Yes. I have made a ton of back gains just doing pull ups since about 7-8 months ago. Do as many as you can, split up into sets. Do this 3-4 times a week. You will see massive lat gains.
not that guy you answered to, but i do a lot of pullups and chinups. weightened and not. I can do 30 pullups with a good form now, because i wanted to reach monkeymode long before it was a fit meme. I know some muscles a lacking, but in my humble opinion i think my arms are okay

Very impressive, but you only trained chin-ups? If you superset push-up progressions you can have a very respectable physique, it doesn't add much at all to your training.

Oh yeah, I can see that your deltoids are lacking compared to your biceps and forearms. Just a set to failure of lateral raises after every workout would do wonders for your physique.

thanks for the honest advice, here one last pic without pump or poses or whatever, so you can see how it really looks without any amount of trickery, flexing and bullshit and what else.

Yes I can see pull-ups are your favourite lift kek. Cheers fren.
>destroy your doorway
There's always one of these in threads about bars. If you're not a bloatlord, your door frame will be frame. If you're a fat piece of shit flailing your sacks of goyslop around then It'll strain the doorway.
What kind of houses you guys live in , are the doorways that weak I use a friction pull up bar on concrete walls just by the doorway pic related , no sign of any wear plus i also do weighted pull ups upto +25 kg's every alternate month when I am not doing Russian Fighter pull up program , on this thing
My lats are my best lift and its because i had a pullipbar at home during the pandemic
Its a bit of a steep learning curve. If you can do 1, great. If you cant, do negatives until you can do 1 unassisted
As to how many you should do, i wouldnt recommend doing pullups more than 2x a week, so you have enough time to recover.
I like doing them in sets of 3 or 4, as many as you can muster. Currently i do em weighted so ill do maybe 2 or 3 weighted sets and then one non weighted for volume
Yes, 100%. I've been lifting for over a decade and my back/pulling was consistently my weakest lifts and my back was always small/narrow. Wasn't able to overcome that until recently when I said frick it, got picrel, and began doing at least 30 a day no matter what. I do my pullups distributed all throughout the day and sometimes go up to 100... I try to shoot for 6-10 each set. My back has gotten a LOT stronger and bigger, and when I do my back day in the gym I am already able to add weight with a dumbbell and bust out 10 at a time. I think there is a ton to be said for high frequency training of one muscle group
Also as a followup to , if you do pullups every day like I recommend, do a different grip each set. I like to do the widest grip pullups, narrow grip pullups, narrow grip chinups, wide chinups, and then the hammer grip pullups. If you want to avoid forearm problems like
Don't go overboard at first I almost gave myself golfers elbow because my forearms and wrists were compensating for my weakness
had, wrap your thumb over the bar and learn some good cues for activating the lats rather than using Bis/forearms. For one, learn and master scapular movement/retraction... that alone has completely changed my performance for all push/pull lifts. For another, don't think of the exercise as you "pulling yourself up"--- think of it as you driving your elbows down. It really does change it. Also look up some good form directions, because it's amazing how easy it is to do these wrong. A lot of people approach the pullup with their elbows fully flared out, and I have had a lot more success learning to do them with my elbows at 45 degrees from my body, more the way they are positioned for a bench press
Chin ups until you can do 3 sets of 12, then switch to pull-ups until you can do 3 sets of 12, and then do weighted pull-ups slowly increasing weight over time
I just do pull ups/chin-ups with the pull up bar at my home , I repeat Russians fighter pull up program every alternate month.
Currently I can do 18-19 in a row
Ignore everyone else. You put it in a doorway you cross frequently. Every time you pass you do pull ups to max. That’s it. There is nothing else to it. Don’t listen to these morons making something of fricking nothing.

Sure but just get a gym membership for now, trust me.
Frick off homosexual.
Yes. I've gotten huge just with a pullup bar, dip rings, and resistance bands.

You vill pay for seh gym
When covid closed gyms this is all I did with pushups. It won't get you gym built but its still very good for you.
I think when I was mostly using that I did something like 150 twice a week.
Don't go overboard at first I almost gave myself golfers elbow because my forearms and wrists were compensating for my weakness
How can you pull with back and not arms though?
amputation
Most people have weak overhead pulling strength. You can put on some good width with this and some dumbbells to add weight.
You can make good gains but it will absolutely destroy your doorway
Mine stained the paint black but that's solved by duct taping the part that contacts. Otherwise no damage at all.
That's what the damage deposit is for

GOOD MORNING SIR
Ten year old boys and absolute manlets won't have a problem.

do 100
Yes, do weighted though
junk volume
weighted pullups are extremely good. Also OHP is not a replacement for pullup lmao.
There's that reddit autist that did nothing but pullups everyday for like 5 years and had decent gains
just do OHP, non weighted exercises are a meme and you will probably just have bad pullup form
pullups frick up your shoulders
you want to replace a pull excercise with a push excercise?
moron
Probably shouldn't take advice from the guy who thinks OHP is good for lats or that pullups will damage shoulders in some way.
how can someone this clueless feel confident giving suggestions

any of you, just post body
No one cares what you think roid freak
I can do 2-3 chin ups but only one pull up. Should I do chin ups for a while, or negative pull ups?
Chin ups until you can do 3 sets of 12, then switch to pull-ups until you can do 3 sets of 12, and then do weighted pull-ups slowly increasing weight over time
> Switch.
The best gains is Doing pull ups and then grinding out sets of chin ups.
> Pull Up > Chin Up > Pull Up > Chin Up sets etc.
Interesting, might try it out. I just know chins are easier than pull ups so getting good at chins will help get to a good baseline for pull-ups
thanks
1 hour of as many maxed out sets as possible.

You'll be making tendonitis gains in no time!
A simple 3x10 of this gives me insane back doms (turbodyel but still)
yeah but just go to the gym. home workouts just dont hit the same. if ur gym is within walking distance u have no excuse not to go.
Don't listen to him OP, if you buy rings you have all you need to make progress for a year.
