and ive been here since 2010but i think its time we had this discussion and debate
pullups - neutral griprows - underhand grippulldowns - overhand gripthis is my current setup
oh and fyi people have this misconception that a pullup = overhand, and a chinup = underhandThis is not truepullup/chinup is just 2 different words people describe pulling your body up vertically, some call it pullup, some call it chinupfor these purposes im going with pullup to describe it the movement itselfbut the grips u use can differentyou can do a neutral grip pullup, or a underhand grip pullup, or a overhand grip pullup, etc.same goes for chinups, you can either do neutral chip chinup, underhand grip chinup or a overhand grip chinupchinup/pullup = means that same shit to 99% of people, only <1% of autists specify the chinup as specifically underhand or pullup as specifically overhandto prove i am right about this------- theres no 3rd word to describe neutral grip, theres none, so how do you describe a neutral grip? you cant, theres no word for itso the logically conclusion is that chinup and pullup and simple interchangeable words for teh same movement (a vertical pull with your body)and the only way to specifically say which type of pullup or chinup you do is to describe the grip you use
>>77266293>rows - underhand gripWait, you're supposed to do these underhand? I've been doing it overhand and it's been giving me wrist pain. Wouldn't doing it underhand just make it like a stealth bicep curl though?
>>77266307This is retarded - everyone on earth refers to chins as underhand, pulls as overhand. You're overcomplicating things for no good reason and you should probably shut the fuck up.
>>77266307No.
>>77266308Overhand rows have always felt awkward as fuck so ive always just naturally done underhand grip.When i do overhand all i feel is my elbows and weirdly tricepsWhen I do underhand i feel my upper back,traps, and biceps

>>77266322This is a really good idea I never thought of. I'll try it out next workout. Thanks!

>>77266308I think it depends on your body and the attachment used, I am wide for my height so I cannot fully contract my scapulas with close underhand grips. Honestly just try them all and stick to the ones that you feel stimulate your back the most
