[QUOTE=B-Low]Underhand - Probably about 15-20 depending on how I'm feeling that day
Overhand - Maybe 5-6. I suck at those :oldlol:[/QUOTE]
That is such a large discrepancy. :oldlol:
I find the complete opposite, I don't know why, since I know it shouldn't be like that. The easiest ones I find for me are parallel grip ones. So essentially what you'd do dips on; but obviously much closer together, something like shoulder level apart.

There's fitness threads where everyone is in amazing shape
BUT
Nobody can take pictures to prove it because they "don't have a webcam/camera"
BUT
Anytime there's threads about phones and computers, everyone has the most expensive, advanced ones on the market[/QUOTE]
I can see how some people are reluctant to vid themselves though. Sometimes I have a friend record my doing squats, deadlift, etc. to check my form and I get looks like I'm a big douchebag trying to show off.
i can do like 5 and then im bustttttt
[quote=bmulls]:lol at exactly "5.7%" body fat. I'm sure you had that tested in a bod pod :rolleyes:

Where did you get the 5.7% reading, Mach 3?
You appear to be more around 8-10.

True.
I saw some guy at the gym today with an average physique doing like 5 with 45 lbs. attached and then doing a set of 12 without it afterwards. :bowdown:
I'm going to take a guess and say 90% of the people in this thread aren't doing dead hang pull ups.

My weight fluctuates between 145-148 depending on what im doing during the day but i've used a variety of measures, bmi tests, body fat scales, i've even jumped in a bod pod before they all came back around the same percentage give or take a percent.
I'm one of those OCD ass people who watch their diet pretty much all the time with everything i put into my body and obviously it'd be pretty hard to determine that from (admittedly) pretty bad quality cell phone pics
So yeah I pulled off 22 biatchess..... haven't worked out in 2-3 weeks due to injuries
in 2-3 months my goal is 30 with good form
Worked my back and biceps now having some milk, almonds and peanut butter alllll natural
btw im 5'7 155-160 lbs around 8% body fat

There's not really a good way to pull off public taping of solo athletic endeavors, unless your locale is completely empty.

What's your back/bicep routine?
[QUOTE=Mach_3]What's your back/bicep routine?[/QUOTE]
I change it often depends on how I feel, some exercises I do are:
front pull downs with cable machine - 3 sets of 8
rear pull downs with cable machine - 3 sets of 8
cable machine rows - 3 sets of 8
rows with resistance band - 3 sets of 8
dumbbell rows - 3 sets of 8
lower Back extensions with exercise ball - 5 sets of 8
variety of pull ups - 5 sets of 8
shoulder shrugs - 3 sets of 10
bicep curls and hammer curls - 5 sets of 8
I usually end with some basic back and shoulder stretching for the extra flexibility
