After doing this exercise for two months, the most wide grip - palms out pull-ups I can do is six. I've been growing and getting stronger in all my other back exercises except this one. Anyone have any tips?
Well, since you growing the resistance is increasing due to the extra bodyweight. So even if you can only do the same number of reps, its with more weight so you are improving.
Try adding a small amount of weight say five or ten pounds and try to get three or so reps. After 3 weeks or so of this take the weights off and see how many you can do. Don't worry if you can only get one or two just keep at it.
Also don't do sets do 50 and however long that it takes you to complete them that is how long you will be at the pull bar.
When doing them don't swing use only your biceps and back. Hold at the top for a count of 1001 and 1 come down twice as slow as you went up pause for a half second at the bottom. Do them that way and I bet you the in couple of weeks you will she major gains.
What the crap?! We can selectively activate certain fibers of our latissimus dorsi through hand placement variation now? When did this happen? Why was I not made aware of this earlier?
one thing is dont go at them half ass, thinking about how bad you suck at them. Attack them like you do your other lifts! A lot of lifting is attitude man...get em
