REPORT! I did 100 pull ups a day for 30 days. The result was amazing!!

[triumphant8891]

@tripperfish I never go failure on set. I rest when I feel I need.

I do prehab exercise like face pull and shoulder dislocated.

And I'm light weight with no injury history. Maybe that's why!

 

[tripperfish]

@triumphant8891 Thanks for the reply..! I want to get back into training again

 

[dawn16]

@triumphant8891 ^ I vouch for shoulder dislocate and face pulls. Can't do 100 reps, but can knock out 3 slow dead hang reps with 85 lbs attached to me. Gradually took time to get there, but OP/my progress setup was similar (did pullups 3x a week at mainly 60-70% on non heavy days)

@dawn16 85.0 lbs ≈ 38.6 kilograms [sup]1 pound ≈ 0.45kg[/sup]

@tripperfish Also, there’s a chance you were gripping he bar wrong. You want the have he bar as far in your palm as possible, that prevents stress in your tendons that go from your fingers to your elbow.

 

[godchozeme]

@jbarnes89 What does that even mean? Can you illustrate the grip?

 

[sashang]

@godchozeme Grab the bar in a way that your palm is more on top of the bar, not your fingers. I think it's called over gripping.

 

[godchozeme]

@sashang Interesting. I find when I do this I feel more strain in my forearms and elbow.

 

[tripperfish]

@jbarnes89 Ty..! I’ve never heard that - very interesting, I’ll def pay more attentive n to my grip. (I never thought twice about it before)

 

[eve000]

@tripperfish Also if you feel some pain in your forearms and elbows it could be your tendons. It takes a long time to strengthen tendons so make sure you give them time to recover.

 

[tripperfish]

@eve000 You’re exactly right - I had a tendon injury..

 

[eve000]

@tripperfish Yea it can take 1-3 weeks for the tendons to recover after a workout and strengthen. It's not like muscles which recover in a couple days. So just take it easy, if they hurt than take recovery time.

@tripperfish As far i now, joint problems after pull ups more likely appears in big boys with BW 90 + kg. I am 91 kg and i had epicondylitis after pull ups 2 yers ago.

To prevent joint issues, i use this rules:

1) good warm up

2) no more 3 mins between sets (yes, it's aganist GtG philosophy, but you shoudn not cool down your joints between seets)

3) May use soft elbow pads if you feel discomfort

4) Glucosamine/chondroitine (i now it have lack of evidence, but this supplement worked great for me)

4) Do not pull up every day if u are heavyweight

Good luck!

 

[tripperfish]

@franklampard14 Good advice , thank you!

 

[franklampard14]

@tripperfish You are welcome , mate! One additional point from my hard experience . Consider your bodiweight like barbell weight. Will you do bench press with 90 kg barbell wothout proper warm up? No, you will not, you will do something like 30 kg x 10, 50 x 5, 70 x5, 90 x ... Same with pull ups - warm up with different resistant bands (or gravitron) before main sets.

@adhidarmawijaya I think the only missing in Saitama training program is a pulling movement. That's the one I do. LOL!!!
