mideon_696

28, male. 87.5kg

15 under hand(chinups), 13 overhand shulder width(chest to bar)
9 wide grip, though i've never really tried any of these when totally fresh.

All from a dead hang, no kipping rubbish.

First, please forgive all of this because I am a smart butt by nature....

Allow me to be funny...Thou hadst added the correct term...thank you, they ARE called chin ups. Are those African or European chin ups? Explosion in 3...2...1

Now on a serious note, let's advise the Commandant that there is an issue with his order below...

MARINE CORPS ORDER 6100.13
From: Commandant of the Marine Corps

section 5.A.8 on "pull ups"

(8) The bar must be grasped with both palms facing either forward or
to the rear.

A theory that was pounded into my head a long time ago are chin ups are useless when was the last time you gripped a wall/bar or anything else underhand to get your heavy but over it. I took this to heart and haven't done chins ever since.

Been a while since doing bodyweight only, but last count was 25 CU/20 PU.

I'm doing em with weight now in pursuit of a true one-handed CU. The theory is that once you get to lifting about 70% of your bw, you should be close. I'm pulling up between 70-80 lbs now (about 54%), so getting kinda close.

Palms facing you is considered a chin up. Palm facing away is a pull up. So was is it considered when you have side grips with the palms facing your ears?

That is the grip I use at my gym. I can do 10 of those unassisted.

Started working on negatives a month ago and then just totally went for the real thing, so am dead chuffed that as of this morning the following are my stats:

When I started this thing a little over year ago, on one of my first outdoor walks, I encountered a "fitness station" along the trail. No one was looking so, I went over and tried for a chin-up (palms facing). I got about half-way up and that was all she wrote. That was 5-10" and 206 lbs and like 32% body fat.

I made a vow at that point to never be defeated by them again, so I started working them into every work out. Eventually, I got one, then a little later two and so on. I have since come to really love chin-ups. Squats for the upper body.

I am now 5-10" and 150 lbs. 8.2% body fat.

Today at the gym my chin up set was 50. The first 40 were good form, but I was sweating the last 10 hahahahah These are slow, full extension. Recently, I have been playing with inverting them. While hanging from the bar, I bring my knees up to my chest, invert, then thread my feet and legs up between me and the bar and do my chin ups with my legs pointing up. I can only do about 10 of them that way, but they really make the lats and sides of the abdomen burn.

I don't have the build/genes to get very bulky, but I have bulked up a little and I seem to be getting strong and flexible at a good rate, so I will take it.

Thanks! It's about the only skill I get to have at the gym, EVERYONE out lifts me, so I was glad to see a thread where I could chime in too

Back to lurking for me.

Palms facing you is considered a chin up. Palm facing away is a pull up. So was is it considered when you have side grips with the palms facing your ears?

That is the grip I use at my gym. I can do 10 of those unassisted.

Anyone know whether I should consider these chin ups or pull ups? Or is there another name for them?

In any case, I couldn't do a single one when I first started.

Scorpioangel

I can do 10 unassisted pull-ups

MaraDiaz

Real pullups or kipping pullups?

That hurts my spine just watching it.

I can do 0 and never could do more than one or 2, no matter how skinny and in shape I was. Best I could ever do with no assist is hang from the bar for a bit.
