Weighted pull ups have complimented my physique so much that it’s become my best body part. Working on getting super wide grip pull ups weighted but with just body weight easily rep out 10-14. Thank you Alex! Been watching your content since I was 14 now I’m 22 and have ran your free general strength program couple years back and still running it.

I did 3 sets, 6 reps of finger Assisted pull-ups. Arched and lsit. Never have I felt my back like this before. After that I did 3 sets of pull-ups, 10 to 15 reps. L sit and arched again. But every set I changed my hand placement. I did wide, Nuetral and supinated. That's final reps demolished my back. As a finisher I did Bent over rows for 2 sets and high rows for 2 sets. Each myo rep match sets. The doms I'm feeling today for tomorrow is phenomenal. Oh and then of course I still did my push workout.

I have been doing this variation a couple of times ever since you and bald omni man mentioned it a year ago, but I only decided to specialize in it now i.e keep it in my rotation longer. And man oh man Alex you were not fucking around when you said this variation would give your lats a sensation it has never felt before... this is only the second week, managed to hit 10,10,9,8 reps(bw obviously). And I am hooked. The stimulus to fatigue ratio is excellent, way better than any other grip so far. I have been looking forward to a good variation for volume day and this is without a doubt the right one. Can't wait to do the swissies version next week!

I can't even do 5 pull up six months ago. And now I can do 8 full rom reps for 4 sets. Can't wait to do the weighted version after I got the strap for weight.

How did you progress?

@18_wheeler Год назад

@@QASSHE First of all my bodyweight is 68kgs, relatively light. I start with training lats twice per week. Pull up and lats pulldown. I progress through hold the negative of the pull up. You can also progress through assistance pull up machine. Resistance band pull up. I also train my upper back with rows and reverse pec deck/ face pull. Rows variation exercise also helps with the upper back muscle growth. Hyperextension/ back extension helps with lower back & spinal erectus development. Romanian deadlift/ rack pull also helps with whole back development. Make sure you practice this exercise with good technique. You if you have limited time you can start practice the exercise once per week. 1. Full range of motion 2. Practice technique 3. Quality reps is better than sloppy reps.

Great video and I agree wide grip pullups are fantastic. Dorian Yates believes close grip chins are the best though, and Ive gotten results from those too. I’d link to the article but my previous comment, which included it, got deleted right away.

I remember during a live stream you said you enjoyed a plant dominant diet because of the longitivy benefits. I wonder if a whole30 diet has simliar benefits? And can the whole30 diet be used for fatloss instead of tracking calories to ensure that you're in a deficit or is this diet just another fad?
