Pullups VS pulldowns

[Meataxe]

well then, why the bullsht comment bro? you would know more than anyone that there is no point lifting a weight (if you're a bber) and not actually feeling the muscle the exercise is meant for. That just doesn't make any sense nor any benefit unless you're a power lifter and you're only concern is to lift. I was never comparing a pulldown to a chin. My whole point was, get that connection established when you do chins. If you don't feel jack back there, switch to something else so you do. You can always go back to chins bro, doesn't make you a pussy arse bitch. It makes you smarter than the guy who continuously does chins without ever feeling his back work but heck, he's got some biceps on him lol.

Yes, it does. If you can do even one chin, yet you choose to start with pull downs it makes you and your workout soemthing of a pussy arese bitch of a workout. If you can do one chin, then you do one chin, followed by a half a chin, followed by negative chins, then you can move onto pulldowns if you wish. Chins will make you 100 times stonger over any pulldowns, and will, in time, make your connection with chins 100 times better and improved compared to any pulldowns is going to help. Simply put, you want to improve your connection with chins? Then chin, and chin and chin(No, this is not some racist asian joke :grin: ) don't pull. Actual chining will help your chin, and overall development, over any pulldowns you choose to do.

Do you chin?

Do you chin?

Is this a serious question or a "Are You Mirin' type trolling question?

[JOSEF RAKICH]

Do both.

However there is more muscle activation in a pull up compared to a pull down.

[severe]

I warm up on chins. 2 sets of 10. Just a light fry.

Then I will do wides, alternating every 2 weeks with close grip pull-downs.

These are followed by seated rows.

These are followed by single arm DB rows.

Good stuff, and good on you for updating thread

Did you take any pics before you started doing pullups?
