Weighted pull ups
rest time between mentioned sets? if u do 10 reps with 5 added u should be able to do like at least 7 with 10 added
That was on different days (same week), so we can assume I was equally rested before each set, thats why Im so confused
My theory is my grip can handle the additional 5, but with 10 it becomes much weaker and unable to hold my weight for long
Heavier weight is harder to lift. Sounds incredible, I know.
What's your weight? Think in %s, for example:
If you weight 100lbs, you're adding +10% with two 5lb plates and that's a lot. You should add in intervals of 6/8%.
I do 7 oull ups, then 4, 4, 2, then like 8 with a band. I cannot get these fricking numbers any higher for weeks now.
What should I do? I want to reach 12.
Thats why I added some weight
Ive been stuck at 9-10 for several weeks now, hope the weights will give me some kind of a boost
Yeah, I was thinking about getting a belt or a vest, but sometimes I feel like I'm hoarding too much lifting gadget.
If your goal is max reps rather than max load, then "greasing the groove" approach works great:
Let's say your max is 8 reps. Every 30 minutes or so do a single set of half of that, which is 4. It's gonna be easy and you'll be tempted to do 5 or 6, but don't. The point is you'll be doing this the entire day for a few days and you do not want to accumulate much fatigue.
After a few days of that test your max again and observe it increase magically.
It's sounds like emom.
I'll give it a go, thanks!
Although I was thinking: isn't this a ticket to tendonitis city?
I don't know, I guess it might be for some, depending on body weight, form, anatomical predispositions and tendon conditioning. It never was for me, but I've been doing a frickton of hangs, pull-ups and chin-ups every day ever since I got a bar as a skinny 10 year old kid, so YMMV.
i can do like 15 bodyweight chinups per set and 8 weighted pullups max with 10kg weight
Something weird happened recently.
After doing 15 chinups reps (barely) i felt lightheaded as frick and my tummy felt "weird". I thought - is it hermia? But nothing hurts after finishing workout?
Can i get hermia just from overstraining on pullups/chinups? Is it safe to do those till failure?
impossible to get a hernia from bodyweight chinups, you might be straining your neck too much by forcing your chin over the bar, which is pointless. Just keep your chin tucked.
>able to do 12-13 with BW
>able to do 5 with +30kg added
>actually test my max on another day, do one with +40kg added
>do 15 with BW right after
last one is neurological trickery, first one is just differentiation of strength vs strength-endurance which happens at 10+ reps
you have shit form
glad I could help
>able to do 10 lateral raises with 10 kg
>adds another 10kg
>can no longer do 10 lateral raises
someone explain please
Aerodynamics. Your body is becoming too muscular and the wind is holding you back.
Can easily do 5 with 20kg, can barely even do 1 with 40kg, crazy shit.
I really hate how inconsistent the progression on pullups can be
One day I could easily hit 12-13 bw reps and a few days afterwards I'm lucky to hit 8-9
I'm not a broscientist I just wanted to say I really like that image of pepe doing weighted pullups
