hit this new PR of 15 pull ups a week or two ago but first time capturing on camera 💪

it's not uncommon for me to hit a pr and then for the next few times only be able to get like 75% of the reps, but i just keep doing them everyday and little by little it gets easier

honestly the only time i’ve actually watched that tv lol

Do I need better form? These feel like 9/10ths pull-ups.

Hell yeah.

What's your pull up training look like?

I do 100 pullups every other day, 10x10 varying grips but I'm hitting a wall for my PR at 20. Feels like I either need more volume, better form, or I need to start doing weighted pullups.

Thanks. Will try heavier lat pulldowns first. They've never been my favorite so I've definitely ignored them over the years. But need something to break the plateau and weighted pullups are too inconvenient to me in comparison.

hell yeah that’s great! 

i do a fresh set to start every workout just cause their fun for me. then if im on a back day ill do 4 sets of 10-15 pull ups. 

weighted will definitely help you for sure. i do these irregularly but they are good for muscle growth.

also i hit lat pull downs really heavy. got a 3 rep PR of 125% my body weight the other day. and usually train this one 5-6 sets depending on reps. this has helped a ton for me

Hell yeah.

I personally prefer using this type of straps though there are various with own pros and cons

def not all the time! but i’m also in the gym for like 2 hours every day hahaha 

and interesting i’ve never actually tried the wrist straps. maybe worth grabbing a pair

I have no clue how people hit PRs so frequently 🤯 Fo me it happens once in several month 🥲

One thing I noticed is that you don’t use any straps to facilitate the grip. Not sure if it is intentionally but they can significantly help to focus on the right muscles during an exercise. It is true for most of pulls, heavy presses also benefit from better wrist stability (though it requires not straps but slightly different thing)
