Pull ups
« on: March 12, 2009, 12:51:27 PM »
We have a max effort pushup and a one minute pushup thread.  Might I recommend two similar pullup threads?

I almost completed a pullup with 90lbs in addition today, I am still stuck at around 60 or so for reps.

Wow, you have a lot of strength and endurance. Are these deadhangs?

Yes, I'm adding weight because my goal is currently a one handed chin, but it is proving to be much more difficult than I previously had though.

15 is my highest so far. I'm pretty happy with that because I've only recently started doing pull ups

How do you progress to a higher amount of pull ups when you can barely do one? (Me) I've been working out for about a year straight, but still can't do pull ups. I bench and do pussh ups, but I just simply find it impossible to do pull ups.

You can work on assisted pull-ups or lat pulldowns if you're anywhere near a gym. If not, I would suggest trying rows and slower negatives. Once you get around the hang of a few pull-ups, it's cranking them out and cranking them out with added weight.

Thanks Bao. I am in a weight lifting class every other day at school. They have both.
