18 Pull Ups - 234 Lbs Bodyweight

not pullups

🆒

Easiest grip of them all!! Come on now do the hard one

In my old age I'm pretty intentional with how I do things. This grip allows me to do pullups without shoulder pain.

@DoctorFibonacci Smart, tore a shoulder tendon doing traditional at similar weight and rep range lol.

@DoctorFibonacci Sometimes when you've been around the block you would just how you do things!

@WiskeyCuinaz @DoctorFibonacci My favorite is when all the inexperienced teenagers give you shit. Like if you’re still lifting in 10 years (probably won’t be) let me know if your stance has changed.. also different things work for different people it’s not cut and dry

Correct. I'm not doing pullups to impress the form police. I'm doing them to develop my back for the sport of Bodybuilding. I do things with intention. To each their own. But when I do a neutral grip there is a reason. When I don't go to extreme range of motion there is a reason. People are funny.

5 at “250lbs” 😂

Legit impressed!

Change your hand grip to a standard pullup and your reps would drop by half. I'm unimpressed with your performance.

🥂

Nice work my man. An excellent hypertrophy movement, as evidenced by your size. Those modified pull-ups are no joke at that size. Keep up the great work

Thanks, Rich. Sometimes it's about finding another way to get something done. This grip hammers my upper lats and shoulder blades in a very good way.

That is impressive.I can barely muster 5 or maybe 7 pull ups on a really good day.I am 65 yrs old and weigh 275.

Not a pull up. Not even close to full extension. 🙄

Correct. And intentional 😉

9 pull ups - 18/2 for those half attempts - Good job 👍

Sounds great!

👍

Best grip by far

IYKYK

🔥💪

Super impressive. In my prime, I could do 19, At 175 pounds.

Thank you. The most I ever did in my prime was 30 then 20 for a total of 50 in two sets.

Half reps easy.

🥂

Is that more of a chin up?

Sure. Whatever they are, they're a great way for me to attack lats without shoulder impingement.

Was asking authentically btw. Well done on those 💪🏻

Haha my bad. Sarcasm meter is askew. I guess you could call them that. For me, literally, they allow me to attack a pull up style movement with minimal pain.

Any huge dude doing pull-ups is always impressive. Most big dudes ONLY do pull downs. Sure they’re not strict but there’s a time and place for strict, light kip, and full kip (muscle ups/crossshit).

I'm just trying to get a bigger back 😔

I was reliably told big guys don’t do pull-ups. What a shame it was all a farce.

Reading comments about ROM, grip, kip.......screw that, this is impressive. Keep up the great work sir!

That ratio is wild. Curious how your grip holds up at that weight on the last few reps.

Grip is fine. It's the upper lats for me that tire out.

Time to see what I got on pullups brother

Be careful, the form police are on patrol!

They always watching brother lol

Not fully retracing the rep..

Correct. And I don't want to.

Impressive. I am victim weight and can only manage 16.

You do know the pull-up community is very delicate?

"Fragile" is a good description

Never mind… momentum

Great work. I consider those chin ups but doesn't matter. You look great!

Gracias

Great work, keep it up.

I respect this

Cool Nice calves btw

Way to go!

Quality pulls 👊🏼 Triggered many too it seems. Wild how everyone is an expert in someone else's abilities!

nice bicep workout bro.

Thank you 💪

Now do one full rep

Based

I love doing chin ups as well. Better on the shoulder then normal pull ups

>kipping >⅔ extensions Impressive but why say 18 pullups when thats not whats happening?

In your mind, correct, that's not what is happening. It's all an illusion!

Oh so its all just weak ragebait then Bit sad

You never have less than 20 degrees of elbow flexion. A proper pull-up is palms away, full extension, pause then chest to bar height. You did exactly zero pull ups.

I didn't realize I was training for your pull ups test! Oh well! Zero pull ups, but big lats!

You’re doing a different exercise. Not wrong, but not pull-ups.

Sure feels like I'm pulling up 😩

Might feel like it but it doesn’t look like it.

I think you did great and look great! I’m almost 50 and have to change how I do some exercises due to different physical issues. Haters gonna hate. They’re weak mentally and physically.

Nobody knows my body better than myself. I tend not to do things that cause pain, or try not to. But still trying to do specific movements that help build muscle.
