This video shows how to do a close grip pullup, another excellent exercise for lats. In addition, in this video I show you how to quickly build a cheap set of handles that allow you to do these close grip pullups virtually anywhere, even from a tree.
When you do these, do the reps very slowly. Try to do 2 seconds up and 2 seconds down with no swinging or jerking. Go all the way up and all the way down but keep your shoulders stationary, dont totally relax when hanging and stretch the shoulder out of joint.
This exercise can be used as part of your intermediate or advanced back workouts, please see my website for complete workout suggestions:

Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn’t have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

If you are lifting …
If you are lifting weights, then the pain is normal, your muscles are just recovering. Going for a light jog after lifting weights (or after doing any anaerobic exercise) will help you recover faster because it gets rid of the lactic acid in your body. Give your muscles 48 hours of rest after each workout. One day you work on your upper body, and work on your lower body the second day, and keep switching.
TIP: If your goal is to loose weight, then i suggest that you do cardio exercises.

Can I just use my pull up bar with my hands in tandem rather than make a handle, or is this dodgy?
Thanks for the …
Thanks for the reply Scooby. I can see your point completely and I was also of the opinion that if I did the things he did I would injure myself. Throwing around the weights he does with my bad joints and back sounds like a recipe for disaster. Thanks again, I’ll keep doing my (your) thing

scooby i have been doing your new years resolution lose weight and get in shape. after monday , mine whole upper body even biceps and triceps and abs are sore . today is wednesday i’m still sore . so , should i still go on doing them even though i feel sore ?
Thanks for the …
Thanks for the videos epically “resolution”. My challenge is not ‘dedication’ but ‘patience’. If someone lacks a little on ‘dedication’ —they fall behind a little. If someone lacks ‘patience’ they can injure something and have a lengthy set back. THANKS again.

Hey Scooby have you always workout at home? because if so that is amazing how big you are
Just because …
Just because someone is big and muscular does not mean they know what they are talking about, they could also just be lucky or pharmaceutically enhanced. Doing pullups quickly is a recipe for injury

HELLO PPL.
Should I just do skull crushers to work my triceps or should I mix it up with other tricep exercises?
This is not …
This is not directly related to lats. I follow your form and exercises and get good burn in the gym using sensible weights and good form. A person I met recently uses really big weights and does the exercises really fast, maybe 2xReps per second. Even though he moves this fast his form is quite good. He has huge upper-body and seems to have good experience at body building. He says this is the way to go. I’m confused now. slow with less or fast with more, what builds mass faster??

the pull-up bar …
the pull-up bar that goes inbetween your doorframe..
i was going to get one but realised my door frame is too weak to support much.
what do you think …
what do you think of that iron gym bar? I don’t have one myself, but I tried my friends and I liked it. It’s the one that hooks into the door frame, you may have seen the commercial on TV. I’m considering getting one.
Its a waste of time …
Its a waste of time to do a “small” workout, if you cant give it 110% effort then wait till your muscles are completely recovered. This is just my opinion 🙂
ur the man
ur the man
Should I wait a …
Should I wait a full week for my muscles to rest or can I do a small workout when they are no longer sore.
Thanks and great videos
I wanna say finally …
I wanna say finally a person who knows what ther’e talking about. Theres alot of “know it at alls” out there. I enjoy youre videos and the corney humor along with it thanx for the great tips. Ill keep watching
I’m a big believer …
I’m a big believer in warming up with about 5min of low weight sets before hitting the heavy iron. Stretching before lifting weights in my experience causes more injuries than it prevents.
