Lift Execution

I am just wondering how you do your pullups , do you bring your elbows down by your sides , or down in front of you on arch.

Examples below.


Reason for my asking is pullups I do to the sides , because for chinups I do to the front.

body im getting tired of u calling me that A-hole.

But you didnt read the post.

"PULLUPS"

are overhand grip...... Do you do your "pullups with elbows in front of you with downward row or to the sides , I can do either one , Both are easy they feel similiar and I can do just as many on one as the other.

Its just if I hold myself halfway on a one arm pullups , and feel my trap , it feels that it increases the thickness more with to the front , and width more to the sides.

So I was just wondering the correct way , along with how MOST people on here do them.

I mentioned chinups due to the fact , that I do my chinups to the front , so my guess is that I shoud do the pullups to the sides since my lats are already getting stimulation from the front.


PULLUPS = OVERHAND
CHINUPS = UNDERHAND

thats how they exercises always are. no matter what latissimus path you use.

Now, now, let's watch the language.

I do pull-ups with a narrow grip and my elbows come down in front of me, not to the sides. I do the same with chin-ups. Technically speaking about the kinetics of the exercise, you will activate the latissimus more if you take your elbows to the side. It all depends on what you want out of the exercise--more isolation or a more compound movement.

Whenever I said A-hole , I was talking about malic , I searched him and his posts up on here.

Im guessing them to the sides give the more isolation , where them to the front gives more compound , My entire workout is based on nothing but compound movements so I would shy away more from the isolation so wanting to make sure which is which.

Now with the comparisons , whats the muscle differences between chinups and pullsup both to the front? Same exact exercise but chinups involve the biceps more? and they each just hit the same muscles from different angles?
