I'm going to do 10 pullups in sets of 1.
I'm going to do 10 pullups in sets of 1.
100 pullups is a part of every back day for me. I break it up with a third wide grip, a third neutral grip, and a third with a supinated grip. That changes the focus from a more lat dominant exercise increasingly to bicep dominant. The neutral grip hits the brachialis which gives the bicep more girth and it also involves the brachioradialis of the forearm not to mention all of the flexor muscles of the forearm. Never skip pullups.

I use a 10lb 50 inch metal rod to work my forearms, if you hold it from the end, the leverage multiplies its weight. Hold with two hands and use the end to trace a circle. I pretend I'm a steam locomotive moving the wheels on the train, chuga chuga chuga.

I usually do 30 a day with different grips. 100 a day is a lot for me but I'm working towards it, that's impressive.

Just start with 100 even if it takes all day. Then start working on the time.

Im fortunate to live by the ocean. Daily burpees in the water is easy due to salt water and as you know, beneficial!

I used to do 3 sets of 20 wide grip before my back workout, then the gym went full NWO. Now I do what I can with dumbells and a bench at home, plus a treadmill and Eleptical. I feel like shit if I miss 3 days of exercise.

Me too, 3 days of not using a particular muscle group and it starts to almost hurt and I immediately start to realize how shitty it is for your joints to never exercise.

Do 10 really good ones. It's better than 100 half assed ones. Extend your arms fully then rotate your shoulder muscles and pull yourself up to your chin slowly, then extend all the way and repeat. Bonus points if you keep your legs still and don't crunch your abs.

I used to be a tool and sacrifice form for reps because retard. Going slow is the only way. Reps 97-100 got rough so I stopped. And re-did an extra set of 5 after a bit.

Not bracing your abs creates energy leak that dramatically weakens your form. For example, try benching without squeezing the shit out of the bar, you'll see the difference.

Don't bench press, I get enough of a workout removing lug nuts on large construction equipment and 18-wheelers.

Yeah but if you crunch your abs you swing your legs up taking effort off your arms.

Crunching and tensing/bracing are different things, but you definitely don't want to do crossfit style pullups where you sling yourself up with the momentum, that's gross.

Isn't that kind of hard on the elbows?

If your form is good it's not bad. If you do retarded crossfit kips, then yeah, it's horrible for your shoulders and elbows.
