I can't do a pull-up. What are some exercises that I can

>>42359519
At least at my gym there are assisted pull up machines that you can gradually take off weight. and some exercises? probably ones that aim to lats and biceps

>>42359519
Pullups. Literally keep trying.

About 6 months ago I struggled with getting past 3.

I can do 20 now. I just do them all the time.

This. I started calisthenics two months ago and could only do like 5 pull ups, today i hit new pr of 14 pull ups

>>42359560
terrible advice.

>>42359519
lat pull downs, bicep isolation, lose body weight, >>42359550 , forearm exercises.

Latissimus dorsi: 117-130%
Biceps brachii: 78-96%
Infraspinatus: 71-79%
Lower trapezius: 45-56%
Pectoralis major: 44-57%
Erector spinae: 39-41%
External oblique: 31-35%
(muscle activation in a pull up)

No.
Both of you started where you can complete the ROM for reps, he can't even do one. It would be better for him to focus on individual muscles to strengthen than trying to do a pull up 3 times and failing

Arms, shoulders, and back

If only there were some sort of machine that would assist you in doing a pull-up, some sort of assisted pull-up contraption...

retards , he said he can't even do one

Just do some other exercise for the muscles required to do one

If you go to uni and they have a rock wall climbing is godlike for increasing pull-up ability, even though it's supposed to be mostly legs.

dubs of truth

I think you could actually reverse engineer one using the hanging one legged leg press I see girls using all the time.
