@taniwharugby supinated i.e. palms facing me. I use the term pullups for palms away (pronated). The bar I've got has wide grip for pullups as well, and neutral grip bars which I'm going to start on next.
Range of motion through the shoulder has always been an issue for me due to scrummaging, and particularly after the flip tackle I suffered earlier this year, so any grip wider than my shoulders tends to fuck that up.

@mn5 And @Rancid-Schnitzel sticks to chicks unlike your gay groove-greasing shit. Take that elsewhere. @taniwharugby is now confused and scared.

If you actually googled it fat boy you might manage a respectable amount of chins.

Pushups last night while watching Preacher on my tablet. 5 X 10 so that's coming along nicely.
Chinup session today on the public holiday. 5 X 2 chinups at 5 seconds each. Good burn.
Fucking left shoulder and pec still playing up. Makes me think I'm having chest pain of the wrong sort sometimes, but it never travels so I'm good.

With the chins and pull ups I found it really beneficial to actually film yourself doing it ( or get one of the kids to if you can bribe them ) to make sure you're getting the full ROM. I did and realised I could definitely improve my form although obviously that makes it harder and the reps might drop a bit.

Last night I did some pull ups (pronated grip/overhand) at shoulder width grip and while it was tough, I got through 4 sets of 2 and a set of 3.
Realised in the first two sets I was jumping into the first lift, so I slowed it down which was even tougher
They're tough. I can do 14 genuine dead hang pull ups in a row at about 98kg. Was pushing 20 til I got real and checked my form. Still wanna get to 20 but it'll be tough going. I'm not a 60kg 20 something.....

@mn5 I've always sucked at pull ups, even when I was gym bunny, I couldnt do 10.
