chinups or pullups

I recommend medium grip chins and close reverse grip pulldown (better concentration on lats than close grip pullups)

Sometimes on arms day i start with close grip weighted pullup for 7-5 reps to really blast biceps.

I never even thought of doing underhand wide grip chins, guess you just get cought up in tradition.

Ill give em a try.
 
This will be hard for some to believe, but I just finished a workout for 4 weeks where all I did for back was pull ups. I did 4 sets each of wide grip, close grip palms in, close grip palm facing each other, and regular grip palms away. I did 1 set with no weight, then the following three with the dip belt and 25lbs-45lbs hanging. It was one of the best back workouts I ever did. The only time I was on machines was for warmup. It puts a lot of stress on your shoulders.
 
i think pullups isolate more the back muscles but at the expense of weight that could be used. So chin-ups would be better of a compound, but why dont use both, first pulls and then chins.
 
This was funny, I hadn't tried these in a while, but while I was warming up,iwentover to the parallel handles and thought I'd do a few. I ended up knocking about 8-10-easily, not near failure-Icould have doen about 5 more if it was a serious set.. It doesn't sound like much but I weigh about 255 lbs. All I have been doing for that type of movment is pulldowns with heavy weights. So much for strength not transferring.
