no lat machine and no pull up bar

You grab the bar with a wider than shoulder width grip. Palms facing down. You are going to look like an upside down pushup where your facing the ceiling. Place your feet on a bench to add difficulty to the exercise. With your arms wider than shoulder width apart and the heel of your feet on a bench pull yourself up to the bar. Pause and then slowly lower yourself down. I'll try to find a pic for ya bud.
I'd say put in a pull up bar (easy, even for you) and you can do weighted pull-ups.
Reverse rows (to me) are bent over rows w/barbell but you grab bar like you are
doing curls (palm up) and raise elbows to the up past your back to the roof - same
as bent over rows but grip is reversed. (same thing you talking about Da Fonz??)
Dumbbell pullovers are supposed to be hell on the shoulders - I love them
(HEAVY) but I dont do them every back workout.

What the hell does that mean??? lol
I can't put in a pull up bar because the ceiling is too low for me. I'm going to have to make a custom pull up bar myself that I can set into the ceiling joists, which are really the floor joists for the first floor, obviously it'll need to be strong enough to support my weight++.
Gbart start welding something that will fit into the frame of my ceiling that can support 300lbs. minimum.

ive used the smith machine bar or squat rack bar to do pullups on. my ceiling is only like 7ft. and im 6'1" easy so they aren't pretty pullups. But do them from the knees.
I usually assist with my feet since im not strong enough to do good, slow controlled pullups. I can half ass a dozen of them though.
thanks bro, I didn't even think of doing pull ups from my knees, I'll start them tomorrow morning and let you know how it goes.dreww said:ive used the smith machine bar or squat rack bar to do pullups on. my ceiling is only like 7ft. and im 6'1" easy so they aren't pretty pullups.

yeah ill weld you something up bro you pay shipping haha. Ive done exactly what fonz was talking about and it feels pretty good. ive also used a waist belt and chain to hand weight off of and make it more difficult. What kind of rows are you doing right now bro?
