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.
:male grunting noise:
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.
