Super Wide Grip Pull-Ups

[deadz]

I perform three sets of narrow grip pull-ups at the end of my back workout.

[Tapeworm]

My back work is front lever, pulls/chins, bodyweight rows, and inverted pullups. I never do wide grip. Adding weight and single arm negatives make things hard enough. Still can't do a single arm pullup.

V-Bar pullups are great palms facing each other like JPM said earlier with a cable row attatchment.....one of my favorites......my back/lats suck but I love training it.

Super wide anything feels really awkward.

It seems like the human body is built to explode with narrower hand positioning.

Agreed, shoulder width or one handsbreadth wider/narrower

Lamp! GOod one! 

[SF1900]

Listen to SF1900. I’m told that he’s massive

So is Rory.

[SF1900]

it does matter to your joints/ligaments  & muscles. Range of motion ..TUT
Do you even train bro?

I agree that it matters to your joints, ligaments, and tendons. But I don’t agree that changing hand position can substantially make a muscle bigger.

Also my original post said nothing about joints, tendons or ligaments. It was about muscle growth.

The last thing the penis of Katz's training partner Joey can recall seeing before retreating in to the lower abdominal cavity and passing out from sheer terror.

Katz still lives......even though he`s no good. 

Arnold is disguised as a completely different person but he`s amongst us!

[wes]

Hands just a tad wider than shoulder width grip,chest to bar with a complete stretch in the bottom position....... if you can do them this way.....if not just do whatever the fuck works for you dammit.

pulldown machines are better, no?

[Bevo]

I used to be able to do super wide pull ups with 4 45 pound plates on, thought it was useless so I stuck with only 3 45 pound plates instead

[stingray]

you guys honeslty think a certain grip gives better results?

only way to grow a decent and thick back is with peds

[Henda]

Hand positioning doesn't matter.

If the bodypart is meant to get big, it will get big no matter what you do.

If your lats are meant to be big they will be huge just off pulling the cord that opens the blinds every morning

so does wanking grow big forearms?

[Henda]

so does wanking grow big forearms?

Thst depends on how many strokes it takes, the less strokes the better the results, got to stay in the muscle building rep range

“You remember, Joey? I know I sure do. Oh, baby.” - Katz to Arnold during Pumping Iron outtakes

If I switch from over hand  lat pulldowns to under hand lat pulldowns, how much more should I expect my back to grow?

What if I do close grip barbell curls vs wide grip barbell curls—how many more inches will I put on my biceps?

Please advise.
