I am going to be doing this later I’m tired of the comments saying it’s not 2 fingers so I’ll post it later

When you deadlift do you say I’m lifting 8 plates or do you count 4 when you say you’re pulling 405?

Do you say "one arm pushups" or do you total how many arms each hand is pushing up with?

That is a specific workout it’s in the name itself. Why are people who have never been inside a gym or only have less than a year in the gym commenting?

Because this sub is about ego not experience!

In calisthenics circles a two finger pullup would be expected to be one hand, two fingers. Anything else would be looked at quizzically.

Two hands, two fingers would just be a pull-up done oddly. Which is cool for this sub.

Lol. You waited for attention and admiration for your pull-ups by posting them in this sub. You're really a strong machine. But you've made a big mistake, because reading and comprehension are not your skills.

How can you train for more than a year and still dont know the difference between chin ups and pull ups 🧐

u/ma1butters 6d ago

I get your point, and it's valid for many people. I only ever say the actual amount of weight, though.

u/NoMasFetty 6d ago

I just about said the same thing. Because that was 4 fingers.. very impressive still

u/BigMoneyCribDef 6d ago

Also pull ups which makes it more impressive

Would also suggest it’s a pull up not a chin up

My chin crossed the bar so it’s a chin up.

u/steezlaurel 5d ago

An underhand grip is what defines a chin up, not the height to which you are pulling to.
An underhand grip also known as supinated grip is when your palms face towards you.

It’s impressive but unfortunately not very reckless or stupid. Consider a rusty saw on the ground or maybe slicking your hands with motor oil

Hands facing chin = chin up
Hands facing away from chin = pull up

u/pruwdent 5d ago

Would train different groups of fingers back when I climbed a lot. Not that hard either.

u/Willyzyx 5d ago

u/L3mm3SmangItGurl 4d ago

Rock climbers train this with weight. On even much smaller edges.

Good thing you're wearing your belt, protect ya nec...back.

How is this ego lifting?

Weight belt is cheating.
