Heey,
I go to the gym since december. I started at 83,6 kg now I am at 79,4 kg. My goal is about 72 to 74 kg without losing too much muscles.
Right now I cant do a single pull up and I do a upper body lower body split.
Upper body:
- Lat Pulldowns (cable)
- Seated Rows (cable)
- Australian Pull ups
- Push Ups
- Dead Hangs
- Shoulder press (seated with dumbbells)
- bicep curls standing with Dumbbells
- Triceps cable machine
And lower body days I do
Leg press Leg extensions (machine) The other Leg machine that I pull back lol Lunges Knee raises on pull up bar
The wednesday and saturday I do inclined walking at 15% incline and 4 km/h speed for 30 minutes
My thought is losing weight, makes pull ups easier and doing some more bodyweight stuff.
Im scared I will develop disbalance somewhere, am I missing something?
If you wanna do X, practice X. In fitness, for almost anything, there’s an easy version of the thing. In this case, negative pullups.
Can’t speak to the whole routine but for pullups I’d suggest negatives first and then banded pullups. Some gyms even have weight assisted pull up machines
I have a weighted machine in my gym but most ppl dont recommend them cause the core isnt actvated
Pullups are not a core exercise, so don’t worry about that. The assist will get you to unassisted pullups
