door frame pull up bar to get lats?

[kittednova]

hi all,i noticed my lats are lagging behind big time,so as i only have my home to train with ive purchased a pull up bar that fits into the door way,i hear pull ups are a great way to build lats and upper back,am i right?

hellz yeah.......do them weighted if you can, if you can't oh well, you'll be able to eventually.

Heh, if i did that in my house the door frame would cave in! Yep chin up = lats, if their lagging then you probs cant do weighted, but do sets of palms facing you and sets of palms away, I difference in grip makes a big difference.

any idea how long it will take till they get big enuff for a back shot lat spread?

i was thinking of getting one of these pull up bars too, how do they work exactly, i dont want to destroy my door.

Ones I've seen actually fit from one side of the dooframe to the other, but they could vary, I live a crappy house where I cant actually but shelves on walls though, made by BARRETT if ya wanna know.

So anyways, it aint the door youve gotta look at, it the frame, if I were you jus do them somewhere else, (goal posts etc!)

You're right, you're lats do need work.
