I’ve never tried them myself but I will definitely give them a shot. Seems like it would be a great exercises to throw in periodically when you’re nearing a plateau. Nice post by the way!

Just tried this less than an hour ago. My arms are fried, along with my back. Great stuff, as usual!

Darrin,

the jumpore, the kettlebell and the pull-up are a great selection. By the way – I’m not slamming curls. In fact I do them often What I’m saying is that these mixed-grip pull-ups help a lot.

Alykhan,

try them out. They are 2-3 times harder than regular pull-ups. So if you get really got at the mix grip with unilateral emphasis, you will have bigger arms.

Cheers guys,

Yavor

I feel like my biceps have hit a plateau lately… I’ve actually never tried these but will definitely give them a shot next time I do my “pullup workout” at the park. Great post!

Solid post, Yavor. In my quest to eliminate all but the most effective exercises, biceps curls got the boot long ago. I nearly got a membership at the nearby Globo Gym but changed my mind and am going to rely on only three pieces of equipment this summer: jump rope, kettlebell, and pull up bar. Looking forward to adding this one to my repertoire.

Craig, just as long as it doesn't hurt your shoulder, it should be ok. I tried them super wide and it hurt bad... btw - speaking of pullups and summer...

Just got back from trying these bad boys out… killer man, love em. Because of the crappy bar at the gym, I had to go a little wider than in the vid, but I’m sure there are benefits to that variation as well?

Such a valuable article here – I am not one to be seen doing bicep curls but I love me some chinups! Top notch advice and methods – My gym doesn’t have a standard straight pullup bar, isn’t that crazy? Luckily I’ve found a pullup bar not too far, so I can enjoy some sun while working out… nice Excellent article!
