Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Bigblackted4]

Never really saw the allure of pull-ups. I weigh 200+ pounds and can pull (or chin) myself up 10+ times but so what?
(Folks can miss me with the long arms excuse too unless their wingspan is topping my 6 foot 8. )



Never had anyone in real life ask about my BW or weighted pull-up numbers and very few folks comment irl, even if you've got 3 plates hanging by your balls.

FWIW nobody cares how many pull-ups you can do outside of CrossFit, the Marine Corps, or thecoli.


But if that's your goal, worry about getting in shape first and then work on getting your pull-ups up.

It’s just a thing in the gym that I’ve never been good at and I want to. Other shyt comes easy but this.

It’s just a thing in the gym that I’ve never been good at and I want to. Other shyt comes easy but this.

Again, it's a niche thing that nobody cares about except for you, which is fine. Some other shyt will always be naturally easier than what you suck at, that's how strengths and weaknesses work.


If you're honest with yourself you'll prolly find you're either not in very good shape and/or you don't do them often enough.

If you're doing a bro split that's your first problem right there. Start doing one pull-up for ever barbell or dumbbell pressing rep and see how easy they become.


But all of these subsequent posts are pointless. You have your advice.
- Lose the extra weight first.
- Fix your programming if it's shytty.
- Increase the frequency to increase overall volume.
- Buy a pull-up bar so you can knock out reps at home.
- Strengthen your lats, middle back, rear delts, and biceps.

Do all of that and if it doesn't work, then come back.

Resolutioners haven't hit my gym hard moreso just an influx of every YoungLa broccoli headed weirdo that the 24 hour fitness kept from society. Praying when they reopen that place these guys will go back.

I have more muscle and less fat than this guy but I can’t do this.

Form or weak lats. The man in that video barely did 3 pullups. If you can't do that many then something is off with your training.

Feel like sysyphus brehs.

Early dec I was close to 315 bench, was squatting 385 for reps and my deadlift was 515.

Went on a trip and then came back and got sick, missed basically a month.


I'm out here struggling to get 460 off the ground and barely squatting 345 for 1 rep. And the less said about bench the better

A few more sessions and you'll be back to normal after that muscle memory kicks in...
