can only do 3 proper chin ups, what do brehs? i tried that shit when you do em through the day almost everyday but my elbow is kinda fucked so i cant do em that often, should i just do:
3x3-5? and rows till i can do 4 and so on?
i have like 0 lats or back (fuck) so thats probably the biggest problem
Try weighted ones. Even if you can only add 20 lbs or do 1 rep the extra weight should help with strength
I do chins 3x per week, last set I do until failure and really slow painful negatives on the way down for the last rep or two
Start lifting for aesthetics instead of strength and start using machines and stop listening to the Rippleboi Gang, they tend to frequent this board and suggest stupid shit like squatting and deadlifting. They can be identified by their commonly used nomenclature which includes mumbo jumbo like "posterior chain", "hip drive" and "buy the book".
>3x3-5? and rows till i can do 4 and so on?
That'll work, just don't fuck over your elbow. Actually, feel free to do more sets as long as your elbow can handle it.
7 minute AMRAP Tbh
Oh, and figure out what plagues your elbow and fix that, too.
how many times a week you recommend doing chin ups 2-3?
>can only do 3 proper chin ups, what do brehs?
If you're looking for lat development, do wide grip pullups instead.
Do 3xF and then when you're done that, do 3xF negatives. REALLY SLOWLY. Making sure you keep proper form.
Eventually ofc you wanna do both, but chinups put way more stress on your arms, and if your elbow is a weak point, you might want to avoid that to begin with (the dudes suggesting weighted chin ups are trolls, doing that will seriously injure you if you have an underlying injury/condition).
aigh then
Which best routine for aesthetics?
people telling you to add weight? fucking a. I do 72 pullups on certain days, I'm telling you what to do is suck it up, and grab a box or a mini bench so you can easily jump to the top and negative yourself down. just do the reps normally until you have to start doing the negatives. do sets of 8, as many sets as you like. the next workout you'll find you can get through more sets. jesus. add weight? really? when hes at his 3 reps? jesus, you fucking morons.
Do NOT do wide-grip. Your lats are already plenty engaged if you have your hands in the natural pull-up position. All wide-grip does is tear your shoulders up. It's unhealthy and it will NOT help you more.
I do chin ups 3x a week till for 3xF making solid gains doing more and more every week
I did 3x5 45lbs chin ups today. Feels good.
>being such a manlet you need a box for negatives
yea, yea, say what you want- come do pullups with me and we'll see how you do. you're the guy who does one set right? lol if you've done this before, you'd know the box is so you aren't wasting any energy in the setup, you step up and jump to the top with minimal effort. bend your knees on the way down to keep it out of the way. but shit, if worrying about being a manlett and letting a box get in the way of mastering pullups, a fundamental exercise in my opinion, then whatever lol.
Ladder sets
12321 for example?
Lose some weight you fat, weak faggot. My gf can do 3 chin ups and the only exercise she gets is cleaning the house.
I cando 1, you are better than me, that's something
Post body
Find the weakpoint and target it.
Also your upperback is weak, you probably got memed by a powerlifter,you need close to 2:1 pull/push ratio.
>tfw same shoulder to arm size ratio as Curry
Unironically this, I've only ever fucked around with bodyweight and machines and have not gotten swole in the slightest, just more cut.
>what should i do to get better at this one thing that i wanna do
just do them?
>started doing chin ups a little over a month ago
>could only do like 4 in a set at first
>tfw did 11 on first set last Friday
Feels good. I do them at the end of my workout three days a week. Gonna keep doing them that frequently, but starting Wednesday I'm gonna alternate between weighted and unweighted depending on if the day includes curls.
good job man. I found doing weighted chinups even if I was only doing 1-3 reps made bodyweight chinups SUPER easy
just push harder for the 4th
eventually you will do more
don't need to do anything fancy unless ur fat as shit
Stay away from failure.
What worked for me was going 1 rep for failure, then the next set 1 less rep than that, then the next one 1 less too.
So it would go like:
7 ( could have done 8 but hard ), 6 , 5 reps.
Lose weight.
Skinny guys can do a fuckload with minimal effort.
i think my elbow its really fucking my progress up, welp probably gonna need to hit the rows hard
>Week 1
Mon, Wed, Fri: 5 sets of 1 rep, 2:30 rest between sets
>Week 2
Mon, Wed, Fri: 1 set of 2 reps, 4 sets of 1 rep, 2:30 rest between sets
>Week 3
Mon, Wed, Fri: 2 sets of 2 reps, 3 sets of 1 rep, 2:30 rest between sets
>Week 4
Mon, Wed, Fri: 3 sets of 2 reps, 2 sets of 1 rep, 2:30 rest between sets
>Week 5
Mon, Wed, Fri: 4 sets of 2 reps, 1 set of 1 rep, 2:30 rest between sets
>Week 6
Mon, Wed, Fri: 5 sets of 2 reps, 2:30 rest between sets
>Week 7
Mon, Wed, Fri: 1 set of 3 reps, 4 sets of 2 reps, 2:30 rest between sets
...and so on.
>2 (two) minutes and 30 (thirty) seconds between rests
I don't even rest that much doing squats lmao
I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but you'll end up resting for about that long when you start doing weighted sets.
>Unironically this, I've only ever fucked around with bodyweight and machines and have not gotten swole
Very cool.
Most strength training recommends 5 to 8 reps. Doing 1 fucking rep is 100% worthless. He wont be able to handle the load at all and his form will be absolute shit.
To be clear, I'm not OP. I rest 180 seconds between deadlifts, 120 seconds for the rest of the compounds and 90 seconds for machine lifts or isolations.
Every day if you want actual progress
you serious?
You're probably just fat. Cut some weight.
>the only exercise she gets is cleaning the house.
you're never gonna make it faggot
tried some 6 day a week program but it ended up fucking my elbow, probably only works if you are only doing chin ups and not lifting
Do those chin up bars you hang on your door frame work alright? I'm in a rental and I don't particularly want to destroy my door.
retarded
acceptable.
your bicep and and lats are weak. strengthen them with curls and rows. 12X3.
you don't even have to chin ups, just raise the weight on those two movements chin ups will suddenly become easy.
Lose Bodyweight
Thanks will do, my biceps are probably ok, but i have literally 0 lats never trained them before gonna work on dem rows
Bent over rows and other back lifts help immensly
>op can't do 3 chin ups
>lol just add weight
why is this board full of fucking dyel fucks giving advice
You don't need any sort of special periodized plan, lol jesus christ if you can't do 3 pull ups you're very weak and probably quite fat too. keep lifting and lose weight you'll get stronger.
The only way to be able to do more pull/chin-ups is to do more pull/chin-ups.
Losing weight helps as do improving your other lifts, but bear in mind many people can't even do a single one because they never train them.
Here's what some other user said which works for me:
Set a goal, say 5. Try and do as many as you can with proper form (all the way down all the way up full extension, no kipping/using excessive momentum/pushing your feet off the ground etc) and when you can't do any more make up the remainder with negatives (jump up grab the bar and lower yourself down slowly, will FUCK UP your forearms but WILL give you progress).
Do that for 3 sets 2 or three times a week until you hit your goal, then move it up a bit (8 or 10). Once you can do 5 chin-ups you should be ale to do a least 1 pull-up so mix and match.
Whatever you do DON'T try using assisted pull-up machines, they don't train half the muscles you need to use and you'll just be wasting your time.
t.Has doubled my chin-up max in the last month doing this
do more chin-ups
negative chin ups, australian chin ups
Do them every workout superset with push movements like BP and OHP. DO THEM SLOWLY AND WITH PERFECT FORM. Don't rush. It's better to focus on form and time under tension than on numbers. You will get crazy progress.
Provided there isn't a problem with the structural integrity of your door frame the only damage you're going to do is when you forget it's hanging there and try to slam the door shut. I do that all the time.
Aww look at these guys having an argument on the best way to do NEGATIVE PULLUPS.
