asst pullups are sh*t.Originally posted by Taiwanpolitics:act i go gym do assisted pullups better , my counterweight at 43 kg , can do a 10 reps .
i started from 50 kg
i am 65 kg .
65 minus 50 = 15
65 minus 43 = 22
maybe work for a few months then can do le .
this is better than lat .
lat pulldown is pull the weight to u , assisted is pull urself up .
the instructor said my bodyweight if train sure can do .
Yesterday i did 3 sets of weighted pullupsOriginally posted by lpx88:Do abs help in pull up?Izzit just me or i think that i need to use my abs for that final thrust to bring your head over the bar?
So everyday,learn to do 5 sets of static holds 3 times daily.Hang there until your arms give way.Best if you have a bar at home,if not go to the fitness corner at your neighbourhood.By 2-3 weeks,you SHOULD be able to do 1 single chin up.He is NOT asking you to go do one chin up and hang there.If so, he would NOT have mentioned.
Once you can break that zero barrier,you are well on your way.Now,the program is such you do sets of 1 rep again for 3 times daily. Each time,you will do 8 sets of a single rep with 1-2 min break in between.So that's 24 chinups in a single day.

" Once you can break the zero barrier." or
"By 2-3 weeks,you SHOULD be able to do 1 single chin up."
He is just asking you to hang yourself from the bar like those hollywood movies where the hero hangs himself to the helicopter legs.
and machines have little carryover to real life situations.
No hanging does not help, we just ask you to hang for fun.Originally posted by Taiwanpolitics:hanging helps meh ?

Watch the clip from the user which mentions "eccentric abdominal bracing."
You can buy the strength bands from OPT(my mod)...
