I'm not paying attention to this thread much, but why are you doing chinups only instead of curls, or curls and chinups?EggMcMuffin wrote: ↑Sat Oct 01, 2022 7:44 pm Chinning everyday for a month, biceps still the same. Thanks, I hate it.
SS and or lifting weights fucked up my body composition as well, I'm 170lbs but I look fucking FAT. Fuck having a physical body, I want to be a lifeless form
If you don't have access to an assisted pull up/chinup machine, I'd prioritize curls.
And no, bands are not a great source for assisted chinups for hypertrophy because of where they reduce stress the most
Being able to scale the load for curls vs same weight all the time for chinups is an advantage
Significantly lighter loads, while also being able to isolate better (no worry about swinging or cheating), is probably significant in preventing grip fatigue from adverse effects of targeting biceps
easier to have controlled eccentrics (not tempo)
Given what we know about full ROM/muscle length and 30-80% effectiveness for hypertrophy, I'd honestly just swap them for Pendlay rows
But also, do curls if chinups aren't achieving your goal of bicep size increase
And also, are you measuring your biceps and tracking your nutrition?
And also also, 4 weeks isn't really a reasonable time to have noticeable muscle growth
