    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.

    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.

    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.
