Close grip supinated chins /Pull downs

[monsterman500]

I am convinced that this is the way to go. Not wide grip. Dorian & Mike mentzer used this.
I feel my lats pumpin up.
It´s all about pulling the elbows back

Mix it all up.....use different back exercises every few weeks...........the lats/back will get stimulated and if fed and rested should grow or at least recover.

You can build an insane back by BB Rows alone.............but why be bored?

Wide grip chins put your shoulders at a god awful angle anyways- that alone is reason enough not to do them. Close grip puts the biceps and shoulders in a biomechanically stronger position. If you want to protect your rotator cuff, that's the way to go. But the absolute best position is palms facing each other, as you would using rings. You will naturally rotate your forearms as you pull up - minimizing injury.

Use both grips. You don’t have to chose one or the other.

Wide grip isn’t lats it’s all the small muscles of upper back teres ect drive elbow towards hip with narrow palms in grip for lats (applies to rows and chin/pulldown movements

Hi Jane hope you well

Work going great, the work arrangement I told you about earlier this year about winding down the building work to go work with my mate never went as planned we decided instead to do both and have been doing mostly my building work while the weather is good (good for here at least haha heatwave last week highs of 24) working in a 3 man squad after being just the 2 for last few years is great for sharing the workload, motivation came back was had none at start of year after having to pass on a few jobs I had booked in due to weather and shit but things good now
