Chinups

Chinups are for wusses, unless you use your dick instead of your arms. That's what I do.

A one inch pullup doesn't count! 😠

Well played.

He's being modest (see my PUN?). He wraps it around 7 times, first. 😄

I was mixing chip up with pull up. The chinups are much easier. Those pullups are a ***** though.

I'm still not sure what the difference between chin-ups and pull-ups is.

Either one is very easy for me, because I'm light weight (125 lbs), and I'm able to bench press 195 (on a good day I can do 200), I can power clean 220, and I can squat 330. So pound for pound, I'm pretty strong. It's good to be light weight and strong.

chin ups are the lazy man pull up..

chin up you maintain a slight arc in your arms from 45 to 75 degree angle without completely straightening out your arms and tangling at the start off position each time..

also in chin ups the palms are facing you...

a pull up you tangle freely each time you lift up and down tangling at the start off position.. if you maintain bend in your elbows however slight it does not count as a pull up...

plus more often than not you can also have palms out making it harder then a chin up facing in. but it can be interchangeable..
must also keep legs straight down and not kick or have them raised to make things easier. the key is to always tangle..

here:

I tried it two weeks ago: I can only do 10 chin-ups.

That is pretty good I can't get even one done.

I also weighed 230lbs, at the time. (I haven't weighed myself in 2 weeks.)

Imma a big ol' boy....so it is a pretty good feat. If I weighed 190, I could probably get 20-30.

i dont do chin ups.. but i do, do pull ups... out of shape i do 15.. semi shape 18 in shape i am hitting the 30's and 42 minimum...

I change my answer.

In shape, I could do 43. 😐

Actually, that's not true at all. Both workouts work two different sets of muscles, thus are both equally important in their use. Chinups put strain on the biceps, though spreading to the sidearms as well.
Pullups, which also use sidearms, strengthens back muscles and shoulders if done correctly. To be honest, I can do more pullups than a I can do chinups.
But if you want, I will make a spin-off thread.

my friend at the gym use to say even when you do something wrong you are still working out muscles...

also i double the amount from pull up to chin up wo if i can do 15 out of shape i can do 30 chin ups

Or hurting yourself. Your choice. Certain forms could tear a muscle.

In shape, anyone can do 43.

when you do a chin up, do you raise your knees to help you or kick to help you get the extra push?

you missed the point of my statement.. 😬
