I can do 5 no issues, but how do you get to 10? Is there a good progressive program? My aim is to get to 3x10 B/W before I add weight. Or is it the same advice... keep doing them? Thanks
Keep it up! Keep going for it! When you're shaking and tired and really fighting for your last one and just barely making it, you're actively making yourself stronger. Those rough ones at the end are the ones that are building you up so long as you're not hurting yourself to finish. Keep going! You got this!
Not sure as I haven't ever really measured the length of the chain on ours, but if it's touching the floor when you do your pull-ups or dips, you could always use a carabiner to change the length (shortcutting some of the links, as it were).
I would love to know what’s the best thing for me to be trying to do on the bar, to build into being able to eventually do pull-ups. I’ve just been doing lat squeezes with a bit of a lift in them, mixed in with a little kip like motion. But I have no idea if that’s the best builder method? And I actually have never been able to do unassisted pull-ups. As someone who was Army and was on the bar attempting every day. And also in school for health and human performance, in the gym 5 days a week for that. I genuinely wonder if women have a deficit in this particular ability, or perhaps just some female body types that are very bottom strong. :-/ So I would love advice! I just did burpee pull-ups today in the METCON, and I altered it to a Kip like motioned lat shrug. 🤷🏼♀️
@@palmlifeuk3553 I was doing negatives for about 6 months, and didn’t feel much of a change. But you think that’s a good trainer to build?? I likely will need a lot of time to get there. So I just want to be doing something eventually fruitful.
Another method to get started is assistance bands which effectively lowers the weight. I have no specific product recommendation but you can find individual bands for as little as $8 on Amazon and sets of different resistances for under $30. You wrap it around the bar and then under one foot.
Both are useful. The lat pulldown is cheaper and more versatile, so if we ever bought a commercial one, we'd go that route as opposed to the gravitron (limited space, so both wouldn't be an option). However, we constructed our own lat pulldown, and that works quite well.
Thank you
You’re very welcome.

There are lots of programs for this, here is one I like that uses lots of low rep sets:

I'm thinking of doing sets of 5 normal chins then doing 5 negative chins to make 10. Then hopefully I'll move to 6 & 4 , 7 & 3 etc
I can’t get past 6 chins. Like stuck at 6 for two years.
@Ich halt Thanks. Thanks a lot!

Do you think that a 41-inch chain in a pullup/dip belt is too long?
Not sure as I haven't ever really measured the length of the chain on ours, but if it's touching the floor when you do your pull-ups or dips, you could always use a carabiner to change the length (shortcutting some of the links, as it were).

Maybe try negative chin ups. Start at the top position and slowly lower yourself down. Go as slow as you can.

Do you prefer the lat pulldown machine or the gravitron?
Both are useful. The lat pulldown is cheaper and more versatile, so if we ever bought a commercial one, we'd go that route as opposed to the gravitron (limited space, so both wouldn't be an option). However, we constructed our own lat pulldown, and that works quite well.
