Means nothing. I can perform weighted chins 40 Kgs for 3 sets of 5 quite easily . I can't deadlift more than 1.3 my BW ? why ? because I started training legs very recently. All about being a specialist or not
BRO TIP! If you continue to do chins without any issues as your body weight goes up, it’s a good indicator that your strength is proportional to your weight gain. If you gain weight and chin ups get more difficult to perform, or impossible, chances are you’re gaining more fat than muscle and you need to tweak your diet.
Is your gym really not smart enough to just stretch a band across pegs in the cage to assist, and then move the band down to progress? This is much better than the ghetto lat pulldown setup you're using, because you actually get to do pull ups.
@@xmoogoox The solution is for a commercial facility to provide commercial equipment. The racks you guys use were high tech back in the 60’s… Most garage gyms these days are far better equipped than SS gyms. Modern racks from REP and Rogue can even have cables integrated into them so you wouldn’t give up any floor space. Yes, I understand SS is all about extremely basic programming focusing exclusively on barbell movements but considering the number of senior citizens you guys train I cant believe you dont think it would be appropriate to have a few simple machines for accessory movements. Even Rip has a leg press, lat pulldown, etc.
Doing negatives gets you there way faster than band assisted pullups.
💯
Yeah because pushups don't really help chin-ups 💀
First time I've heard the 1 1/2 body weight deadlift for the first chin up -- I like it.

And chest to bar from a dead hang, zero swing, full body tension ;)
excellent presentation!
Great video!
Anyone have success getting rid of medial epicondylitis from doing too many chinups?
Yes.Protocol worked. Nothing to lose but to try.
I just do (assisted) pull ups instead.
Yes. Protocol worked.
How come you're not going chest to bar on these chin-ups? I thought that was the Starting Strength standard.

This is starting strength. They don’t care about that. Get fat and hip drive baby
SS doesn’t care about muscle gain. They just want gain aka fat gain
@@jerrythomas4457wrong… but you already know that 👹
@@jerrythomas4457yea seriously, look how fat the coach is in the video!
SS is the way
Whey
One should not consider chin ups an "ancillary" exercise. One should make it a primary exercise.

These SS “gyms” are so poorly equipped they have to rig up a ghetto pulley system for lat pulldowns😂🤦♂️😳.
What's a better solution? Considering they're used about 1% of the time and we'd have to remove a platform if we wanted a standalone machine?
The only thing ghetto is your lack of an educated opinion.
