Thunderbird Chin-Ups / Pull-Ups (Back, Lats, Biceps & Abs)

[MrWolverine696969]

Great exercise for beginners who can't do full pull ups and want to increase their strength and also for advance people to overload at the end of their normal set. The egotistical negative comments left on this page are left from sad people who don't realise that the eccentric phase of an exercise is actually when you are building muslce anyway so they should be included in your workout.

i allways try to do pullups coz i hear it's great with detailing the back, and right now im tryna add detail, but i cant do them, i get like 8 reps and im fucked, with just my bodyweight!

it's shit.

[angrygunsmith]

interesting variation, great for some of the bigger guys who have trouble doing pullups.

[XowntXihqX]

those r called negative chin ups lol they do work the lats depending on ur form/ how u r doing em, but certainly not the back..

[rmsolympic1]

Good video; I think even an advanced person could do well with these, perhaps adding weights or lenghtening the descent time, such that they clhallenge their muscles.

[SmoootHman]

it's a great exercise if you cant do many series of pull-ups. respect

[nirose9]

no harm meant!!!!!!although not you tube status!!!but keep it up kid!!!!

[FizzycalFitness]

Absolutely no offence taken!

Ain't youtube for all? Starters, beginners, journeymen, professionals, experts, freaks etc?

The basics are a good place for any "kid" to start?

[nirose9]

wow....thats garbage

[FizzycalFitness]

Nirose9 some people have got to start somewhere!? Negatives or Thunderbirds are a pretty decent starting point - don't you reckon? Certainly helped me so thought I'd post it for non-bar experts not like yourself!

V.impressive pulls and muscle ups you've posted!

any tips for a good set of wings?

[FizzycalFitness]

Concentrate on pull-ups and chins! Vary your grips as well!

Hey i Dont know if you read this but Im trying too improve my pulls up to 20 im hitting 10-11 as of now im training to be a marine officer and need tips to get up to 20 i heard a pyramid scheme works good with pull ups any advice would thanx

[FizzycalFitness]

The biggest mistake people make is they train to failure. You want to do multiple sets, stopping 2-3 reps shy of failure each time and rest for max 5mins between sets. Try to do this everyday. Google HFT "Hgh Frequency Training"! Another tip is to have your palms facing away from you. This works your grip more which is what tends to fatigue first! Hope that helps?

[FizzycalFitness]

Plus concentrate on narrow grip! Once you can do loads of those switch to sholder width or wider!!!

FizzycalFitness...I really enjoy your videos and they're such a great inspiration. I'm slowly trying to get away from weights and go strictly body weight. I read the book, "The Art of Expressing The Human Body" by Bruce Lee and he says its good to do "Both" . I've seen Metaphysics from the Bartendaz and he touches NO WEIGHTS ! Awesome. Which is truly best ? Both or just strictly body weight ?  Also is there a formula to developing pull-ups ?

[FizzycalFitness]

Thanx cirethgr8! I like Bruce's way of thinking - mix it up! Checkout my pull up advice above.

To tell you the truth, I can beat anyone in the world!!!
