good point.  I would recommend simple lat pulldowns or a pullup assist machine to get you started.  Reduce the weight assisting over time, have solid nutrition, and cardio cardio cardio.  You can also try laying down pullups on a smith machine where you sit at and incline and pull your chest to the bar.

How much bodyfat do you have, BlueDevil?

At 285 I can do 12 strict pullups. Being heavy should not prevent you from doing normal pullups. (I don't have megatons of bodyfat, though, so maybe we are in different boats...)

about 18 %

not having exercised in a while is the biggest problem i guess

lol

I never said I had "low bodyfat".  I said I don't have "megatons" of bodyfat.

I'm 285-287 at 5'10 with bodyfat around 20%. I look like a powerlifter, not a bodybuilder.

Ahh, I see.


I've been lifting for 19 years, so I have a slight advantage.  :)
