Favorite Exercise - Aeowulf - Oct 4, 2024
What's your favorite exercise and why?
I LOVE the PULLUPS.
A simple body weight exercise, it's challenging, but also a good indicator of overall fitness.

It very much is! Great cardio, full-body workout. Good for mental health too.

My favorite exercise would have to probably be pull ups. Forward facing pull ups to be exact, not the ones where you curl your arm. Pull ups really build up them forearms.

YES. These are the ones. The curl type I just call chin-ups.

Bingo. And yes, you're right.. chin-ups probably would be the official name to call the other type. Forward facing ones are more difficult, but they sure do a good job at strengthening up the forearm.

They're more difficult AT FIRST. When i first started doing both, I could do more chin ups, so I kept doing them. In a year, i went from 8 to 12. Not much improvement. I hurt my wrist so switch to a true pullup, and I could only do 2. Fast forward 2 months and I was doing 14. It took me another year to get to 20, and then another to get to 24 (because I usually just stopped at 20).

Yeah, that's how it pretty much started for me too. When I first tried them, I was like hell no.. these are too difficult. But after watching my friend doing them repeatedly, it motivated me to start getting myself conditioned to do it. Started small, and as you said, just worked my way up slowly. I haven't done them in sometime.

Pull-ups are my favorite because they really challenge your upper body strength.
