who does pullup anymore?

[ROCKETW19]

I love them although they are hard for me. I start of gettin 12 and it just goes down each set.lol. I dont notice anyone else doing them what about you?

[WonderWoman]

I do them and they are hard for me too... I am a girly girl.
I can get about 4 by myself and going wide. Then I have someone hold my feet or I use the gravitron unit. I don't do them every workout, so when I get them in they tear my back up :)

[grnmchn]

Not too often, but when I do it's on the machine with a little help...

I start every back work out with pull ups. But like you said, nobody seems to do them. I think it is because most people can't, and instead or working their way up, they would rather do pull downs.

[Chadd77]

I almost always incorporate them into every back workout. Hang a plate off yourself and do some. Damn that burns!!

[Bouncer]

i never do them. always heavy pull downs for me.

[Solstice106]

sob and i only ever do pull downs too. do you all think there is a difference between an exercise like a pull down and a "more functional" exercise like a pull up?? if you think there is a difference, is there less of a difference if you use the pull up machine that helps with the weight?
how about a squat rack vs. squat machine? i assume the only difference is using more stabilizing muscles for exercises that seem "more functional" - but what have you all experienced?

in the case of pull up VS pull down. i actually dont think there is anything more functional about a pullup. pullups dont pump up my lats like pulldowns though.

LOL. hang a plate? maybe a 2.5lb plate.

Every workout!

My warmup before every workout is as follows:

3 rounds of:

10 Overhead Squats
10 Pullups
10 Ring dips
10 abmat situps
10 GHD back extension
1 samson stretch each side.

My fat ass does them...in an attempt to gain some back strength. When I feel like I am strong enough to do weighted pull ups, for good reps, I will be happy.

[Shibby]

Most my workout these days is a lot of compound body resistance exercises.

[NYCmitch25]

i do chins usually with a couple of 45's, sometimes it bothers my shoulder so i use machines like B

[mr8907]

i just do both, sets of pull ups untill i can only get three reps out then i either row or do pulldowns
