I said I would upload the video, and I delivered.
For the first four reps, I was bringing my chin above the bar. Obviously, I can't directly see the position of my chin, but I could tell my eyes were way above the bar. The angle makes this difficult to see. The footage was taken from an angle much lower than somebody recording it would've taken.
So, do you guys think this is impressive? I also typically do eight rep sets of shrugs with 225 towards the end of my back and bicep workouts, but if you guys really want to see, I could load up the bar right now to show you.
I weigh 275 and can do 10
I used to be much stronger, but I lost 120 pounds, and some of that weight was obviously in muscle.
I weigh 276 and can do 11
225 and can do 16, took a while though. And it really goes down if bodyweight goes up
I weigh 165 and can do 6 with 90lbs on, so 255, plenty with a pl8, 210.
I do my shrugs with 405-455 normally.
Those are no where near pull-ups but I can’t call you a homosexual for uploading and 95% of fatties out there couldn’t get close to what you did
What is considered a half-rep? I was bringing my chin above the bar. I just tried going as high as I can after reading your post, and I was able to do a couple reps with bringing my entire head without tilting it and most of my neck above the bar.
Your first 4 were half reps.
Don’t try and bullshit us saying your neck was above the bar
Downsize the gut by another 20lb and reupload
I said my chin was above the bar for the first four reps, and I said that after I read your post, I tried to go as high as I could and managed to do two reps bringing my entire head above the bar without tilting it.
Hard to pause it at your highest point but that chin isn’t over
I promise you it's the angle of the video. My head is a bit away from the bar. I don't bring my head right up to it. If I had someone else recording for me, it would've looked better. I realized the video looked like shit after I watched it. First person view would be the best, but I can't just put my phone between my eyes.
>trust me bro
Looking back at it, I brought my chin above the bar for the first two reps. For the rest of the reps, I was only able to bring my eyes above the bar.
all i see is 4 reps so delete SwoleShack please
people intuitively understand spatial geometry and can adjust for the angle and understand where you're at. unless you're fat ass is warping the room's spacetime you're not getting as high as you think
lol
Dude even if you recorded this video by putting the phone below you parallel on the ground we could see if the chin went up the bar, because when you do a full rep you can touch the bar with the bottom or your chin if you lower yourself slowly.
You are at a terrible level of fitness, there is no shame in that, expecially because you are trying to better yourself. So please, stop being so obtuse and accept the criticism.
you did zero reps. cut, you're just a fat fuck with a moderate amount of muscles, but you're ruining it all because it's covered in a disgusting flabby gut
The chin isn't above the bar if you can't hold it there for a second. Not that you have to, but your reps look shit, you were trying to push it up with momentum + leg movement.
Still pretty good for your level of fatness
Half reps and holy shit you look disgusting anon, do PSMF immediately
what is PSMF
what equipment is that?
how the fuck are those above the bar dude
My chin was going above the bar for the first four reps, but it's hard to see in the video.
Your chin was nowhere near the bar you fat sack of shit. This is the weirdest form of ego lifting I’ve ever seen, but like many ego lifters, you don’t use the full range of motion. This is the only response you’ll get from me you fat fucking piece of shit. Cut your hair you loser.
What difference does it make for him if he has long neckbeard hair or a decent haircut if he looks like that lol
>too retarded to make a webm from a half a minute video
>too retarded to realize he did zero reps
The webm would've been lower quality. I've used ffmpeg to make audioless webms for SwoleShack before, so I'm not being some lazy ass by not making one.
a lower quality would have been preferable
>footmodelling.xyz
i saw zero pull ups
>So, do you guys think this is impressive?
not really, but i wish you good luck in getting stronger
Thanks, anon!
It's a lot better than a vast majority of people are able to do, especially at 243 pounds.
However, I think you should focus less on number of reps and more on form. You should do a full range of motion, so drop all the way down, fully extend your arms at the bottom of the movement, then slowly pull yourself up with a controlled, linear movement. You may only be able to do ~20% of your current reps, but you will build much more strength this way.
Still, what you're doing is 9999999x better than doing nothing at all.
>It's a lot better than a vast majority of people are able to do, especially at 243 pounds.
it's really not
Go up to your friends who don’t work out and ask them to do a pull up. Even if they’re young and of reasonable weight by American standards it’s unlikely they can do more than maybe one with bad form.
i was a friend who didn't work out and i could do 5 at 85kg bodyweight untrained. it's simple just don't be an amerilard
Yeah but my post said "at 243lbs"
checked, my post said "It's a lot better than a vast majority of people are able to do", which includes people who don't work out, people who don't have arms, people who are proficient at pullups, and even people who can't read
>Yeah but my post said "at 243lbs"
it didn't you just said my friends wouldn't be able to do 1
Ah yeah, I'm not the anon you were replying to, my mistake.
Go up the reply chain
why would i?
Why would you judge proficiency in pullups by people who don't even do pull-ups? If someone said you were bad at guitar would you say you're not because your friends who don't play guitar cant play a chord?
cut massively you fat fuck and maybe one day you'll achieve a single rep
>Arms very bent at the bottom
>Chin not over the bar, bopping head
>Kipping
You did zero reps
Remember this post whenever you see some dyel on SwoleShack e-statting his:
>OHP (push press)
>bench (hyper arch wide grip 2cm ROM)
>squat (quarter squat)
>pull up (this vid)
>row (power belly bumps)
>diddly (sumo/trap bar coping)
and other cheatable lifts.
What would you say about my form in this old video where I likely weighed around 340? I was eventually able to do 315 for six reps and would do 355 for single rep sets regularly for each workout before deciding to lose some weight. Back then, I was able to do a single pullup the way you see me do the first few reps in the video I posted.
your arm into hand should be straight, your wrist bending back causes you to use more stabalisers in the forearms, it weakens your overall strength. Look up correct hand position and you can help yourself
I just watched this video, and my hand position looks pretty much identical to the ones in these two videos. I can't really see a difference.
?t=510 8:30
My video.
0:24
>315lb for 2 at 340lb
I'm positive that AI becomes inaccurate for higher bodyweights. Even with stuffing your mouth, it's difficult to reach a bench press of 355.
im positive you're a coping fatass
I did it for 10 anon at 235, but I didn't live off a diet of pizza pockets and mountain dew
It's the opposite these websites use user submitted data where the most popular lifts like bench, dead and squat have a heavy beginner bias so they tend to oversell how advanced someone's lift it.
Saying that a 355 bench press for someone who weights 340 puts him in the novice class is retarded. You're a well established lifter if you're lifting that much, regardless of your height.
Lamar Grant benched 352 at 132lbs and pulled over 600.
It looks like he has exceptionally long arms. Did he have some sort of developmental disorder where the rest of his body stopped growing but his arms didn't? He has the arms of a 7-footer. Of course his bench would've been so high.
Having long arms is a disadvantage
in the bench press, what are you talking about?
Tall men tend to perform better at bench press. He had really long arms like a tall man. His arms had more room to put on muscle. You could view the muscle in his arms as not having to struggle as much to gain more.
>His arms had more room to put on muscle. You could view the muscle in his arms as not having to struggle as much to gain more.
I can't tell if you're baiting.
He had unusually long arms, even though he was so short. I can't see any other reason as to why he'd have such an impressive bunch other than his arms were so long, and allowed him to pack on more muscle.
Long arms make bench harder and deads easier. Grant was a freak of nature built for deads with his long ass arms but was still benching 350 at 133lbs. Total freak. He has bad scoliosis and couldn't into sports and he decided he'd train his way healthy and became an absolute monster on weight to power ratio.
But provided
isn't bait, people like this definitely exist and it is humbling. I once had a small guy ask to know when I was done with a rack I was doing rack pulls on, and he came over and told me I didn't need to worry about taking the plates off. He began to pull and shrug my weight rapid fire, without straps, and then started adding plates. I'm fairly big and have decent lifts and this guy looked like he had just done babies' first begginer gains and used to mog the entire gym when he came in.
It's also a fact that weight to power is higher for smaller people. Anyone with a 3x bodyweight dead is a beast, but 150lb guys deading 450 in powerlifting isn't that wild in that niche at all, while Thor and Eddie never had close to 3x bodyweight deads at their peak weights (which would be like 1,300lbs).
I would gladly never bench over 1 plate for the rest of my life in exchange for never getting as fat as you. Thanks Anon, I was kind of sad about losing strength during my cut, but you definitely proved that chasing strength is not the way.
I didn't get fat through permabulking. Believe it or not, I had an OCD habit of drinking tons of kefir at night. I used to keep a cooler next to my bed and chug down tons of kefir whenever I'd wake up in the middle of the night. I quickly stopped this habit when I began losing weight in 2020.
You're rushing into the reps without tightening your lats and bracing which is why your second rep has such a shaky barpath.
You don't have be anywhere this fat to bench 315 for a double. a good powerlifter around his weight would be at least putting up 440 and much more if they were enhanced
You don't have to be big to bench 315. The 155lb weight class record is like 500lbs.
This fat fucker is a cheat. Arnold used to say fatties over estimate their strength because they are “big.” This fat lard boy is a prime example. Hey fatboy, if you’re reading this: you suck, lardboy
>Hyper arch wide grip 2cm ROM
most people who lift can't even get into that position if they tried and you have to have a short wingspan for the wide grip to reduce ROM that much
>it’s actually super hard to cheat on bench press dude i swear!!!
lmao end your miserable existence you pice of fat fuck fucking shit
Okay post your super arch pls, gurantee you can't get into that position if you try
OP is a fag
>not deadhanging
>kicking feet
>half ROM
>literally kipping the last ones out
Why did you need to be shirtless for this anyways?
I usually wear a shirt when I workout, but decided to go shirtless so you anons could see my form more clearly.
I’m fucking dying
keep your legs motionless from now also imagine pulling your elbows behind your back while bringing your chest to the bar. This will get you engaging the back. You want to be rowing your own weight upwards.
Congratulations on losing so much weight but do not stop. Become a beast and prove the old you wrong.
This is good advice. I will work on correcting my form. Thank you, anon.
>can do 5-7 half-reps (actual half-reps unlike OP's which are pretty decent) with a fucking 50kg resistance band
fuck, should I stick to machine pulldowns?
I do them for reps (12-20) because that's what I've been told to do but maybe I should try 5x5 for strength?
Very nice OP. Here’s my attempt except I weigh 145 and can actually do full reps.
https://files.catbox.moe/d3bvcl.MOV
Nice. I tested shortly after uploading that video, and I can do two full reps when I'm fully rested.
looks like you have a bit of an imbalance, your right and left side don't contract evenly and your right elbow does a little wobble at the bottom sometimes while your left doesn't
cute dog
I’d work on doing them in an L-sit position, with your legs out in front of you.
heres me doing with 20 kg added weighing 73 kg, so 93 kg in total or 205 lbs
yeah the last few reps werent full rom
i recently did a 60 kg weighted pullup that i didnt record and im aiming for a one armed pullup
Impressive, surprised you can’t do one arm yet.
One arm chin up maybe?
i tried at the calisthenics park one arm chinup, but my body automatically rotated to the strongest position which is for me the neutral to pronated grip and i didnt get it
here is my attempt above the door with left i get closer
Good going man
thx
Very good form, OPs fat ass should learn from this
Nice face you look like a gutter rat. Fucking weasel faced rodent
lol for all we know you look 10 times worse
and ontop of that you probably are ether obese or skinny fat
Looks like his superior pull-up ability has rustled some jimmies.

Hey mark
I bet when you were skinny, you looked like the weaseling kind of guy i would beat up
Now you looking like the kind of guy i beat off
Seriously though, nice bod. Would post mine, but id just get mogged.
Private Pyle should learn from Mr. Dolarhyde here. Very nice reps anon.
YOOOO, I HAVE THE EXACT SAME WEIGHTS SUP BRO
Good strong reps. I thought you were just going to leave at first.
You're strong as hell and could already kick my ass (and I've been lifting for years).
I think you should switch to an assisted pullup machine first though (if you can). Try getting yourself a little higher over the bar, lower yourself back down and make it take 3 seconds, go all the way down into a dead hang, then go for your next rep.
It'll be way harder, but the time-under-tension and full ROM will bring you faster results.
Btw, good on you for posting man, that takes serious balls.
Samefag OP
Thank you for the kind support, anon. I no longer have a gym membership, though. I'll just practice on improving my form. I have a pullup assist band that I use to warm up, and I'll start using that for regular sets.
How about you just focus on diet and cardio until you’ve lost 50 pounds. With those tits and that haircut, you look like a tranny
Ya, use the band and try to get between 8-12 reps per set. Keep doing sets until you can't get 8 anymore. So, if on your 4th set you can only do 5 reps, then you know you're done.
>people who look like this post on SwoleShack
jesus what am i still doing here with the rest of you
you didn't actually think SwoleShack meant being physically fit did you anon?
He probably thinks people posting in /biz have money….lol
>the people you discuss fitness with
lmao i fucking knew it. quarter reps and kipping. also 6 pullups at 243lbs is not impressive. idk how you saw yourself in this clip and thought to upload it
It’s pretty good. However, at 6’1” 210 lb bodyweight I can do 6 deadhang chin ups in a row with 55 lb added.
I’m assuming weighted chin ups are worth more than chin ups with high bodyweight because high bodyweight means more muscle.
Respect for giving no fucks.
what in the everliving fuck is going on in this thread
>big fat people bragging they can do the bare minimum body weight pullups
get a hair cut bro, looking like a fucking rat my dude
is this underwater weighing test anon all growed up?
nigga u are doing 25 percent reps. barely using your back too. no range of motion at all
This is a joke, right? I'm somewhat autistic so someone please tell me
Oh, forgot to add OP. If you can, get a taller pullup bar or put it on something. You'll want to do pullups with your legs hanging straight down. It'll reduce the momentum you'll be using in your legs.
Good to know, but I can't really raise my pullup bar. I have it as high as it can go. I tried pulling up from the upper bar that you can see in the video, and its too awkward. I'll just stick with assisted pullups for now until I can get my reps up.
He's talking shit which is to be expect from a weeb. Your pullup height is fine. Put your legs together out in front of you almost in an L shape and squeeze your quads and glutes as you go, but keep them completely still. The only motion should be in your upper body, as others have said pinch your shoulderblades together downwards and focus on bringing your chest towards the bar (not actual contact) rather than worrying about your chin.
Your form needs a lot of work but it's completely within your reach and props for actually posting. Focus on form above reps. Good luck YGMI
it won't reduce movement by much it will just give you additional core gains. if you don't kick you won't gain momentum
People have probably already told you everything you're doing wrong, but seriously just look up a video on YouTube. Seeing yourself akwardly and rapidly jerk yourself around not even going above the bar should have already been an indicator that you're doing something wrong. Slower controlled movements will always be better than whatever you're doing.
You look like a guy that knows how to fuck 😉
Why do you say that, anon?
Amazing and keep going bruh.
Thanks, anon.
AH BUT I NEED TO WATCH MY DIET I ATE 4500 CALORIES TODAY SO TOMMOROW I WILL EAT NOTHING
i drawed bruce lee demon
You did 0 pull ups fatty. Lose some weight maybe you'll be able to do 1.
I didn't know my form wasn't correct for a full pullup. I corrected myself shortly after beginning my workout, and discovered that I could do two full reps before failure where I pull my entire head above the bar.
I mean, you're still fat as fuck and you look disgusting.
But yeah, that's pretty impressive. It's like someone of a normal weight doing 2pl8 weighted pull-ups, not quite but pretty close. At least your lats are strong as fuck.
I can't do that many and I only have to lift 2/3 the weight.
>It's like someone of a normal weight doing 2pl8 weighted pull-ups
not a fair comparison. even if the total weight is the same the slimmer person is more impressive because it's way harder to gain lean muscle and if the fatty decided to cut he'd be way weaker than the slim person
Hahahhahaha this is a joke right? You don’t really think those reps count?
>this is who posts how lifting doesn't help with women
I'm actually lifting in the hopes of looking better so that I can get with some hot women. I lost 120 pounds in 2020, and I've been lifting since 2013. I used to be able to bench 355 before losing weight.
good continued weight loss will do you far more good in every respect than anything else
>I used to be able to bench 355 before losing weight
everyone can bench whatever on a dirty bulk. it probably was less than your bodyweight anyway
Kek dude I think you have potential but right now you'd probably get a much better lat workout from lat pulldown or assisted pull-ups. Prioritize losing weight ASAP.
You can get a big rubber band on Amazon to do assisted pull-ups, if you don't have a gym membership.
very good
how many full rep pull ups can you do from dead hang to chin over the bar?
lose weight you pasty motherfucker
>kipping
>poor range of motion
>never at full stretch
>Head doesnt even go above the bar
get real dude, that was awful
you can't even get your chin to the bar let alone your chest and no dead hangs
literally 0 reps
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
Work on your form bro. Go slower and focus more on correct posture. Also go higher and descend lower.
Form looks pretty crap with kipping and not really going high enough, so I can't really say that you're doing six pul ups. Still, you look legitimately strong. Keep going.
Thanks, anon.
Just remember that when you lose the gut and man tits to add weight with a dip belt or something. Keep at it and you're going to be strong AF and you'll have a godly V-taper.
-t. weighted pull up autist
Good advice, in 6 months time listen to that anon op.
Your pull ups were shit. Just one real pull up would have been more impressive. But at least your working at it. You don't need those weight plates in the background yet, your body is one massive weight. Calorie deficit, full body callisthenics every other day and walking on off days. 6 months from now you will look a different person. Fatties like you can look drastically better in just 6 months with simple basic shit like that.
IDK man, I have extremely good weighted pull up numbers and not much of a taper. Ring work, levers, and weighted windshield wipers, plus being into deads for too long gave me a stupid Greek statue fridge core. It sort of depends on your build too. Can't taper with wide hips.
WTF is this OP also improve technique and don't let yourself be fooled by numbers of reps
Yummy hot sexy delicious sweaty Asian feet that I would love to worship. I would love to worship her feet for hours.
Impressive,not full reps but impressive,how can you almost do pullups being such a fucking fatass
>Yummy hot sexy delicious sweaty Asian feet that I would love to worship. I would love to worship her feet for hours.
>Half reps at the start
>Quarter reps at the end
>Fat
>ponytail
>roiding for this
I can't
I assume you are around 5'10". I'm not impressed but we are similar so I get why you're impressed. I'm down to 225lb now and doing 10reps. Keep at it.
I'm 5'11.
If I'm doing SL and skipping rows, should I only do pull ups on row days? Or can I do 3 times per week?
I managed 6, 6, 5 with average form today.
Honestly based
Rooting 4 ya bud. Losing weight will most definitly be the fastest way to increase your reps
Thank you, anon.
This is what people call a pull-up?
Holy shit, I feel so much better about my 12 reps at 105kg, I didn't think it was anything special but I must be doing double the RoM with no momentum.
cut your hair, do OMAD and lift weights so you start looking like a man.
I refuse to cut my beautiful, long hair.
Nice adolecent girl tits
This really turned me on
You seem very familiar with the naked bodies of underage girls.
why don't you just transition already, you already got the tits and long hair
How my pullup form brehs

You remind me of that naked basketball Asian.
OP is unironically based. Good job dude.
But seriously lose some weight you are fat
I've already lost 120 in 2020, and I plan on losing more in the future. My ultimate goal is to look like Chad.
