Wings

Dustin216 Posts: 27 Joined: 2005/09/22	2006/02/25, 03:31 PM What other types of exercises besides wide pull-ups will hit my wings really good? Only time my wings get sore is when i do weighted wide pull-ups, if i dont do them i dont feel sore there the next day.

Do a weighted pull ups with 125% of your max, but only bringing the bar down to your forehead. Also, if he was doing weighted pull ups already, why would he want to do pulldowns and lesser movements? -------------- Iron and chalk. Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind. If you can still walk, then you can still run.
