Ya I agree with uOriginally posted by Simon Dean:I seldom see them doing pull/chin ups??
The only one who does them is Johnie Jackson I think.He can do 3 sets of 12 with 3 plates(Or that is what is stated in the muscletech advert)
The others,I think,they prefer pulldowns or they become too heavy until they cant do that many. -
two main reasons I think -
Alot of them have shoulder problems - not that chins are bad for shoulders just they feel the pain compared to lat pulldown.
Also "off season" tey can weight 300lbs and don't have the strength - remember most bodybuilders are very weak realitive to their size.
ok maybe one more.... because someone told them chins were bad.... -
"Looking fit" dun mean you are strong.
Before I entered NS eons ago,I couldnt even do a single chin up yet I looked the part. -
i am cutting from 112kg to my PRESENT 99kg+ now.Still got about 9 more kgs to go.Height is 1.77m
I tried and could do 2 curl grip pullups
When i was in my 85kg lean state last time 12 reps was no prob..
So weight does play a part i think -
u should have continue doing them even when you are bulking.Originally posted by Simon Dean:i am cutting from 112kg to my PRESENT 99kg+ now.Still got about 9 more kgs to go.Height is 1.77m
