Yes. I tried to hang myself yesterday, bout 20s only. i thk. will do few time and at the same time, try out chair assist. will try to do 3-4 rep for negative chin up. will update time by time to c improvement..

anyone know if to train with free weight, how many kg i should able to carry to help in my chin up?  is all this exercises help also in push up?  my weight is about 58kg height about 166cm.

free weights is a progressive thing. there is no measure of how much you can carry. it differs from one individual to another.

if you want to start on free weights, i suggest you go for strength work first. do the three 'money' moves, bench press, squats and deadlifts. theres a sticky on how to do them. start light and progressively work your way up in weights. read up more on more advanced routines or you can ask questions. most of us would try to answer them smile.gif.

i can now hang myself for bout 40 second. But other work not seems progress. I back to park to hang at the bar but can't hang long. Wonder is it differences between door bar and the real bar?

Thicker bars are generally harder to hang on to due to grip. Keep at it, start doing negatives you'll get there eventually

I'll try this out for pull ups.

I can do a up to 3 chin ups no issue , but pull ups seem to strain my shoulder even 2/3rd's up.

How wide apart are your grip? I have shoulder issues as well if I do them too wide. Pull ups are shoulder width or slightly wider apart for me

Wonder how i can set up a pic for this..hmmm

BTW You were training at FF before right ? I'm using the pullup machine so i hold on to the straight handle before it slopes down

Kinda depends how wide are you in the first place right lol. Do whichever grip that's comfortable for you imo.

I think if someone of you still can't do a chin up, you need an adrenaline surge. Get to the top of a 20 storey building, hang from a bar with the ground below you and pull up. It'll provoke a do or die situation.

Sometimes I amaze myself with my genius.

Mana tau the bar breaks instead.

Worst. Death. Ever.

LOL! I think at that situation you'll think of something la. I have, however, seen a youube wheere this guy climbs to a tower crane and did pullups. Crazy mofo.
