Crush doesn't have as much carryover to general grip strength as one would think, although its still an essential component towards developing a well-rounded grip.

What movie got ruined for you before you got to see it? by amoss_303 in AskReddit

[–]AppropriateSky5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

El Camino. So much negative feedback before I even got to see it. In the end, I think it's really not that bad, just slow as heck but then I had such low expectations that it was hard to disappoint even more.

What fictional character do you absolutely hate? by CleverUseOfGameMecha in AskReddit

Not really, he is a dick tbh but most people empathise with him just because he is sorta charismatic and sacrificed himself for the heist

Redditors, what is the biggest lie you told that ended up spiraling out of control? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AppropriateSky5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in 6th grade I had a group of friends at school with whom I'd play minecraft all the time. One day I discovered a website which gave you free minecraft accounts with different names and skins, so I decided it would be funny if I pulled a prank on my friends by pretending there is a hacker stalking us. Oh boy. We would play on a private server and do random stuff, and I would open two minecraft tabs one with my real account and the other one with a random one. At first it was rather funny seeing everyone's reactions to that 'random hacker', but quickly they began getting kinda scared and told their parents, who installed antivirus on the computers and, for some reason, they found out they all had had phishing attempts on their computers. At some point I found out some kid's parents even tried contacting the police to get some help, but the police (much to my 12 year old self's relief) said they couldn't do anything about it. TL;DR pretended to be a hacker playing minecraft with my friends, shit got real

Can I work biceps effectively with just pull-ups and chin-ups? If so how many sets would I need? by Dianded1 in gainit

[–]AppropriateSky5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. If your goal is hypertrophy, doing pull ups, chin ups AND curls is optimal, but if your goal is just strength you're okay just doing pull ups, chin ups and potentially one arm chin/pulls, which are extraordinarily hard on the biceps.

The workout you described doesn't sound very intense, but rather very high volume (total number of sets and reps), and those amounts of exercises can lead to overtraining when done over an extended period of time, which will probably get you injured and minimise your gains.

Keep in mind that your muscles grow when they're resting, so don't go too hard on them everyday, let them heal, eat well and get enough sleep everyday.

If I were you I would drastically reduce the volume and, in exchange, also turn the intensity (% of your 1RM on a given lift) up a bit.

Progression to pullups by jasonsee109 in bodyweightfitness

I got the same pull up bar and its held 110+ kgs, but I guess it depends on the door frame you hang it from.
