Narrow Grip Pullups for Lats

http://www.scoobysworkshop.com
This video shows how to do a close grip pullup, another excellent exercise for lats. In addition, in this video I show you how to quickly build a cheap set of handles that allow you to do these close grip pullups virtually anywhere, even from a tree.

When you do these, do the reps very slowly. Try to do 2 seconds up and 2 seconds down with no swinging or jerking. Go all the way up and all the way down but keep your shoulders stationary, dont totally relax when hanging and stretch the shoulder out of joint.

This exercise can be used as part of your intermediate or advanced back workouts, please see my website for complete workout suggestions:

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.

This is not directly related to lats. I follow your form and exercises and get good burn in the gym using sensible weights and good form. A person I met recently uses really big weights and does the exercises really fast, maybe 2xReps per second. Even though he moves this fast his form is quite good. He has huge upper-body and seems to have good experience at body building. He says this is the way to go. I'm confused now. slow with less or fast with more, what builds mass faster??

Just because someone is big and muscular does not mean they know what they are talking about, they could also just be lucky or pharmaceutically enhanced. Doing pullups quickly is a recipe for injury

Should I wait a full week for my muscles to rest or can I do a small workout when they are no longer sore.

Thanks and great videos

[scooby1961]

Its a waste of time to do a "small" workout, if you cant give it 110% effort then wait till your muscles are completely recovered. This is just my opinion :)

whats the importance of warmup and stretching exercises for bodybuilding? I just started and never done any sports before i mean programmed and with dedication.

i sometimes hear snappinglike sounds from ankles especially from ankles and shoulders knees too when i do squats

i m 21 and 173cm 77kg

I'm a big believer in warming up with about 5min of low weight sets before hitting the heavy iron. Stretching before lifting weights in my experience causes more injuries than it prevents.

another great scooby video. I´m lucky because i got a free standing chin and dip unit and i can do this ex too. when i´m pushed for time i superset parallel bar dips and chin variations...pumps all the pulling and pushing muscles. GREETINGS from Donny the scotsman in Germany.

Circlular pullups! crazy!

[bigchief812]

Come on.... get a used weight set or join a gym, but this is crazy....

If you are lifting weights, then the pain is normal, your muscles are just recovering. Going for a light jog after lifting weights (or after doing any anaerobic exercise) will help you recover faster because it gets rid of the lactic acid in your body. Give your muscles 48 hours of rest after each workout. One day you work on your upper body, and work on your lower body the second day, and keep switching.

TIP: If your goal is to loose weight, then i suggest that you do cardio exercises.

nasty!

[treakiepop]

Can I just use my pull up bar with my hands in tandem rather than make a handle, or is this dodgy?
