If Pull-ups are Too Hard… Are Chin-Ups Really the Answer?

[Drehmomentdante]

Gentlemen, I can proudly announce that this is the one machine I maxed out entirely.

[nikkinichols]

Do I lift? No. Am I informed and endeared? Absolutely

[ZapGames_Ofc]

There's no shame in starting low and easy, the journey is long and hard, you dont need to mske it harder than it already is, slow and low, to make the thing happen💪

Doing chin-ups because the door won’t let me go higher:

Another tip, is to do negatives. Jump or boost yourself up to the bar and the top position (like you did a pull-up) and then slowly lower yourself down the fully stretched position. This is greatly increase your pull-up power.

I can EASILY max this machine. Lightwork 🗣🔥

I finally had the balls to take the resistance off and smashed out 10 in a row. Love this machine.

I came to tell you that I moved my thumb from clutching to on the same side as my fingers for the lat pull downs and I feel wayyyy more in control! Thank you for all of the videos that you do ❤

I do chin-ups because they are better for the biceps

[jamesgoude]

Using rubber bands for assists with pull ups is also amazing! Helps control your form with swaying and whatnot

[TheRealShaiLamar]

This is so easy to listen to, you both have such a peaceful, angelic presence 🧘🏾‍♂️

Doing chin-ups because they're easier than pull-ups: ❌
Doing chin-ups to reach failure after failure in pull-ups: ✅

Doing corect chin ups for the back is the same thing as doing pull upp, most people just dont know how to do them

[joshelic]

This has become a staple for me the past couple of months. Great to start pull day 👍

Chin ups engage lats more. the muscle group that limits the pull up will be the forearms. also a vertical pull version of the bent over row. Personal choice though. But i recommend chin ups more.

I used to do negatives to get good at pullups 😊😊😊😊

[vwdeathwishwv]

Bro i just need to tell you. The skullcrusher video helped me alot. I was having elbow pain after every workout and not anymore. This is real good advice

[adventurer]

Some people choose chin ups despite being able to do pulls ups. It’s not just a matter of ability. I prefer to do weighted chin ups for better compound movement between my lats and biceps.

[blugarr]

Well if you can do chin ups, you probably can do at least 1 pull up. If you can do 1+ pull up you gotta use really light weight on assisted pull up machine. So light that it doesnt even help anymore because it goes up slower than a turtle
