How come IFBB Pro BBers

Simon Dean SG

I seldom see them doing pull/chin ups??

Marco_Simone SG

Ya I agree with u

The only one who does them is Johnie Jackson I think.He can do 3 sets of 12 with 3 plates(Or that is what is stated in the muscletech advert)

The others,I think,they prefer pulldowns or they become too heavy until they cant do that many.

OPT SG

two main reasons I think -

Alot of them have shoulder problems - not that chins are bad for shoulders just they feel the pain compared to lat pulldown.

Also "off season" tey can weight 300lbs and don't have the strength - remember most bodybuilders are very weak realitive to their size.

ok maybe one more.... because someone told them chins were bad....

Marco_Simone SG

"Looking fit" dun mean you are strong.

Before I entered NS eons ago,I couldnt even do a single chin up yet I looked the part.

Simon Dean SG

i am cutting from 112kg to my PRESENT 99kg+ now.Still got about 9 more kgs to go.Height is 1.77m

I tried and could do 2 curl grip pullups Laughing

When i was in my 85kg lean state last time 12 reps was no prob..

So weight does play a part i think

Marco_Simone SG

u should have continue doing them even when you are bulking.

then when u slim down,you can do a lot more

Simon Dean SG

Yea lor, regretted not doing them whilst bulking..
