ttrace35... I agree with you about Chins. But I think Dips are equally important. A buddy of mine has been going to the Gym for 2 years straight and every time he comes over I try to get him to do some Chins or Dips on my old school Soloflex(yes, the soloflex sucks but it's great for Chins and Dips which is all I need it for) and he still can't do any. For those that can't do any chins... I recommend starting out with Negative Chins. Start from the top and lower yourself down as slowly as you can. Do this for a few weeks and you'll be able to do regular chins in no time. Like Trace said... Chins are one of the best exercises a person can do. I think the reason why people hate them so much is because it's virtually impossible to cheat when doing a Chin.

#37I agree on how great pullups are. However I think the single best exercise for the body are squats. Combine the two and you're on your way.Comment -

#39Don't sell yourself short... Doing pullups and dips are the best measures of proportionate strength. If someone is bigger, they have more muscle, but more weight to pull up. If you are smaller, you have less weight to pull up, but less muscle to do it.
Pullups and dips are the best for measuring comparative strength.Comment -

#40I would say 99% of people in the world can't do a full range pull up, wide grip for 10 reps.
The heavier you are the harder it is too obviously. I can do 7-8, maybe more if I'm "fresh" and my first "set"
Chin ups....pfff, those are easy, can do those all day.
My workout partner is pretty strong and he can't even do ONE, db presses 120 lbs......Comment -

#42Pushup are good but can't compare to pullups. You use almost every upper body muscle. When you first start doing them, you abs will hurt because it take a lot of core strength to keep you from swinging as your pulling up. The v-shape make your body look completely different. You should try this paco. I started out doing 5 sets of 3 reps. Everyday. Within a month or two I was able to easily do 8-10.but this^^^ I will prob start doing I never thought of it like that 5 sets 3 reps and gradually move up
I've never really worked out so any other helpful pointers r much appreciated
....I need to be swoll by next march for spring break

#47they refer to them as over hand pull ups because when you pull yourself up you're pulling yourself over your hands when they are in front of the bar. Those are harder for me to do than under hand pull ups. When I weighed 265 I could only do 3 over hand pull ups at a time, but now that I weigh 220 it is easier to get more in. The smaller lighter weight guys can usually do more than bigger, heavier guys as a general rule, but there are always exceptions. If you can't do even one then use a chair to push off with one leg to start off with. Eventually you will be able to do 5 or 6 in a row without the chair. Most people aren't born being able to do 10 over hand pull ups in a row. It is an excellent and cheap exercise to do though I agree 100 percent. P90x has you doing push ups and pull ups for an hour straight without much of a break. Those kinds of work outs are way better than buying a gym membership to do curls or use the machines.Comment -

#48One of my dad's best friends went to a state wrestling meet and there was a stand being run by the ARMY; they had a pull-up contest. He bested a 20 year old that had the record at 31; he did just one more, 32, and probably could have done a few more. Oh yeah, he was 60 years old. 5'10, not sure what he weighed
This guy loves to work out, he has motivated me recently; especially since I have always sucked at doing pull-ups. I remember not being able to do any when i weighed 170 (6'0") and I worked myself up to 8. Not being able to do any was kinda funny; just giving 10 tries per set with out doing anyComment -

#54You guys are fukkin weak. Talkin all this weight lifting bullshit. Get on a pull up bar. Bo$$. TT Warrior. Do some fukkin pullups. You workout dudes go to the gym everyday, and run to the machines. That's why your still a skrauny punk. Do pullups for 3 months. Watch your body transform. I might make a video of this JJ. The "proper training method".
