well, you know the rule "It didn't happen if you don't have video or at least a pic" If I managed '1' buck nekkid, I'd have to post a pic of it.
I wonder if I'd get banned for that

One comment on your form, aside from the shoulders which I believe Toby pointed out - it kinda looked like your elbows were flaring out a bit. I like to have them going down, so I have the idea of my forearms going to brush my ribs.
Good work, BTW.

Agree with Vash re the elbows. Some things I've read say to visualise pulling your elbows straight down instead of pulling yourself up.

A way to do assisted pullups is to get some stretch bands and tie each end to the bar. Pull yourself up and put your knees inside the stretch bands. Lower yourself down as the bands stretch and pull yourself up as the band assists. You can make the band shorter or longer for different amounts of assistance. You may also be able to use bicycle inner tubes.
Just a thought to get more reps in. The theory is if you can get more reps, your muscles will remember the motion and you'll be able to do more un-assisted.
Nice handy work by the way. I've got an interesting pullup bar that I made in my garage. I'll take a pic and post.

Not exactly sure what you mean here, but if I'm reading it right, then it's very wrong. You need more strength to do one first - that means negatives, even weighted negatives. When you can do one, do that one then more negatives and keep going until you can do several full ROM reps. Your muscles don't have a memory and NMF (nuero muscular facilitation - you guys have another term for it.... I can't remember it. GTO or something) anyway, that won't help you do more necessarily unless the strength is there. If you do assisted ones and get more reps in, it will help build strength up to a point, but it's nothing to do with memory.Just a thought to get more reps in. The theory is if you can get more reps, your muscles will remember the motion and you'll be able to do more un-assisted.
Just keep plugging away, big bear - you'll get there. And I want to see the first nekkid pullup come from you man. Actually, Ming Yue is at your school, huh? Ask her if she'll post a nekkid pull up pic. I'd ask her myself, but I'm not that crass.

c'mon, I gotta be first at something around here
ok, so the next pic will be of the contraption I concieved of for doing assisted pullup and dips.
Toby, I've been using the 'pull the elbows' down visualization since you said it on another thread...it helps, thanks.
I think at this point I need to work on losing the 20 lbs. that I want/need to lose anyway.
rep wise I'm doing the workout #1 thing so I've been getting a total of 18 reps in my workout. This past saturday I started doing 1-2-3-3-2-1 on the wide grip and 1-2-2-1 on the narrow and normal. So, that means 24.

Oso and I discussed his elbows being pointed out a little last week, but his shoulders are messed up (understatement) and it's painful if not impossible for him to pull his elbows any further into his body.
Oso, what about wide grip - any better/worse on the shoulders?
I still plan on modifying the bar to have a wider grip range but probably won't happen till after th e open house.

In the meanwhile you can just take a board or anything wide enough and some rope or a long towel and drape them over your existing bars for a wider grip.
Granted the grip will be different, but it'll allow you to get wider and concentrate more on your back muscles when doing the pullups. Plus it's something different to toss in the mix, it's always good to try varying grips every so often.
Don't want to hijack OSO's thread but now I'm gonna have to go do research to back up what I said. I was just trying to suggest another way to do a pullup workout. I agree that negatives are best but what is wrong with doing un assisted pullups, then moving to negatives and then doing some assisted pullups? I'll start a new thread.Originally posted by Serpent

Sorry, didn't mean to suggested that assisted pullups were necessarily a bad thing. I was more addressing the memory thing.Originally posted by Chief Fox
