Why do people hardly do pullups or dips

[Originalgangsta317]

I can do like 5 sets of 20 pullups but am still weak when it comes to bench

What's your bench? And those are two different motions,one is a push and the other is a pull

Two completely different motions/muscle groups fam

U better than most dudes in the gym tho. Usually its the opposite. Just make sure u are getting full ROM

Yup just told em this bro

I usually warmup by back and chest days with four sets of 10 pullups or dips

So I figured I'd try out some dips at the gym yesterday.

Man I was swing back and forth like

Got about 3 sets of 5 in tho, I was look mad wild initially tho

 

[Un-AmericanDreamer]

I do 4 sets of 10 pullups everytime I work out and 4 sets of 12 dips, didn't ever think anything of it I guess I'm a beast.

I do weighted pull-ups and weighted dips every single time I work out. Some times on a deload I just stick to bodyweight chin-ups, but I always do weighted dips

I'm strong but struggle with pullups, and cannot figure out what the fukking deal is. Is it my height? I'm 6'6, so I have a long way to pull the fukk up. shyt is making me want to get back on a pullup program starting tomorrow.

Longer arms make certain exercises more difficult, but it depends what you're doing. Pronated pull-ups/pull-ups are going to be tough if your back, specifically lats are weak,

Supinated pull-ups/chin-ups put more load on your biceps so you might find them easier since most people tend to have over-developed biceps from lots of curls.

Either one is good because you're still activating your back, If you suck you gotta just do more pull-ups more often in addition to isolated areas that need more development like your lats

 

[Mr210]

The last few times I've done 4 sets of 10 pull up

 

[Pyrexcup]

back and bicep day today, did 4 sets of pullups

 

[TheNig]

i work out at a commercial gym and there are a couple people who look good ect but i hardly ever see anyone doing dips or pullups. both underrated exercises

I'll do the fukk outta some pullups but fukk some dips.

 

[Geek Nasty]

They are very humbling exercises.

Lots of otherwise strong people can't do chinups Joe Frazier apparently couldn't do them

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

Im guess because people can easily do those exercises at home.
