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!

Noquestion hands down best exercise for back. Try finishing every set with a static hold at the top of the motion. I t will makes subsequent sets harder but will really test your will and your lats will be pumped!

My fav and all time best lat exercise! Just dont cheat by swinging or going too fast. As you get stronger and can do more than 15 or so reps with good form, begin adding weight (via a weight belt) to your pull ups.

medium paced up, slowly down. And squeeze as hard as you can throughout. Excellent lat workout once mastered. 3 or 5 sets until form is sacrificed should suffice to get your back routine off to a start.

If you have trouble doing Pull-ups, do as many reps as you can, then immediately do band pull-downs using the same form as a pull-up. This will help to increase your strength and rep count.
