I finally can do one pull up after

[Mystyque]

1 shot 23 pull-ups I don’t believe is one Pac

Last time when I was able to do >20 pull ups in a single shot, also don't have 8 packs unless deliberately gek, use hands pull back skin. Even then is just see 6 muscles shape, not sharp/well defined kind. Is different muscle groups lah.

Not true la

Pull up basically depends on the proportion of your hands vs bodyweight. Hence the heavier guys always find it tougher to do it. Which also why some ladies can easily do it

I am 50+ kg very skinny & not strong. But I can do 7-8 pull ups easily without any training (prior to going NS). With training I can do 10-12 pull ups during my NS time. Not cos I am v strong but cos my body is relatively light

My peers esp those big sized one usually struggle with pull ups... but they can much stronger & fitter than me in other areas

Ditto this, even at my peak pull up fitness, the big guys who can barely do 5 would have no problem pulling me apart
It's the ratio of power and grip endurance to body weight; being bigger/heavier makes it much harder.

Calisthenics pull-ups is the best form of excercise. It’s free, available all around HDB, trains your grip strength (longevity), arms, core and back muscles at once.

My advice is just do everyday like in army. Before breakfast, lunch and dinner. Example my house before I buy cai png, I will go to the nearby fitness corner do pull-up. Just 3mins a day do until failure. Confirm will improve one.

Can add in more variants when you can start doing more, my favorite now is the post set 15-15-15. As in once you finish the last rep on the set instead of dropping down, hold it at the top for a certain duration, then drop to a half-hang where your head is just below the overhead bar then hold again, then finally drop to the active deadhang and hold again.

Despite my best efforts I still cannot do 1

No csb

I also cannot

It helps if you install a pull up bar at home. I'm currently cranking 23 reps in a single set (proper form). Been doing this for over 30 years, now more like daily habits.

Keep pushing, you'll progress along the way.

I scared the bar cannot hold my weight and picah. Wait have to repair wall and go horsepeter to repair myself

 

[asymmetric]

I also cannot

u no hope la
