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.

yeah Eric...haha....i took chins and chins and pull-ups were seperate. i like ur idea though: do pull-ups and then crank out a few reps at the end of it. i like that. so Eric, is this ok then:
on upper 1 i dont do chins or pull-ups. i only do the hammer strength rows. i dont want to do pull-ups 2x a week, E. if u dont want me to do hammer rows what else would u recommend? on upper 2 i do pull-ups and chin-ups in the combination u suggested.
what do u feel, sir?
