chin-ups and pull-ups

b0t23

not long ago I got a door gym pull up bar that goes in your doorway and started doing all sorts of pullups and chinups and such.

tonight I did 10 dead hang chin ups with pretty good form
and 6 wide grip pullups

those are the only two grips I tested.


I normally do sets of all the grips along with hanging leg raises and L hang pullups.


A few months ago I struggled to 1 of the easiest kind of pullups.


feels good to make progress.

I have yet to get to that point in my new lifting regime - but I expect I will find it nearly impossible. What you have done is very impressive - keep it up!

Which one do you have? I've seen them at Target but have seen some negative reviews online about ones that fall apart.

Congrats on your progress!

the one I have is the "Creative Fitness Door Gym" off of amazon

it is quite sturdy

my 290 lb friend even hung from it.



i rarely test my max and even doing 10 chinups today was after a long day of work where I was loading a truck with computer parts all day. I also had already done two sets of pullups.

I mostly do sets of 5 and alternate some extras of other grips.

Even just doing a Negative pullups where you start above the bar and lower yourself down, is really great for your arms and back muscles.
