I've been working on developing the ability to do a number of them in a row - it's definitely going to take some work. Very cool overview of pull-up variations. You got a pretty cool pull-up station at your place! I agree with Dave – definitely should include muscle ups.

While they're not necessarily part of the pullup family, if you can find space for muscle ups, I think those provide an amazing workout. On a side note, I keep waiting for Tony Jaa to replace Jackie Chan and Jet Li as the go-to actor for martial arts movies. Dave Yavor, Awesome review of pullup variations.

Not wait – a Shaolin monk Lol. L-pullups are awesome actually – I know a guy in his 60’s here In the hood that does like 20 of them. Might actually shoot a video of them soon :) The music on the vid is from LTJ Bukem. Love this type of music… <strong>Dave</strong>, Muscle ups are on my list too man. Yup Tony Jaa is a supreme athlete/actor. Another dude like this is Scott Adkins btw. <strong>Drew</strong>, yeah man – those pull-ups will do you good. As ripped as you are, more back work will give you even more v-shape. <strong>Raymond</strong>, I agree – the plots on Tony Jaa’s movies suck. But the stunts… Your tip about tempo is top-notch. Accentuating the negative is the way to go. <strong>Mike</strong>, first of all – your blog is awesome. Hilarious and bad ass at the same time – a perfect example is this post: http://mikearonefitness.com/2010/04/26/5-ways-to-motivate-yourself-for-the-gym/ Love the clap pull-ups idea man. I will try them next time I’m at the playground. Btw –here’s my colleague and mentor Milko with 10 clappers: <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/77K7yTYY9gY&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/77K7yTYY9gY&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> Great stuff guys – see you next post, Yavor Craig,

Parallel grip is by far my favorite position simply due to comfort. Your post has made me realize that I should probably start adding more wide grip and shoulder-width pullups, though, simply because of the increased work in the upper back. -Drew Excellent write-up, Yavor.

Totally agree - Wide grip Pullups have some perks, but most people think those are the absolute best way of doing a Pullup and that's all they use, whereas I like to supplement my Pullup regimen with it, not make it the basis. Usually I do pullups every time I hit the gym to super set everything else, and then on their own for Back days. You are rockin em in that video though - 16 man! Nice :) Nice video, love the beat although I have no idea what that's from - sounds like some James Bondish or Mission Impossible like music :) Oh and I need to build a bar like that in my apartment - so cool!
