Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

6:50 am PST. Decent leg day done. It was DLs that really hit for me, legit felt like I was gonna pass out on the last set. Goblet squats were good for adding volume.

Chat GPT gotta tweak some exercises though. Hip thrusts aren’t really for me.

Ideally both. But if you can’t do both then I would do a combination of pronated/supinated (shoulder width) lat pulldowns. Get some nice progression going there for several weeks then when you stall switch to assisted pull-ups.

I would probably say lat pulldowns though I would need to know what your goal is. I would probably do as many regular pullups as I could, hit some barbell rows, and then lat pulldowns towards the end of my workout.

Current goal is cutting weight while preserving strength and recomping my physique. I know pull ups separate the men from the boys so to speak and to me, is one of pinnacles of fitness.

I think I’ll take a hybrid approach that both of y’all mentioned. Good looking, dapped + repped.

I was huge on them either but once I started squatting heavy again, they were real beneficial. I try to do a few sets at least twice a week now.

It was my first time doing them so I’m sure my form was a bit off. That might be why I wasn’t so crazy about them. I’ll try again next week.
