I train with buckets of water hanging from my feet, as a way of adding resistance. Do you suggest I buy a weighting belt, and if so, where would you suggest I buy it from? Do I need any special shirts or other equipment to go with it?
^ Thats one cool stand, i wish i had one like that. Good chins... How long does it take to achieve say 30 chins? I am at around 10 chins max, only when i feel pumped
I don't know. I don't do wide grip overhand. Close grip underhand are more effective for the lats, since the biceps are in a stronger position and don't fatigue as quickly, and the lats are worked through a fuller range of motion.
I did one set of weighted chin ups every workout (training 2 to 3 times per week), with a rep range of 5 to 8 and a moderate speed (no cheating or kipping reps - all full range, all under strict control). I would also occassionally do one or two negatives after reaching failure. Started at 35 and worked my way up to reps with 55. After that, every other workout I would do a few 1RM attempts to see how close I was getting to 100.
That's a Hammer Strength Olympic Power Rack. I purchased it used from a local personal training facility, and later sold it to a personal trainer in Tampa when we got all new equipment.
Pretty sick ! I can do chin ups in one arm *3 or +75 Pounds in both *2 reps but 100 pounds thats sick

Well done! My record is 6 reps with 90 pounds, I'm going to try to see how many I can do with 135 in the next few days.
I have done one arm chins before, I actually have a video up of me doing one, but I haven't done one from dead hang yet....those are insane.

gpj 4 years ago
I'm working on that. Able to do controlled negatives with 1 arm, but not a full chin yet.

you didn't go from a dead-hang. dead-hang=feet hanging, all your weight supported by arms. d'oh!
Kiddin, still a good job.

@wil12345678910liam
I don't do wide-overhand grip, as it's a less effective exercise for the lats and more likely to aggravate the shoulder joint.

What was your regimen building up to this (frequency of workout and what it consisted of)? Good job.

Hanging the weight from your genitals while pulling up is pretty hardcore. <- humour.
