OH. So you are thinking of chins and pullups as two different exercises? Why the hell for. There's not real difference except for the grip and chins can be a bitch for some because of the unnatural nature of the grip. Screw that man. If you want to do pullups do pullups. If you do a buch of pullups and feel like you can eek out more reps by switching to a chin grip then do that. It doesn't make a real difference to the back muscles and all that and really the biggest thing it affects is the biceps. But do the one that allows you to do the MOST.

I actually didn't realize you were doing "chins" in upper 1 as opposed to pullups. You would probably have improved more on pullups if you were doing mostly pullups on both.

When I personally say chins or pullups I am using them interchaneably meaning do whatever the fuck you want. I do mostly pullups and then chins to get more in because doing all chins hurts my forearms (in a bad way) so that's not very productive for me plus I get better range of motion with pullups.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
