I did most of the pull ups today as kneeling pull downs for two reasons - 1) to try to build up more strength & 2) cautious with shoulder although its feeling much better.
I did some light weight 20kg/45lb (especially towel and corn cobs) and some 30kg/66lb but my shoulder felt good so for chin ups I used Chin up max on the bar.
This workout really does fry your biceps!!!! I managed the strip set the same as last time I did this workout so I need to up that for next week.
At the end of the workout I decreased the resistance of my chin up max by two inches. So although I may get less reps I'm after building the strength. No point getting 8-10 reps of assisted pull ups if that doesn't get you closer to unassisted right?
John would you advise going for 6-8 assisted at less resistance then when I hit 8 again decreased again for 6-8 or should I be aiming at 4-6?? Any other thoughts for chin up strength progression???
