Chin ups palms facing you?

I was always under the impression that they're meant to work different parts of the back.

With good form, wide grip chins hit the upper, outer lats really, really well (as long as the rear delts, to a degree, and some other back muscles).

Pull ups hit the mid-lower lats, for me. I consider them too different exercises.

I call those 'pull ups' but I guess that everyone else on Earth calls them chins...lol.

I don't like them...at all. Palms away are much more difficult and build a much better back...IMO.

It's a southern thing. I saw one time where you were from kentucky... Here in Tennessee they're pull-ups.
