At 6', 200lbs

On back day I will usually do wide-grip chins palms facing forward.
3 sets: 8/6/6

Last time I checked, which was about 18 months ago, I did 8 reps with 90lb on the belt.

ha..ha..pull-ups ! I suck at them..maybe one set of 12 then, 8 and 5 reps respectively right now I'm hovering at 240 @ 6'0

Unless I'm mistaken, chins are done with the palms facing you. Pullups are palms facing away.

Semantics

Regardless of what you call them, they are a good exercise. This morning I did them after a good chest and bicep workout. I could only squeeze out 6/5/6 of the wide-grip variety, but it felt great.
