hey quick question in regard to chinups, how to do increase chin up amount? like i'm doing deads, rows and chins but chin up gains seem very very slow. like i went from 3 to 5 over a period of 3 weeks and now i can just barely do 7 reps chins and it's been like 2 months or so since i was able to do 3.
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Do pull ups. Chins emphasize the bicep which has less potential for growth than the back. Do explosive pull ups, don't do pull ups slow. Go all the way up till your neck/top of chest touches bar, at least for the first reps.
Mix up your rep/set scheme.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

chinups are hard to progress on. find a rep range that allows you add weight regularly, and that's usually in the 3-6 rep range for most people.

I do chin ups everyday, at least three times a day. I remember when it was tough to do 2 of them. I can do 8 now, and trying hard for 10. Here's a good tip to do more...
You can't say "This hurts, I'm going to stop now." YOU GOT TO FINISH WHAT YOU SET OUT TO DO!!

Why ??? what will this do besides make them easier and make it easier for him to injure himself ??Do explosive pull ups, don't do pull ups slow
explosive pull ups are extremely technical and advanced..just because you can do them spes doesn't mean they are ideal..I felt like a superstar myself when i learned how to kip...but I don't do them anymore.
A good tip to increase your pull up numbers is to do 30 pull ups, doesn't matter if you only do 1 at a time or 12 at a time, just do what ever it takes to get to 30.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

All lifts should be done fast. How the hell would this cause injury? I am not talking about kip pullups, all the force is generated by the upper body.Drum&Bass said:Why ??? what will this do besides make them easier and make it easier for him to injure himself ??

This has already been discussed http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?t=112424&page=3&highlight=explosive+pullups
If strength is your goal, I would recommend adding weight before you hit 15 reps.

When you're doing them with palms facing you that's a pullup. Progression is harder on chin ups but if you practice both of them your numbers will increase.int3l said:at the moment i'm doing them with the palm facing me, the ones facing out are a lot harder as well. tempo wise it's moderate, none of them are what you'd call explosive but they're not slow either.

A kip-up uses the legs and hips to generate momentum. A pull up only uses to the upper body.Drum&Bass said:whats the difference between an explosive pull up and a pull up..correction whats spes's definition of an explosive pull up.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chin-up
"Chin-ups can be performed with a kip, where the legs and back impart momentum to aid the exercise, or from a dead hang"
Do you even know what it means to 'kip'?
The original 'kip-up': http://www.wikihow.com/Do-a-Kip-up
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I see, when you said explosive pull ups, I thought you literally meant explosive pull ups.Do explosive pull ups, don't do pull ups slow.
you mean Slow coming down (abduction) and Fast coming up (adduction).

Good progress man. The muscle group you're targetting will dictate the type of pull up you're going to be doing. Wide grip chin ups with palms facing away from you are great for back. I love wide grip pull ups. Narrow grip with palms facing you will train bi's/chest more...in the end it depends on what muscle groups you consciously recruit to do the movement.
Just like progress in any other movement, keep overloading and pushing yourself to do more, train with high intensity, and make sure you don't over train. Diet/supplements should be in order. Try getting leaner/lighter as well, this will help your chinups. When I was 180+ I could only do like 10 wide grip pull ups, now at 170-175 I can do 15-20.

^ sounds good
and i'm like 171cm which is like 5'6 i think? (omg, so short...) and i weight 72kg so i'm seriously thinking of losing bodyfat till like 65kgish. In regards to weights i usually try and go as hard as possible but eh, it's hard to guage progress >.>;;

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
