between the two, chinups were always a little easier to me.

bump for those about to get off work & heading to the gym.

[curryshotta]

it feels like pullups are more strenuous on my shoulders

 

[SLY]

Prefer thumbless weighted pull-ups. Got my back looking wide as fuck

Same here, pulls are murder on my shoulders.......

Soooo many people calls the pull-up a chin-up

 

[smiffnwessun]

I think chinups give you a wider thicker back versus a more chiseled back with pullups

Fucked around and got a Slap Tear (Although didn't know it at time.) in May fucking with pull up Bartendaz routines I was trying to debo through. Then kept working out thinking it would go away....fucking it up more.

At 47....I'm an idiot.

Pullups >>> if you wanting back work.

Switch to Chins for more biceps work....

If you having shoulder problems with pullups, move your grip in so hands are close to each other.

Can anybody recommend a good pull up bar for home use? It's getting cold outside.

Looking for a sturdy, well designed/built pull up bar that hangs over the door. Was looking at the Iron Gym extreme on Amazon. Any BGOL reviews?

I wanna get my back right. I never did no kinda exercises when for my back. Lookin' back, I was doin' a whole lot of shit wrong.

not a fan of the over the door types, but find one cheap or used and give it a try.

the setup i use everyday when i wake up is this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002JBBRV4/?tag=vp314-20

you can probably find it cheaper at your local sporting goods store (got mine for $75 at academy a couple years ago).

it's super light, yet sturdy enough to hold my weight (195 lbs) - max is probably around 280lbs before it starts to feel unstable.

grab a used copy of this book.

I have a door gym and it has last me a good while. Might have to tape the handles after they start pealing off. Also make sure you have enough space in the doorway. Amazon is a good spot to purchase it.
