[vr6sy]

Great work man

[massibest83]

Perfect form!

[icancanoe]

finally a video of someone doing it right. Great job. I get sick of these monkey's doing all the swinging pull-ups. My best is 35 chin-ups. am working on doing a true ONE ARM pull-up. (no use of other arm in any way).

[riffdude1]

He's not doing it right enough. When he comes down you can clearly see that he does not go slow enough down, what he does when he comes down can hurt you actually. Just a heads up for all of you.

And also, stuqua, it seems like you were a little bit unsure if these was chin-ups or pull-ups. These are chin-ups, since you have your grip that way, the other version is then of course pull up :) (Pull-ups are more difficult apparently).

[stuqua]

@riffdude1

No. You've got it all wrong. A PULL-UP is when you PULL yourself UP until your CHIN is UP above the bar. A CHIN-UP, on the other hand, is when your CHIN comes UP above the bar as a result of you PULLing yourself UP. Pull-ups or chin-ups (whatever you prefer to call them) can be done with an underhand or an overhand or a mixed or (apparatus permitting) a neutral grip.

@stuqua Do some research retard....... Pull up = Overhand grip..... Chin up = Underhand grip. Your descriptions of pull ups and chin ups are exactly the same anyway, both involve pulling your chin over the bar..... Which begs the question, what are you talking about?

[stuqua]

@pennthebaker Research? I wasn't aware that anyone had conducted rigorous scientific experiments to determine whether "pull-up" or "chin-up" is the semantically correct term to employ in description of a movement that involves PULLing one's self UP until one's CHIN is UP above the bar with an underhand or overhand grip. I was under the impression that someone had dogmatically asserted that "pull-up" should be used for movements with an overhand grip and "chin-up" for those with an underhand one.

[pennthebaker]

@stuqua Who said anything about rigorous scientific experiments? I said do some research...... Just to keep it simple for you mate coz i can already see you're a bit of a "know it all" , in this instance research can be as simple as looking at a workout magazine. Anyone who knows anything about calisthenics or even just pull ups will tell you - chin up underhand, pull up overhand.

[pennthebaker]

@stuqua Oh and if this is you in these videos then fair play on the 40kg chin ups.... Thats good strength mate.

[rmsolympic1]

@stuqua You did a great set - 20 with good form and ease, as you showed, is good. As for the diff. between chins and pulls, yeah, theres a difference, with chins (underhand) hitting the biceps more and pull ups (overhand) banging the lats harder. Anyway, as you know you tube is packed with Eiensteins who want to critique everything, including the color of your shoe laces.

[PassByToSayHi]

i started yesterday and i can do 7 chin ups, still long way to go xD,btw i can't do them at your speed.

[Philparkour]

nice man, good form

[dante1st]

Nice job, these are so hard to do. Right now the most I can do is 15, and I started with only being able to do a whopping TWO in a row just a couple months ago.

[stuqua]

Cool. The good thing about pull/chin-ups is that they improve quite quickly, up to a point. When I first started doing them a few years ago, I didn't feel capable of much more than 5, but I just kept doing lots of 5 on a regular basis and before long was able to do about 15. Since then I've bumped it up to around 25 while my weight has increased some 10-15lbs.

[lsisoccer5]

@stuqua do u do them everyday or alternating days

[stuqua]

@lsisoccer5

I have no set-in-stone approach.

[theShimmySheide]

well done, whats your height and weght?

[stuqua]

Cheers. Height is 5'5"; weight is normally a little over 150lbs, but I'm keeping myself a little under 150 so that I can compete in a lighter category in a powerlifting competition next week.
