Bodyweight Could the Fighter Pull-up Program be improved?

[pet']

Hello,

Grip and forearms can be trained several ways
- hanging for time (weighted or not, one or two arms)
- carries (farmer, suitcase...)

Biceps could be chin ups (weighted or not). Or biceps curls (which can also engage the upper body if strictly performed)

Kind regards,

Pet'

Sorry for posting this so late, but here's a video of me doing 30 pull ups as promised -



(Had to record with phone's front camera, that's why the bad quality)

I'm doing weighted pullups for most of my time with Plan Strong. Before TSC I'm switching to FPP 5x/week and it works well. But, what I've noticed, that in my max-rep pull ups (over 20) it's my forearms, biceps and grip being pumped and tired, but I feel like my lats could do more reps. Any ideas of working on that?

Yeah I have the same issue, often I feel like I could do another pull up, but my grip just lets go. That's why I've started incorporating sets where I focus on holding on to the bar as long as possible while doing a pull up every ~5 seconds.

People were expecting half reps and you crushed it. Great work!
