15, just tried it.

Also: Are there any benefits of doing pullups behind your neck? Looks pretty shitty for your shoulders.

>>35655523
none though you can lie about it to anyone you meet to impress them

Why are pull ups so much harder on rings? I can do ten on a bar but hardly make 5 on rings. It doesn't seem like there should be that much of a difference on rings.

>>35655467
10 with 12.5kg extra weight added.
No idea unweighted probably around 20-25

>>35655467
30

Don't you people do pullups to balance out your muscle development from overhead press? What is wrong with you people?!

>>35655523
That movement is bad for you. The more unnatural a movement, the more likely it is to be bad for you. At what point will you have to move like that naturally?

about 6-7 in front of neck

About 22 reporting in.
5 reps with extra 15kg Added.

>>35655570
Stabilization, as so often. The rings can move in all directions, a pull up bar can't move.

11 before christmas break couple less now I guess


>>35655570
something something about stabilizers

>>35655570
Stabilizers are a big part of lifts, and rings pull more stabilizers into the movement in the same way that smith machine lifts are much easier than free weight lifts

>Don't you people do pullups to balance out your muscle development from overhead press?

What muscle development? I overhead press once every two weeks, there's no development happening.

>>35655585
This.

I am obsessed with rear delt development, most people who go to the gym have rolled forward shoulders, it ruins physiques

I do weighted with 45 for sets of 6-8.

>>35655467
12+ on a pull up bar, 11, or 12 sets of 9 on things too big to get a proper grip.

5 clean reps with 20kg added, 6 if you count the strained, 3/4 rep.

My fuckin nigga
I didn't realise mine weren't even until a few months ago when I started getting really into it and making serious gains. Since then I work rear delts twice as much as mid/front to try make them catch up. Not much progress yet but hoping to make that mazetti mode

I can do 10 pull-ups using 2 fingers(both hands) with a weight vest on....full extension too.

>>35655585
>30

just interested, 30 is impressive anyhow

>>35656214
30 fully extended pull-ups without kipping is impressive. On a good say I can do 20 strict pull-ups.

>>35656141
Developing rear delts makes your shoulders look wider and makes them look more capped because of the way it orientates your side delt. I made mine bigger by doing drop set face pulls, ( make sure your elbows are lower than your shoulders when you do them to isolate your rear delts and focus on pulling the shoulders back before the arms. Trust me you will be grateful for this advice later.

I'll be honest I can't do a single pull up how do I practice? I'd do them at the gym but I don't need that type of attention.. Also I'm too tall for those at home pull up bars that go on a doorway

>>35658419

>>35655649
>>35656141
my brethren

i already fucked up my shoulder in the past by not doing too much rowing/pullups and by doing too much benching/ohp

now every time i train upper back i do some form of pullups followed by db rowing and 3-5 sets of rear delt rows (kind of like the usual db row, but with flared elbows. you try to pull the weight with your rear delts and not with traps)
these burn so hard they make me drop the dumbbell when i do 5 sets of 8-12 of them
i also found this helps a lot to prevent that slouching look

high volume is the only way to train upper back

6'0", 170lbs, 25 pullups

>tfw still have love handles

are pull ups enough to develop abs?

>>35658419
Lat pulldowns, assisted pull-up machines, pull-ups with band assistance, slow negatives.

>>35655467
i can only get 2 actual ones... i need to work on my pull ups more

>>35658856
>develop abs
pls go

>>35658856
They're definitely a good compound lift, yes.

Add with push ups (even better if they're slow) and it is enough to have a solid frame at low enough body fat.

>>35658949
i get what you mean, but your abs to get bigger and strengthen just like any other muscle, he might be looking to build core strength rather than be aesthetic

No benefits whatsoever. It's a very compromised position for your shoulders to be in - just like behind-the-neck press.

>>35655467

with just my bodyweight i can do 8

I got worried when seeing the OP pic because I thought I had been doing pullups wrong the whole time

>>35655467
from 0 four months ago to 8 on a good day. I don't do them much but i guess rows at the gym have been working

>>35662827
Hard to pin down what causes that. Could be your forearms lagging behind, could be a strong biceps or could just be a lack of coordination of the back/shoulders.

Just try to pay attention on how you do those exercises. I know many curlbro-type of people who can millions of chinups, but not a single full ROM pullup, as they are mainly pulling themselves up using their arms. You don't have that possibility with pullups (that's probably the reason why many people feel that those work the lats better). You may just want to do more pullups.

People saying 20+ better do it fucking deadhangs or it doesn't count.

>>35655739
I feel you bro. I've been lifting nearly 2 years and my pull ups have actually went down. At the start of lifting I could pull off 8 or 9 pull ups depending on what exercises I had done before them. Now that I've been bulking for so long, I can only do 4 maximum, usually can only do 3. To be fair I only do pull ups once in a blue moon just to see where I'm at with them, but it feels bad mang. I thought adding a shit load of weight to OHP and bench would make my pull ups better ;_;

44 pullups

Problem is deadhangs are shit for your shoulders. Just go all the way down, but keep your shoulders tense. Deadhangs are a pretty stupid thing to do.

>>35668950
Do you start your pull-up from a dead hang?

I ask bcuses I have a 3rd degree shoulder separation and can currently do 3 pull-ups from a dead hang.. Should I be doing it differently?

>>35668950
This. Deadhangs feel uncomfortable as fuck, I don't care what anyone says, I'm not doing that shit. You can go down far enough while keeping your shoulders tense.

>>35669049
No, I go down until my arms are straight, but I don't hang. If I hang, I usually start to get shoulder pain. It's simply not worth it and probably better to target actual muscles.

9-10. 86kg at 186cm. Shit result. Need to do more. Somehow bouldering hasn't helped at all. All I've gotten from it is stronger fingers and good bouldering technique.

Brehs I can do like 2, well done obviously

when should I change machine exercise for pull ups in routine?
when I can at least 2x5?

Usually I do 3x8 with 35lbs weighted, pullups are probably my best exercise. One of the few perks of being a skelly.

Haven't done them unweighted in a while, so idk exactly how many I could do.

>>35670667
Dude I don't know how different bouldering is from rock climbing but in rock climbing we use our legs and technique before brute strength. I mean it's cool to muscle up using your arms and back but it's inefficient. Try weighted pull ups and chin ups, that will help your free weight pulls go up

behind the neck exercises as klokov press and btn pull ups just requires more shoulder mobility, they are hurtful if you don't have the mobility, similar to how dips is hurtful if your mobility sucks

you're right, but when 90% of the people don't have the mobility they should have to do it, it's safe to recommend against it

I haven't done pull-ups in a while, just chin-ups.

It's taken four long hard years of work with negatives and an assistance machine, but I can finally do 7 with good form and my entire body weight (yes, I do weigh over 200 pounds, how did you guess).

I'm still slowly improving, basically still a beginner, with minor gains every week, even as I've been doing intermediate free weight programming for over a year. Hoping to make it to 3x15+ this year, and then start on weights.

>>35674044
Negatives. Jump to get to the top, let yourself down slowly. Can't do that safely? Assistance machine, or get a stool and try to use your legs to help until you don't need it.
>Adding 2 session at the gym too much?
Shouldn't be. I actually swim twice a week, do BJJ on Saturdays, and free weight training three days a week.

since this is a pull-up thread:
I am 2.5 months into lifting. yesterday, I got to the point where I did one chin up rep that might have counted as a chin up (bar was about chin height, maybe a bit lower, maybe a bit higher).

did I fuck up that it took so long?

I do full body every other day, the pulling part is:
I attempt 2 chin ups, then do chair assisted chin ups until failure (got that from a scooby video). I do 5 sets.

I do 3x8 (the number that I am at now) bodyweight rows (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvkIaarnf0g) with feet on the ground. my back touches the ground between the reps bc not enough space at home.

I then do 3 sets of curls for the girls for 3x8 (again, the number that I am at currently) at 11kg per dumbbell.


did I fuck up somewhere?
