Good call on the pullups. My personal favorite way to do them is to sling a towel over a branch or some rafters and hang onto it so that my grip-strength/forearms get challenged as well. A minimalist and deceptively easy exercise program involving pullups, pushups and bodyweight squats is outlined at a site called Simplefit. I think it's worth looking into for anyone who wants to add exercise into their life without going to the gym.

technically what dr mercola demonstrates are "Chin-ups"
A Chin-Up is when you use underhand grip.
Pull-up is using an overhand grip. These are generally somewhat more difficult.
I've never really ... ( 1 year ago by wurlybird9)
I've never really done the towel thing, I need a stronger and longer towel than the gym towels where I work out. I really ought to bring one sometime.
I think variety is the best, as long as you have the time, you want to work the muscles from as many angles as possible, depending on whether you use bars, dumbbells, cables, etc....the muscle will experience highest stress at different points of the range of motion.
one last comment ... ( 1 year ago by wurlybird9)
one last comment since I've got to keep them short. It certainly does do wonders for grip strength. As a keyboardist and guitar player, I can appreciate that. By building forearm muscles and stretching the tendons, I also find relief from computer-related RSI (carpal tunnel).
Don't worry so much about your bench press, build a strong back, you want emphasis to be on muscles that pull you upright, not hunch you forward. It will certainly help you in your posture.
Ok, just another ... ( 1 year ago by wurlybird9)
Ok, just another tip. I can't help it, I am really excited about pull-ups...they're a great way for most athletes to get a complete upper body***
To start, just hang, as long as possible. That alone strengthens the grip. It helps you stretch too. I still hang between exercises. Can also swing shoulders, twist obliques, leg lifts to strengthen abs and hip flexors...all while improving the grip. I have naturally soft hands and it took me a while to build up some callous!
Secondly, you'll ... ( 1 year ago by wurlybird9)
Secondly, you'll probably start with just one or two reps....do as many sets as you can. Not just three, do several. Your bodyweight is a lot compared to using machines. But by hanging freely, the mechanics differ...you're less likely to injure yourself, so go ahead, tough 'em out, over, and over...grunt if you have to :)
Pullups pulled me right past my plateaus on machines like pulldowns and rows. (try different angles for different back muscle involvement...)
Don't need to build ... ( 1 year ago by mercola)
Don't need to build up callous on your hands. Just use a bar with foam padding like the one I illustrate
Good workout. Chins ... ( 1 year ago by Megile)
Good workout. Chins are fantastic, but difficult for beginners.
Try rack chins if you struggle with full chins. They are some what easier and allow you to maintain strict movement across the sets.
Pullup = back ... ( 1 year ago by DeFo06)
Pullup = back muscles
Chinup = biceps/back

Thanks Dr.Mercola! I usually can't even do 2 of them at the gym. I'll definitely check this out. You have to drill them in though?
