My dream is to be able to rep 20 pull ups. Im on 4 underarm at the moment- i cant even think about overarm.
I train for triathlons which means i do about 10 hours training a week, 1 hr 20 of that is weights.
I have been trying to build up to pulls ups for 4 years but nothing works. I bulk for muscle and i get too heavy, i lose weight and im too weak.
My legs and back are huge, my arms and shoulder muscles which contribute towards overarm seem non existent.
I have done assisted pull ups for 6 months and nothing seems to help. I plateau at around 12 reps with a 20kg assist. I know from past experience that if i drop 20kg from my current weight i would be far too wek to do one pull up....
Garrrr its driving me mad. I even try pull ups every morning off a steel girder running across my house, but u cant get a proper grip on that so u pull up with ** fingertips- 2 is my max on that lol
advice appreciated
