I cant do any wide-grip pullups?

[fabzmm]

My lats are very weak, but I can't even do one wide grip pullup? Should I just try a regular pullup? Do those still work the lats?

[Bignbuff]

Yes, regular pullups are fine until you're able to do them.

You can also try wide-grip lat pulldowns, it's a very similar movement.

Try the assisted chin machine at the gym if you have one or have a training partner bear some of your weight as you do chins.

[Boridi]

shoulder width is best

[MilitaryMan]

try jumping up and then doing slow negatives. Very good for learning to do hard bodyweight extrecies.

^what he said

thats how i did it. i worked my way up on the lat pulldown with a wide grip until i could do my body weight on it and now i do wide grip pull ups at as many reps i can

[BigNorwegian]

hmmm, is it normal that wide grip pull ups are easier for me?

[coopersac]

my buddy just started working out with me about 1 month ago and he couldnt do them either but now hes almost keeping up with on them so just stay with it it comes pretty quick

IMO, narrow are better than wide

[Krupp]

Shoulder width and wider are better IMO.. i dont' mind narrow though, nothing wrong with it..

Do Lat pull downs until you've worked up..

Or the negatives is a good idea.

[CutBulkLift]

do lat pulldowns till you can do wide grip, thats what i do. I think chinups a and short grip pullups are gay because you target less of the lats. just stick with pull downs and some rows till you stregthen your back

IMO wide grip works more back narrow grip works more arm
