    Pulldowns vs Pullups

    I do both of these. I do shoulder width parallel grip pullups...I've tried wider grip palms away grip but basically I'm too weak/shit at it, so I stick with what I can do. I can do 10-11 reps and haven't tried adding weight yet. I've always read that pullups are superior to pulldowns but I find...

    Bodyweight exercises are a big part of my workouts, I chin up and pull up 3x a week and do dips twice a week. Previous to working out I could chin up maybe 3 reps and i've gone from that to around 3 sets of 5 since starting, same with pull ups except I could barely do 1. Dips are a little...

    Pull-ups: 3 sets to failure or add weight if completing more than 15 reps.

    Hey, taken from Mark Rippetoe's Practical Programming Novice Program, can someone please explain to me whether this means I should only add weight to pullups when i can do more than 15 in a single set or when I can do more than 15 across three sets (ie. 3x5). I tried googling and can't find the...

    Chinups vs. pullups

    What is the difference between chinups and pullups? Other than pullups are meant to be "harder". The only thing that i know is that are meant to work the same muscles, but at difference proportions Which muscles get worked hardest with each one?
