Who else loves wide grip pullups?

[TRUCKBROKE]

Just wondering how many of you guys love doing wide grip pullups. I love them. I think the biggest reason is because I can. I hang a 45 lb plate off a belt and do 20 16 10 8. I like being over 200 pounds and doing them. Not very many people in my gym do them. I feel alot more of a pump than when I use a Lat machine.

I also love em, I've been debating whether or not to get a belt to hang weights off.

Nothing like wide grip p-ups to widen the back.Ill do 2-3 sets of 15 to stretch the lats before hit the back hard.

 

[TRUCKBROKE]

Yeah, I feel like they tighten everything up.
How many people can really do these. I really do see some strong 200 plus guys in my gym that just can`t do them. Not sure why. Seems like they should do them better than me but, there good to get 3-4 at time. They see me hanging a plate and think theres something wrong with me. I have seen a big fucker about a year ago hang two plates and throw towels over a bar grab the towels and pull up to the bar the towels wear wraped around. no shit. Did several sets like this. Back was V-ed out like a monster.

I do love em', I am 190 I could probably only hang a 25 on me in order to get 20.

I think it prob hurts some guys shoulders. I dont mind them but i prefer rack pulls for a big back.

I love doing back...and I swear by deadlifts and rows.
But WGPU are rough for me...

Love em. Got a weighted dip belt for dips and wide grip pull ups. Also really widens the upper back. Love deads and rackpulls 2 they also help w/that.
