Whats the best grip for pull ups to get the most bang for your buck?

whats the best grip for pull ups to get the most bang for your buck?

my vote would be for neutral grip done at slightly wider than shoulder width

pull ups suck dick

do rows

Neutral grip pull up is my fav. but I usually just vary grips anyways for it then just hit lat pull down to failure too.

all of them work different secondary muscle groups so doing a mix of the 3 would be ideal

Chin-up. Puts the elbow in the strongest position to enable you to move the most added weight for largest muscle gains.

There's no better one
It all depends on your goals

good onions

chin up

non-negotiable

anyone who says otherwise hasn't done chinups

What are the outcomes by difference?

There are differences in muscle activation, but not enough to warrant getting all worried about it. Overhand pullups may have a slightly better carry over to practical things like bouldering or climbing, where that's the hand position people use. If that's not a concern than just pick a grip that's comfortable for you throughout full ROM.

Don't listen to this. Horizontal vs Vertical pulling motions are different enough that you should be doing BOTH in a well rounded routine.

I can't rotate my wrists properly to do a chin up, so I just vary between pull-ups and neutrals.

Have you guys taken the pullup redpill?
>tfw 99% of pullups in the gym are cheat reps

>lifting the most weight possible = most muscle gained
Doesn't really work that way, especially when you're just giving yourself better leverage

Anything else is a debate of "autism" as most of you would have it explained. Just keep working out.

Why gays calling me a basedboy?

What about doing chins/pull ups on weird park bars?
Is gif related a chin a pull up? Does the grip even matter or is it all grip width?

basically neutral grip, looks a little comfy at that angle and he's doing quarter reps though

if you want the classic muscle beach physique, go for chin-ups

you're engaging your biceps, lats, shoulders, and ab stabilizers like crazy

toss on a weight vest to speed up your progress and gain massive strength

chin-ups are also safer because they put less strain on your rotator cuffs

Is that you?

that's my boyfriend

Chinups, supinated shoulder width by default, but as said, switching width/grip wouldn't hurt.

Doing a strict pullup (most of you probably can't) is 100x better than chins or neutral grip or whatever arm workout you want to pretend is working your lats and upper back

All three train slightly different fibers from the lats so you could do all 3 I guess. it goes outer to inner like: pullups>neutral>chinups

why would you not incorporate all of them in your routine
don't tell me you're not in the gym at least 3 times a week, user
do you even want to make it?

No, thats you.

I recommand to stop swinging your legs and do full motion with your arms. Also start doing L-sit pull/chin ups for abs gains at the same time.

Where can I find a big tiddy bf at?

isnt pullups literally the best thing for your upper body

Dough boy?

What does each one achieve?

>every expert says do pull ups
>some dude on the internet says do rows
Okay.

Chin-ups are for fags, pull-up gang for life

Dorian Yates, the Tom Platz of back, recommends rows for lats.

Pull-ups. Externally rotate elbows as you come down, internally rotate as you come up.
Works best with grips that can rotate. This is the most efficient way of training the lats with a vertical pull.

You're basically saying to do a chin up then dude.

No. You don’t rotate that far. 45ish wrist degree, starting from back of hand facing you at the bottom

i can do pull ups on my door at home but how am i supposed to do chin ups?

You aren’t

chin ups fuck up your elbow like crazy

I find this to ring true but the wider variations of pullups are the worst culprits. My left elbow had golfers elbow and now it creaks like a floorboard when fully extended

it really doesn't matter, they all train the same muscle groups and the difference in muscle gain for different grips is negligible
However, i'd argue that the neutral grip is the safest for your elbows and wrists if you're using a bar. I recommend using oly rings instead of a bar so your arms can twist naturally through the range of motion

How about any grip that allows go to full range of motion. Been in my current gym for over 2 years and haven’t seen a complete one yet.

What the fuck is wrong with his arms

I had the same problem. If you really don't want to stop doing pullups, you'll have to swallow the ego and do negatives, partials and assisted versions until your elbow can get accustomed to the movement.

I do neutral grips because they feel the most comfortable. It's entirely preference, you can still feel your lats pumping as you finish your sets either way

>t. Obesity omega

I do vertical grip weighted chins,they are a much safer mechanism for your shoulders brah. Will be a lot safer when you start adding weight.

Would these tips really help in getting losing fat if you combine it with intermittent fasting?

Kinda feel demotivated to actually going to the gym for an extended period of time due to all kinds of bullshit happening in my life recently. Maybe this is what I need to get motivated again...

idk which is best, but i do know that chinups are easiest, and pullups hardest.

It would be good, but your image is full of bro-science crap; like "dense muscles", "bodyweight exercises make muscle stretch and align"? WTF

Doesn't seem like a very trustworthy source.

Jesus Christ! You people are cringy AF.

This is why i dont trust Jow Forums You guy are so full of shit

What about pullups where you're grabbing hold of a towel that's been draped over the bar?

Dats for your forearms

chin ups activate biceps and lats
pull ups activate mostly lats and a smaller muscle in your arm
neutral grip activates all, but to a lesser extent than either of the two more 'specific' exercises

chin ups feel easier because you also use the biceps, which is a big muscle, and thus its easier to carry your weight.

TL:DR chin ups for activating biceps and lats, pull ups for activating mostly lats. neutral grip for a compromise

>biceps, which is a big muscle

Absolute state of Jow Forums brainlets.

the best pull up is where one arm is below the other. For example
lower arm at the level of the wrist
lower arm at the level of the elbow
lower arm at the level of the shoulder
lower arm not used - one arm pull up

no, best version is 1 arm chin, but good look doing that if you are not absolute manlet.

alright - *strong relative to the supporting muscle used when doing pull ups

other than that, i'm not wrong

>strong relative to the supporting muscle used when doing pull ups

Good.

>Discussing variations of an exercise which will give you 90% of the identical gains whatsoever

How about you do all of them and alternate and change out different exercises

stupid question here possibly, but are you meant to do the "hook grip" on neutral grip ones too or an ordinary grip?

ay that's the only thing that lanklets can actualy achieve from bodyweight training. ANd yeah one arm chin up is superior to one arm pull up

you mean thumbless grip?
i've read and seen some bodybuilders promote that as it lets them engage their lats easier.

This is the correct answer.
Do each variant, and whichever one you feel the most back activation with, roll with. As long as you're doing one, and doing it well, then it doesn't really matter that much.

Its more dangerous for tendonitis. Id prefer this order : rope climbs, ring or rope pullup with arm ending in chinup position, and pullups

chin up same grip as bench

Reps: 0

I find neutral to be easy peasy, chin ups to be okay to hard, pull ups to be fucking difficult. What does this say about me?

True Story.

that you have some weird mental block, if you actually did all of them often you'd quickly find them quite similar in difficulty

This or neutral grip. Just go look at any overhead pull world record and you'll see its the chin up or neutral grip that pulls the most weight (at least that is what i think atm based on what i've seen)

Do chin ups for biceps
Do wide grip pullups for lats

>not doing mixed grip
never gonna make it

>giving a fuck about body building
Why. If you can’t even fucking pull-up your own body then how can you be considered Jow Forums in any sense of the word?

>run on your toes
Find me a reputable running source that recommends this.

fatboi alert

>check this sub-bodyweight row

lmao the soys is really getting to you isn't it, boy?

As we say in Russia: YOU PUT SHIRT NOW!

am i the only one that considers excessive lats totally disgusting? like the most uneastetic thing possible

Yes

and that is why chin ups are superior to everything
