I cant do one pull up but i cant do chin ups easily so i will start with chin ups until my back grows a little so i can get to pull ups

Dumb

I Dio Tick Mu Sickkk!!!!

Yep, I grew a huge chest doing chin-ups 😂

so That's why I can only do chin-ups, no pull-ups, no push-ups, maybe my biceps is much stronger than my triceps

Chin ups will give you wings :) trust me the ladies let me know lol

Ok it's gonna be a bit controversial but for lats I am all into chin ups. If we will compare standard grip chins and pulls the back has almost the same activation (I feel better stretch on chins). Differencece lies in arms. You might get more activation for bicep with chin ups but it doesn't take anything from back. During pull ups sonething still has to bent the arm right? Tension goes more into other elbow flexors. There is more than just a bicep that does this function. For best growth of Your back You need full spectrum of grip width, that was purely theoritical, I just wanted to bring up chin ups a bit cause people still believe this exercise is worse cause of bicep activation while this argument doesn't take anything from back unless Your form is reaaaaly biasing bicep to the point it becomes a point of failure. It happens to me but I am doing that intentionally. You will have to choose Your variations and ecercises according to Your demands and current standpoint.

Starting off with chin-ups is a good start for me I can’t do pull-ups so chin-ups are a good movement to start on working your biceps but your still working your whole back

Just doing do cause this Two both exercise have they own benefits

I can't do pull ups with my chest I can barely get my chin and head above the bar.

When i practice chinups at public gyms, l always have a guy telling me to switch from pronated to suponated grip

yeah but is chin ups better than pull ups at making the back wider ?

I do both

Nobody talks about WIDE grip chinups!!! They are the best for me I find. Wide grip chins works lats way harder than close and I suspect more than wide pullups because of the biceps support you talk about, why would you want the arm limiting the lat work? Also, I feel better rom and stretch on a wide grip chinup.

I train both variations but pull up are favorite

Personally, I get a better activation on my lats when I perform Chin-ups. The only difference is you have to do chest-to-bar.

Chin ups are easy than pull up❤

Train both. Alternate between days of chin ups and pull ups. Also mix some days with weights for low rep and some days with resistance band for high reps.

Hell yeah, training to join the fire service again.... pullups, pressups and farmer carries for LIFE!

Cringy as fuck

Unless you have hit your genetic maximum, it doesn't matter, just train hard 😂.

Both mate . Diff angles , parts etc

did chin ups three times a week for a year and my biceps were and still are awesome, but the lats never grew, pull ups and they both grow.

**chin up is easier** fixed

What about Neutral Pullup?

Why not both?1 Har-Har-Har-Har! - Boris the Animal 😆

I used to mainly pull ups. But now due to injury in my elbow I replaced them with Chin ups and my lats remain as strong. The angle of the chin ups remains when you are tired. While the body angle while doing the pull ups is usually decreased when you’re getting tired.

i do both...

The biggest issue with chin ups is if you use a doorway pull up bar, there isn’t usually a good grip to use. The way the bars are constructed, there are usually bars in the way of a good grip. You need a gym, solid bar, rings or some other way to do them. I love chin ups, but it’s hard to find equipment to do them.

I'm female, almost 69 and fit! listen to your body...i began my pullup journey doing narrow grip, palms facing. It was easy on my shoulder. As I got stronger, I started changing the width and the angle... I'm now doing Lhangs with pullups, over and underhand grip! I hang or pull myself on anything I find and just do a few. I even go to a couple of playgrounds where I am the grandma doing the monkey bars! Just do it!

The latest studies show there is literally no difference between pronated or supinated or wide or narrow grips in pull ups. They all target the lats the same and they all hit the biceps the same. The only difference is how it feels. The results will be the same no matter which one you choose. What I'm saying is pullups and chin-ups are identical in results. Unsurprising when you do pullups correctly you would realize it hits the lats far more than the chest or biceps when you do the full extension range of motion. You can check this, its been confirmed.

Pull ups not being "as heavy or tiring" is completely false. Your biceps are at a mechanical disadvantage with an overhand grip. Pullups are absolutely harder to do than chin ups. Your video is bad info.

No offense but this video made me think I prefer pllups. Of course they also just happen to be what I was always good at anyways but maybe I could do both and replace the barbell curl with chin ups? I just know for sure I love what pullups did for my back in the Army.

I think, the best combination is weighted muscle-ups (lower reps, mostly strengh-focused) + weighted chin-ups (higher reps, mostly hypertrophy-focused). This is what I consistently do.

0:28 Why isn't his head hitting the bars? a moment later: ohhh

wrong chinups arent better Blyat! Easier is not better Blyat! Harder is better which brings in more results Period! So the pullup wins this one.

When I do Chinups, I place my hands like you with a Hammer Curl, palms pointing towards each other. Are those good too? I figured it would just be like a chin up with more emphasis on the brachialis

pull up is more useful just in case an angry pitbull is chasing you 😂

Chinup harder on the elbows. I know.

DO BOTH

do both.

What about neutral grip pull up?

If you want to target mostly your lats, do pull-ups. If you want to do more of a biceps "isolation" then do chin-ups.

Neutral >>>>>

can you do a video for close grip pull ups and regular pull ups?

Very very interesting

That's now how we train for muscle growth?

Do you chin up 99%. I did pull up only 1%.

Which of the 2 will help you more with getting Stronger in Arm Wrestling??
