Tear your lat with your bodyweight?  How much your weight? 400?

Very popular back in the day.  Roy Callendar used to do a ton of these with 2) 150 lb dumbells hanging from his waist.

Hey, us short people are not midgets, we are "vertically challenged" 

[PJim]

You are better off with a closer grip, palms up. The wider you go, the more you reduce the range of motion.

"wide grip chins" doesnt equal a "wide back".

If you want to fuck up your shoulders, then yes do "wide grip chins".

I always do mine with hands a bit past shoulder width, what extra benefit does doing them wide bring?

[WillGrant]

Thats a mute point, genetics or no genetics the human body has the same anatomy.

If you put your hand on your lat's and mimmick the action of a narrower grip vs the w-i-d-e grip you will see what is better for stimulation..to wide a grip limits range of motion and robs the lats of growth inducing contraction.

Arnold diddnt just do wide grip chins he did all grips.

As unsung says its just a tool like any other exercise.

If you do them to the rear, elbows-wide. To the front, pulling to the chin, you're ok.

Do sternum chins you pussies.

[Fatpanda]

True. But with his genetics he could have probably gotten away with not doing them.

he didn't do them due to insertion points, he argued that everyone gets a better lat stretch from close grip pull ups/downs.

Dorian Yates says that wide grip isn't good for back because you're using mainly arms and teres.
