 Sugdens very own David Dimbleby Member 1403, 3716 posts SQ 220, BP 115, DL 260595.0 kgs @ 97kgs UnEq | I'm determined to get better at chin ups, and have gone from being able to do a few singles to a few sets of four reps in about two weeks. Should I just keep going like this or add bands for assistance etc? | ||

 tight in the hole Member 2057, 3121 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | I'd keep going as you are. They're pretty easy to improve on if you do them regularly | ||

 enter the welsh dragon Member 738, 2297 posts SQ 372.5, BP 237.5, DL 355965.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq | I find wide grip weighted chins help me get a better control on my lats, so I can tighten them up for bench press. I have s**t genetics for bench and I find getting my back really tight helps a lot for pressing power. | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5207 posts | After I gained weight I could hardly do any proper pull ups. I remember twice a week aiming to get around 30 reps per workout. Started off doing around 10 or 12 sets of 3. After few weeks, was able to hit sets of 8 to ten no problem. There not easy on the ego if you can barley do them. If you stick at them tho, you improve quickly. Suppose like any other exercise. | ||

Mask it or Casket !! Member 4600, 8166 posts SQ 240, BP 162.5, DL 255657.5 kgs @ 90.5kgs UnEq | Well there good fun.... I would get your reps up to 50 in 5 sets before adding weight though. I suggest that they are fun and I occassionally do them as a variation for grip training.. I just rep and rep and hang. Mind you I use a scaffold bar- slim bar aint worth a rub. In summary, dont take the chin up to seriously- Only a variation for grip improvement. | ||

So youre saying the pull up does no good other than grip? | ||

My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6050 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | AdamT said: One of the best work outs out there.

Loads of benefits of chins other than grip related ones, in fact, I'd say that they aren't that great for grip work due to limitations on the amount of weight being used | ||

This, I used to do pullups/dips with 60kg when I weighed circa 95kg. Now at 110kg bw I generally just do bodyweight stuff | ||
