What are the most memetic exercises, /fit/ ?
Why the fuck would 'stretch' of a muscle matter?
>>36338735
longer ROM, but ops info-graphic doesn't take into account the different leverages of varying grip widths and the change in the movement pattern
>>36338761
> chin ups
> bigger biceps
> pull ups
> bigger forearms
Would do chin ups over pull ups any day, and farmer's walk for forearms
>>36338735
>length-tension relationship
Do chin ups target lats as well as pull ups?
>>36338863
Yes, even more actually.
>pull-up is easily the strongest lift (the only one in which I rank as proficient on ss.com)
>still tiny lats
Somebody explain to me this shit
>see bro dudes do widegrip (full rom is like 20 cm) pullups
wide grip for wide lats AMIRITE?

Enjoy being a latlet baka senpai

I just cannot get better at pull ups.
For whatever reason I find always bail out at 4 and do maybe 4/5 sets of 4. I go for the 5th and...nope.
This has been like that months now.

I'm not sure these are the problem because I never have an issue with grip on diddylifts.
>>36339214
Yeah, it's all graceful and beautiful, but if you wanna have dat cobra back, you need to throw in some BB/DB rows and chin ups. You can get artsy at pull-ups after you have big lats.
I can do 5 sets of 10 of wide grip pullups or regular pullups with 30 pounds added.
Should try something else? I was doing towel grips for a while but they got too easy. im trying to build forearms.
>>36339237
Try lmao1plate pinch for 30 seconds. Report back in tears
>>36339251
Farmer/deadlift walk
>>36339258
not that guy but do you pinch with 4 fingers on one side and your thumb on the other?
anyone try doing pullups with less fingers? is it a bad idea?
ive been warming up lately with using 3 fingers then raising my middle finger to get down to just my middle and pointer finger.
What is a meme exercise, and why are pull-ups/chin-ups in that category?
Any kind of barbell rows
Maybe I am straight up retarded but I don't ever feel like I'm working shit
>>36339115
>130 pound manlets pulling 130 pounds
>why can't I grow guise
>>36339396
Yeah, why?
>>36339404
You'll rip and tear your flexor muscles, don't do it
>>36339431
Binch priss is a king of meme exercises. And read the thread for the pull/chin info.
>>36339435
Row heavier desu
>>36339463 just wondering, I'll give it a shot
>>36339839
It's a very basic old school exercise for dem mad grip gainz.
Start with 10kg / 22lb's to get a hang of it
>>36338735
Muscles tend to be strongest at the most stretched position in a ROM with a few exceptions, which matters if you do partial reps at the end of a set to hit that hypertrophic 12-rep mark. Additionally, a lot of studies now suggest that really nailing your muscle at the stretched ROM encourages hyperplasia.
>>36338632
wait wut?
so pull-ups are inferior for building lats?
>>36339858
Not him, but adding this, thanks. I too am stuck on... three pull ups...
probably like fucking abs
>>36339964
Yes, they are
>>36340026
Add farmer's walk, and weighted dead hangs. Focus on lat activation by going all the way up during pull-up and staying there for as long as possible. Your lats will scream.
I have a couple tips for pullups/chins. First do a fucking warmup...If you just jump on that shit and try to do reps you'll just end up tearing something.
If your gym has an assisted pullup machine then put on enough weight to let you do 20 reps. Wait a min...then do 20 more reps. These shouldn't be hard reps, but enough to get blood to the muscles and warm them up a bit.
Then i usually drop the weight a bit at get 10 more reps that aren't difficult, but prepare the tendons for the working set. I do these prep sets for every other body part. You only have to do it once then do working sets all you want.
NOW you do your working sets with whatever lets you do between 6-10 reps. Do whatever you can on the machine be it narrow/wide/underhand etc... If there's a handle for it USE it. This goes for rows too. You won't get a big back just doing a couple moves...there are alot of different muscles that require different angles in the back.
>>36339197
Do negatives
>>36339964
Look at the context of the picture
Obviously a closer grip is going to provide a larger stretch/ROM
That being said, the chinup utilizes more total muscular activity than the pullup which is the reason that they are easier to perform
So OPs most might as well be:
>wide grip pullups
>>36338832
If you want big arms you need to work your brachialis too. Do both pullups and chinups
>>36340179
Why waste energy on pull-ups when you can hammer curl for the same effect? Also, for big arms one must do dips.
Kind of unrelated but..
4x3 pullups
4x4 chinups
4x5 dumbbell bench press
4x5 dumbbell shoulder press
Just started adding deadlift and squats today. Should I kill myself?
>>36339258
Do you just hold the bar for 30 seconds?
>>36340132
Fucking lel, how weak/fat are you?
I sometimes just do 15-20 reps for no reason on my way from bathroom
>>36339197
every single day 3 sets to failure, then also hit lat pull downs on the cable machine.
>>36340218
Muh compound movement
>>36340220
Drop the pull-ups and shoulder press, start doing overhead press, high bar squats, and conventional/Romanian deadlift.

>>36340301
Muh *pointless* compound movement if your only target is brachialis nigga.
>2016
>not starting with pullups sets and then move to chinups sets to finish
>>36340304
thanks my man
>>36339197
Weighted pull ups
>>36339435
I have the same problem. I feel like I'm not doing enough weight to matter... No burn, nothing. Then I add just 5 pounds and now all the sudden I can't even complete full ROM.
>>36340501
Lack of mind-muscle connection imho
>>36340385
> 2016
> doing meme exercises
>>36339490
You can either do BP or be that antisocial autist who eats his own scabs, smells like shit and refuses to interact with anyone else.
The real meme in CURRENT YEAR is Skwatz. You wouldn't believe how many skinnyfats I see coming in and doing just squats, a few seemingly random DB exercises and pull ups. A whole lot of T-Rexes in waiting.
