It's more efficient. It's like saying benchpress is cope and you should just do 400 pushups a day instead.

It's terrific, right? So you know, I am in heaven."

Agreed. Just getting up off the couch to take a crap instead of rotting in your own feces is all you need.

It's just another unnecessary ego lift that you don't need

6-12 full reps of any compound will promote the fastest muscle growth

These. It depends on your goals but doing a chit-ton of pullups isn't useful if your goal is building strength and power.

I love taking advice from a non-lifter posting from a red alt. You know you're always getting quality tips!
*Look at reflection in car window and flex every time crew*
*Use half the roll to wipe after a poo crew*
*Fart in the gym and blame rotten smell on faulty ventilation crew*
*Fart at home and blame it on the dog crew*
*Watch neutron-star density poop mock me as water flushes around it and it stays put crew*
*Drive 2 minutes in the summer and back of shirt gets completely wet crew*
*Coffee black as midnight on a moonless night crew*
*Fat shame my cat on a daily basis crew*

I agree.

Most to just about all of the guys I see in my gym doing weighted pull ups, I would not count any of the "reps" they do as a rep.

If you are not in a pull up competition or have to do it as a fitness test, maybe really actually learn to really pull up instead of the least effort easiest as possible "technique", not really doing it Crossfit style but pretty damn close cause more reps means...what????? when you made those reps as easy as you can.

Oh and now lets do these really crappy making it as easy as possible "pull ups" with added weight.

Pull up, no momentum, no leg kick to half way up and stop. Hold it for a few seconds. No momentum, no leg kick, continue to pull up to chest and stop. Lower yourself down, not drop. This is control over your body, not flailing it around like a fish out of water. Once you can do it with control, then add weight

i'd say bodyweight pullups and dips are enough if you're well over 200 pounds if you're the weight of the average female you better be adding weight

That's around 95-98kg (210-216lbs)

Currently training with fat gripz for that underarm gainz, then I can just do a few reps with extra weight before my grip slips and then go back to BW with different grip variations.

lmao at doing weighted pull ups with anything less than a plate

I was expecting 90lb+ for reps with the amount of bragging you were doing

I'm not bragging, I'm disputing your stupid advice.

And since you don't believe in weight lifting you probably have no stats to compare
