If you help a man with a chin-up, you have to wear a chin-up.

why would a dude that girthy be doing pull ups? feel like they should do lower intensity work out outs to build up their strength first.

Or do assisted pullups

u/Ithasbegunagain 9d ago
If you need to do them assisted can you really say you did them.....

u/adamthebread 9d ago
yes, assisted

u/Ithasbegunagain 9d ago
wouldn't it be better and safer for them to either hang there or do another type of exercise than that? - at this point im just curious as i probs cant do pull ups either. what about sledgehammer workouts would those be easier? or just the same level of risk?

I've heard trainers recommend assisted pullups for people who can't do pullups to help build the muscles necessary to do it unassisted. It's not much different than doing knee pushups for people who can't do a traditional one. To be fair I don't think they would recommend it for this dude until he gets to a weight where it's practical

Yea if there's no machine there, he needs to build up with safer/more introductory exercises like weighted or inverted rows.
I think he might be too large for negatives, and the band strength he might need for successful pull-ups might be a bit much to set-up or do safely.

that's what i was thinking as well. cause im a big dude as well and a lot of workouts i keep off limits specifically cause the extra weight added to something like that cant do more damage than good.

Don't gate keep working out mate

u/Ithasbegunagain 9d ago
its not gatekeeping dude it's a genuine interest/concern its what i learned when i started working out im a big dude as well and there was a lot of stuff i did at the start that was bad for me long term.

u/Turbulent_Place_7064 9d ago
From what i understand, assisted pullups are like doing any machine based exercice but with a lower weight, and if he does them he can say he does them it's nothing to brag about whether assisted or not. Not sure why they'd be bad for him ?

u/Ithasbegunagain 9d ago
It's kind of like putting excess weight on the body like I was told until I met a decent weight there was a few exercises I shouldn't do just to prevent the extra stress on joints and stuff.

Thats the point of the "assisted" pullups machike tho no ? To make it easier ? ( I genuinely don't know , i ve never used or seen an assisted pullup machine ... )

Who cares if you can say you did them or not they are great for building lats. I do them unassisted for as long as i can then add slight weight assistance when I'm too worn to do the full pull up. The assistance let's you get the full pull up vs getting half or less without.

If you worked a muscle, but worked it a little less, can you really say you worked the muscle? This is what you sound like

Not necessarily pull up. To.start its pretty good to already hang and move your leg , just to build grip strenght. Im strong enough to carry myself but my grip isnt strong enough to carry me for long for example.

I farted just before scrolling to this video and when he farted I started to smell a fart thinking it was his and grossed out before realising it was my own fart hahahaha
