pullups..sigh
-
er..yah..tis is my first post here..
im 17 this year and im quite skinny. I can pass all my NAPFA test stations without problems except for my pullups
. Can anyone give me advice on how to train for my pullups so that i can get a silver for my NAPFA and avoid the two extra months of NS? -
lotsa pushups, dips and arm exercise to increase strength...
also stomach and back muscle exercise... they actually help you as there's a technique to it... but do be careful and warm up enough.. i threw out my back and suffered a slipped disc from doing pull-ups
-
thanks for your advice...i have been doing pushups for some time now, only problem is im rather weak and i can only do about 25 pushups max.
-

Eh, from my teacher... he says doing push-ups is ineffective as it uses a different muscle from pull-ups...Originally posted by the Bear:lotsa pushups, dips and arm exercise to increase strength...

There are some machines in the gym that helps in pull-ups if im not wrong... -
woah so much arhz..im feeling very weak...are u skinny too?Originally posted by SBS9828X:me sec 1 and can do max 50+ u must train leh but i cannot do pull ups -
er..what kind of machine are you talking about? i have never heard of it..
-
so does pushups actually help or not? Can someone please help me out here...i really hope to be able to do pullups
-
those that focuses more on the pulling action than the pushing action... trains the biceps if im not wrong...Originally posted by t88:er..what kind of machine are you talking about? i have never heard of it.. -
hmm... maybe i went about it the wrong way, resulting in my injury
oh well.. go to the gym and ask the instructors.. best thing to do

u just gotta do pull ups to do pull ups...cannot do proper one..do assisted ones -
oh thats very impressive...
actually i did try assisted pull ups because i could not do proper ones...but the sad thing is i could only do 4 assisted pullups.. -
hmm to train just keep trying to do pull up esp the assisted ones. push up dun bother as other pple said its a waste of time. from personal and anecdotal experience it gets easier after being able to do the first one so it makes sense for there to be some technique
-
yeah...well...u gotta do them to actually do them(gotta understand this logic first)Originally posted by t88:oh thats very impressive...

even if its not standard ones at first...sooner or later...ure body gets used to the motion...
and yes...arch ure back abit when u do pull ups.... -
anybody with NS experience can help me out?
-
well...doing pullups even if u cant do them is the way my bmt PS taught us last time...even if they are assisted...Originally posted by t88:anybody with NS experience can help me out?
sooner or later zero fighters can manage to do 20+ -
the problem is that i cannot even go up half way without anybody's help..is it because im too skinny?
-
nah.. probably not enough strength, or technique wrong..Originally posted by t88:the problem is that i cannot even go up half way without anybody's help..is it because im too skinny?
-
im guess that its not enough strength cos my friends always comment on how skinny my arms are
-
body types arent really a good gauge...i know of fit looking ppl who can onli do 8Originally posted by t88:im guess that its not enough strength cos my friends always comment on how skinny my arms are
u gotta really do it religiously..whether it hurts or not...maybe u could try it on the Inclined flex arm hang bar first..do around 4 sets of 30 inclined pullups first...for a week or 2...then try doing proper ones..
u do noe how to use momentum rite? -
ok..thanks once again for your advice..by momentum, do u mean jump up onto the bar then do 1? cos if i was to start hanging on the bar, i cannot do up 1/2 way...
-
nola....Originally posted by t88:ok..thanks once again for your advice..by momentum, do u mean jump up onto the bar then do 1? cos if i was to start hanging on the bar, i cannot do up 1/2 way...
u hang on the bar first wat...where got jump and do one....no kick like that...
once u start doing them,...there is a rythm kinda thing...all u need to do is stick to the rythm and do it smoothly... -
