But for people like me, Who either dont want to go to gym or havent got time for gym, This work while standing helps a lot. I didnt had to do any change in my schedule at all. It was a bit of pain for first week. Legs hurt. But now its all right. Doing it over a year. Also I get issues relate to tennis elbow, cranking knees once i start some regime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkt.india Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I want definition . That requires a very low fat percentage 15 or below to get real good muscle definition. By losing fat with a very disciplined diet along with a combo of cardio and weights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eating habits take the centre-stage here, and I for one find that to be the hardest part. I personally don't bother about it now. 20% is fine.

Even if you are lean, you wont have abs automatically until you work hard on developing ab muscles which is a pain in the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be the case when you are trying to emulate professional athletes or models. I personally never found it too hard to have a nice set of abs. It's just the fat thing that hides it partially. But I do agree that abs are quite overrated. Maintaining them requires a lot of pointless sacrifices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rahulrulezz Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Went from 0 pullups to 5 :icflove: Now try doing close grip pull up. They are not only easier than your regular pull-ups but it's a great biscep exercise. Pull ups are primarily back/lat exercise but bicep is the secondary muscle group used in it. In a close grip pull-up, bisceps are used more than any other pull ups exercise but back is still the primary muscle group. So for ppl who don't go to gym, close grip pull is a great way of working on bisceps I always do close grip pull-ups at the end of my regular pull-ups :--D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: A doubt...Do you usually extend your arms fully while going down in a pullup? This guy scooby(on youtube) who is great BTW, says it's better stop just before the arms straighten out and that is an unnecessary motion..

This guy scooby(on youtube) who is great BTW, says it's better stop just before the arms straighten out and that is an unnecessary motion.. I do the same. I never straighten the arm as that's basically the point where all the buildup gets released. Same with dumbells, I hardly ever go full motion.
