I think you should add bodyweight squats or get creative with heavy objects you have around for extra weight. And if you can get a pullup bar, there is nothing replacing pullups for upper back strength. They help with everything including rounded shoulders( and you can do jump negatives to begin with).
- PhasmaFelis 8y agoIf you're starting from "overweight couch potato," it's probably best to start out as minimalist as possible and work up from there.
- Jeff_Brown 8y ago> there is nothing replacing pullups for upper back strength From a theoretical biomechanical perspective I would agree. My own subjective data, though, suggests that deadlifts cover approximately all of those muscles, and more. Also a barbell and some weights might be cheaper than a pullup bar -- at least if you plan on periodically repairing the door frame the pullup bar attaches to.
- therealdrag0 8y agoI've had a good experience with this type of pullup bar that pinches the wall (http://a.co/d/fL4oSCV http://a.co/d/fL4oSCV). It's only left some very minor dimples in the dry-wall.
