Yeah, thumbless will be stronger. I do that too, but thick bars still bother me. Working on a thick bar is actually what gave me tendonitis on the elbow a few years ago. I was doing them without the Versagrips cause I wanted to work on grip strength, and thicker bars work the grip more. But that elbow tendon hurt for like 3 months cause of that. Never going barehand on thick bars again.

If you can, try to get your pinkie side of the hand just slightly higher or slighlyt more toward the top of the bar. Its not alot, but it should feel like its just a little more on top of the bar than the thumbside. It'll kinda rotate your shoulders ever so slightly, and it'll put you in a slightly stronger position, esp at the bottom of the reps. Its a small detail that most people don't notice, but it helps. Try it and see if you feel a difference.

Do you mean like more narrow grip or close grip?

i agree evo. heavy rowwing moments and shrugs is what i use these for.

Nice Swole. We manlets on the same page.

Do you mean like more narrow grip or close grip?

No. For just regular grip when you do pullups. Most people just grab the bar with their fingers and start. Kinda like benchpress, beginners just start benching...the experienced guy sets up his body.

When you grab the bar, like for pullups, try to feel like the pinkie side of the hand isn't just grabbing with fingers, but slightly more with the palm. Its not alot more, but slightly more than the thumb side. Kinda experiment alittle.

It does help, esp on the bottom of the pullup. Try it. Just go from deadhang and hold it like normal, and then get the pinkie side palm more on top of the bar and try. You should feel like the shoulders are already 'tighter' when hanging cause they are slightly rotated.

I just added this pic. You can see the difference between 'normal' grip on left, and then what I'm talking about on the right.


PS..I added a Tip#2 to that other post about the motion of the pullup.

You'll get stronger faster doing full ROM. Thats my secret that noone ever listens to.

I can do still hit 6 good reps with 90lbs. Is that close enough?

But for cereal, lots of people ask me how to get stronger on pullups and I tell them they need to hit the full ROM cause you use actually different muscles depending on the part of the ROM you are in. Thast why for me, its like doing deep squats. I need to hit full ROM or it doesn't feel like its working.

For pullups I just do 5 sets of 10 for warmup and then add weights up to 45lbs for sets of no less than 5 reps.

I added pic in above post to kinda show what I mean.

How about add a video of yourself doing tip#2 so we can see.

Don't listen the them! I aint' 53!

I'll try sometime, but it'll be hard to get pics. I'll try to figure something out sometime.

Yeah, it really is...just slightly. Thumb side is more finger on top of bar, whereas pinkie side has more palm meat on the top of bar...just alittle bit. YOu should feel your elbows rotate inward slightly when you do it.

Never tried those. But I have done that flag thing before.

But I've been adding some front levers lately to back day. The bottom of the pullup really works the muscles that help do that front lever. I didnt' really work on front levers, but found I could do it cause of the weighted pullups, and now do a few sets of 3 just to get better form on it cause it looks cool, and gets bert stares.

[nykwan]

Actually, I got an idea.

Do a set of those straight arm pressdowns.

But first do it with chest out, shoulders pulled back...kinda like on bench press.

Then try it with your body doing the opposite. Shoulders forward, hips forward, and your back pushed back like a turtle shell. So your body is kinda concave. This is hollowbody. I guarantee you will feel the lower lats alot more in this position vs the first position.

But thats what I mean when I do my heavy weighted sets. I end up hollowbody from bottom to maybe 2/3 of the way up, and then body switches to chest out at the top.

Sometimes I do low rep sets of very slow pullups. And I feel my body naturally do this switch in positions also. Try a negative that way. Start at the top with shoulders pulled back, chest out, and then lower yourself. And let your body switch when you lower it. It'll feel natural later.
