FIT 1 chin-up with a weight equat to what your bench for 1 rep

[evolude]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]You should be able to do one chin-up with a weight equal to what you bench press for one rep. The chin-up weight is calculated by adding external load on the dip belt to your bodyweight. Use a supinated grip to spare the shoulders and start from the bottom. It's my sincere belief that those who can do this rarely have shoulder issues. Most people are out of balance and have rotator cuff issues to prove it.[/FONT]

Can you do this?

If yes, do you have shoulder issues?

 

[Tumbles]

can rep it, but my bench sucks.

and my shoulders always hurt anyways.

 

[knucks]

So that would be me w/ 100lbs added. Yeah

 

[Bad Karma]

only if it includes my bodyweight

 

[evolude]

So somehow attach ~180lbs to myself and do a pull up?

He's not doing a chin-up but you can use the same belt for it.

best ive done is 3-5 pull ups with a 45 attached.. 180+45... 225 with a max bench around 265.... I think I could get 265 for one chin up style.. *shrug*

 

[ccrooks]

yeah, pretty sure i can

sweet

 

[erok81]

Since I can do about 2 BW pullups and I can't even bench my own body weight, I have it covered.

 

[evolude]

I need to do it with 3 plates. Guess I'll try them at the end of this week or next.

 

[knucks]

Pretty sure I can do it for reps if fresh too

275 bench ain't impressive tho

 

[dmaestro]

I can get like 3-5 chins w/75lbs attached dependant upon how fatigued I am.

my bench is (and always has been) horribly weak for my size

 

[MaineSucks]

yeah right

 

[jfall]

I can't even done one with my own body weight

 

[BarbaraWaltersPegleg]

yeah right

no shit right guy

 

[knucks]

yeah right

step up yo game sonn

what's your PR raw bench?

 

[Mountain Dude]

So if I bench 165, that would mean I'd have to do chinups with 10lbs attached?

 

[ccrooks]

if your 1-rep max is 165 and you weigh 155, then yes

 

[Mountain Dude]

if your 1-rep max is 165 and you weigh 155, then yes

So if you can do more weight while doing chinups, what does that mean?

 

[GTLifter]

My raw bench sucks and I have a strong back so I could probably come close to it or even go over.

 

[BarbaraWaltersPegleg]

step up yo game sonn

Ive handed off 405 to him for a few reps to give you an idea

 

[bigdamray]

So, I would have to add 250pounds on the dip belt. That would be difficult.

 

[Sylva]

I could do 1 chin up w/ my max BP. however I have shoulder issues.

So, fail.txt
