Monday someone called me big guy and then yesterday someone was like "Aye big Chris!"

:mjcry: I've been strict on my diet and haven't missed a lift or cardio session in two weeks. Have finally made it to 200 lbs but I'm still the big guy. I'm not even tall 5'10 so they're not talking about my height. (I know it's nothing but it's funny how some stuff can mess with you.)

Haven't read all your posts, but I assume from this that your goal is weight-loss (and not just cutting)

If so, don't worry about it. It takes a while for people to notice the changes. I went about two months of serious dieting and cardio (5 days a week) before people started noticing anything. Believe me though, once they do and when the comments/compliments start coming in, it becomes a whole lot easier because you now have "objective" evidence that the work you put in is paying off.

So basically, just keep doing what you're doing, you will eventually reap your rewards.

Just be patient and remain disciplined

any tips for increasing pullups? i just started and i can only do 3 sets of 5 at the moment :flabbynsick:
Gotta grease the groove :ahh: get yourself an iron gym if you don't have one. Put it on a door at your place, and every time u walk through that door bust out some pull-ups

3 sets of 5 repetitions isn't that bad. If you keep on doing sets over a longer period of time, then you would get in more reps per workout.
My suggestion is to start your workout with 3 sets. Move onto something else for 30 minutes, then come back to pull-ups and do another 3 sets at whatever reps you can do.

Keep at it and also try and do weighted for your 1st working sets, when you come to BW pullups it will feel so light. But key is to work at them, its the daddy of back exercises IMO.

See dudes doing craziness on lat pull downs etc, but cant do pull ups
:francis:

Also watch this

The legend speaks again - his stuff is so legit as he was the Head Physical Therapist and Assistant Strength Coach for the New York Mets. No brocience shyt with him. Been a follower f him for a while now.



I do those scapula warm ups before my pullups\back day and it helped me increase the amount I do now.

Try it
