That's crazy good. 2.3x bodyweight 5rm is pretty sweet (you weigh like 165 right?) You should try and see if you can do a 1 armed chin. Might be possible with those DL numbers.
I'm fairly certain I can't do a 1 armed chin up. I'm not following how deadlift strength would translate to that movement, wouldn't it be primarily bicep/lat strength required?
So there's a dude on youtube (Brian Chia) who weighs 185 and pulls like 600. He said he never trained one arm chins and suddenly found out he could do them one day.
Deadlift requires pretty legit upper back strength which are the prime movers of the chinup.

ReplyDeleteYeah, 165ish, it's going up slowly.

Damn, dude can move some iron.
ReplyDeletereading through this makes me think I'm not actively retracting my scaps enough:

this might mean my working loads for deadlift are gonna take a hit... :( I'll play around with the form with some relatively light loads soon.
