^^thats great, you should do it now too. It doesn't take more than 1 minute to do a good set.
And this is how I prefer to do it:
YouTube - Basic Exercise Plans : How to Do a Pull-Up

 

[Faun]

8 pull ups
(6+4) uneven pullups
(5+4) Towel pullups

Total=153+8 = 161

Once thing I noticed is that for big arms you should pay more attention to triceps than biceps as triceps make up 2/3 of your arms. And reverse barbel curls for that extra peak when you flex your biceps.

Yesterday
10+9 = 19

Today
Weighted pull ups (7.5kg)
4+3 = 7

Total = 161+19+7= 187

 

[Faun]

Weighted Pull ups (10kg)

[Faun]

[Faun]

Congrats

 

[vamsi_krishna]

Only managed to do 2.

Total: 2.5+2 = 4.5

 

[Faun]

^^still a commendable feat !
The thing is that even in my gym only some 1% guys can do pullups...hehe. It's the ultimate test of power to weight ratio combined with parallel bar dips.

 

[cute.bandar]

can do 6.5

 

[Faun]

can do 6.5

Good going !


15 pullups today, highest ever. Weighted pullups helped achieving this.

Total = 226 + 15 = 241

What are weight pullups?

 

[Faun]

^^add weights (clench a dumbbell b/w your feet) when you do pull ups. That basically makes your lats more stronger. Remember to control your ascent and descent, you are training your muscles.
