>switched from wide grip pullups to close grip chins

>>35627094
I thought wide grips hit lats harder (since theyre more difficult with grip spacing)?

>>35627106
they hit the upper back harder, but the lat rom is smaller and thus it hits lats less. With a narrow grip the rom is greater

Same here. I was reading a thread a couple weeks ago about chin-ups vs pull-ups. I've been doing wide grip pull-ups for 2 years and switched to weighted chins and started getting DOMS in my arms and lats for the first time in a while.

>>35627106
No, the wider the grip, the more it'll hit the traps (in addition to lats). Yates himself has written a article on this.

Shit. That explains why i have a meaty upper back (rear of traps) but lats are lagging. Thx bros

I do both wide grip pull ups and close grip chin ups in equal amounts. What does this mean?

>>35627168
Btw, this also true for OHP. The wider grip, the more on traps; the narrower the grip, more on deltoids.

On bench press, this you go like wider/narrower -- pecs/triceps'n'delts.

You probably enjoy that fence post stimulating your prostate. Pick a side, fuccboi

>>35627226
wider grip on ohp -> more side deltoid
closer grip on ohp -> more front delt

>tfw still can't do pullups but getting close

You must be new here. Welcome to /fit/. No homo.

>>35627277
you will make it bruh, it was the same for me not a long time ago

>>35627197
I recently switched to doing both as well. Getting that back thickness on fleek.

I used to share the same feel, but now I'm just as insecure about
>tfw can't do 2pl8 pull up

What does neutral grip hit?

>>35627346
the calves

narrow grip chins are godtier

I did weighted chins for awhile, now switched to weighted pull ups while cutting. Wish I had done it backwards, I'll be able to progress a little while at least still.

These are hand down the best back exercise and the only one I do. Things like bent over rows and lat pull downs are useless.

Best back excerises - weighted chins/pull ups/deadlifts - hyper extensions/seated cable rows, These are more of a rehab thing though I feel.

I also get more or less the same soreness from both weighted pull/chin. It's just a weighted chin is more compact and uses biceps. If you look at yourself in the mirror or someone doing a pull up you'll notice how much more impressive it is, just be good at all grips and your back will be golden.

This desu. All you other anons should listen to this guy, he's right.
