kcal a day... i could sneak in another meal right after gym, I just need a shaker to get a milkshake or something.
I have been tracking my weight since April 6 and it was 86.7kg, today it was 87.5kg.
This is honestly my personal best weight EVER, and I think i'm getting it at a good pace, I really didnt expect it to go this fast. It is really fast for me
dude, follow the Armstrong program. Designed by a USMC Major and used my dudes who want to prepare for special forces selection. I'm not a Marine (considering OCS after graduation next year, haven't decided), but a couple years ago I used it to go from 13 max to 28 pr on pull ups, with full extension
>I do them everyday
Well here's the problem
You're getting close to reaching maximum muscular efficiency. You need to do hypertrophy exercises. Do lat isolation(slow eccentrics) and pullup negatives
I find people love cheating on pullups to pretend they can do pullups.
Concentrate on building muscle not doing more pullups.
I see more people half rep pullups as much as I see people half repping squats.
I personally go like dead hang at the bottom on the rep, that way you're fully stretching out your lats and even your biceps then pulling yourself up right over the bar.
Try cheating and use a neutral grip, it makes it easier
I will start doing negatives, I already do the lat pull down...
I'm not cheating... When I say i do 4 i mean from full arm extension to chin on top of the bar. Thats why i can't do more than 3 and if im lucky i can do 4
are you skinny fat?
no
CBT
shitty phone tho
you look like you're lacking in core muscles. do some weighted sit ups.
Try to do deadhangs in between your reps, you'll probably do less than 4 but it should help improve your pullup game
Your tattoo makes me hate you. If your body is a canvas, draw a portrait on there not scribbles
Holy shit. Train your legs!
yeah can you tell what it says? I think its "I am har now" but that doesnt make sense.
I was looking for some core exercise, I like this one, i'll do them from now on
Im doing 2 leg days a week with squats on both of them. I'm just starting to count calories and track my weights. I'm slowly getting up on squats but I had an ACL injury on both my knees and its hard for me to squat with a lot of weight.
It says "I am here now".
It's a sort of Carpe Diem but with some extra touch that makes it special for me
While we're at it, im gonna post my routine:
1)
bench press
rows
inclined barbell bench press
lateral dumbell raise
french press
biceps curls
2)
deadlift
squats
moving squats alternating legs
calves
3) rest day
4)
pullups
military press
rows
inclined barbell bench press
dips
biceps curl
french press
5)
squats
moving squats alternating legs
bulgarian split
calves
I do abs everyday, about 2 exercices
All exercises are 3 sets and some to 12 reps, others 10 others 8
Get them resistance bands. I started from 7. After 4mo i got up to 15. After 12mo I have 22.
Just do neutral grip close grip and underhand close grip.
Builds the back better and more efficiently than overhand wide grip, healthier movement for the shoulders joints.
Don't fall for the "wide grip = wide back" meme. It's the opposite in reality. The lats work the hardest when the elbows are tucked close to the body. The upper back is more emphasized when the elbows are flared out
And no, just because the wide grip overhand is harder to do, it doesn't mean it's a better movement. It just places the muscles you're trying to work in a less efficient position to pull from.
Doubt it's about muscle efficency. My arms are 32cm(12.6") in circumference and I can do 22 pullups
I will try this, but in the gym that im going im not sure if there is a way to do neutral grip
My problem is, i think, that I dont have enogh strength on the back. And to do pullups you need a lot of strength to be able to do even one
Lmao dont do it everyday
everyday i do just one set at the very end of the workout, to see how many i can do (usually about 3)
Then on thursdays i do 3-4 sets untill i reach 10
Squats plz and calves plz
throw in some shrugs for dem traps.
If true, big. I like doing neutral grip 100x more but have been told I'm cheating myself by not doing wide as possible over supine grip.
I'm not going to research and trust you and just switch to neutral grip and close grip underhand. Thanks Jow Forums, you just made my day.
i do them twice a week
Ya I do neutral do. Shit's cash.
