Which one is best?
Hammer grip :^) fuck your rules
>>36677558
Pullups of course. Is this even a question?
>>36677558
mixed grip
Depends on what you want to work on, chin ups will help your biceps and pull ups work your lats, just do both
>>36677558
Pull ups engages more back and a little bicep
Chin ups engage back but not as much as they do the bicep
Pull ups = back>biceps
Chin ups back<biceps
>>36677563
this is the best
lat pulldowns with the tbar row thing is godlike
>>36677603
bro science at its best
I do both honestly
I feel like they activate different muscles
>>36677589
suicide mixed grip, and launching yourself up at the top so you can quickly switch hands
chin-ups have been shown through EKG to activate as much or more back through larger ROM.
thanks for the mom-science tho
>>36677657
can't muscle up from a chin-up grip
cant pull over
cant back hip circle
can't kip up
can't do shit from a chin-up grip

im not that anon but I think this is it

http://breakingmuscle.com/strength-conditioning/pull-up-vs-chin-up-a-comparison-and-analysis
chin ups you have a larger rom for your lats, pull ups have the illusion of making your back wider but its cause you mainly just hit the teres major/rhomboids or whatever the fuck theyre called
Trappy had a post on this, I do chin ups
>>36677795
>caring what a mentally ill dyel has to say about lifting
>>36677731
Thanks for the link, but it literally says the chin up does not engage or use more muscles in the back then the pull up, it claims it uses the same groups but at different intensity, so long story short anon is retarded
>>36677686
i'm saying that even if chinups do activate more muscle than pullups (sus) pullups are superior as a progression towards more difficult movements. Chinups are a relative dead-end.
>>36677853
Fair assumption I suppose
>>36677837
>The pectoralis major and biceps brachii had significantly higher EMG activation during the chin up than during the pull up.
>The pull up had greater activation of the lower trapezius than the chin up.
So chinups are just better because they also train your biceps
>>36677809
That's probably him without any trip or name fag.
>>36677558
There's literally no reason not to do both, faggot.
>>36677853
Uhh, yeah, if you're already strong why do chinups?
Most do chinups because they're easier to do and can't perform pullups.
>>36677676
You can definitely do a muscle up from a chin up grip
>>36677558

pull up unless you're a faggot
>>36677915
That's a weird fucking muscle up you're doing then
>>36677611
Not even close retard.
With your hand fully pronated, your bicep contraction is weakened and there's much less capability to leverage the bicep on a pull.
With hands fully supinated, you bicep can achieve maximum contraction and is in a more effective position to pull.
Twist your hand in and out and feel how the bicep moves up as you supinate. It's the same reason you don't curl with an easy bar unless you're an idiot.

you sound...upset...friend :^)
>>36677969
wait, you aren't supposed to curl with an EZ bar?
i have been for 3 years

>my board
god this place has gone to shit when 15 year olds are calling /fit/ "my board"
>>36677969
But I can do way more chin than pull, wouldn't relying on bicep mean I can do more pull than chin?
>>36678057
What the fuck are you saying?

Chin ups allow for a much larger stretch of the lat, thats why i do them
For people saying they get easy, buy a belt with a chain
just do both wtf
i do chinups on arm/shoulder day and pull ups on back/chest day
i do pullups
i can do 3 with 40kg added
Military requires pullups on testing so I do those more.
>>36678150
This. Add weight you pussy bitches.
>>36678034
you can it's just that it's not as effective as doing dumbbell or straight bar curls because the bicep gets full contraction at a supinated position
if you're going to do curls why not just do them the way that gives you most results right?
>>36678714
arm/shoulder and back/chest split? are you retarded? Thats honestly the dumbest split i've heard.
>>36681289
arms/shoulders
back/chest
legs
why what
>>36678702
this
>>36681299
well first your arms are going to be fatigued on your chest/back day and it'll hinder your lifts. Second there's literally no better research supported split than a ppl (back/bis, chest/tris/shoulders, legs). Muscle groups that work together should be done on the same day. Your bis and tris don't work together at all, neither does your chest and back.
>>36677558
I do pullups and chinups as a warmup every time I work out. chin-ups are much easier than pull-ups to do and I do the same amount of reps for each. I still think its important to do both, idk why you guys are acting like you have to choose one over the other.
do bof
chin ups all day baby
>>36677603
The problem with pullups is that people often do it with a wider grop and end up with an elbow-into-ribcage kinda of humerus path, which hits your uppper back a lot more. Chin ups recruit more biceps, yeah, but allow you to actually keep your elbows tucked and engage your lats a lot more. I'd say the ideal is a pullup with a norrow grip while making sure to keep your humerus tucked at all times.
Guys is it a problem if I can't go as high (chin above the bar) on my second and third set of pull ups? Currenly stuck on 8-7-6 reps

use the pyramid method for pull-ups

reverse pyramid you mean

Straight bar gives me those forearm splint things and EZ bar makes it hurt less
