Get Big Arms With Pull Up Bars
Everybody has been scared to get onto the pull up bar at one time or another. It is because it will let you and everybody else know how strong you really are. Forget doing a ton of curls or bench presses. If getting your head over the bar is impossible to do then you are not pound for pound strong. Introducing pull ups to a workout routine is something that should be done when trying to get into shape.
Next time you are at the gym take a second to see who is using the chin up bar. Most people will have a lean muscular body. Since the workout uses your body weight it does not get the chance to build up bulk. You cannot add more weight to your body so you have to do more reps. Doing so will add strength and endurance.
If you are looking for a back, bicep, shoulder, and core workout then this is what you need. Depending on what type of pull up you are doing, the bicep is going to take the brunt of the exercise. Reverse grip chin ups focus on back, shoulders, and abs. Wide front grip pull ups use shoulders, back, and your core. Close front grip pull ups use shoulders, back, and core. Most people do not realize it but your core get a workout as it needs to keep the rest of the body in one place.
It is not uncommon to see people put on ten pounds of lean muscle within a month just from working on chin ups. You use your own body weight to provide the resistance. The chance of injury is very lower when doing them because gravity is doing all of the work and there are no free weights dangling around.
Many people who get use to doing them take a break from doing curls as they are getting better results from pull ups. It is more fun telling people that you can do 20 chin ups at one time then saying you curl 45 pounds. If you want to sculpt your upper body and arms then you need to go and get a P90X pull up bar as soon as possible and start trying to do them. The pull up bar is a favorite with people who do PX90.
