They easier
Seem too many people fasely label them as pullups. They are a great bicep exercise though.
Who cares if they are easier? Once you can do 10 you should be adding weight to them anyway. If chins are easier, just add more weight to stay in the desired rep range. I'm not understanding the logic of the shade thrown at chinups.
In fact, when I do chin ups I feel a much stronger contraction in my lats than when I do pronated pull ups. That may just be a 'me' thing but nonetheless its true.
THIS thread had a video of someone doing pronated pull ups so I agree that no one should be posting neutral grip or chin up videos and claiming a certain number. But in absolutely no way are they are an inferior exercise.
