>that dumb foot cross

there's no reason for it

>>77320727
Kino. Post more comic workouts

>>77320727
Pull ups work out hard to hit parts of the back more. Chin ups work out biceps more which is trivial since you can always do bicep curls. Also, if you are climbing then you will always be doing it with an overhand grip.

>t. manlet

>>77320736
no reason not to do it either

>>77320776
But u could also js row. Same shit bro

>>77320736
I think it just helps some people to keep their legs steady so they don't start swinging around or kip too much. It's definitely not required though.

>>77320736
It looks cool, especially when you workout shirtless and in a pair of jeans.

>>77320776
what if you have developed biceps from being a curlbro for most of your developing years?

Pull-ups mimick actually climbing

In the Marines, Pull-ups and Chin-Ups were a huge portion of our physical fitness test. You could do any combination of the two as long as you locked out your elbows at the bottom, got your chin over the bar and got to 20 (I think it's 23 now). The conventional wisdom was to train pull-ups almost exclusively because your rep ceiling was higher than chin-ups thanks to the back being such a huge muscle group compared to biceps. Most guys would get close to perfect on pull-ups, then switch grips and finish off the test with two or three chin-ups. That's how I did it.

But (You) started when it became cool.

>>77320727
I find I alternate depending on elbow tendinitis

Overhand grip just seems more natural. Like when in a natural scenario are you ever going to be hoisting yourself up with an underhand grip?

>>77320776
I wouldn't be caught dead doing biceps curls

>>77320776
This. Pullups are generally better but chin ups are good too. Both are great though

>>77320727
Rippetoe says chins because they are the same movement, except the chins include the bicep

Man, how the hell can you do biceps curls if you dead?

Most people cheat them because they have no core stability anyway. Lots of locking out at the shoulders at the bottom. I use gymnastics rings because they dont condition you to stretch your neck at the top to complete the lift.

>>77320736
i am 196cm tall and except for outdoor workout setups that have the really high pullup bars, ive never been at a gym where i can do pull ups without my feet reaching the floor at the bottom position. so i always have to keep my legs bent

>>77322653
Are Marines as retarded as people say they are? Main reason I never joined

>>77323722
Bend your legs, don’t cross them

>>77323726
Joining doesn’t make you retarded. Being retarded makes you join

>>77323726
>Are Marines as retarded as people say they are?
Kind of. I was in I-Level aviation electronics, so we were among the smarter Marines. Even still we had a couple people in our shop who were dumb as fuck or didn't know how to apply themselves, others who are millionaires now 8 years later. Some of your less technical MOSs definitely attract bottom-barrel ding dongs. I'd say we have a good mix of a few geniuses, most people at average or above, and a solid contingent of window-lickers. Overall I'd say, no, the stereotype isn't exactly earned, but I see where it came from.

>>77323733
Also kind of. It can definitely be a dumb as fuck choice to join a place that will absolutely make you depressed, fuck up your joints, and give you alcohol and nicotine habits. But if you use it appropriately, you can get set up for life. I've workes in the Space industry since I got out and I have two houses and two businesses on the side as well as a college degree that I didn't have to pay for. It's what you make it.

Chinups since they're the nationally agreed choice of the two here in Finland(and propably northern europe?) in all tests etc. I know US is pullup country but how does the divide go globally?


You should do both. Also color this map if you feel like it so we can get some info on the cultural divide.

Mut vastaote on vaikeampi

>>77322653
nice stolen valor. Why i know you are lying, chin ups are easier than pulls up, since they recruit the bicep, its far easier to do chins ups than pulls ups.
If you do 20 pulls up in your first set you should be able to do 22 chinups easily in your next set.
Maybe next time larp as a movie star you dyel fuck

Faggot

>>77324314
well the fact anon is lying about pull ups and chinups sort of makes the entire story sound dubious. Faggot

>>77324265
they are about the same, varies on the person. look at final rep scores. no feelythinking there. chins are easier for newbies cause it takes them a while to realize how to use back muscles + on average arms are way more developed than back. the ceiling is about equal

>>77324452
Pullups are also shorter ROM than chins

>>77320727
both but I get a deeper lat stretch with chin ups

>>77323726
>Enlisted
Of course they are retards. As a boot 2nd Lt made the same amount as E6 with 6 years of experience and after 4 years as an O2 I made more than E7 with 20+ years of experience.

Rules to live by:
1) Avoid infantry at all costs
2) Get commissioned unless it violates the first rule

>>77323728
why?

>>77323861
Finland is a shit country, even your president is a Swede.

>>77324674
We couldn't all afford college first. Besides, an enlistment is good for your personal development. It keeps you humble.
>>77324265
>Duh... you mus be lying becuz I tink da chin up easier dan da pull up.
Faggot.

>Marines absolutely peer pressure each other into mental decline and becoming stupider.
I can attest to this. When I was in, it was common in the barracks to abuse coricidin cough medicine for a cheap fun high and after doing that for like a month, I legitimately felt myself getting dumber and losing mental processing power. Stopped after that, but fuck I imagine I permanently dropped at least a few IQ points.

>>77324716
its not think retard, it is, factually easier. You dyels are out of control, with your shitposting. None of you faggots workout

>>77324743

It's almost like fitness standards are a thing in the military or something.

>>77320736
You can lift one leg using the other, reducing the total weight your arms have to lift

>>77326141
You might be a genius.

>>77326141
I actually use both my legs to kick against plates hanging between my legs when doing weighted pullups/chins.
It's like a double-jump
