Half pull up for the Lats Interestingly the book you shared says that the Pull movement of the pull up is initiated by rotating the scapula which is done by Rhomboids/lower traps. I find both of these areas as my weak points, any tips to fix these ? |

Should I reboot Starting Strength program, to get better results? This is a good answer. Safety is of paramount importance. |

Half pull up for the Lats Grease the Groove and Dave's idea both have merit and I am all set to apply it :-) but the answer to my question.. Lower half pull up or the upper half which works that Lats more ? |

Half pull up for the Lats @zero-divisor : I think if I have stronger Lats I will do more pullups, right now may be the arms give up before the lats do :( |

Half pull up for the Lats @DaveLiepmann ,zero-divisor : I think if I have a better mind-muscle connection with the Lats I will be able to do more pullups. Though after doing 30 reps I do feel my lats have worked out well but I am not sure I use them well when I am doing the exercise. I will give you a reason.Like I said I am able to do 5-6 normal pullups, recently a bloke taught me how to do behind the neck pullups and I was able to do 10 of them and I felt like I was pulling more with the Lats but I feel shoulder pain after doing that, so I want to stick to the normal pull up.Goal is to learn to engange my lats more. |

Correct seated Row technique @GetFitChimp : I will up vote the answer :-) How to train with this exercise, more Reps, less Reps, how many sets ? I somehow don't get tired doing this no matter what volume. |

Muscle building exercises without looking like the Hulk, think toned and defined @MikeDeck : I agree for the strength part but I don't agree if linear progression is possible with eating less. The only option is to gain first and then lose. :-) |

Muscle building exercises without looking like the Hulk, think toned and defined @MikeDeck : With due respect Mike, have you read Starting Strength ? There is a rant in it "If you are following the program" where Rippetoe advocates Caloric surplus again and again or may be this rant is on Rippetoes forum. 2nd point is linear progression which is very much emphasized as a part of SS, linear progression stops at a much early stage without caloric surplus. I am not against your answer but it is not perfectly aligned with SS theories. Also the kind of body OP wants is not what SS is more aligned to give. I think Calric surplus and linear progression are very much a part of SS. |

Muscle building exercises without looking like the Hulk, think toned and defined Well if he followed Rippetoe's advice he is going to get Big, I have no doubts about that. Linear Progression is related to calorie intake. It is another story if he just picks the exercises and decides against progression. Also Starting strength leaves the core/abs parts unchecked something which someone who wants to look lean would want to consider. It is a great program for most people no doubt. |

Breaking down on Starting Strength Yes almost. I added 10 pounds on the bench, 15 pounds on Squats nothing on the rows may be I can deadlift more but I am afraid because of the back pain. Like I said I would deload 5-10 pounds very often get them back and then deload again if I get sick, injured or keep feeling tired for some time. All my gains and strength are from the first 6 months of training and almost zero gains after that. very disappointing :-( I thought this was the case when you start reaching body weight but I see some lifters going on while I might have stalled to an extent. |

Breaking down on Starting Strength Thanks Dave. I will take this as the answer and probably take two weeks off straight away and then start close to 30% deloads depending on how I feel. It is frustrating not to be able to make progress for 2-3 months and getting injured. The current injury wakes me up some times in the night while turning on the bed so important to get rid of it. |
