big nasty Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I have lost a bunch of weight over the last year and a half 3lbs short of a 100 so far I have been doing lot's of pullup's lately. This weekend i put a set up in my garage and was playing doing grip and pullup's had done quit a few already and thought I would try a 2 finger pullup to my suprise I got 2. I was pretty happy considering a year ago I couldnt do 1 regular pullup lol. I tried a 1 finger not there anytime soon I think if I weighed a buck fifty maybe hahaha !

Incindium Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) I've just recently lost enough weight to be able to do a single chin up myself but I'm still above 300lb. I was thinking about 1 finger chins and tried out the grip last night... I'm still a long way from even hanging by my middle fingers although I did hang shortly by 2 fingers each hand. It would be pretty sweet to do a 2 finger chin at over 300lbs although I'm likely to drop under 300 before I'm able to do that feat. Congrats on the weightloss and the pullups.

Grippster Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) I used to find 4 finger pull ups (index and middle finger) fairly easy. I was doing pretty much as many of those as I was the regular ones. Haven't done any serious pull up training in a while. <---lol that sounds funny if you think about it Edited July 25, 2009 by Grippster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisJames Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Great work Jason and well done on the weight loss, i know how hadthat is. I do a lot chins and pll ups myself , excellent exercise for the upper body and grip. I've managed 10 one finger chins at 275 lbs but like you i'm in the process of losing weight (pumpkin seeds) among other things !!! The worst thing is the pain of hanging off the bar.

Grippster Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 That's precisely the reason I never bothered with them. It's too hard on your finger unless you're a monkey. In my humble opinion I think the best way to work up to it is to just do the 4 finger chin ups (more support on the fingers, no pain) and wear a backpack with weight in it, and gradually increase the weight as you go and at least you won't be straining if it's too heavy. When 100lbs in the bag gets easy it's safe to say you can try one finger on the bar without straining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
