Which is your Favourite: Pull-ups, Chin-ups or Pulldowns?
ad
Just wondered what everyone's Favourite vertical pull exercise is, Pull-up's or chin-ups (Bodyweight/weighted) or Pulldowns/neutral grip etc (Machine based)? Include Muscle-ups if you can do them!
I know they are slightly easier than pull-ups but mine are chin-ups, purely for the additional biceps and forearm involvement you also get.
Have a Great weekend everyone.

jayiskDbol .. :} makes your back grow in 3 days.
More like the next damn day :)) Love that stuff ...
jayiskToo bad it doesn't build muscle....lol
They can all have there place in back training but I would say old school pull ups have built more big backs than anything else.
zmlxnqf0904Pull-up's with weighted. Start from 20kg weight, than 10kg,5kg.
It's a bit different to the exercises being discussed here, but a great little video I've just watched with some great psychological tips & training methods discussed by a guy with some of the Hugest arms ever!:

The guy eats 4 whole chickens a day wtf.
TronChef Rush's head is so small compared to his body it looks like his head is on the wrong body.
pull ups .. great for big backs.. body weight or weighted...
Pullups behind the neck like Arnold did! HardAF
Bang'emi like pull ups great for the back muscles
I prefer pulldowns, can get a better contraction and pump doing them, but I'm working on improving my pull up volume so who knows when that's up to par I might prefer pull ups.
Pull-ups body weight
Medium grip pull downs
I love rope pullovers standing up too
Laying on a incline bench rowing with dumbbells
Also the seated rows lol these are my favorite back excersises
Pull ups. I like them behind the neck to.
Like the pulldowns!
TronDepends on what I'm wanting to focus on.. With what I suppose would be considered a pronated grip.. shoulder width I feel it in my forearms, outer bicep, and with control you can really feel it in Your upper/mid back muscles.. wide-grips to focus on lats (especially weighted) underhand close grip can murder your biceps.. I feel it in my back and biceps to some degree with every kind of pull up.. sometimes when I feel like it.. I'll do nothing but pull-ups for a good back and biceps workout.. about 4-5 sets per different grip.. all to failure..just to change things up.. and pull-ups are outstanding for overall strength gains...as far as muscle ups... Nah.. fuck that.. at 220 pounds I'll leave that to the CrossFit guys, the lighter guys.. and or the guys that are just much stronger than I am lol
Superset pull-ups and pull downs
TronMy absolute favorite to get the best pump in my back.. especially lats.
Weighted pull ups , work up to my highest 8-10 rep max drop the weight then back up and another until failure as wide as I can go... as many sets as I can do until failure adjusting reps
TronFOREHEAD!!
Boing
jayiskbefore i just noticed the forehead. Now the more i look at it i feel you are trying to sneak a look at me through your avatar. Good thing i dont smoke weed cause it would freak me out. And if i had a camera on this monitor i would disconnect just in case....lol
may have to start wearing a tinfoil hat so you cant read my thoughts.
AnonLMFAO great now that's all I can think of..
Don't you dare change that profile pic shplah..
PcushionMine are weighted pull ups. I go wide with the grip so I can really work the lats.
TronPlus it looks really cool with a 45 pound plate hanging from your body from chains. Lol.
I remember the first time I ever saw this Big grizzly bear looking bloke when I was 16 doing weighted pull ups with a 20 kg dumbell hanging inbetween his legs - I thought it looked so fu**in cool at the time!
Getting the weight belt off is killer after going to failure isn't it Lol
