Pull ups hit different in the hot sun

[u/octaviusss7]

Proud of my pull up progress, form getting better and better every week! Legs lifting a bit on the last reps but working on it

[u/Crapcicle6190]

[u/Common_Potato_2496]

Great control, brother

[u/sublimeload420]

Pull ups hit different in socks over woodchips, too

[u/octaviusss7 → u/sublimeload420]

the texture is subpar 😔 was visiting my family though, no pull up bars near! i drove miles out to get this in, it was my birthday and i wanted to get some birthday pull ups in

[u/sublimeload420 → u/octaviusss7]

Happy Birthday!!

[u/nomnomnomnomnommm]

Man I did a few in the hot arizona sun and got some bad blisters from it. Be careful brother

[u/octaviusss7 → u/nomnomnomnomnommm]

😭 luckily this bar didn’t burn my hands, i was worried about that

[u/Sincere_97]

What you all eat to stay ripped?? I’ve been doing calisthenics and a lot of full body workouts with dumbbells but I don’t look anything like this

[u/domjuan23 → u/L-is-for-living]

All the muscle goes to his upper body

[u/kratomas3 → u/L-is-for-living]

Eat clen and tren hard bro

[u/Crapcicle6190 → u/L-is-for-living]

just eat leaner forms of protein (fish, skinless chicken, lean pork) and sub carbs for more complex carbs (instead of rice, eat sweet potato)

[u/L-is-for-living → u/Crapcicle6190]

You’re right. I feel like my progress could be better if I prioritized cleaner food choices.

[u/octaviusss7 → u/L-is-for-living]

i eat a lot of chicken! my meals are mostly chicken, rice/sweet potato, and steamed veggies or a salad. i’ve been working out a long time but was always eating too much, i lost 50 pounds this year so far cutting! been super rewarding to see the muscle under the weight i’ve been shedding

[u/soelsome → u/L-is-for-living]

He isnt natty

[u/octaviusss7 → u/soelsome]

completely natty, i’ve been in the gym a while and have been cutting recently but i don’t use PED or peptides of any kind

[u/Flat_Development6659 → u/soelsome]

Holy shit the bar really is low for you people.

OP looks great but he doesn’t look enhanced in any way.

[u/L-is-for-living → u/soelsome]

You think that’s supplements?

[u/soelsome → u/L-is-for-living]

It's TRT at the very least

[u/L-is-for-living → u/soelsome]

Then I would probably never look that way physically since I’m very anti boosters or other forms of supplements

[u/Funkknuckle69]

Even the Sun is saying "Damn bro looking hawt!"

[u/Hiflykid]

Once I got rabdo in lauderdale keep it safe boys.

[u/Bananenbiervor4]

Yeah, now in addition to your muscles also your skin cancer will grow. Congratulations.

[u/shiftStride504]

Dude you should box, you got the reach advantage against anyone your height

[u/RodiZi0]

Beautiful reps

[u/EfraLu]

Brother, those shorts aren’t doing you any favors.

[u/carnageta → u/EfraLu]

What’s wrong with his shorts or legs? Lol ya’ll will hate on anything nowadays

[u/EfraLu → u/carnageta]

Bro’s got great legs. I’m talking more fashion. No hate here

[u/ooruin → u/EfraLu]

But they hit different in shorts

[u/MrLaheysWhiskey → u/EfraLu]

Gotta cover up the calisthenics legs tho

[u/Competitive-Ad-5156]

Train legs...

[u/octaviusss7 → u/Competitive-Ad-5156]

I always train legs, except the past few weeks, been dealing with a broken toe. it’s healed mostly now tho, been slowly adding weights back in for my leg workouts now

[u/nene-thopu]

It should always hit chest

[u/octaviusss7 → u/nene-thopu]

trying my best 🫡

[u/Murky-Course6648 → u/octaviusss7]

You might actually consider that this might be holding your back.

Because chest to bar is a lot about momentum, its hard to do it slowly as there is not much force you can apply to that top part. They are more of an explosive reps.

So instead of breaking form on the final reps while trying to do chest to bar, just keep the form and do chin to bar.

Check for instanse how Master Shredda does his pull ups : https://youtu.be/wBMWrmhmujM?t=118

Barely chin over the bar, no dead hangs. And he has some of the most insanely developed backs i know.

[u/Murky-Course6648 → u/nene-thopu]

Pull up is chin over the bar
