Home lat workout: Pullups with added resistance

Video clip showing how to add resistance to make pullups more difficult. This is the key exercise for building your lats if you are doing home workouts. You can also use a weightlifting belt and chain to hold the weight while doing these pullups. Wait till you can do at least 12 reps with strict form before you start adding weight.

As with any dumbbell exercise, form is key if you want to maximize your muscle building efforts and minimize the chance of injury. Don't use too much weight, if you can't do the exercise slowly then you need to go lighter. Count aloud "one onethousand, two onethousand, three onethousand" on the way up and the way down, if you cant do this on this exercise then you are using too much weight. The reason this exercise method maximizes your muscle growth is because it confines the motion to the muscle you are trying to work out, if your body squirms, swings, and kicks, all you are doing is taking the focus away from the muscle you are trying to exercise.

Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn't have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

It seems these days everybody giving advice is just trying to sell you something. Thanks for the great work!

[scooby1961]

Yor're welcome! As long as people seem to be listening, I'm willing to preach. I just get annoyed that fitness has been turned into a billion-dollar industry and people forget that fitness can be inexpensive/free and fun.

it's refreshing to see someone who's huge and ripped not be a cocky asshole, but instead as chill and nice as you. hopefully you're always like this in person too.
