  • CONQUER CALISTHENICS 💪 fitnessfaqs.com/programs
    The Pull-Ups Vs Chin-Ups debate is common in calisthenics. Both exercises work similar muscle groups including the back and biceps. The main difference being pull-ups are performed in pronated grip and chin-ups with a supinated grip. The similarities cause confusion and people often want answers concerning which is better.
    Today's FitnessFAQs video will discuss technique, progressions and the best exercise for you. We will also chat about bar vs rings, covering the pros and cons of each equipment option.

      Lmao. Dude i had to deal with that for months, but i did not take any time away from the gym to let mostly my right elbow heal. Still kept doing pullups and lifting. Finally got sick due to going on a drinking binge for almost a week, which i never wanna do again, and then when i was gonna go back to the gym we just had the worst winter storm here un texas and they closed the gyms down again. So after about a little more than 2 weeks off i did some yesterday and my elbows felt fresh. Did 100 in 13 minutes.

      Do forearm flexors and extensors warm up. Massage gun and lifting straps can help.
      I did a lot of weighted pull up and chins at 8-12 rep ranges per set. My max body weight pull up was 35 rep. Weighted was 8 rep at 65lb. That was 2 years ago before I injured my elbows fooling around with weight lifting bars. Now I only do body weight neutral grip parallel bar rows for my back and deadlifts to maintain my grip strength.
      There is nothing wrong with an occasional binge. Beer and fried chicken are the best. I always plan my binges and fast for 2 or 3 days before my equally long binge. I rather suffer the consequences prior as oppose to after my indulgence. Same result, but without the guilt.

  • @adrianahaverhoek

    Chin ups are underrated. I hear men in the gym saying they are going to train their back and biceps and they skip the chin ups. Chin ups are easier than pull ups, but that doesn't mean they are of less value. Also full rom chin ups from dead hang without kipping and using momentum aren't even easy. A lot of men can't do them or only a few with good form. I like chin ups a little bit more than pull ups, but I train both during a pull work out. Both are great pull exercises.

You can't focus on the inner chest only on the lower and upper part of the pecs. You can't isolate muscles in compound exercises etc.

    Do all styles. My personal favourite is the medium neutral grip because it feels more natural. The chinup I love for heavy training in the 4-6 rep range or for back off sets in general while pullups are more suited to high volume from my experience. I feel I can bang the most amount of reps with that style without fatiguing my biceps that much. So they all have their place.

    I do 4 sets of 10-12 pull-ups, 4 sets of 10-12 pull-ups with neutral grip, and 4 sets of 10-12 chin-ups. I find this the most effective way of targeting all muscles, and progress from pronated, to neutral, to supinated feels the most natural. It also makes it challenging, because (for me at least) I start with the hardest and finish with the "easiest" pull. Now I am starting to add weight and lower the number of reps, but I definitely recommend this progression to everyone who wants to improve their pulling strength and abilities.

Of course, don't do something like 5-10 mins, cause then it would not make sense :) Between sets I would say something in the range of 1.5 - 2.5 minutes. However, between the different exercises I would definitely recommend a bit more rest - 3 to 5 minutes is absolutely fine (especially if you are doing weighted pulls). Hope that helps. Cheers!

    I usually repeat my callisthenic circuit two times, and each circuit involves two sets of bar pulling. I use pronated grip for the first one and neutral grip on the second round of my first circuit. In my second circuit, I often go with with neutral for the first round and finish with neutral or chin-up on the second round. I'm at about 8 reps, but I need to work on improving my form, i.e. full extension at the bottom. Order of difficulty for me - hardest to easiest is pronated > neutral > chin-up.

    I was studying your back's flexing during the different exercises and I have to say that the chins definitely seem to be activating the lats more despite the extra bicep help. Contrary to popular belief.
    I believe supination draws the pull more inwards, allowing the full chain to activate more.
    But I think to activate the lats better you would have to tilt your lower body forwards and pull towards your sternum and add some torso rotation.

    Commenting before watching.. I used to prefer Pull-ups I thought I was too good for chin ups. Pull ups were my favorite exercise, my wieghted one rep max was somewhere around half my body weight. I was really good at them so I always looked forward to them, and that was a problem. It really caused an imbalance and I would have terrible knots and spasms two years ago. Since starting your body by rings program I've been working on 90% chin ups and 10% pull-ups and having negligible levels of discomfort.

    I personally alternate between chinups and neutral grip chinups (2 days of each every week). I am recovering from an injury and laziness and after a year, I have a hard time with increasing my reps and can barely do a few pulls of either type each set. I find pullups to be much more difficult. And I also like the fact that I get to work my biceps with chinups. My plan is to gain ample pulling strength with chinups only in around 2 or 3 months, and then start doing pullups too when I can do more than the current 2-3 unassisted reps each set.

      Deadlifting, sumo or conventional, is predominantly a hip hinge exercise. Therefore it is mostly a lower body exercise. Unless you are pulling broke back with poor form then sure, it's a back exercise. That's the mentality that has people deadlifting with dangerous form though, thinking that it's a back exercise when it's really mostly a leg exercise.

      It's all about your mind muscle connection. The tension is going into the wrong place man. Best way to fix it is to do either band assisted pulls until you can fully activate your lats and/or single rep pull ups. Literally do 1 at a time then have a 5 sec rest. Really focus on sending that signal and tension to the lats. It's not easy, but once you've done it, it stays done and away you go. Just over 2 years ago I couldn't do a single rep. A few days ago I set a new PB of 19 clean full ROM reps. It's all about practice and patience. Hope this helps! 👊🏾
