Should you do pull-ups or chin-ups? It depends on personal preference as each have their advantages and disadvantages. Both exercises target the back, shoulder, and arm muscles, but chin-ups tend to place more emphasis on the biceps. If you are looking to build upper body strength and increase muscle mass, doing a variety of both exercises can be beneficial. Consider rings as a nice hybrid between the two techniques.

I'm more confused about elbow placement and how close should your arms be to the body when pulling up ?
There's a difference???......
Your instgyid ??

"Pull-ups or Chin-ups?"
"Ring-ups"
How About Chull Ups¿? LoL
"Foot-downs"
Sit-downs
@@WizDaPenguinmy fav
@@WizDaPenguinlay downs are good too
Funny how my shoulders don't agree with pullups and I have zero problem doing chin ups
I had the same until I did rotator cuff strengthening exercises and a bit of flexibility/mobility work. No more pain while doing pull ups, lat pulldown or bench presses for me. Not saying the same would apply for you but it's worth looking into it
@@VolnixzI’ve noticed focusing on scapular strength helps with everything. Even just adding scapula push-ups in my warmup has made a big difference, also didn’t realize how weak they actually are until I started doing them.
Same
Other way round for me
Im guessing here but you may have tight pecs, in chins you round your back more at the top.
This bro has the cleanest technique and body/core control I've ever seen 💪
Yup
u should see ian barseagle
It is not hard at all if you regularly pay attention to your technique. I can do 5 pull ups total (at 72kg bw) and 4 of them out of 5 look just as good as in the video.
The blue shorts saitama too
Like bro, that’s exactly what I was gonna bro, bro.
Bro!
i actually feel less stress in my joints doing chinups
Sometimes feeling it doesn't equal actually having it. Lots of people don't feel the stress of running but time shows that it is very stressful with bad form.
same
i got elbow pain after doing chinups
Some guys were debating this in the gym one day, and the sage old man walks in, so they ask him... He stares at the bar for a minute and then says you can't do an underhand grip on the edge of a cliff.....
Nigga where you live in a western movie??
I don’t wrap my thumbs around the bar because I believe in the same principle. Pull-ups are king IMO. Underhand is great for targeting biceps though…
@@derogren😂😂😂😂😂
@@Matty_-_Moyou’re actually on to something Real life climbing not even thumbs can be wrapped.
@@Matty_-_Mosame here I feel like chin ups are working my biceps way more than my back and pull ups straight definitely put muscle and cut on my back
Neutral Grip feels the most natural.
100%
ring pull up is rly good tho
@@clem-vm1cyNot for beginners. I bought rings last month and while I progressed super fast, I can do half the reps on rings that I can do on a bar
yes but it requires 2 straight bars which are not easily available we can use handles tough
@@tushar-tipartiwar there are bars which have two small parallel handles for neutral grip and also a normal pull up bar (both integrated I mean). I have one costing 1.1k-1.2k INR u can install it on the wall.
I find it unbelievable that chin ups are supposed to be harder and more stressing?! I can probably do a few chin ups but from a dead hang, even if my life depended on it, I can't even do half a pull up, it's like there are entire muscle groups AND the necessary brain-body-connection just completely missing for me.
It's because you don't have as much bicep support on regular pull ups as in the chin ups, your bicep pulling is might be more stronger than your lat/back pulling muscles
I think the reason is because when you do pull-ups youre forarms are able to do less unless you can hold false grip. In the chin-up your bicep is in a more biomechanically sound position, and the pecs get used more. So basically in chin-ups you get all the strenght of your back muscles, as well as many more muscles on top to work in conjunction together.
chin-ups are alwasy going to be easier
53yr old female hanging a minute and a half, and 15-40 Anykind of ups daily. Hollow body ring holds and dips when either entering or exiting the bathroom. No stretching needed 👊😎
I found calisthenics rings and doing upright rows unlocked the mind body connection for my pullups big time. I hope it helps you too!! 💪🤩💖
Then your back is weak pull-ups r way harder than chinups
Just do both. I do chin-ups for my biceps and pull-ups for my back.
I never noticed😂 him talking from that circle but at the end
Same... 🤣 it felt like a sudden Ghost appearance
lol I just noticed that floating head from reading your comment.
Damn I thought it was a CZcams channel pic 😂
My pulling day consist of 2 sets of pull ups, 2 of chin ups, 2 of neutral grip and front lever progression… in between every set.
Double your sets
@@friggingriffin3501 if he's getting close to failure it's probably fine
@@David-qj1mr no double your sets
@@David-qj1mr you should not be reaching failure only twice per exercise that's not optimal
@@David-qj1mr that's like 20-25 minutes of workout an hour + a day is good
Just doing both
I love ring pull ups once I tried them I was like “wait, I went two years without these? This is like a whole new world.” Ring pull ups are amazing
“Gymnastic rings are absolutely superior to everything else when developing the upper body.” ~ Ido Portal
this guys form while working out is so good its satisfying
There was so much info in this short... You earned my subscription.
This makes perfect sense. I had to take a break from lifting all around due to strain on my tendons and I’ve been doing chin ups a lot
I have one of those doorway pull-up bars that also allows neutral grip. I like alternating between pull-up, chin up, and neutral grip. Definitely feel it in the different arm muscles each demand more from.
Pull-ups are associated with shoulder injuries such as subacromial Impingement, tendinopathies and rotator cuff tears. The chances of shoulder impingement increase with a wide grip due to relatively less shoulder blade protraction/retraction
Pull-ups are nice and all, but never forget about the pull-outs
That no momentum Muscle up is insane ❤
Conclusion- do both
I love that you always inform on all subjects. Personally, I like to treat my body with the best so i always go with what’s most challenging for me, but i don’t limit myself so i do every workout especially if it’s “new” UNLESS ITS HARMFUL to my body. As always i appreciate your channel and all your guidance. Live long and stay strong, brody.
Dude simple and clear video thank you !!
Do both
Bring em all: Ring Pull Up, Pull Up, Chin Up, weighted for low rep sets, band-assisted for high rep sets.
No mention of the neutral grip? which is by far my favourite
I need to find a way to mount my pull-up bar higher. I have the standard door mount type and it causes me to have to curl my legs back at end range. This is even more of an issue when doing leg lifts/toe to bar because again at end range my feet hit the floor before my hips can be fully square. I’ve only noticed how weak I am at that point now that I’m working on press to handstand. Anybody have the same issue and can share a fix for that?
I don't have the same issue but I didn't order the pull up bar after thinking the same. Even I'll have to fold my legs which will be uncomfortable
I built a pull-up bar like 2 years ago. If you build it good its worth it no problems with it. Its pretty fun to build too. If you do id build high enough so you can hang rings as well without bending legs which is the only thing I wish I had changed.
You could instead of doing leg lifts/toes bar, do hollow body holds. I have found it is hands down the best core excersise if done correctly. You can even jsut add more load by carrying weights at feet or hands.
@@uncagedpine9589did you make a mount for the wall or is it free standing? And do you recall roughly how much you spent on it?
@@plnkfloydian7814 Its freestanding in my backyard. I dont remember price exactly but it was probobly a 200-300 bucks. This probobly isnt exact but off memory: I used 4 deck boards, 4 4x4s that were like 10 or 11 feet I think. I used one of the 1/2 in black steel pipe. It is used for gas, it has a high PSI it dont even bend and the ends are threaded so I jsut put two floor flanges on it and screwed it right to the 4x4s. Price of lumber went up from then cause of inflation so it will probobly be more then that now sorry about that. I found this video searching youtube its called "Build this Mobile DIY pull up bar! Easy to build outdoor pull up bar" by "BryanBuilt" Its basically that design but mine is a lot bigger. The one in the video is probobly a bit cheaper. The wood warped a little over years but its not a problem really, The bar is jsut slightly bent. All Id have to do is buy 2 new 4x4s and change them.
never thought to do rotational grip on the rings. I will try this!
You're going to love it Jess!
Pull-ups - lats day
Chin-ups - arms day
I feel more my lats while chin ups, way more strecht
That's strange
@@teppopierune5520 not necessary, on chin-ups the elbows tuck in closer to the body which can result in better overall lat activation
@@teppopierune5520 that just means his lats are weaker than his biceps
@@Testosteroneisnaturaltrump2024 I heavily doubt that. Lats are a much bigger muscle.
Chin ups are superior for lat range of motion as well as activation, thats what he means by 18%
I love taking notes like I am ever going to be able to do this
Great breakdown
Chin up! I feel it develops the back and the arms simultaneously, better overall, than the pull up
It isn't
Chin-ups are better for the biceps and pull-ups are better for the back
@@arthurfleck629 wrong
@@opywop18 How so? While pulling up one needs to use Scapular muscles more than Biceps while doing chin ups front delts and biceps helps a bit with the movement.
So much knowledge. Golden
All this info, but you didnt mention that they target the muscles differently? My advice, do both!
Chin ups seem to have more benefit esthetically
Yeah for biceps
@@sotirzvanidjubre4109 Biceps and back are better worked with chin ups
@@sotirzvanidjubre4109both work back
@@sotirzvanidjubre4109yeah chin ups works the bicep and upper lats better but pull ups work brachialis muscle which gives your biceps thicker look and works forarms which fills the gap at the bottom of your biceps because well developed forearms makes your overall arms looks bigger and works lower lats better from my experience so better to do them both. Each variation has it's benefits
@@jamaljamal5936pull ups do not work brachialis, they work the brachioradialis which is a forearm muscle. neutral pull ups are way better for brachialis activation
I call both a pull up. But I'm glad to know the difference now.
So good, I had to watch it again
I pretty sure you can do both, chin ups target the biceps more because of the grip established as opposed to the pull up which focuses on back lateral muscles as a result of the pulling in the gripped position
Neutral grip is the best to me, I feel also confortable
I didn’t even notice bro was at the bottom until the end
xD
Tip: if you don't have rings try training with towels as a make shift knoose to act as a rope connected to the bar and had similar movement as the ring but you need stronger grip
All of your content is inspiring af 'thank you
Just going to throw it out there that EMG results represent electrical activity within the muscle not force production. Though in this context your point still stands! Great points about ROM!
Am I the only one who can do chin up more than pull up
Thanks ❤️👍 Boss. This is a very usual advice. I'll buy couple of rings with straps, like yours. 👊
For anyone reading this, I don't recommend anyone overdo chin ups (supinated grip). I did massive amounts of chin ups and I ended up with golfer's elbow, which is debilitating pain. I really regret overdoing it with supinated grip - this elbow pain is awful.
What do you mean massive amounts of chin ups? Over time or in a single day?
@@vitormascarenhas4884 Over time. I'd hit the bar every single day doing chin-ups and now have golfer's elbow in my left arm. At first I thought no worries I'll just work through the pain but after a while the nerve pain just became debilitating.
You shouldnt do any single exercise every day. The body needs time to rest, repair and recover. Also you need to ensure good nutrition, so your tendons, ligaments and joints actually can get stronger. And when you have pain in a joint/tendon, you need to stop. You cant work through those injuris and risk worse inflamation or even tearing.
That little circle with his talking face looks funny. I didn't notice it at first
Thanks for the content
I do variations based on muscle group
Normal, wide, neutral, chin etc
Maybe try neutral grip?? Suggestion
Hi !
I wanted to know how can we get stronger on the lower (starting part) of the chin up for weighted calesthenics ?
Thankyou so much 😎🔥
Thank you Brother for that info this is gonna help me a lot ❤
Great exercise
Your form is amazing
Wow! Thank you.
neutral grip pull ups are my favorite. They feel great at the bottom and top of the motion
The easiest way to put this is pronation - more back, supination - more biceps
And leave it at that
With gymnastic rings they adapt to your movement giving you more flexibility and stability
Chin-ups are an issue for me. I do pull-ups and ring style pull-ups (actually use a web mount hand grip)
Always quality content
The joint pain thing in chin ups is real I did a lot of chin ups once and it hurt to bend my arms
🏋️♂️ good video brother
actually really good to know
Just do both.
But why not putmore stresses on our joints??? If we do it slowly wont we strenghten them that way ??
Fair point. "The difference between medicine and poison is in the dose" Finding the sweet spot is difficult with supinated chins as people get stronger. Managing volume/intensity becomes a complex puzzle whereby tendon/joint overload often wins. Training with rings tends to mitigate this.
I love them both, always do a couple on the bar everytime I walk underneath it in my apartment
Bro is the jarrod tech of fitness
Finest body you have . In recent time I will try to build up something like that. Can you please let me know what should I do & how long it will take me .
Currently going through a weighted chin up phase followed by normal pull ups.
Another two weeks il mix it up again, probably reverse it!
Different lifts that emphasize different muscles. Chin ups force hollow body while pull ups typically are done with arch body.
Now, here's something. Has anyone done a muscle up in an underhand chin up form?
Neutral grip for the win!
Thanks for the information, I found this helpful
ai is satanic the logo of apple is the first sin believe in GOD and go forward…
Neutral grip best imo
Yes a straight bar is very hard on the hands/wrists/shoulders .
There was one point in my life where I could not do a pull-up to save my life but I was repping chin-ups like it was nothing, I have no idea why I was like that, probably I had a weak back but now I can do them both equally.
I got to get on the rings👍
just like throwing a punch, nice !
You should do a video of people who have a broken collarbone or the two ligaments the old your collarbone down I've been trying to do pull ups but I can't
I try to engage the core more while doing pull-ups, however I am most likely doing something wrong since I can't really breathe while doing it.
Those pull-ups and chin-ups were clean as fuck
Close grip rotational Ring ups, got it.
Chin ups feel way more natural for me idk. I feel strange when doing pull ups but perfectly fine when doing chin ups
Chin ups just feel way better on my shoulders, it's neutral grip pull ups or chin ups for me
Never knew that tucking ur arms did that thanks for the tip
I was getting tennis elbow from doing pull ups, not having that problem with chin ups.
Bless you
I find both easier but for some reason i cant do dips if my life depended on it, it hurts my shoulders
True , the other day i was doing chin ups and felt a little discomfort in my shoulder front area
I do a little of both it's depending of what I feel like doing like 90% of my work out routine
It'd be nice to have bars that are at a 45° for chin ups but you don't see those often
Chin ups if you want big biceps and pull ups if you want a wide back 💪
I always do chin ups. I can do 30-40 now. But if I do even a few pull ups, a muscle inside both of arms hurts for days, like it's been pulled.
This short ended ended with a twist.
I do chin ups with a hammer fist. Seems to put less load on my wrists which I have issues with.
They're called Neutral grip Pullups
I like neutral grip too - problem is it's hard to find a bar to use hammer grip.
You get a thumbs for the explanations while showing through ACTIONS.
Neutral grip on top; has better stability
Can you post the study or a link to the study regarding increased emg muscle activation?
