Thanks for all the advice, much appreciated.
I just built a nice high pullup bar in my backyard so I will have access to it all the time now which should help.
I like Pavel's ladder because it would increase my volume by quite a bit. To this I think I will add a few sets of weighted low rep work and the static hold/a few negatives here and there.
I will formulate a extremely basic program and let you know the results.
Any tips on grip ? I use the classic hook grip for my Oly lifts which gives awesome grip but tends to hurt my wrists and I feel is less effective when doing pullups, probably because the bar is slightly thicker. I have been using the thumbs on top grip like you would for a back squat but this doesn't seem optimal.
Any thoughts?
great link, ill be doing this for back this friday
The quickest way to get better at chins is shed any excess fat.
Chins are a great measure of relative strength. If you are poor at chins you are either too weak, too fat or both.
I don't think I'm weak or fat ? I can lift significant numbers on the Olympic Lifts and Back Squat so I'm definitely not weak, and I would estimate I'm less than 15% body fat. Any other ideas ?
