arched back pullups (where you touch the bar with the chest with max scapula retraction) are better for that v taper aesthetics while hollow body (aka straight body like in the picture) is generally what most people do but it puts less focus on the back
the wider the grip the more your back works, for max arms gains chinups with very narrow grip are the best option

all gamers should do pullups and hangs from a bar because it's good for your back health and posture

>>936291970 (OP)
100% prefer chin ups.

>>936291970 (OP)
>can't do a pullup
>can still pull myself to climb a tree or rock climb
I dun get it.

>>936291971
I do 100 pullups.
10 normal/straight
10 narrow
10 wide
10 "explosive"
10 very slow
10 left arm
10 right arm
30 of dealers choice

>>936291974
>10 left arm
strict OAP? no way nigga
if so mirin

For pull-ups, gymnastics rings > using a bar

>>936291973
whole body != just back and arms
You're using a lot more of your body than you realize. Your core serves a massive role in rock climbing (it's why keeping your feet on the wall is so important). If you train for it, you can do a pull up quickly though and you'll get better at climbing.

>>936291975
nah not straight. choked up on a band or towel. i could get 2/3 straight up but it hurts my rotator cuff

>>936291970 (OP)
I've heard it's better to either have your legs straight, or if that's not possible keep them in front of your body

>>936291974
you need to start adding weight

>>936291976
I would say for pullups specifically it doesn't really matter, people usually almost match their reps on bars when doing them on the rings with the only difference being that you need to train in false grip also
straight/bent arm pushing work on the other hand is where the real difference starts to show
>>936291978
based regardless

>>936291970 (OP)
Good thread

im trying to train endurance

>people usually almost match their reps on bars when doing them on the rings
Is the reverse true? I've been adding pull ups to my gym sessions and have gotten pretty good. I managed to do 3 sets of 10, then started to add weight.
I'm able to do around 3 sets of 7 with 10kg atm, hoping to start moving up and getting 3-4 x 3 with 15kg.
We don't have rings at my gym so I don't have easy access to them, but they look a lot harder than a straight bar.
I'm also really trying and hoping to get a muscle up by the end of the year. My dips are good and my pull ups are pretty good, but getting my arms over the bar to move from pull up to dip is really hard.
I also dislocated my shoulder snowboarding last year and while it's back to being fine, I think I'm still a little cautious so it doesn't happen again.
If I got a muscle up, I'd rush home and jack off till I bled.

Never mind, I can't fucking read because I'm retarded, you said that going bar -> rings, people can generally do a similar amount.
My bad.

thanks op I only do chin ups because they're easier but I tried a pull up with those instructions and it was surprisingly easy

>>936291984
>I'm also really trying and hoping to get a muscle up by the end of the year
anon generally if you are strong enough to do a 50%BW weighted pullup you will do a muscle up pretty much effortlessly if we are talking about a strict muscle up from a hanging position no kipping and no swinging
also I wouldn't rush like that and jump straight on weighted dips and pullups, with or without rings if you can't do at least 15-20 pullups and 20-25 dips with strict form
tendons take much longer to adapt than muscles, spend at least 2-3 weeks with the same weight before moving up because otherwise it's a road straight to snap city, you might have been lucky this time with your inury but you might not be the next time

I am 40 and can do 10 pull ups

>>936291974
if you do 100 pull ups in a row you are not doing pull ups

>>936291970 (OP)
The more muscle you put on the less pull ups you can do, making them incredibly useless outside of crossfit companies charging 200$ a month to use their pullup bars.

For me, it's dips

>>936291970 (OP)
Perfect pull-ups are done with your legs forward as if you were climbing up a wall, some inclination almost as if you were doing a reverse bench press, speaking of bench press it's not about the chin it's about trying your best at touching your upper chest
Something like this

Why is there /fit/ posting on /v/?

>>936291992

Why is some dude making an animated video about it instead of just doing it himself.
Deeply unserious.

if your arms don't extend to maximum when you go down its not a pullup

This is the ring muscle-up version of that. This is the best pull-up you can possibly do with both hands

Is there a handy chart for weightless squats?
I can do it fine with the balance from weights, but I feel like my knees are giving out when I squat without them.

I don't think I can do a single pull up, but I've tried doing cable pull downs in the gym and I don't feel my back working at all. I'm not sure how to word it. With other exercises I feel the muscle I want to target working, I feel the blood rushing, I feel a burning sensation as I go on, and in the end I feel how it gives up. With pulldowns i get fatigued and have to stop too but at no point I feel the lats.

>>936292001
you are not allowed to have an opinion if you don't have a six pack, a v taper, visible veins and you and can't do 10 pullups, if you are a fat slob then you shit at fitness and more likely than not shit at video games
roidtrannies and powerfatties need not apply
fat also kills your test

>>936292003
Learn to flex your lats in front of a mirror. That helped for me.

>>936292003
try hanging "scapula shrugs" or "active hang" from a bar

>>936292002
Why would you want to do weightless squats? There are great leg calisthenic workouts like sissy squats, pistol squats, shrimp squats and the duck walk. But i see no reason why someone would want to do regular squats without weight

>>936292002
I can't do weightless squats because it feels wrong. I remember carrying a heavy backpack for years and the moment I had nothing in it something felt very unconventional. So I stuffed it with a first aid kid and other nonsense.

>tfw want to do pullups but don't want to go outside
last time I tried to do them indoors, door frame got fucking deformed and I don't want to drill holes in my apartment

>>936291970 (OP)
Funny thing is it still doesn't show a perfect pull up. Perfect pullup ends with you touching the bar with your chest.
>>936291972
Chin ups are for biceps

/fit/ out

>>936292009
The outside world is not that scary. Just go in the middle of the night if you're that afraid of people.

>>936291970 (OP)
i can do about 18 of these. trying to get to 20.

>>936292007
I stopped exercising for a while and wanted to check my form for the basic exercises. So far:
>corrected my form for push-ups and bought bars for dips
>evolved sit-ups into crunches
As the leg exercise, squats are the only one left to double check. I bought a refurbished rowing machine and it feels really nice to use, so I don't know if that renders these 3 null.

YOU HAD ONE FUCKING JOB

Any advice for abs boys? Ive been working out consistently. Usually go every day of the week. I usually run a 5k or do kickboxing practice before weights or just general workout. I got an agressive v taper and the top abs are toning kinda but i feel ive plateaued. What do you guys suggest?

>>936292397
Weighted situps my guy

>>936292136
l was about to post the same thing

>>936292524
>>936292998
What kind of weight do you you guys use? barbell? kettle? Plate? what weight should i start?Dumb questions i know but im not superknowledgeable and it's a miracale ive been able to change my body so much in the last year. Since I dont know much, I go every day and run always. Appreciate you gys/

>>936291970 (OP)
Adjusting your hand position helps, and lifting your legs forward in synchronous motion with your pull-up builds wonderful core strength, *if* you are able to do it with ease.
You have to be somewhat flexible. Moving your legs side-to-side helps even more.
Inverted push-ups are great too, but you need either great balance or a wall to lean-to in order to execute them.
