    A lot of guys don't do pull ups because of their weight but it's a huge advantage once you can do them they will make you much stronger not to mention adding muscle mass. I was doing sets of 15 at 235 lbs and it changed my whole look. Great video!

    thank you for that comment on rows being basically more useful... most seasoned lifters will tell you that in person but not many on youtube

      @its_james_fitness 4 роки тому +8

      Agree. Vertical pulls are the best lat builders but for overall back development, shoulder stability, and carry over, rows are the go to

    I couldn't even do a pull up a few years ago and now I can get about 5 or 6 at 290 lbs. Something that really helped me that nobody really talks about was basically half reps and then 3/4 reps and so on until I could start from a full dead hang.

    • @madhavgopakumar8597

    Great info as always Matt. I’ve been using the band for some high volume pull up work and the best way I’ve found to attach it is to put the J cups in the rack under the pull up bar and wrap the band around the outside of the J cups. I’ve found this really helpful because I can raise and lower the band to get more or less assistance as needed, plus it’s much less likely to bust you in the face!!

    Great tips thanks! Do you like using a box to get up and do negatives? They’re tough but I think very effective as well-sometimes can only do a couple slow but they helped me get my pull-ups back up after a significant nerve injury and subsequent lat weakness. Single arm rows were big as well

And most of them do 14-16max if they are 115kg+. As I said - no hate. Imho with your weight that's just not possibile. I'm amazed by your content and I know you're world class powerlifter. Alot of respect to you sir. ALOT. But 25 strict pullups is impossible at that point. My previous comment wasnt too polite - my apologies
