I generally do a chin grip first then go to a pull-up grip as that gets easier.It would be fine to alternate grips between different workouts. I don't really do pullups anymore except for warmup, but a general rule is to start narrow with a chin grip then try to go to a wide pullup grip.

I do pull ups twice a week with a 606 tempo but it usually gets too difficult after the first or second set, and I switch to l-sit tuck chin ups. You really find pull ups easier than chin ups?

You really find pull ups easier than chin ups?I guess my wording wasn't very clear. What I meant to say is that I used the chin grip as an easier progression. So for example I did regular chinups first then when they got easy I did pull-ups. Then you could move to L-chin or some other variation that is harder, and when that gets to be too easy move into an L-pullup. Just follow the progressions in the book. These are helpful. Don't get caught in the semantics of the grip you'll see carryover from both exercises.So basically I changed grip whenever I needed a slightly harder exercise. Just know there is a time when you can leave pullups behind for your main conditioning work. Eventually they are too easy to evoke a response from the body.

jl5555 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Well, quite a few follow Slizzardman's pullup routine (aka Joshua). A search will find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A search will find it.Is this the one:You're basically going to figure out how many pull ups you can do for 10 sets. I would suggest trying 4. You will do regular pull ups, close pull ups, chin ups, parallel grip and wide pull ups. Then you repeat that. You're looking for 20-30s rest periods. You do not add reps until all sets are 4 pull ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiyafan Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I have one of those door frame pullup bar at home, I usually do neutral grip on the first set, then pullup, chinup, neutral grip, chinup for each of the next four sets. I find chinups easier than pullups, probably twice the number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jl5555 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 That's very similar, yes. More detail around obviously but that's close. The one I recall was 5 sets of the 5 grips. Josh's plan is good as it varies the grips hopefully avoiding any type of repetitive stress injury. boban said: Is this the one:You're basically going to figure out how many pull ups you can do for 10 sets.
