20 Reps of Underhand Pull-Ups/Chin-Ups

PROTEIN, DENSE BONES AND EVEN DENSER DIETICIANS: http://www.heretical-health.info/proteindensebonesdieticians.html . This was done after some fairly brief but taxing 1-armed partial negatives (and even a very partial concentric 1-armed pull-up/chin-up with the stronger right arm). I felt full of power at the start - hence the bar touching half way down the chest - but gradually slowed down and was only taking the chin above the bar towards the end. When doing 2-armed pull-ups/chin-ups in the immediate future, my plan is to only do as many reps as I can do touching my chest to the bar.

@stuqua You did a great set - 20 with good form and ease, as you showed, is good. As for the diff. between chins and pulls, yeah, theres a difference, with chins (underhand) hitting the biceps more and pull ups (overhand) banging the lats harder. Anyway, as you know you tube is packed with Eiensteins who want to critique everything, including the color of your shoe laces.

@stuqua Oh and if this is you in these videos then fair play on the 40kg chin ups.... Thats good strength mate.

[pennthebaker]

@stuqua Who said anything about rigorous scientific experiments? I said do some research...... Just to keep it simple for you mate coz i can already see you're a bit of a "know it all" , in this instance research can be as simple as looking at a workout magazine. Anyone who knows anything about calisthenics or even just pull ups will tell you - chin up underhand, pull up overhand.

@pennthebaker Research? I wasn't aware that anyone had conducted rigorous scientific experiments to determine whether "pull-up" or "chin-up" is the semantically correct term to employ in description of a movement that involves PULLing one's self UP until one's CHIN is UP above the bar with an underhand or overhand grip. I was under the impression that someone had dogmatically asserted that "pull-up" should be used for movements with an overhand grip and "chin-up" for those with an underhand one.

[pennthebaker]

@stuqua Do some research retard....... Pull up = Overhand grip..... Chin up = Underhand grip. Your descriptions of pull ups and chin ups are exactly the same anyway, both involve pulling your chin over the bar..... Which begs the question, what are you talking about?

@riffdude1

No. You've got it all wrong. A PULL-UP is when you PULL yourself UP until your CHIN is UP above the bar. A CHIN-UP, on the other hand, is when your CHIN comes UP above the bar as a result of you PULLing yourself UP. Pull-ups or chin-ups (whatever you prefer to call them) can be done with an underhand or an overhand or a mixed or (apparatus permitting) a neutral grip.

I have no set-in-stone approach.
