Can do 20 close grip, can't do a single one wide grip at all. Used to really wee! me off at the gym when lads i trained with could do wide grip pull up's with weights attached. I'm 5'7" and 14st
Aye, 2 keyhole shoulder ops haven't helpded, plus the lower back probs meant i could never really exploit back/shoulder, i just got really ragged off that i can do loads of weight doing pull-downs etc (more than the lad i went to the gym with) but he could do wide grip pulls with a 20kg plate strapped on a belt! To be truthful i think it's more physiological in the way my back/shoulders now compensate for all the crap they have had to put up with over the years (i.e. i'm getting to be an old giffer so i'd rather lift a glass of wine than a barbell! )
/edit p.s. you out for Burts leaving do in Leeds on the 9th Feb?
