Listen, don't get me started on those types.

I have just recently started wearing arm sleeves because I've experienced some tennis elbow pain that really killed me whenever I lifted anything.

And recently with the pain i feel in my knees and lower back I am shopping for a belt, but LEG WRAPS? :laff: listen it better be 7 plates
each side before I put them shyts on. Dudes are such clowns

Not knee sleeves, like you slip on to keep your joints warm. I keep them shyts on for squats:whoa:. Creh had on full wraps like we was in a powerlifting meet. Not only that, his shyt was high af like dude in @The ADD 's video. :dahell:


Another clown had 315 on the bar and was squatting to about 45 degrees, his whole body shaking like he was tweaking. :scusthov:

Risk your health going to the gym during rona to half-rep light weight and make no gains brehs. :martin:

When I was just starting out I'd do em "grease the groove"-style: take your max reps with good form and cut that number in half (or even a 1/3). Then do that number for as many sets as you can, whether that's ever 20-30 minutes, every hour on the hour, etc.

The frequent practice will improve your form and the total amount of reps (volume) is greater than just doing like 2-3 max reps sets during your workout.

Once that number becomes nothing you can increase the reps per set and also start doing weighted variations.

At one point I could do sets of 20, 21 from a dead hang, head over the bar. Most I've ever done weighted was like +120 x1. :ld:

Pull-ups are great but I don't fukk with them like that. :heh:

Use static holds at the top after doing your max number of reps. Also take longer rest periods if you need to. Just focus on adding an additional 1-2 reps per week.



Weighted pull ups is one of the things I miss:mjcry:

Well looks like I see what the main issue is:francis:

3 – Lose Fat
Face facts. When you're pulling yourself up, the more you weigh the more resistance you have to overcome.

You must lift roughly 80-85% (maybe more) of your body weight when doing pull-ups. When the arms are extended overhead, you have to lift everything below your elbows to some extent. I say "to some extent" because the movement isn't linear and neither are the joint functions.

So an obvious way to become better at pull-ups is to reduce your body weight! Obviously we don't want to sacrifice muscle mass, so our only option is to lose fat. The leaner you get, the easier pull-ups will become.

Want to buy Stall mats but they probably won't fit in my car, and with the cost to Rent a truck I might as well damn pay the freight cost to get em shipped
