Arms and delts, cool! I can handle that. I'm currently training for a powerlifting competition and do very little direct arm work, adding more arm work will be a breeze. Thanks!
Thanks for the input! I understand that "more mass" is definitely the name of the game for me and am continuously working on it, it just takes time. I guess my question really lies in proportions. ...
Same old song and dance, tall and skinny, hardgainer, blah blah, "insert excuses here". Anyway, 7 years ago at 18 years old I graduated high school at 6' 2'', 120lbs. Time goes by, I figure out how...

I think I follow. I know when I go for reps, the first 5-6 are relatively strict; 6-9 have a pretty good kip to them; everything after 9 is a gigantic frikken' "hips even with my shoulders" kip. lol
Get on the bar like you were going to do a dip. Lower yourself into the bottom of the dip position where the bar contacts your chest. This is the position you need to pull...
