Pullups are my worst lift. I have a fairly strong back for rows and deads, but (medium width grips for discussion) pullups are just hard for me. Once I get warmed up, I can do about 8-10 from a full hang for the first set, 5-7 on the second set, 3-4 on the 3rd set, 2-3 on the 4th set. Some guys have told me "hey man, you weigh over 200 lbs, don't beat yourself up over it..." I, personally, think that is bullshit. Sure, it might mean that I'm not going to be exceptional at it, but I want to do better. I'm just curious what some of y'all think about doing the pullups from a full hang vs constant tension, ie, not going down all the way. From a full hang is definitely harder, that is for sure, but is it necessarily more effective? pullups don't have a lockout point like bench, squats, or deads, so it's harder to gauge "progress." Any thoughts would be appreciated. Peace.
