I’ll do three sets of wide pull ups first thing when I work back. I feel my arms work less on wide grip. The issue I have with pull ups is generally the arms tire before the lats. Lat pull downs and cable rows are better as I can work the range of motion the lats are engaged easier.
I do like neutral grip pull ups, but you are pretty limited on grip width. The pull up bar at home is just a little too wide and the pull up bars at the gym are just a little too narrow.
I prefer chin ups. Would like to do neutral grip more often if I had a bar with the appropriate grip width.
Seriously my most hated movement of them all. And I am basically not progressing on it.
I don't know how to reach 10 bodyweight pullups, regardless of hand position.
Trying to train with pullup machine now, still barely 5 bodyweight pullups, barely. I don't understand this.
Hey man I struggle with them a lot too. Get a stool or bench or chair and use it to get into the top position at a pull up/chin up bar. Lower yourself (eccentric) and step up and keep doing it as many times as you can. This will make you pretty sore the days after and will develop some strength in your back and arms and will help you to do more full pull ups n chins

>OP status: completely buttblasted
Chin ups work more your chest than lats because your arms are close together, so your chest is squeezed and doing most of the movement
holy shit
>reverse chin ups
Unfathomably based
Did negative neutral grip chins yesterday, my lats and brachioradialis are sore as hell today
I'll do the tomorrow
ok, i'll do the today

How is it better than a normal Chin Up?
It works more muscles, namely the brachialis and radiobrachialis. Neutral grip chins are the strongest for most people
I see. So that's why they were always easier than regular ChinUps and Pullups.
i think its because in neutral grip you are getting good help from both brachialis,brachioradialis and biceps
chin ups= cya brachioradialis
pronated pull ups = cya biceps
it isn't, it just may be comfier for you
>t. did these weighted as a main lift, still marginally stronger in chins

the only thing that changes from pronated, supinated to neutral grip is the contribution from certain muscles, lats are still the primary mover
Why would I do neutral grip? Supinated grip is more comfortable for me.
>supinated grip is more comfortable for me
You've gotta have monstrous biceps then
I feel like pullups work the posterior delts and teres muscles more.
My anterior shoulder head is starting to sting when I do palms forward pull ups, maybe because I don’t eat enough ramen noodles, what can it be?
