Weird it's not working - not sure if it's on my end or what.

How do you all work in pull-ups - or - is it pretty much all you do when you DO DO pull ups?

I guess I'm asking if there's a rep/set series you all do...?
I do them on back day. I typically start with deadlifts, then I'll do a pulldown motion exercise and a row exercise. Pull ups would be an example of a pulldown movement.

Try to get to 50 by doing as many as you can at a time. For example, do as many as you can in the first set (say 12). Then in the second set do as many as you can (say 10 this time). This now adds up to 22. Keep doing that until you get 50.

I recently parted ways with that girl. I've been working like you wouldn't believe - I'll post a photo in another week or so - I'm starting to see some results, I think this pull up bar is really helping what I was already doing.

Right now I do 5 sets of 20x of knuckles down and 20 sets of five knuckle up. That's the usual sitting for me - so far. Plus I usually do them intermittently at work on the industrial rolling ladder thingy.

Do you guys ever dedicate 20-30 mins to stretching after the work out? or tell me how you massage stretching into your routine.

Thanks.

Oh ok you are better at them than I thought.

Do this: get a belt that has a chain for hanging plates from. Start doing your pullups with a 25 lb plate. Increase or decrease weight as needed. The belt is good for dips as well.

I should, but I dont. It'd probably help with my excessively stiff hip, claves, and hams from sitting at my desk all day.

What about simply weighted belts - do they make them heavy like that or only for aerobics style crap??

I do a variety of rep schemes but usually weighted pullups first with maybe one set of just bodyweight at the end. This always goes on my upper days which I arrange as Upper Horizontal (bench/rows) and Upper Vertical (military press/pullups/dips) with accessory work filing in the rest of the workout.

I don't think they'd be heavy enough to make a big difference in your pullups.

BTW, this is what I'm talking about if you don't already know.

Before, during, and after.

But nowhere near 20 minutes.

yeah ok - thanks - yeah that pull up bar that guy is using in the photo is badass - looks ergonomically nice.

Yeah man - I'm stoked with this thing I got - actually bought it at Walmart (which i generally hate) and it's a very nice thing to own, seeing some great response. I can honestly say - out of all my gadget-like work out aids (kettles, ab wheel etc) these are the best bang for the buck. Yeah the weighted pull-ups looks like that's what's up.

Weighted pullups are much more beneficial especially since you are banging out so many with your bodyweight. Hit them hard and you'll have those wings!

Add a way to do weighted dips somewhere and you are golden for two of the best upper body exercises after Bench and Military Press.

Dead hang military style pullups? Jeezus.

You're already a beast and should just move to weighted for sure.
