Both helped me build a bigger back.
So I love both pull ups and chin ups.

[josephkoziol]

Pull ups rule. I do 5 reps @ 6 sets for 30 a session . Minimum 3x per week. No kipping. I am over 70. ☮️

Can u guys do a video on the background on how you become physical therapist and maybe things you would suggest a teen wanting to go into the field.

[Fungitarian]

Y'all like the click and clack of physical therapist ❤️🙂❤️🙂❤️ thanks for all the great info

[maxwellschmidt]

It's always seemed to me that overhand is better at bottom range of motion, and underhand is better at top... good to hit both, but this is why I prefer to do them on rings- the arm rotates and engages all the muscles as the movement completes.

[Molly-vnhf]

You guys along with having gone to pt before is making me think dealing with the school might be worth it to become a physical therapist

[zalapski]

Both good just hit different parts of back. We all need to get HUGE!

[SG-bsdm]

I really enjoy your channel. Thank you so much for showing me an easier way to do push-ups in one of your earlier videos!

[SEAKPhotog]

They both hit the back at nearly the same areas and intensity. I say go with what feels best or go with chin ups if you want to recruit more biceps if pull ups and chin ups feel the same. Chin ups feel better on my tendinitis and I like the biceps pump so I mostly do them.🤷🏻‍♂️

We have your anchor and cables system, but these pull ups are so cool. My husband currently does them against a bathroom sink.

[CompanionDude]

I really laughed at the eight minuteconversation. Take this like from a random 28 year old Portuguese. I really enjoy and can really always take something from your videos for me. Thanks guys!

[spicykimchi]

Thanks for the video, but how often do you recommend doing pull-ups? twice a week? Every other day?

[ARDG]

I do both in the same workout session. They have more significant effects on different muscles.

[sondra]

I watch you guys all the time, this video is my fav. My goal is a few unassisted pull ups, you guys make me laugh every time. Great job!!

[fastsongdancequimpo]

Great for ladies.
Thanks for sharing.
How and where to order that new invention of yours for pullups and chinups?

[joeyleveille]

Great video! Could you show us how to make our own version of Brad's invention?

[annatanneberger]

Thanks, gentlemen! I am a great fan of yours. 
Could you please explain which muscles are used when you do the hanging knee raise?
Not just core muscles, but especially which SHOULDER muscles.
When lockdown started, what I missed most from the gym, was the hanging knee-raise. So I bought one that can be installed against a wall at home - basically, just the two armrests at an appropriate height.
I love it, because of the stretch-out just from hanging there, it feels good on my spine, even before working my core. It's the same as the inversion-table you described in another video, except that you're not upside down.
But I'm interested to know which shoulder muscles work.= resting on your elbows and your body hanging off your shoulders.
The first time I tried the hanging knee-raise, my shoulders were too weak to hold me in that position. Now it's easy, and I would like to know which muscles I'd worked successfully to achieve that.

Pull up helps build more width chin ups help build thickness

[Nickpaintbrush]

I think a dedicated pull up bar bolted into the brickwork or similar would be better, thanks!

[gunargundarson]

I always thought that chin-ups were for the forearms and triceps & the pull-ups were for the biceps and the deltoids
