Why do people hardly do pullups or dips

[Ghanaian Armor]

I don't like dips but I've been improving my pull-up game. Have increased the size and strength of my upper lats. I don't go too hard so it will probably take a few years to get to really swole status there along with my other routines.

I have noticed since I started though even if I sleep funny I don't get cricks in my neck anymore. Stronger lats make for a stronger neck I think. But that could also be from the extra calcium I'm taking (I don't eat dairy or drink milk so I've been kind of deficient there).

For one; pullups are difficult and if done incorrectly (just once) can fukk up your back completely. Plus there are better alternatives at the gym. Machines made just to target the chest and back.

do you, friend?

He's honestly better off doing squats and just push ups, burpees are nice to look at, but his lower back and knees are gonna be fukked later on.

pullups are very risk free unless you have pre-existing issues

As most Americans do already. One of the major problems with the Exercise is that people don't know when to stop, they think doing 100 of them is "just fine" not realizing that they could worsen an existing condition.

Most elderly people walk around the same whether or not they were athletic in their youth friend.

No but ideally it shouldn't be a primary movement. If for some reason you are limited to that then it's better than nothing.

you're a pretty reliable and credible guy about gym knowledge, and tips for bigger traps (including those on the lower back, cnt do power cleans either)

Most Americans can't get close to doing a hundred in a session
