why do u use such a narrow grip for pullups?

 

[JDid23]

EM- didn't seem so narrow to me whatsoever.

it was shoulder width, i thought overhand chins were usually wider than that

i do all my chins with a grip about the same width as andalite uses in this video:

I guess I've always used that grip, it is standard for rock climbing and military stuff. Feels more natural too. When you go wider than shoulder width it does place more stress on your shoulders, and it always feels to me like you lose your strict form (no offense to andalite but he uses a lot of body momentum to get up, I like trying to keep strict form).

Jdid: Damn how did you figure out that those middle fingers were towards you lol Yeah if I was fresh I think I could probably get 10 reps double middle fingers, my fingers are almost as strong as my whole hand. My next goal is to get strict 1 handed pullups, I can do 1 handed pushups, and one handed pullups with my other hand to stabilize, but not strict one's yet

dude your pullups werent strict at all, you didnt go all the way down and you used momentum, none of them were dead hang...

I know but that's because I videoed my last two sets. On my first set of 8 I didn't use momentum once, I had my legs crossed to make sure I didn't use momentum. I used momentum a little on the last set, but not much.

Can't believe you can do pull ups only hanging by a middle finger. I would think that is a tendon wearing to tear.

 

[Andalite]

Dude...those pull-ups were impressive: especially given that you were hanging on just one finger per hand. Sheeeeet!

I rock climb a lot so my hand and finger strength is pretty good, and the main thing is that damn strap digging into my skin lol! But my tendons are pretty well strengthend from climbing so I'm not worried about them. If I ever feel any pain I will stop right away though.

andalite: Thanks! I'm going to take another video of maxing out on thees, and soon maybe i'll do some 1 fingered pullups First comes one handed pullups though lol
