Do negatives.

babies have perfect form because their leverages are so perfect for squatting. look at them tiny legs relative to torso...!

use one of those weight assisted chin up machines

I hadn't done a single pull up until recently and then just decided to give it a shot after a lot of weight loss and rowing, could do 3x8 easily which felt nice. just raising my chin above that bar felt good.

This
In one month I went from barely able to do 2 to doing sets of 5
Now I can do sets of 10.
Do the negatives and accessory lifts

>tfw too embarressed to do negatives at the gym because everyone will judge you for not being able to do a chin up

>can do 3x10 dips
>can barely do 5 pull ups
wtf is my problem?

>>41150658
Replace pull ups and chin ups with pull downs
Not sure how to replace dips tho

>>41150658
Heavy underhand pulldowns (sets of 6), let the weight stretch your lats at the top

This will tear up your upper back for sure and you'll be doing chins in no time

Lost over 100 pounds working out with them, but dropped out of high school while in the program, and they didn't want to take me without even having my GED.

So, basically got a decent fat camp out of it working out with those Marine dudes 2 days a week for like 4 months or so

dips should be easier than pull ups
i can bang out >30 bodyweight dips but only 10 or so chin ups in a set, while rowing more than i bench

>>41153633
pushups you retard

This.

Couldn't even do one, lost 25 lbs and did a ton of rows and shit, now can do them easily.
