Thanks Shane.

But whatever the case, I'll give that form a try.

Nothing to lose anyway

btw a quick question,
is it necessary to add new exercises on a regular basis?

not necessary... change ur routine after some time, coz ur muscle got use to the workout.
give ur muscle some shock by changing ur routine.

Hmm.. are there any replacements for chinups?

pullups

Uh besides that? I dont have a bar at the gym but I have one at home.

pulldowns ??

Lat pull downs.

alright i'll try that.

Hold on. What are your goals though?
do you just wanna grow some wider back, or do you wanna get stronger at that as well?

if i want wider back then which one?
if stronger which one le?

Lat pulldowns don't have much carry over to strength. I emphasize, don't have MUCH. It does have a certain percentage, but compared to pull-ups and chin-ups, it's not as great. The strength required to carry your own bodyweight with your back and arms, is still more than what it takes to pull-down your own bodyweight. Go test it. Just on the pull-down, the hard part is not having yourself fly into the air so clip your legs still.

Why aren't you in the gym? Gym's open

Use bicep curls as a replacement for chinups.

I'm doing that negative pullup thingy..

I jump and hold about 3 seconds before coming down slowly. ...shit where is that post regarding pullup/chin ups..

havent tested yet...into week number 2...but pretty inconsistent. damn gotta remember to do acouple of those before i start gaming. my bad

I think when doing lat pulldowns, you don't need to use alot of weight to build a big back. I only use 70lbs-80lbs and I get a great mind muscle connection or whatever you call it. Its not heavy, but I rather that than pullups, whereby its hard to feel the lats. Mostly feel it in arms and your core. For wider back, definitely pulldowns for me.

Lat pulldowns are great!
Just had my 2nd Rippetoes session today, and I am loving this program already. I feel like I really worked out my whole body.
Anyone here on Rippetoes as well?

Btw Im quite worried about my barbell row form. ANy tips?

how about the number of exercise?
i mean when you hit chest dat day, how many type of chest exercises would you do? how many is counted as too much?

I will try to keep the exercise under 1 hour. Usually I train 1 day 3 bodypart. Main bodypart with 4 exercise. The other body part, 2 exercise.
