I use both. Two of the best body weight exercises out there.

[@kimseak385]

How many reps and sets? And do you only do those 2 on pull days?

[@guitargeeknwa]

@@kimseak385 I always do full body workouts, 3-4x per week. I typically do 3-5 sets of pull ups and chin ups each workout. One program I like to do includes 3 tri-sets of push, pull, squat; the pull exercises are pull ups, chin ups, and neutral grip pull ups. Reps are anywhere from 8-12 per set, depending on how I'm feeling. Almost always go to failure on all variants. Best regards

This was the most well rounded explanation of chin ups and pull ups I've seen for a while

Where my neutral grip homies at

L sit neutral grip is the best

[@gabnrami]

Underrated grip

[@PahviVaneri]

Neutral grip is by far my favorite. With that grip the amount of pull ups or chin ups I'm able to do increased. When I'll do my pull training I usually use all of these three different grips. After first set I'll switch my grip and so on.

[@MrPlant597]

Same. Neutral feels the most natural to me.

[@YRO.]

Same

[@RhesusA]

When I was serving in the Police force, the drill and field instructors place emphasis on pull ups as the obstacle courses required us to scale 2.5 metre walls solo.

[@zorojuro7562]

I do both

[@abadusernamechoice8485]

I like weighted pull ups because I've heard traditional pull ups utilize the back more. I mainly only do three lifts though so I have my lifts focus on the biggest muscles. I do other lifts but mainly as physical therapy

[@weepingangel6805]

I had a friend who tried sayi mg that he uses pull down machines because it’s a bigger weight than his body so I embarrassed him in front of our group by saying if it’s heavier how come you can’t do one pull up

[@Kiroh]

Great collab, Ring enjoyer here!

[@staarfinger7322]

I do both. Pullups on back day and chinups on arm day

[@TheSp3cial0ne]

I miss going to a gym with rings. The stretch is so good.

[@certifiedteen2733]

Great info guys, God bless 💪

[@markuszwerger3821]

Thanks! I couldn't understand why it was way more difficult doing pull ups from some Point on (getting chin over bar), now I know due to Anatomy!

[@namedsome]

Doing chin up getting stronger goal is to have more bicep strength

[@rianime9371]

I find I can do least of Wide Grip Pull ups. So I try to start off with them, to make sure I am least fatigued while doing them.

[@Bjorn_R]

Is the part about wide grip giving a wide back a myth by now? I have seen a lot of breakdown of biomechanics and emg, showing the wide grip to be a poor choice regardless of goal?

[@whocaresaboutname4185]

I prefer neutral grip )

[@Ichimichi468]

I had a 270 degree labral tear many years ago and ever since pull ups aggravate my shoulder. Chin ups don’t seem to bother me at all.

[@vqmgaming213]

Do you have any suggestions for a muscle up (great content btw)

[@dannyelo4]

Use as many resistance bands as you need so you can perform at least 3 reps, and decrease resistance as you get stronger. You can put 2 or 3 bands at the same time.

[@kendog6176]

Used to only do pull ups. Now I do equal amounts of both. Love them both. So many people out there don’t know which name is for which though. It’s the there/their of exercise lol.

[@sews1523]

Awesome video

[@Thomas-dp8eb]

Is there a way to build up mobility to make chin ups feel better?

[@Panful]

I prefer pull-ups just because they feel more natural

[@dariorox1]

always do them both. But as of today I love more pullups, while as I beginner I used to like more the chinups

[@alleocedricka.coronel5145]

I choose both...but im stronger at pull-ups

[@Jamezee312]

I like rings or bar chins.

[@Ruudwardt]

Fortunately they are all subscription free - I use 3. Chinup, pullup and neutral grip. Neutral grip lately the most with weighted pullups.

[@diablominero]

I use what I can find instead of a purpose-built bar, and chin ups are often more comfortable on improvised bars.

[@hayyes_]

Wide grip dosent build width because you have a much greater stretch and range of motion if your arms are directly overhead

[@user-js7ol7ft7q]

I couldn’t decide which was better and decided not to do it at all

[@plyo_leo]

I love both. 💯❤️

[@LuisGonzalez-gb4uh]

I used both, but my preferred variant is neutral, when the bar allows it (or something close to neutral).

[@jimmym8348]

Never thought of doing chin up movements with rings.... I like the idea 👍

[@alfredpatrick1722]

My favourite used to be ring muscle ups but my new gym doesn’t have stuff for it

[@crogotem3341]

i love chin ups, a bit easier than pull ups, but they have a great effect, easy way to quickly start getting compliments on your back and arms

[@jackscuffham8884]

I prefer pull ups because they carry over to climbing and muscle ups well and they also hit ur upper lats better which is great for a wide v taper

[@phoenix-wc5vx]

bigger guns! 😮

[@wefeelitweliveitnaugthy]

Well, currently, I do chin ups because I'm seeking more biceps 💪 muscle mass.

[@nomad155]

Please look into the research regarding neutral grip pullups being more than enough with the back?

[@YRO.]

Neutral grip is underrated

[@user-qk2gn1mc1s]

Wide pull up set then chin ups when I'm tired

[@gamesbaluyot9623]

I like this workout

[@BluegillGreg]

I like neutral grip

[@metalassassin8841]

Both, but usually I do pullup then squeeze everything I've got left with chinups

[@Mario-G-Man]

Chin ups here. Pull ups and dips hurt my shoulders.

[@dingdong952]

That's because you're not strong enough yet to carry your own bodyweight, resulting in bad posture, resulting in bones hitting each other. Have you tried doing assisted pull-ups/dips? Or are you just suffering from an old injury you're conveniently leaving out of your comment?

[@jsmall10671]

I noticed the last time I was really getting into pullups that chinups started hurting one elbow. This time I'm trying rings

[@THE_SKULL_S-vm9zu]

I chose both and pushups also..

[@mwkibomiazawa1003]

Chin ups are painful for my wrist, so I prefer pull ups.

[@KG-jh4on]

You may find neutral grip work the most comfortable if you have wrist issues. Neutral puts your wrist into a very strong position. Something to consider

[@drewgaming4722]

I do both plus commando pull ups.

[@slwoon5284]

I always struggled/gassed out after the first set of pull up. I thought I'm not progressing. Turns out I do because of my increasing bodyweight

[@MrNate-iz5sl]

Do chin ups work the back like pull-ups do?

[@alo_tsl8252]

Doesn't that extra stretch on the lats make the chin ups better for muscle growth?

[@RyderDK]

Weird, I can do like double the pull-ups that I can with chin-ups, but the latter does bother my wrist.

[@teebarbarino]

I try to do both, but I can do more chin ups so I like them better 😅

[@Willi.am05]

I can't even do 1 these days. I used to have a strong back but not anymore 😢.

[@billboss5751]

My personal favourite is the chin-up but I do both in my routine. Pull-ups are weaker for me.

[@calle6075]

Are these a couple?

[@abrokanfxr3388]

The wide grip doesn't targets your lats, imagine your lats as a rubber band stretched between two points, when is that rubber band stretched the greatest, when the two points are furthest apart i.e a close grip, when you switch to a wide grip, the stretch gets reduced to a 90° which was 180° in the close grip, you wanna stretch your lats try to do close grip chins not wide grip this false information is spread by uneducated people back in the day claiming themselves experts and because of that this is written in books and taught in universities of excercise science/so called science of bodybuilding.

[@skyrimtroll69]

[@dingickso4098]

So what does the wide grip do, which muscles are working?

[@sews1523]

[@skyrimtroll69]

curl and you will see gains, don't listen to the kids saying that the chinup is the best arm builder

[@KG-jh4on]

If you are seeing significant back development and lagging bicep growth, try some bicep accessory movements. I love ring bicep curls but there's nothing wrong with doing weights + calisthenics. If you are having overall lagging progression, it could be diet/training volume/intensity.

[@MattMurdock41]

Pull ups - mainly upper back muscles Chin ups - mainly lat muscles

[@Chiburi]

I enjoy them all, I recently switched from pullups to chinups in my routine. I do single and double kettlebells, fast and slow, I do dips and pullups and added a heavy deadball too to my gym. Every other workout is deadball-centric or kettlebell-centric. I choose chinups now because I work the back a lot with the deadball, and I can use the extra stimulus on the biceps. I do single overhead press and weighted dips for triceps, shoulders etc, and I don’t really have the time and energy for doing biceps curls, so chinups check that box for me.
