  Man i remember in january i couldn’t do a single pull up and now i can do multiple sets of 5 clean reps. You have been a huge help for me and an inspiration to get in shape. Thanks a lot for the educational videos!

I haven&apos;t seen him since last Oct when you &amp; I chatted on the phone :) Hope you n family &nbsp;are doing well. &nbsp;Hope you liked the book Champion.

  I stopped doing lat pulldowns a couple months ago and only do pull-ups now. My back strength has exploded. Never going back

  I&apos;ve seen assisted pull up machines before, but not one like the Smith style you made. If you came up with that Idea, you should patent it. By the way, your videos are great.

  A good example that supports your point is the Russian athlete Alexander Smaev. He built his massive back primarily through pull-ups. At a body weight of about 140 kg, he can still perform pull-ups with an extra 100 kg attached. His back development is insane.
