Hey guys, I need to change my workout routine because I have to workout at home (because of Covid). I can do about 4 pull ups with my own bodyweight – so those are not really an option... I usually do Bent over rows + pulldowns at the gym. But I can't do pulldowns at home. And I don't have enough weight for Deadlifts. Any good alternative for pulldowns?
You could do inverted rows/pullups If you need to load them you could put a weight on your lap (See 5th slide for a demo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAXfK1FAphb/?igshid=1ltk0ayvgkbsz Or you could do band assisted pull ups
G'day! Yep, what Browner said I reckon. Otherwise you can build in progression for pullups in the form of a combination of increasing negatives and full reps (eg start with negatives and increasing those reps, then do full reps and negatives, add reps via rest-pause etc). Or simply change to another back exercise if possible (purchase DBs for DB rows, BB rows etc)
