Tell me of a more useless pull-up variant. Pro tip: you can't.

Exactly. Which is why chins are superior.

Well, I like to alternate between chin-ups an pull-ups, gives more variety and variety is fun.
I actually tried to make wide pull-ups work because I thought it would be a nice addition, but it always felt awkward and ever since I read more about them I gave up making them work

>>77608629
This is pretty much the only way I do pullups.

If not
>overhand
>wide
It doesn‘t count as a full pullup

Fatsos and dyels need not reply

Bringing your shoulders to an awkward position and limiting your range of motion surely is the way to go.

For years I felt this way. I only did chinups and occasionally tried a narrow grip pullup variation. Then i started to do a higher volume of narrow grip pull up variations, and found that my forearms were cramping up/limiting my pulling power. Also, somebody challenged me to try wide, claiming it was a show of true power. So I tried a very wide grip pullup. It wasnt bad and my forearms weren't cramping, so I stuck with them. My upper back suddenly blew out.

I know, I know. I understand and agree it shouldn't be. But it seems to be. Bear in mind I go from dead hang to to throat to bar, so Im definitely doing a full ROM wide grip pullup. And I still doing just as many chin-ups. But doing wide does appear to have affected my lats in some way. They are def wider/bigger. I cannot explain it. But it is.

You have to try comando pull ups (one side at a time, dont so that retarded switching movement)

I have been trying it recently, and theyre peak, a good variation with a diferent stimulus
>>

>commando pullups

>goes against the biomechanics
Retards learning new words uh oh. It's a front plane shoulder adduction. It's perfect biomechanics by the nature of you can actually do it.

In fact, it should probably be the only pull-up you're doing if you also have any sort of regular grip rows in your program. Otherwise you're just doing the same shit twice.

>chances of fucking up your shoulders
Holy shit, is this why the back of my shoulder always feels tight and sore? I noticed it right after I switched to wide instead of chin ups
>>
>>77609304
those handles are goated I just wish they weren't attached to the fucking SQUAT RACK at my gym.

I can do 18 pull ups. Can't hit 20 no matter how hard I try what do?
