never managed to do this so far after a year and a half going at the gym. You need a lot of upper body strength. not for begginers for sure :(

A staple for any back routine. Start off your back routine with this exercise and eventually when you have built up the necessary strength, use a dip belt with added weight plates. Remember to arch your back and stick your chest up throughout the motion to fully work your back!

Althought a great "real" workout, I am unable to do this one as I once injured myself on a similar machine at the gym.

Althought a great "real" workout, I am unable to do this one as I once injured myself on a similar machine at the gym. Not sure how I did it, but I am sure i pulled a muscle somewhere on my shoulder and I was sore for a good two months, not able to do much. The kind they have is the one you can add weight to, with your knees on top of a pad. Maybe I didn't know how to use it at first, but I even waited to see others use it, but when I did, that's what I injured myself! Very scared to use it, so I either do dips in a seated dip machine, or do the wide-grip lat pulldown. Maybe I will attempt to use it at some point with some coaching, but for now, these work for me!-See Less

best compound exercise for your lats' mass! but weighted is EVEN better! 8-12 reps is perfect on this exercise.

Full extension is the only way to go, if not you don't hit the muscle the right way. Lock your arms out at the bottom.

Very useful data! but don't pull ups work the triceps and trapezius as well? Hmmm...I could be wrong.

Go for speed on lite days and slow for heavy days. Also, for fun, if you got the upper body strength to do it. Try what I call, "spider monkey's". Which is where you swing all the up above the pull up bars, do 5 dips, swing back down and repeat. It's a fun and hardcore exercise to do.

There are many ways that we can improve our pullups/chinups. If you cannot perform 2-3 reps with your own body weight, you can do it self assisted, like for example using a box,chair or even a gymball to stick your feet on it and only reducing your bodyweight, when you can't go up. Also you can do negatives:...+See More

Also you can do negatives: jump and then come down slowly. Other one to help you is reverse rows, you can find this exercise here. Good luck and don't quit!-See Less

Great exercise. I remember when I could perform about 15 reps with my legs raised horizontal with my own bodyweight(this was in the early 90's). Now, I may perform only 6-7 reps without raised legs. Long time without practice, loss of strength, too!

I need some advice/help. I am weigh at 220 lbs. I love to do pull-ups but I can barely crank out 2 then I rest a min and do 2 more. Is there any other exercise at home I can do to help this? (I workout at home with dumbbells

This exercise must be included into any workout where the lats are targeted, no matter how heavy you are, there is never an excuse not to be able to perform a good set. If you cant perform a full set, set this as a goal and you will almost definitely see improvements in your lat development!
