The guy at my gym said chinups are much easier and work more of your biceps. He suggested I start with chinups, then go negative rep pullups and work up to a straight leg unassisted pullup which he said is more lat work.
I wanna be able to do lots of pullups!
Did one the other week but later found out it was a chin up
Tried unassisted pullups again on Monday night but can only do a negative rep one at the moment.

I got a friend to watch my back on the 75 and she said I was rounding it at the start of the lift, which I could feel too so I think at this stage it's just too heavy. My back hurts straight after deadlifts and continues to hurt for the rest of the night which I'm starting to worry about.

I was just being silly.
Kudos to him.
In other news, arguing with my sister about squats. She squats with dumbells and I squat in the squat rack; according to her squatting in the squat rack is cheating. I said, tell me how?
So how fit is he? Well. He can deadlift 240 kilos, squat 190, bench 150, clean and jerk 150 and snatch 120. He's also said to be as aerobically fit as an Olympic swimmer.
Does he even lift?

Yeah I'm not sure why my left side is so sore. I assume my technique is still off as I can see I'm rounding my back. I'm going to practise with a rod tonight and make sure it's staying in contact with my head, back and tailbone as I'm pretending to deadlift. Hopefully I can fix the problem.
