Hard times makes strong men. I been doing pull ups. I can only do a few, but after a year of hitting it almost every day, it's really helped my mood and energy.
These are amazing. A couple years back my mother got one of these for my brother and one for me as Christmas gifts. I use it every day, and though she doesn't really like it, my wife uses it too (though she can't do pullups yet).
Start doing negatives. My very out of shape brother, 5’9 at 110kg couldn’t do 1. Only took like a fortnight of half ass casually doing negatives to go from 0 to like 2 or 3.
Jump to top of bar so you’re in the top position, then resist your weight as You fall down. Go as slowly as you can until you’re at the bottom then repeat. Once you can do 1 rep, do your 1 rep followed by a negative.
If you can do half a pull up, then try and do half a pull up as fast as you can, go half way, drop about 20% of the rom, then go back to half way. “Bounce” around in that hard area As long as you can.
Tada! You don’t need any special equipment and can get stronger at pull ups now
Yeah, chin ups are weird man. Back when I could bench 225 I could only do maybe 3 full pull ups. It’s just a different set of muscles that I swear some people just can’t develop
Can't anymore but back in my youth when I cycled to school every day, I could do 80 with no additional training. Anyone up to 30 without excessive weight to lose should be able to get there pretty quickly.
hey, you don't have to believe me. I'm ok with that. In addition to regular push ups I was doing multiple sets of prison cell push ups. Prison Cell Pushups. P90X are 90 minute full body workouts. I had crazy upper body strength. I constantly got compliments on the muscle tone of my arms.
Good stuff.

Do you have a good, strong doorway? If so, get yourself one of these.

Congrats on the weight loss. I'll bet you feel a lot better :)
Any good youtubers you can recommend?
Been doing DDPY(super convenient when travelling for work) and lifting. I feel great.

That's not push ups, that's humping the floor.
A push up with proper form (say, military rules) is no joke.
No way in hell someone can do 100 without being an athlete that trains for endurance.
This is a proper push up

I was an athlete and I had endurance.
Doing 100 push ups and not being able to do one single pull up is impossible.
It would be an unbelievable muscle imbalance, no matter your level of fitness.
It's great to stay active and keep that blood pumping.
The most pull ups I can do at once is 5 or 6, but a few reps a day, every day for over a year.
