Hello SwoleShack, what is the best workout and diet type to get to 3x8 Bodyweight Chin-ups?
I am 27 years old, 1.87m, 100kg and currently can do 3x8 assisted chin-up machine chin-ups with 30kg help. I am doing the Reddit Recommended Bodyweight Fitness routine, which is:
3x5-8 vertical pull SS bulgarian split squat
3x5-8 verticacl push SS single leg deadlift
3x5-8 horizontal push SS 3x5-8 horizontal pull
3x8-12 abs SS 3x8-12 obliques SS 3x8-12 lower back
best way is to lose weight, 100kg is too much being a manlet
ok and how do I do that without affecting my strength level?
You're borderline obese.
>what is the best workout and diet type to get to 3x8 Bodyweight Chin-ups?
one set of chinups every day to failure
by training
wouldn't that be hard to recover from? shouldn't I have at least one day rest between sets?
>wouldn't that be hard to recover from? shouldn't I have at least one day rest between sets?
try it out yourself
every single time I see someone struggling with pullups or whatever it's because they are following cookie cutter leddit shit
even if you did 1 set every day to failure you'd be resting 23 hours, 59 minutes between sets
you're resting already every minute of the day you aren't training, stop limiting yourself and achieve your human potential.
Where does non manlet start for you?
187cm is above average in every country.
probably a manlet himself trying to bring the standards ridiculously up so that he'll be less lonely kek
Lose weight. Recommended exercises: fork putdowns x failure. Also do chins every day, look up greasing the groove
How many full ROM unassisted chins can you do right now, anon?
I have never used an assisted machine to do chin ups or pull ups. An anon already mentioned greasing the groove, and that's a good method. I think at some point the way to get better doing actual chin ups requires doing more actual chin ups. Unless you can't do any yet, obviously you should stick with other stuff to build up that strength in that case.
Last time I checked fully rested I could do 2, but the last one being kinda sketchy
Not op here,
>I have never used an assisted machine to do chin ups or pull ups
Is using a 15lb resistance band fine though? I mean it's still assisted but you get the full ROM, I think. Right now I do 5x6-8 resistance band pull ups, and "as many sets as necessary to hit 100" Australian pull-ups.
to increase pull up numbers all you need to do is... do more pull ups. no way to cheat
>t. from 0 to 15 bw and 8+20kg
