Please, you can do some pullups. There's nothing better than seeing people do a pullup who don't think they ever could; women, overweight people, etc. I'm the first dude in the gym to congratulate somebody who knocks out a few pullups when they're just starting to do them![]()
I'm much stronger now, but I just haven't gotten myself over to the pullup machine to start training them.I still have trouble initiating a 25-lb bicep curl on the machine, something tells me I wouldn't be able to whip out a pullup magically...:
There is, I mentioned I just haven't gotten myself over there yet.Is there an assisted pullup machine at your gym?
I remember reading about using a resistance band to aid in pullups for beginners.
Pssh, depending on the band you choose.. Some of them can be even more difficult than the pull up itself.
There is, I mentioned I just haven't gotten myself over there yet.
That's what I meant by pullup machine, which tells you how familiar I am with this whole fitness thing.It took me SUCH a long time to figure out what the hell that back exercise doohicky was. I think it's called a roman chair, but I'm still not that sure.
ExactlyI think SYn is referring to the method of using the band to assist yourself to get a pullup (wrap over bar and under legs/feet)
I can do like 5 goods pull ups for sure.
The thing with me, is that I just eat food and sometimes don't eat enough. But I work out and do cardio now. Think I do HITT cardio. I did 13 mins. It's when you go slow(well, not fast) for 2 minutes, fast for 1 minute, then repeat, right? In 13 minutes and like a 1 minute cool down, I did just over 1.5 miles and like 122 calories. On a esclipse machinefacepalm

^ Getting better with my form. Does it matter if I bring them together and cling them or no?(Don't cling them too hard, but it's ok to bring them together) I just bring them down right by the chest or below the chest and push up.

Tomorrow is squat day. My max is still at 170...but I've lost reps at 160 and up. I should just buy a weight belt. Where can I buy one at? Hibbet Sports?(I'm sure they have them at whatever sports store you're talking about)
Also do LatDown Pulls. And I guess seated leg press, as I've moved pullups to bicep/shoulders day.
Oh, when you said "pullup machine", I thought you meant the unassisted, regular-ass pullup bar. You have nothing to fear when it comes to the assisted machine, you can start out as light as you want. This is prob why Mrvl hates it, because you can make it a little too easy and slow your progress by becoming complacent.

You are asking for an injury with that one. I dont care if Will Smith did it in " I am Legend."I do the narrow, neutral, wide, and reverse wide grips. I'm probably gonna start doing the wide grip where you pull up and the bar is behind your head, as opossed to in front of it.
I know...
Lat. Pull. Down.
Just be ready to hit 'em hard Hamercock!
Or maybe just bc it is BS!
Pullup machine....give me a break.
Wow...where to begin with this post???
Its HIIT, not HITT
I dont know what th
e hell a esclipse machine is...do they make those from leftover Mitsubishi Eclipses???? LOL. That aside, you cant do true HIIT on an elliptical machine.
No, you dont need a weight belt....ever....but especially not to squat 170 bro.
Why would you move Pullups from back day to bicep/shoulder day???
Pullups are THE back exercise, period.
When I run my hair bounces up and downand it can be short at the time. I just feel comfortable on that machine.
Okay, I bring them together now. Bringing them together like...helps out the chest more, right?
Lat. Pull. Down. I try and remember that.
Hibbett Sports. You haven't heard of them?
