Why do people hardly do pullups or dips

[mson]

Concentrating on my core for the Summer. I'll worry about the rest later.

i can do 3 sets of atleast 10 pull ups and chin ups. wide and close grip. In college we had combine type testing and we had to do those for one of the tests every year. we had to improve each year as well. really helps with game strength

OK, so the next question is what good are they then?

Very good for building the back, abs, and biceps

 

[Super Future Luther King Jr.]

Not everyone can lift their own body weight.

Which is embarrassing

I rarely do pullups. Why do them when you can do the seated pulldowns?

210 x 10 x 3

Have me feeling like donkey kong when I get off that bish

 

[Family Lives Matter]

Is it really surprising a tank of a man like Joe frazier couldn't do pull ups?

Everybody has different body types strengths and weaknesses.

I'm 6 ft 4 I had to work a lot harder to do those kind of exercises than a person who is short with shorter arms.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

if you can do dips you def can do pull ups

Not necessarily......

 

[Deafheaven]

when i'm completely fresh I've done like 30 pullups straight.

not lacking the lifts either


I always thought body weight exercises were the truest tests of strength since if you need to pull your self up from a ledge or some shyt that 375 bench at 250 might not do shyt for you

fukk pull ups

Dips are cool


Cant lift myself worth a damn but I still got these one hitter quitters

 

[Rice'N Beckford]

short, compact nikkas can always do pullups and dips easily. I think this thread is a humble brag tho

Im tall as hell, and have long ass arms like 37 in. long. If I have my arms stretched all the way out doing a pullup Im inches from the ground. Its harder for longer limb folks to do those.

I used to do dips on the dip bar but that started giving me pain in my wrist. Dips on the dip bar never felt comfortable to me at all. I just stick to the seated dip machine and rack up alotta weight on that

pull ups and dips is the foundation to building natural strength. i usually do 4-5 sets ( 20-25 reps) of dips/pull ups each set.

if you can't lift your own body weight you better start doing dips/pullups.

My dude always used to say that pull-ups done right are what get your back to flare out like a Cobras head giving you a beastly appearance.

In surgery healing mode I miss that shyt

 

[semtex]

Not necessarily......

You have way more leverage with dips than pullups

 

[50CentStan]

when i first started as a youngn i couldnt do a single pull up, look at me now 20 in 1 set

 

[MustafaSTL]

I do pull-ups during every back and bicep day, and do dips on my chest/shoulder/tricep day.

Pull-ups are definitely harder, but I see the results.
