You could try inverted push ups. Lay on your back, and position a bar over you at less than arm’s reach. (MacGuyver something up, if you have to.) Grab the bar, and keeping your body straight, pull yourself from the ground to the bar, and lower slowly, keeping your body straight as a board the whole time.

Alternatively, you can find a gym with a lat pulldown, or assisted pull up machine. Same motion as a pull up, but with lower weight than your body weight, to build strength.

You have a super-fast metabolism that will eventually wear off.
My advice: Work your muscles a lot, and eat extra protein.

i ve never expected that negative chin ups are that hard. if you do them without a chair by jumping their are even harder.

pugzta09 July 6, 2009 at 12:29 am

I have a question. What’s the point of splitting a negative training with the positive one?

Akus4ever July 19, 2009 at 3:36 pm

bossoholic July 19, 2009 at 9:55 pm

Its mainly for people that cannot do pull-ups, so they can get to where they can do them fully

lassi666 July 20, 2009 at 8:11 am

Mcnugget556 July 27, 2009 at 6:02 pm

it should take a few weeks, maybe 6 or so idk

ekiezama July 28, 2009 at 2:52 am

is my favorite excercise , if u not got stamina and natural power is very difficolt , i see many guys they not able to do even a single pull ups or chin ups , i do very well , at the end i add some negative wich brings me to pump my muscle until the end

Akus4ever July 31, 2009 at 5:21 pm

It depends on what you want biceps or lats?
