The FASTEST Method To Get Your First Pullup

 Alright, I don’t wanna bullshit y’all with false knowledge. This is how I taught many people how to do their first pull up and it has worked wonderfully. It’s a 5-Step Process. Mind you the method is simple but definitely not easy. My tips aren’t only research but also experience based. Lemme say this tho, if you have a pull-up bar at home, it’ll make this process much faster. Now without further ado, let’s get right into it.

1) Dead Hang: This is the most important exercise you can do. A strong grip means a stronger pull up. Practice your grip strength as often as possible. You should easily be able to hold a dead hang for 30-40 seconds.

2) Active-Passive Hang: This is the next step. I would suggest you keep practising this even after you’ve gotten your first pull-up down (pfft... “first pull-up down!) in order to increase reps. What you want to do is go from the dead hang (passive hang) to the active hang by pushing you arms to the side and elevating your body a little higher. Basically, you’re doing a pull-up without bending your elbows. Keep switching back and forth b/w the two.

3) Negative Pull-up: You have heard of this before. Now that you’ve gotten a strong grip, you wanna jump up to the top of the bar or use a stool as a boost and come down as slow as possible. This will start building that base level of strength into your arms for the pull-up. Make sure you start with your chin over the bar. Do 3 sets of 10 reps as a beginner

4) Flexed Arm Hang: This thing’s gonna work like magic for your pull-ups. After you’ve strengthened you grip strength through dead hang and built your pull-up muscles through active-passive hang and negative pull-ups. Now you wanna jump up till your chin clears the bar and hold for as long as possible, once you start losing strength, instead of dropping down, move on to a negative by coming down as slow as possible. This will start burning the move into your muscles and you will be able to pull-up within a few days of practicing this. Make sure to not let your chin rest on the bar. Perform this move with various grips (I.e. Pull-ups, chin ups, neutral grips). Do 3-5 Sets of these. Rest as per required.

5) Attempt your first pull-up! That’s right. After maybe a week of practicing the flexed arm hang, try performing the pull-up. If you followed all the steps properly than you have now strengthened all your necessary muscles to perform your first pull-up. It’s okay if it’s a little sloppy. At least you made

THE PERFECT PULL-UP 

I just wanted to give you a quick idea of how pull-ups should be performed. Choose a grip you are most comfortable with, now you wanna pull yourself till the top of your chest touches the bar and lower down till your elbows are completely straight. There you have it. The perfect pull-up. It may take time to reach here but stay diligent and you’ll be here in no time.

One Punch Man: Garou Workout Routine and Diet Plan (One Punch Man )

We’re finally doing Garou!! One of the most popular characters from the One Punch Man anime. Not only for his personality and fighting abilities but for his insane physique. Ever since they first introduced him to the series he has become an integral part of the story line. Now without wasting much time we’re gonna immediately get into his diet and workout routine Diet Now one of the most important things to note about Garou’s physique is that he is extremely lean while also packing a pretty decent amount of muscle. If I had to guess, his body fat percentage must be around 5-6%. For some of us that might be a little too lean and we can choose to hover around 8-9% body fat instead.

Attack on Titan: Levi Ackerman Workout and Diet

 Alright fellas, I know many of you wanna know this but there's not a lot of info out there. I'm a huge AoT fan AND I've read the manga and the Levi backstory. Couple points to note about Levi:- -He's short -Incredibly Strong -Slim but Ripped -Loves Tea That should be good enough Damn! Look at that face...woah hold on. I'm straight. Anyway back to the post Diet Now I don't think Levi was a person who was watching his diet a lot. I remember reading somewhere that he only sleeps for 3 hrs a night. Many people think that that is horrible for your health. Although that may be true there is actually a way to do that without it harming your health but in order to be able to do it you might have to change your diet and quite drastically at that. In order to be able to sleep so less, first you need to change your diet to 50-60% raw fruits and vegetables. Remember RAW. Another thing is your gonna have to sleep at least 4-5hrs after your last meal of the day and go to sle...
