Default I've Ditched Pull-ups


And substituted them with BTN PULL-UPS!!!!
Tried these today for the very first time and all i can say is, HOLY CRAP! I usually can do 15 conventional pull-ups, only could bang out 5 of these! Definitely felt much more comfortable to me. Yep guys, i've turned to "the dark side" hehe.

Does that put more stress on the shoulders or did it feel comfortable?

It did put a little extra tension on the shoulders, but the exercise still felt very comfortable. The contraction in the lats was amazing, if you haven't tried these yet I truly recommend you do.

I'm a huge fan of btn chins... alot of people don't believe it's possible, but I do them a couple of times per week. Had to drop the weight quite a bit when I first started them... a lot harder than btn pullups, but a lot more effective... FOR ME.

My dip/pull-up tower at home has a pull-up bar shaped like bicycle handles, so there's no bar to get in the way of your head. It's the perfect medium.

Welcome to the dark side my friend I've been doing btn pullups and chins all along. I think once you develop the shoulder flexibility, you won't feel any strain on them. Despite what the research says, they are much more effective at hitting my lats than pullups and chins to the front. Yeah, I had to drop the weight too, but can now do sets of 6 with 60lbs strapped on... so keep at 'em

BTN are very good. I feel it more in the inner, middle back region.

Just make sure not to injure myself.

Yep, i'm gonna keep at these. It's just weird...I went from doing pull ups with 40 pounds strapped on to doing btn pull ups bodyweight for a couple of reps...lol. I do feel that they hit the lats better tho.

I'd like to be able to do em - but I tore my left rotator cuff about 3 years ago and it's been screwed up ever since. I trained back yesterday and it was fine, until I started a set of BTN pulldowns after 5 sets of pullups. Two reps, and my cuff started to feel real tight and painful. Wide hammer grip pulldowns caused no pain whatsoever though.

BTN pullups are great, but are no supstitute for regular pullups. The work the muscle in different ways and are both effective exercises. I would still do both.

By the way, if you havent tried this already, do it: HAMMER GRIP PULLUPS

Yep, I also do hammer grip pull-ups all the time. In answer to datruob, BTN (behind the neck) pull-ups are basically just regular pull ups, but instead of pulling your chest to the bar, you pull your head under the bar. I'm fully aware that my description prolly sucks, so here.

Whats up guys, I notice quite a few people from the "old" hangout.

Anyways, BTN chins are great... however, right now my favorite lat exercise has to be my hammer grip chins.

Amazing how much harder a btn chin is than a btn pullup, isn't it? I was using a 55lb. dumbbell for reps with btn pullups, but when I switched to btn chins, I was back at bodyweight reps again... for several weeks. I'm only using 10 additional pounds for them right now.. but I feel them a lot more in my lats.

Just like a chinup... palms facing you, but you pull up until the back of your neck (or top of your traps), hit the bar. I do them with a thumbless grip because it puts a little less strain on the ole wrists that way. These are by far the most difficult variation of chins/pullups, but very effective, in my opinion.
