Heey,
I go to the gym since december. I started at 83,6 kg now I am at 79,4 kg. My goal is about 72 to 74 kg without losing too much muscles.
Right now I cant do a single pull up and I do a upper body lower body split.
Upper body:
- Lat Pulldowns (cable)
- Seated Rows (cable)
- Australian Pull ups
- Push Ups
- Dead Hangs
- Shoulder press (seated with dumbbells)
- bicep curls standing with Dumbbells
- Triceps cable machine
And lower body days I do
Leg press Leg extensions (machine) The other Leg machine that I pull back lol Lunges Knee raises on pull up bar
The wednesday and saturday I do inclined walking at 15% incline and 4 km/h speed for 30 minutes
My thought is losing weight, makes pull ups easier and doing some more bodyweight stuff.
Im scared I will develop disbalance somewhere, am I missing something?
While you can, if weak enough or the tendons aren’t used to the motion you can actually cause strain and minor injuries. It depends on the person’s current fitness level, but if negatives don’t feel doable there’s no harm starting even slower with dead hangs and scapular pulls, or even assisted/banded negatives.
I mean you’re literally just standing normally, holding onto something, and then slowly putting weight on what you’re holding onto. I really can’t see how this can go wrong.
Only if you can’t stand or can’t move your arms or something would this not be possible.
