Pull ups are evil

Slow, controlled negatives Chins, will increase your strength and number of reps you can do. Knock out as many as you can do on your own. Take a 1-2 minute break then finish with 1-3 negative Chins.

Unless you can only do 5 pullups at bodyweight, you gotta go weighted. I only do an extra 40 for 5 reps now, but I'm getting up there. Also, bodyweight is increasing, so technically I'm pulling more.

how often did you guys perform your pullups/chin ups per week?

 

[jerkbox]

they get harder as you get heavier....especially when you gain 30 lbs in 3 months....

I live in a small town and lift in my highschools gym, they dont erally have that much, how can i add weight to my pullups?

Lukeb5301 ... you can hold a dumbell between your feet, you would be suprised how much you can hold and keep stable too..not much of a problem. If you have bands..which you probably don't but.... you can just loop it through a plate or 5 , and put it around your neck. Or if you have any small children around just have them hang on your back

Lukeb5301 - you can borrow my 2 kids. i'll start you off with the small one, maybe 35lbs. once your done with him, i want him back. then you can take the larger one, she's maybe 50lbs. i want her back when she's 18. have fun!

in all seriousness, follow the recommendations from the other guys, unless you really want my 2 kids lol
