Anyone working on pull ups?

im trash at them but definitely know theyll get me the gains. especially in my shoulders.

any tips tricks are appreciated

Cop a bar for the crib.

Put it in a doorway you go thru often. Do AMRAP each time you walk thru said doorway

 

[JPS]

I try to do abs after workouts
realistically get to it 2-3x per week. 4 if I’m persistent

For pull-ups, not sure I can ever get to this but want to start working on some of these progressions.

I do not know if this has been posted here, but for those who want more of an athletic workout, gearing toward fitness and strength, this may be a good look for you.

Man bench takes a hit when you drop weight. ****

Big three “numbers” become overrated once you lean out.

Mobility, flexibility, and muscle stamina become key.

Regress them by using bands to assist. Work inverted rows (below). More pulldowns since it's the same pattern. Pullup assistance machines can help. Use varying grips (pronated, neutral, supinated).

Here's a good form tip

You can still have a mean bench at 200 pounds.

Yeah you aren’t gonna have the biggest bench in the gym but for your size you might.

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

Even when you lean out you and maintain, you can still build strength if your program is on point. It’s gonna take longer than someone on a caloric surplus but it is still possible.

@soundview was out here cutting and still hitting PRs lmao

 

[mplsdunk]

Yeah that whole you gotta be bulking to get stronger thing is some of the biggest bs preached.

But I don’t think boss is gonna cut 50 pounds or whatever and have his same strength. That’s a big cut.

His takes away from his physique in my opinion which hurts him even more because he's not top tier genetics.

I think at my peak I did 365x5x5 and I would probably struggle to hit it for one right now. Its not only the weight loss but also my programming, I haven't trained for strength solely in like 2 years.

I touched over 4 plates earlier on shrugs for the first time in years.

I generally hit 225 for 20-30 reps to warm up before cleans and shoulder work.

 

[mplsdunk]

For sure, your strength will bounce back though once you train for it.

I don’t blame you though, once you get that strong it’s not fun anymore. It’s mentally draining. I couldn’t give a damn about numbers anymore, I still lift heavy (for my size ) but I’m not really in it for a one rep max.

All pushing movements do and it sucksssssss

Crazy how squat and DL don’t take a hit at all.

Like everyone said, buy one for the crib and practice at your own discretion.

I gotta learn how to do muscle ups.

 

[SupremeBeing5]

Day 2. IM never stopping. Lol.

Hurt my lower back using a damn belt.

3) Seated Calf Raises 5x15-20
4) Leg Extensions 3x12 ss w/
5) Hamstring Curls 3x12
6) Reverse Crunches
7) Machine Crunches
Leg raises

Wanted to do hack squats, but my lower back was killing me. I hate using belts and only use it when I’m going heavy (to me) on squats.

Even when I deadlift it’s impossible to use it. Feels like my upper body bout to disconnect from my lower body, so I never used it for DL.

I heard Mike Rashid say that he doesn’t lose strength when cutting either.

Yeah no ****! You’re on juice.
