I've been going to the gym for three years and I see visible progress in muscle gains. However I still fail to do any "hanging" exercises. I can neither do 1 pull-up nor a front lever. How is this possible? Are there people who are genetically unable to do those things despite being generally strong?
And before you ask, I have been specifically doing all the preparatory exercises. I have no problem with rows and lat pull-downs, or with leg raises and L-sits. But as soon as I'm hanging, nothing works.
Ima take this bait.
How fucking fat are you to not be able to do a single god damn pullup after 3 years?

I'm normal weight. BMI of 24.
Do you have god awful grip strength?
youre not as strong as you tnik you are. humble yourself and train harder because youre clearly not training hard enough.
You can't... do a pullup?
>>39512589
Practice pull ups, that's about all anyone can suggest.

You lack explosive muscle fibers. Give up your dream of becoming a barstarz and focus on getting yoked
To get better at pullups do fucking pullups. Not that lat pulldown shit, it doesnt engage the core like pullups. Do a fuckton of negatives and youll be able to do one in like a week.
Front lever, just look up a progression on youtube, you cant just magically do it without ever doing it. iirc its tuck lever, one foot extended, full front lever

Ive been liftinf 2 years
5'9 and 210lbs 25% bf probably more, i shouldnt be able to do any
But even i can do 4 pullups and 10 chinups
What in the fuck are you doing ??
>>39512589
rows
deadlifts
band assisted pullups
most gyms even have machine assisted pullup stations
C'MON SON wtf are you doing

This.
If you never did a deadlift in your life and attempted to pull 400lbs (even if you could squat 600 or whatever) would you be surprised if you couldn't? If you want to get better at a movement you need to practice it. Calisthenics in particular are all about training.
You have to either be really fat or have 0 muscle if you can't do a single pullup. If you were somewhere in between you could do them.

I can't really comprehend this thread.
I'm 5'5" and have been lifting for just over a year.
I can do 50 pullups and squat more than 4pl8.

Brah why mention your height. Squatting for you is like a foot movement.
>>39513123
i bet you have the shittiest pullups i'd ever see
>>39513123
when you're 5'5 is a squat really a squat?
