Now reading through the Training threads i have seen some good & some very negative comments. The Goal here should be to help People not sarcastic comments from 1 Person in particular. To start from Scratch we will look at two scenarios, the Guy who wants to join a Gym or the Home tainer Maybe on a small Budget, given that some Legion recruits are Young & from poor lands. My suggestions are as followed..
The Gym Trainer should work up to bodyweight chins & good form on the assisted machine. Now this is important...really lower on the NEGATIVE..lower on the downward movement as slow as possible. Studies have shown that the NEGATIVE Portion of a repatition is the most productive. Look at Mike Mentzer Training. Picture i will post of a typical machine.
The Home Trainer... Now i am a big fan of Bands. They can be very effective in many exercises giving you constant Tension as good as cables in the Gym if used properly. So get some bands off Ebay or what ever.. there are bands of various strengths. Bands are used by pros in Benches & Deadlifts so not for idiots. The Video below will tell you how. Work down to lower strength bands then eventually bodyweight with perfect form.
The Home Trainer who can´t afford Bands should put a stool under the chin bar help himself up with one leg (or Training Partner) then in the top Position LOWER SLOWLY ON THE NEGATIVE...you will Train all the muscles needed & will if you Train with intent reach full chins Positive & negative. So a Repetition is made up of two components. When you understand this then you can use the Negative to build strength.
