Pull ups. Anonymous
I need to do more chin ups. I can do only one dead hand pullup with a close grip, but I'd like to be able to do at least 8 dead hang chin ups with a wide grip. How can I get to this point? Using the manlier grip, I can do 2 sets of 8 with 20 lbs of assistance.

tl;dr : How can I quickly increase my chin up numbers?

Don't use the assist machine you fag. Go to a playground and hit the monkey bars.

Pretty much this. If you have a bar hanging in a doorway just do your max reps every time you walk by it or something. I can't even piss without having to do two sets due to going in and out of my room.

But shouldn't I give my muscles a day to heal?

If you can only do one dead hand pullup, I doubt you'd get sore enough to need rest.

Wouldn't you have to because it is pretty much a maximum effort? You can't max on on bench every day...

Alright then rest if you feel you should. (soreness)

But if you're not sore then you're just trying to skip out on your workouts, and shouldn't even bother.

So just be a manly man and all is fine.

No.

Chances are your muscles are strong enough to do more than one pullup, but your CNS isn't. Until your CNS catches up to your muscles, it's not a hard effort.

this question always gets asked, isnt the answer obvious? it doesnt matter how many reps/sets you do, just fucking DO MORE chin ups/pull ups and you WILL improve.
