      same, ive only been in one relationship my whole life. I got over my need for a gf phase but now im getting back into it slowly

      started dating my "the one" 7 months ago, i have no doubt that she's the woman i want to marry but it's gonna be long distance for atleast 2 more years (possibly more, we're both in college in different cities) and im kinda bored of it tbh
      there was another girl i was hooking up with in my college friend group, i miss sex with her like crazy
      a gf isnt always worth it bros, esp if its long distance and you have a bunch of distractions in your life

          man, im more likely to cheat on her, which makes me feel terrible
          she was a virgin when we started dating, and she's never had a boyfriend nor been interested in a man before (or atleast in the 5 years that i've known her for)

        Grass is always greener anon. Once you break up you'll be regretting it. Which isn't to say it's not the right choice, but you'll always want what you don't have

          I found a couple "bohemian" types at my uni, never dated them but they were very open minded and didnt care when I said rw stuff, but I was a trump normie not really that political
          there are 2 types imo, short hair girls who are open minded but left wing or insane neurotic ones

    Chinups use bicep in conjunction with lats while pulls are mostly lats.
    Most people don't know how to utilize their lats let alone strengthen them.

      This. Plus the lever effect. In chin ups the arms are close to body making it easier where in pull ups the arms are spreaded to the side. Its like the difference in bench press and bench fly

    Not only bicep recruitment but also elbows are consistently closer to the body, which decreases the radius and therefore decreases the torque needed for a rep

    Chin ups are only easier for people with round shoulders who can't activate the lats to save thair life.

    Weak back and rounded shoulder being the most common bad posture in today's youth, most people find chin ups way easier because they will use the biceps, deltoides, and even some front core muscle to do the pulling motion.

      Honestly, even the cue of "just lean back a bit" helps people understand pullups.
      It's just not something people are used to doing.

      Chinups are easier even for those with strong backs because you use more muscle groups to perform the movement.

          Yes
          They look good enough for you to be seen in public with and be attracted to, but not too good to the point where every man will be eye fricking her wherever she goes.
          They also have better personalities because they couldn't lean on their looks their entire lives for everything, and their egos are smaller

    There are some good answers here. I would add that pullups are harder because there is a very weak link in the chain: that forearm brachioradialis muscle. Its pretty small and might be the first thing to give out, rendering the movement impossible.

    I train both movements, but rely more on chinups as they allow for more reps, and more sets before failure, which has led to greater hypertrophy. I do some pullups, however, to try and strengthen that brachioradialis muscle and to maintain strength with that movememnbt pattern, as well. But chins are better for overall strength and hypertrophy.

    How many chinups should I be able to do to make it worthwhile Vs using the assisted chinup machine

    • 2 years ago
      Anonymous

      The assisted machine is trash not worth the metal used to make it. It locks you into an unnatural position that doesn't quite translate to regular chin ups. You're much better off using resistance bands to help you get a chin up until you can do it without help. If your gym doesn't have them, they're dirt cheap in Decathlon or whatever Mutts have
