Why?
Is my back weak as shit?
How do I fix this? I practice it but it doesn't get better.
>>35061677
>weighs 210
>benches 275
>deadlifts 365
Sounds to me like you're fat and have a weak back, OP. Lose some weight and work on your back and you may have more success in future.
i feel you bro.
>192lbs
>315 bench
>435 squat

what the fuck /fit/
>>35061685
I'm 6'5", not sure if that's relavent. If anything I'm underweight.
What back exercises? I already do:
> Barbell Row
> Deadlift
> Pull-ups (3x3)
>>35061677
>bench 285
>diddlylift 405
>squat 345
>weigh 153 lbs
>can do 26 strict pull-ups
Are you even trying ?
>>35061735
I didn't start this thread to compete with manlettes, I just want to know other lifts that help with my shitty pull-ups that aren't pull-ups.
>>35061773
5'11, so not really a manlet. Lose some weight fatass
>>35061677
Keep doing partials bro. Keep doing more sets.
I started with 5 pullups, i weighted a bit less than 200lbs. So you'll get there my fellow fitizens, pull ups are just you and the bar, it won't crush you, it won't snap your back.
I was up to 20 at some point, in less than a year. now doing close grip sets of 15, and then sets of 8 with a 25lbs
>>35061677
the heavier you are, the harder bodyweight exercises are
most non-oly powerlifters can only do 10 pullups or something like that

WHEN WILL THEY LEARN?
Im gonna go out on a limb here and say you're overweight you idiot.
you get better at doing pullups by doing pullups. if you want to be able to do more pullups, finish every routine at the gym with as many pullups as you can.
>>35061705
That makes more sense why your dead and bench are so close together in weight. I was criticize, but you're just not built to dl. Do your arms give out before your back does? My biceps burn out before my lats, so I work my whole back before hitting the pull ups so it kinda evens out.
>>35061735
Just fuk of?
>>35061827
>5'11
>not a manlet
You know how many to pick senpai
>>35061827
>5' anything
>not a manlet
Don't forget your calf raises. You gonna need them.
>>35061916
no, my lower back gives out faster than anything. i only started deadlifting about 2 months ago so I wouldn't say I'm "not built" for it.
>>35061713
start adding in negatives.
also maybe your grip strength can't hold your fatass up
>>35061735
When you weigh 153 I'm not surprised. You're fucking tiny.
>>35061984
>>35061880
Again I'm 6'5", if I was any skinnier I'd be a pole.
So there's no supplementary things? I always feel like a piece of shit doing only 3 pull-ups, which I can't even do after a full routine.
>>35062152
Basically any pull exercise.
>>35061827
Ignore the memers 5'11" is above average in every western country, but at 5'11", 153lbs is fucking tiny, I really don't believe those stats at all, you should bulk up to 200lbs and compete if true though, you'd be benching 4pl8 at least.
I'm 6' and weigh about 168lbs and I'm still skinny as hell.
>>35062152
I had a problem where when I was doing rows I had some hardcore lordosis. I was being wayyyyyyyy to protective of my lower back which inhibited my lat activation. How long have you been attempting pullups?
>>35062637
>Be me
>6ft even
>153lbs last November
>164lbs last week
Am I ever gonna make it?
Progress is slow when too shitheaded to find time to go to an actual gym.
>>35062798
What the fuck. The image on my phone was taken vertically. When I clicked on it to upload the thumbnail was vertical. And now it's fuckin' flipped.
I'd say front squat, pull up and strict press tell more about someones fitness than diddly, squat and bench. Thats why all of those 6 are "main" lifts for me.
>>35061984
dude he's six foot fucking five at 210lbs
btw good job on being a giant

You don't know what true suffering is. My Bicep curl is at 43kg right now and if you give me another month i will be able to curl that what I can't even fucking bench.
>>35062637
Not that anon but those stats are reasonable, I'm 70kg/155lbs at 5'10.
205kg bench
157.5kg squat
180kg diddly
Expecting all kinds of strength gains on this bulk.

>>35062798
You'll make it brah, I was around 120lbs mid last year due to some health issues, and it takes time, but you'll make it back up, just really focus on your diet and don't bulk too quickly, keep to 1lb a week.
Go to an actual gym, too, it's important you work out properly with a good diet, otherwise the diet is pointless.
>>35062888
Thanks anon. And a friend of mine was starting to talk about wanting to work out. If I could convince him to go with me, I'd actually have a reason to go.
I physically can not bail if it means disappointing a buddy.
>>35062876
They're really not though, you're both tiny, there's no way you'd be moving numbers like that, even for a 1RM, and would be able to compete seriously at higher weights. Seriously, put those in any calculator, even for someone who might be 5'6" and that weight, they're impressive stats.
>>35062899
If he can actually hit a 205kg bench at 70, he's within spitting distance of a world record.

>>35062899
P.S. I'm only 21 so got a good two years of competing in JNR divisions kek
Marinefag here where pullups are a major part of PFT scoring
Dead serious, just do pullups every single day and in a month you'll be near or at 20. at least 15. Pull ups accrue pretty fast if you stick to it.
Every two days you should be able to do one more pullup
>>35062152
Core strenght.
>tfw can do slow muscle up woth 10kg extra weight
>>35062922
That would prove me wrong if I actually said your lifts were impossible or something, but I didn't, I said they're incredibly unlikely at your weight and height, which that doesn't prove at all.
Also
>being insecure about your appearance
>when there's posts this cringey on there
You just look like an average dude who's hair isn't really thick enough to be as long as you have it.
>>35062922
impressive, but wtf is observational astronomy?
and is 8 strings > 7 strings > 6 strings?
>>35062954
sets till failure i presume? how many? also are shitty half reps counted in the military?
>>35062998
>they're incredibly unlikely at your weight and height, which that doesn't prove at all.
>incredibly unlikely
are you high? i am just a bit heavier, same height and bench 115kg and squat 167.5kg. its not unlikely at all. sometimes i even feel inferior to those on /fit/ because everyone here is better than that desu
>>35063023
Till failure, do as many sets as you can/feel like you need
no kipping, chin above the bar, fully extend your arms at the bottom
Half reps are of course not counted, but we are allowed to do curl ups too, and can even switch grips in the middle of our session for the test while hanging if we want.
We could also go super wide on the pullups if we wanted so that we didnt have to travel as far, but of course thats somewhat difficult and only manelts did that technique.
>>35062998
Your exact words
>you're both tiny, there's no way you'd be moving numbers like that, even for a 1RM, and would be able to compete seriously at higher weights
>there's no way you'd be moving numbers like that
I'm sorry what?
Pic related my weight now after breakfast and drinking loads of water. Woke up at 156.0 after taking a shit.
Anyway you can see by looking at the video I'm tiny and don't weigh much you retard.
>not getting all those intelligence gains from reading
stay pleb.
>>35062999
It's just astronomy, ignore the observational, just the name of the course. Shit's cool as fuck.
And meh, I love 6's and 8's. It's just an extended range, so a 7 string has the same string as a 6 string, but with a lower pitched string, and the same principle with the 8.
>>35063037
max score for pullups/chinups is 20btw
I was able to get 20 while I was in but dont do pull ups anymore lol
I can probably only do about 12 now
>>35062885
>shit lifts
>estat
a summer breeze in late november
jesus christ how do you all suck at pull ups ?
I can do 30 and I only do weighted pullups twice a week
>>35063045
It would prove me wrong if I said you didn't lift that, is what I implied there, which I didn't do, I said you didn't at that weight/height, which a pic of some scales doesn't disprove.
You're right though, I can see you're tiny in that video.
>#fuckreligion
>intelligence
These are the moments I wish I had a fedora folder for.
>>35063034
People here claim stupid shit, sure, but those lifts are nearly always said by someone at around 185lbs at this height.
>>35063058
How the fuck is a 3pl8 bench a shit lift? Or a 4pl8 squat? Those are stronger than 90% of the guys in the gym, let alone most of the population.
>>35063085
i really don't think they are...a 1.5xbw bench and a 2xbw squat are really not that great.
>>35063085
Oh nigga you can't be serious.
>you can't lift that weight at the height/weight
>Ok you can lift it, but there's no proof of your height/weight
>That picture of you stood on your scales proves absolutely nothing anon
I think I'm being baited.
Just because you're insecure about you're lifts in comparison to a 155lb king of manlets anon...
>>35063037
my goal for the end of 2016 is to be able to do 20 pull ups. i assume this is a fairly achievable goal? is this kind of training technique enough back work or is it stupid to abandon rows
>>35063090
it's pretty average at best. But I lift at a powerlifting gym in scandinavia, so I might be a bit biased
>>35063133
Its totally achievable.
Like I said, just focus on doing the pullups. Everything else is noise.
Do. Pullups.
>>35063153
>so I might be a bit biased
>>35062869
You're supposed to bench with both hands.
>>35063130
>your height/weight
>Your height when compared to your weight
>Oh yeah, well here's my lift and my weight on its own
Giving part of the equation when it's the equation altogether that makes the issue isn't really proving anything.
>>35063119
Sure, for someone of a decent weight for their build, a 130lb 6' skelly isn't going to be benching anywhere near 1.5bw, you need to get bigger to get stronger, they're pretty much directly related to each other.
>>35063191
And how do you honestly think I can prove my height on some tibetan weeaboo forum? You're just being irrational as fuck.
Again, you can see from the video I'm not 5'6 or some shit.
You clearly know nothing about neural efficiency. I don't understand why you find it so difficult to believe anybody with similar stats.
>>35063063
tfw your a skelly and lift bodywieght really ez and its all you do at the gym, because you know its hard for the normies and now you look like a sick cunt
>>35063187
HOLY shit really?
My life has been a lie
Do the scooby routine. Worked for me.
>>35061677
Try doing chin ups and lat pulldowns. When I started doing chin ups I could only do 3 half reps and I was a skeleton. Pull ups and chinups are difficult to start the more you weigh.
>>35062841
Don't feel like a giant, I feel like a twig.
>>35062746
A solid 2 months, maybe have improved by 1.
>>35062869
How mother fucker? What's your Routine? Bench is easy, back is hard.
>>35062954
Just do them? By themselves??
>>35062966
Could be, I never ever fucking work core. Is that a big influence?
>>35063037
A perfect pullup like that, I could maybe do 1...
OP here, could my RIDICULOUSLY long ass arns be holding me back on my Pull-ups? I can do like 25 Dips.
>tfw I can do 9 full pullups strict
Thank you lowish bodyweight (185lbs at 6'2")
>>35061713
If you really are 6'5, then what is your bf%? I'm 6'6, but at 10% I weighed 180lbs when I started out(cut from 210).
spend an hour or so on your off days doing some rock climbing, anon
you'll develop quickly
if no rock climbing then add in lat pulldown machine on your workouts
>>35065720
Probably around 15-16%
>>35061713
>I'm 6'5"
thats why your pull ups suck, manlets will always have an easier time to lift their own bodyweight, anyone saying otherwise is a fucking retard
>>35065248
step the fuck up I can do 11 at 200+
negatives will definitly help. also pull downs
>>35062152
follow scooby's tutorial

>Am I ever going to make it?
>those wide girly hips
no
>>35063040
>using your feet to awkwardly hold a dumbbell when you could just stick it between your thighs
why are women so fucking stupid?
Personally I think it's all your body type
Like
>be my friend
>be 190lbs
>barbell row near double body weight
>4 pullups shitty form
And then
>be me
>be 170lbs
>never done a barbell row in my life
>100 pullups a workout
>ten rep sets
>superset with bench/OHP and grip work
I honestly think its just your body type, but I also RDL 230 OHG for reps so..
>be
>>35066291
>>35063040
Holy shit how many fucking pullups can she manage??? I lost count at 39
>>35061677
desu senpai ur back is weak
do more pull ups, more lat pulldown etc
I'm 235 and 25%+ body fat and I can still do 5-6 strict on my first set..then 4...then 3...then 1...then cry and go home.
>>35066361
made me giggle no homo
>>35062152
>if I was any skinnier I'd be a pole.
if you were any skinnier you might actually be skinny.
Guys I just started lifting and in my homegym I have just under 80 kg + bar avalaible.
How come I can do bend over rows with 80 kg but just deadlift a 100 kg?
>>35066202
/thread
>>35061677
It will get better. Excruciatingly slowly though. It's taken me 8 months to progress from 3 consecutive pull ups to 7
Came to this thread to maybe read something I didn't know. Was saddened by all the bullshit.
Mismatching heights, weights, and stats.
Fucking seriously? You expect me to believe that you're 140 lbs., 6'0", and can bench 315 lbs.? C'mon fit, this hyperbole gets old.
>>35061735
Fuck off spider man. The adult men (6'+, 180+) are talking.
>>35062885
>he's sronger than me
>must be estats
lol dyel as fuck desu senpai
>>35061827
>when his height starts with 5
> :/
6'0", 220 lbs. (recently gained a lot of muscle), can do 5 strict widearm. Subsequent sets drop to 4 at a time. I have been working on my fucking pullups from the start of bulking and have not gotten any better, although weight went up and I haven't gotten worse. I've even been doing negatives and extra shit with them. Not sure what's going on with that.
That said, last year I was able to do 20 regular pullups fairly easily at 190 lbs.
>>35061677
Do more pull ups bro
>tfw was 290 at 6'4
>205 now and do 5x5 weighted pullups with a 25 pound pl8
Before I could do weighted pullups I would do let's say
3-3-3-3-3 on my pull days so twice a week then the next week id do 4-3-3-3-3
Then 4-4-3-3-3-3 then 4-4-4-3-3 and so on plus I'd throw in a few sets every day the more you do them the better you get.
But idk I'm 6'4 and my Slav back always been strong as hell all my pulling movements are. But the more you do then the better you get
Ohp
155
Bench
250
Squat
315
Deadlift
455
All ORM
>>35066557
What's funny is that's one of those fat bitches that get all artificially selective on dating sites. That's why I can't use that shit anymore.
I'm 5'11", and all women would say I'm 6'1" if I asked them how tall they think I am. I guess men use Internet height on women and I reap the benefits.
But yeah, in a real scenario, it would be me running away from her, not her turning me down before meeting me.
>>35062977
Man I wanna be able to do a muscle up any tips I'm >>35066568.
>>35062869
i literally did weighted dips with 90 pounds tied to my dick the other day
you aren't strong
>>35061677
> Can Bench 275 lbs
> Can Deadlift 365 lbs
wtf OP I barely bench 225 but I can pull lmao5plates
also 10 pullups @ 205 lbs
>>35066641
The point, nigger, is that all my Lifts are good while the bench is not even enough to bench press a child.
Also you need a good set of triceps to do bench press which I do have but still remain with a sub 1pl8 bench.
>>35064859
PPL routine, senpai. Considering how I am stalling on bench since months and wasnt even able to do proper chin ups in September this year makes it a Greater shame to be where I am right now.
>>35061677
>tfw I can only do one or two real pull ups
I can do like 10 chin ups though. Will just doing more chin ups somehow save my soul?
