I do them wide and behind the neck. Pull ups are one of the exercises that are neglected. People have no idea how much they can develope your back. Just look at my avatar...

I usually do shoulder width or a little wider. Pull ups are great for making your lats flare out. But, like said above switch up your grip sometimes to hit it a little differently.

I love chins, I personally prefer to maintain a wide grip palms away, and I pull to my chest. I realized better results pulling to the chest as opposed to behind the neck. This is usually my first exercise on back day, it really get my muscles ready for the following exercises. Also, don't forget to do a few deadlifts, I love finishing my back routine with them.

I do pull ups almost every day. Wide grip is good and works my shoulders as well. Close grip underhand and overhand side are my favorites. As soon as I get to 20 reps I add 20 pounds. getting from 15 reps to 20 reps seems to be the hardest. I wouldnt add weight until I was able to do at least 20 in a row.

You can not compare the 2. They work the muscles differently. A person should do both. But I guess, if I had to pick it would be wide. VERY WIDE. The wider you go the wider you can make you back.

I use pullups sometimes to mix things up on my workout. It depends how advance you are, but sometimes on my back workout the only thing I will do is pullups. I'll pick a number like try to do 150. No matter how many sets or how long it takes to get to the number, I'll get to 150. Its one of my things to do when I'm in a training rut.

Try holding em for a ten count while doing them WIDE. Monster Pain!!

But the flare out you'll gain is Awsome!!
