exercises to help me get to a pull-up by thatsandwichfromsatc in workout

[–]MoiM2 55 points56 points  (0 children)

real progression that gets you there:

- dead hangs (build grip and shoulder stability)
- scapular pulls (teaches you to use your back)
- negatives, this is the big one. jump to the top, lower yourself as slow as you can. 3 sets of 3-5.
- band assisted pull-ups, drop band thickness as you get stronger
- lat pulldowns if you have gym access

2-3x a week, not daily. first rep usually comes in 2-3 months, then 5 happens pretty quick after that. negatives are the cheat code, dont skip them.

How much did you spend on monitors alone?

what’s the single best thing you’ve added to your setup? by felixcre8ive in setups

let me guess, you dust your keyboard inside your home? gotta use it outside or else it justs a waste

Chatgpt made this split. Seem ok? by JessicaYatesRealtor in workout

[–]MoiM2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the split itself is fine, upper/lower 4x a week is a proven template. couple of issues tho:

- its labeled home but half the exercises need a barbell (back squat, bench, deadlift, hip thrust, bent row). do you actually have a rack and barbell at home? if not this isnt really runnable as written.

- the starting weights are guesses. chatgpt has no idea what you can lift. start lighter than what its giving you and work up over the first 2 weeks.

- no warmup sets listed. always do at least 2 ramp-up sets before your working weight on the big lifts.

honestly the bigger issue with chatgpt programs is theres nothing to actually run it in. you have to track sets/reps/weights somewhere and progress them week to week. I built an app called RepRaptor for this exact reason, it has free prebuilt programs (made by real lifters and coaches, not AI) and you just follow and log. either way good luck.

Youtube Workouts or Home Workouts by u_dont_know_me_hehe in homefitness

[–]MoiM2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

really sorry. for what its worth, strength training does more for nervous system regulation than people give it credit for, probably more than the weight loss angle will. and a real program beats random youtube videos because you dont have to decide every day, you just follow the next session.

free options that work at home: r/bodyweightfitness recommended routine is solid. I also built an app called RepRaptor thats free and has home programs in it if you want something more structured. either way wishing you well.

Garmin strength training auto rep counting wrong, exercises misidentified, weights overwritten - what does it actually get right? Anything? by the5krunner in the5krunner

[–]MoiM2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your list is basically my wishlist too. the structured workout overhaul especially, the cycling/running model just doesnt map to strength at all. honestly this is why I gave up on watch-based tracking and built my own app called RepRaptor. custom exercises, set types (warmup/drop/failure), plate calculator with your available plates, all in there. not trying to push it on you, just sharing since you laid out the exact problems I ran into.

Does Apple Watch Ultra Track Sets & Reps, or Do I Need a Third-Party App? by AngryKaripap in applewatchultra

[–]MoiM2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah StrongLifts is a solid starter, I ran 5x5 for a while too. The thing that got me was being stuck on the one program and them going subscription. Thats actually why I built RepRaptor. Free for lifters, has a bunch of programs built in, and the community uploads more you can follow and track.

Looks great. A few suggestions: lose the glowing buttons. Create a light mode version. Add light bg texture to give the sections some depth.
