Fitness: RE: Commando Pull Ups Exercise Challenge

To be fair, I made another video using the same grip that Zuzana used. Don't want to win or lose this commando pullup challenge on a technacality.

I've recently been accepted to join the police force so i've been working out quite allot as well. Right now i'm doing 12 pull ups, 5 minute break, 12 again, 5 minute break etc. until i can do no more, usually after 30 minutes, the day after is a rest day since my muscles start to hurt. The question however is, what would you recommend combining this with ? I'm mainly interested in bigger arms. Thank you!

Just get a set of free weights/dumbbells. Do some standard curls and then tricep extensions by pointing your arm straight above your head and doing a curl motion with the arm only its upside down now. Those exercises alone will put nice size on just your arms.

Actually... plenty of people do.

And who asked you?

pullups like that you are suppose to move your head from side to side lol. ...pull up your head to right side of bar...down..then pull up with head to left side of bar

I think the slight advantaged you noticed is due to minor difference in what hand/arm you're used to using (for instance, if you use your right arm for carrying groceries or something, compared to the left). I have no scientific papers or anything to back this up, it's just something I've noticed with myself. My right arm tends to at least feel less sore/tired than my left after carrying things/doing pull ups or whatever it may be.

Lat pulldowns and rows unfortunately aren't the same. The best you can do is sets of pullups, try something like 3 4 5 5 MAX. You'll get better.

great job, love zuzana too

Well, even thou you train the same muscle, If you want to be good at pullups, you have to do pullups. One way to build up pullups is that you do 1, rest, do 2, rest, do 3 and then start over. This way you don't burn yourself out, and still crank out a decent number off pullups with good technique. Alternate between closegrip and widegrip now and then. Do it maybe 3 times a week and try your max after a week or 2, and tell me if you got better =)

ANY SUGGESTIONS?

I have a lot of trouble with pull ups. I find that it requires a lot of bicep/back strength. The irony is that I have no trouble with rowing & sitting pull down exercises (both working the back/biceps) lifitng as much as I weigh! I don't understand why, if I can exercise my biceps/back like this, I should have so much trouble doing regular pull ups. I can barely do 5. some help?
