As a tall and muscular fag, pullups are one of the exercises I struggle on. Seeing a lot of improvement by doing my max amount and then working in slow negatives right after.

For example, 4 sets of 4 pullups (current max), after each set do 4 negatives.

You'll get there, fella. Just keep at it. You can give yourself a head start with lat pulldowns if you want. When I started I couldnt do a single pull up, now I'm up to 4*10 with a 45 lb weight on a dip chain.

Something doesn't add up, even when I was at my fattest at probably 30%+ body fat I could do a few sets of 5 reps

Pull ups. I don't find pull ups harder to do with chin ups unless they're really wide grip. And I've never used momentum, one of the very first times I was doing pull ups in a park some old black dude walked up to me and said my form was shit, I've been doing them strict ever since.

Try french (I think that's the name) pull ups with isometric pauses. Other than that grease the groove and weighted is best for most progression as well as negatives tbh

Depends on your form.
With cable rows, even if you add very slight momentum, you can suddenly move way more weight.
I can do really controlled 180-190 for reps,
with a rigid back and full stretch.
But if i add slight momentum i can do just as many reps with 220.

I weigh 60kg and can ohp 40 for 8 reps and 3 sets. Failed a 50kg squat on third rep. Something about the squat movement just doesn't feel right and I can't get into it. My quads and knees especially will hurt for days. On a leg press I can do 10+ reps at 100kg and I run/row quite a bit so I thought my legs would be stronger but I'm always having injuries and little progress. On the other hand, my progress on OHP was the fastest and I think I'll achieve bodyweight in a few months.

prolly shit form
take a DEEP breath and tighten up your core before you derack the bar
keep core tight, flex glutes, quads and press with a purpose, gotta go aggressive on them bitches
when the bar gets just above your head, start pushing your head through, activating your traps to lock out the lift
dont hold the bar so wide, i hold it just as wide as shoulder width, holding the innermost part of the knurling

Just be relatively careful when you start off with the negatives. Most people should be fine but if you do heaps of really slow negatives, particularly when you're new, you can risk elbow tendonitis and a few other connective tissue strain injuries. Just take care at the start anon.

Once you can do a few proper chin-ups, for your sets, do as many proper ones as you can and finish the set with negatives. say you wanna get 3x8 and can only do 5 chin-ups, finish with 3 negatives. Once you've hit the 3x8 or whatever I'd start moving to pullups. Again, if you cant do many of them start with negatives.

>>34686835
No. You've got both a strong nervous pattern for pushups, and a much reduced working weight on your arms. You've got four points of contact with the ground and the leverage shifts as you do a pushup. With a bench press it goes straight up and down. Also, with bench you need to stabilize the weight while you apply force, in a different set of patterns to what your pushups might require.

Also, switch up your pushups. 50 pushups is endurance range. If you want strength start doing diamond pushups, then move towards pseudo-planche pushups/planche leans, or one arm pushups.
