I've always done chins and my lat spread is probably my best part. However, I've read conflicting information about what exercise recruits the most muscle fiber. What do you guys recommend more chins or pull ups?
i agree.To me chins are better for bicep exercise and pullups better for my lats.
how do you do that?RACK CHINS!!!!!!!!
.
I second that.i agree.
Hey just found this pic on IntenseMuscle. credit to big JimPaul -- always coming through in the clutch!!
So you are at a 45 degree angle at your waist, so your head is about over your knees? Sounds wierd but I think i'll try it.I much prefer the "Dillett". What is the Dillett? It's somewhere between a chin-up and a pull-up or rather a combo of both. Like this:
Hands shoulder-width, palms facing you, thumbs opposing the other fingers. Pull the bar down (on a pulldown machine) or your body up, holding your body at a 45° angle, so that at the end of the motion, your hands are at the sides of the plexus. Keep the elbows back and inflate your ribcage as you pull yourself up. This is a very difficult variation, most don't need to add weight. Actually, most will do it on a pulldown machine...
It hits the lats so perfecty it's freaky.
I just tried this today, and I gotta say I really like this exercise. The contraction I feel at the lower end of the pull is off the chart, and for me feels right up there with rack chins/pullups, which I also really enjoy.I much prefer the "Dillett".
