Pullup Routine

[Zander1983]

1. Do as many wide-grip pronated pullups as you can. Fail.
2. Do as many medium-grip pronated pullups as you can. Fail.
3. Do as many medium-grip supinated chinups as you can. Fail.
4. Do as many close-grip supinated chinups as you can. Fail.
5. Rest 2-3 minutes. Repeat. Pain

Today I got 8-5-3-1 on my first set and 5-3-2-1 on my second set @ 177lbs BW. Absolute torture.

I am going to try this tonight.

How long do you rest, if there is any, between the different grips?

 

[PolishHammer1977]

This reminds me of when I used to go the gym and do;

10 sets of weighted pull ups. Oh it will build the lats. Btw, my lats are definitely by far the strongest part of my back.

I used to do that routine... got it from MM2K when the magazine was good.

Sounds tough

Rest 2-3 minutes. Repeat. Pain

how many times do u repeat?

 

[Zander1983]

Repeat once. No rest between each variation. Rest after all four variations.

Tried this at the end of my workout.

Palms out, 13, 7. In, 3, 1.
Palms out, 7, 3. In, 2, 1.

Short rests in between grip changes, as I was very fatigued from my workout tonight.

Tried this at the end of my workout.

It is a great finisher for back day & pulling workouts, providing other volume is adjusted accordingly.

i think the mm2k routine had you doing the sets three or four times! accoring to ploiquin, its very humbling when you initially try it, but after six weeks at twice per week the reps should fly.

looks kewl...I will try it on my next back day.....do u start out with it or finish??

 

[Zander1983]

Depends on your priorities. I find that its most effective for your lats. If you want to prioritize them, do it first. If not, it is a great finisher.
