Best pull from above? (Chin, wide pull up)

[nodiggitydave]

What's your favourite way to pull from above?

Parallel grip pull up?
Supinated Chin-Up?
Military Pull up? (Hands facing bar)
Wide Grip pull up?

you should do them all and strive to do them weighted.

no swinging - a "kip" is not a pullup

My fav is the chin-up. Like super_rice said you should do them all (and add weight).

I disagree that a kipping pull-up in not a pull-up. I think kipping pull-ups (and strict pull-ups) have their place in a training program. For example if you are trying to increase you max rep pull-ups number, you can do 15 strict and then do 2 or 3 with a kip. Or if you are trying to get your heart rate up and fry your back at the same time, you could do 30 kipping pull-ups supersetted with shoulder presses or whatever. My point is there is a time and place for kipping pull-ups as well as strict pull-ups.

regular grip chins for arm work, or wide-grip pullups for back work. I do them after my regular workout.
