Why I typically prefer Chins Ups to Pull Ups (and how to mix with kettlebells)

Posted: November 8, 2024

I remember hanging from the “T” clothesline when I was a little guy - around 3 or 4 - and trying to do a Pull Up, because my neighbor, Todd Hoffman, who was 2 years older than me, could do one. That was the first time. My “love affair” with Pull Ups didn’t really start until the summer between my junior and senior year of high school though. I’d read they were great for building “pulling strength” for wrestling, which was my sport of choice. And I really needed to boost my pulling strength because I’d just gotten my left arm out of a cast after badly breaking it. So, I embarked on Pull Ups of all varieties, especially the wide-grip, behind-the-neck kind, because - Ah-nold! By the time I was a junior in college, I’d gone from 165lbs to over 200lbs, and was still doing 4 sets of 10 reps of behind-the-neck Pull Ups every morning before I showered. That foundation was probably one of the reasons I was able to do the Beast Tamer Challenge. (48kg Single Military Press)
