Pull-Up Perfection
Most of us have memories of doing chinups and pull-up for P.E. or gym class when we were in school, and most of these memories are not good. However, they absolutely were good for us! Fortunately, this simple exercise has benefits even if you can only do one chin-up! The key with chin-ups and pull-ups is to just get started and then continue doing them regularly.
Chin-ups and pull-ups strengthen your arms, back, abdomen, and grip. They are a true test of a persons upper body strength as it enables an individual to raise all of his/her body weight while using the grip of their hands to suspend from and object. Here at Train Station Fitness we have our clients peform pull-ups or some form of exercise related to pull-ups such as assisted pull-ups or olympic ring back rows.
The video below shows Jason peforming some pull-ups. Stay tuned as we will be showing some variations of pull-ups using different grips and movements.
I am 38 years old I was in the Marine crops as oinfantryman during the Desert Storm in 1991 I was 21 years old. I even ran a marathon just to give it a try and finished in just under 4hrs, well the final blow came when I saw a perfect PT score 20 pllups 80 sit-ups in 2 min and a 3 mile run scored you a perfect 300pts. I finished the run and that was my first af many pefrect fitness accomodations. Botttom line is I am a mess right now, 40lbs overwieght, I can barely do 20 push-ups and would be lucky if I could squeeze out two pull-ups. I love the MMA stuff and just want to know if thios is the right place for a guy like me?
