Clubber Lang pullups

[MidwestJ]

So in rocky 3 clubber lang was doing pullups on that beam by holding two ropes (1 in each hand) Now that looks like something I could go for as I'm really trying to pump up my back. I think B fold showed some "Cat claws" or some deals that would mimic this in an earlier post

So anyways, what's up with those pullups like that? Anybody done em? Do they rock or what? Does it work different muscles than regular chins?

sounds similar to towel chins, which work grip/forearms also

Those will fry your forearms long before your back burns out until you get stronger. Unless of course you already have a good grip

I swear by towel pull ups. Great for overall back and forearms.

excellent for your grip. and I think B fold wsa using 'talons'

I just started using them about 3 weeks ago and LOVE them! My grip is weak because in the past ive always used straps, so im doing everything and anything possible to strengthen them up...
At the end of the ever set i hold my self up as long as possible just to build alittle more strength in my forearms...So far so good...

Btw-I only use one towel over a chin up bar.Just incase you wanted to know
