Is there any use in doing a mixed set of 8 pull ups and 8 chin ups? x3
Eg
Do one pull up
Do one chin up
repeat this for 8 reps
since they hit different muscle groups
Are you saying you're switching grips every rep?

My gym has this thing where you can do three different kinds of pull ups. Should I do each one of them once to failure? Or focus on one. The "regular" one, maybe? I dunno, piggybacking on your question.

They hit the same muscle groups, they just emphasize different movers depending on your grip.
I do 3 sets to failure: 1 wide grip, 1 close grip overhand, 1 chin up.
well you could do a set of pull ups and then a set of chinups you fucking retard

Oh. I was right then.

No they don't. Pull ups don't work biceps
Chin ups do.
>>37249246
pull ups still work biceps they just put biceps in worse position for leverage than chinups
>>37249214
yes
>>37249226
I thought this way there would be more time for recovery between excercises

Pull-ups are the best for your lats, right?
Honestly guys help me I can't do a single pull-up. I'm donig SS but I wanted to incorporate some pull-ups to maximize my output for lats, but I'm unable to do a single one!
What can I do as an alternative?

Be serious and work on your pull-ups and chin-ups? Even if you can't do a single rep you should work on it, there's tons of articles and videos about it.

Thanks!
No, but there is nothing wrong with doing either, or, or both. Switching each rep or each set is pretty pointless though. You'd be better off doing say, 2 sets of pull ups, and then 2 sets of chin ups.
i always do at least 5 sets of 10
first three are always pullups, then i do a set of chins and a set of neutral
I used to do exclusively chinups but I was maxing out at about 20 dead hang and could barely do 8 pullups so I mixed it up.
i was doing 10x10 but it was giving me ridiculous tendonitis so I cut back. don't really do them weighted anymore. just a warm up for back and bi day.
a lot of people can't do a single pullup. best thing to do is negatives or have someone hold your feet

you can also try the lat pulldown
