Which do you think gets wider lats Pulldowns or wide grip chins. I personally do both just to switch things up. but what do you guys think?

Usually when I think of wide grip, I think of my forearms being perpendicular with the floor at the peak of the movement, or maybe just an inch or two wider. Any wider than that seems to place unnecessary stress on the AC joints.by wide are we talking shoulder width? my wrists feel funny going wider than that.
Chin-ups are palms facing you and uses more biceps. Pull-ups are palms facing away from you and focus more mostly back/lats. I believe most people are actually meaning wide grip pull-ups not chin-ups in these posts.
because your bicep has less leverage with your palms facing outwards. Your bicep tendon wraps around your bone and has less pulling ability than otherwise.stupid question but which way do u guys keep ur hands facing i have my palms facing towards my feet but some guy at the gym said flip it...that feels weird tho...wat do u guys think?

Yeah I remember they used to tell us that, but most guys were told to do them palms facing them so as to use more of their biceps to assist. I allways did them palms facing foward from me because I allways have, and never had problems easily reaching my 20 pull ups.In Boot i was told that its personal preference, some people are more comfortable than others with either way.
I started out doing them palms to my body, but could never get more than 8 without assistance... switched it up and i could do 10-12 reps on each set...
(Yes i was weak in boot)... but that was a while ago...

SEMPER FI-
When you hit over the 200 mark in weight, you might think differently.I feel lat pull downs are no substitute for pull ups. Use a weight belt if needed.
