Big guys who can't do chinups....
-
Big in this case not equal fat or even plump...Big here means relatively buff,looks like the type who works out...
Met any???
I have seen a few of such species.
-
some people got heavy bones, so although they got muscle, they still cant do chin ups.
-
for the time being, me.
Bulking cycle la now
so i am kinda fat.
When in my lean state can do 10 reps of 3 sets(unweighted) -
So you don't belong to this category since you say you're fat...Originally posted by Simon Dean:for the time being, me.

I have seen guys who are definitely not bulking(can see the definition and all) reach failure at 4 reps... -
I have to keep working at them - I don't know if you would call me big 5'10" 225lbs but I can do chins, pullups, etc with at least 60lbs.
I think technique is one of the problems I see with this movement.
What I find funny though is when a skinny guy (120lbs) jumps up and reps out on the chins - let him add 165lbs and see how many they can do.
No matter what bodyweight I think you should be able to do 5 reps with 50lbs as a min. -
One thing about weighted chins is that you won't improve your max bodyweight chin up figures drastically if all you do are the weighted version.
Even if your plates on the dip belt keep increasing,you won't really improve your max BW reps by a lot...
This was what I found out... -
that one is more of an endurance issue i guess.Originally posted by Marco_Simone:One thing about weighted chins is that you won't improve your max bodyweight chin up figures drastically if all you do are the weighted version.

Ya,I think asking those canoeist guys who train exclusively using bodyweight chins to do weighted versions. They would struggle too.Originally posted by Simon Dean:that one is more of an endurance issue i guess.
Ask a 100m sprinter to do a 400m run.Though he would perform competently,he won't be breaking any world records in it.
