Re: Lat pulldowns or wide grip chins?
the ones which provide greatest lat stimulation

may sound a tw4tty answer but if you cant do chins in the rep ranges needed to grow, they wont grow, if you dont get the form right on pull downs, again you reccruti less of the lats

answer?

the exercise which allows for maximum lat recruitment in the rep range the lats hypertrophy off

for some that = chins, others lat pull down

i have seen horrible tecnhique on both TBH

Re: Lat pulldowns or wide grip chins?
Too wide on the chins will limit lat stimulation.

Just wider than shoulder width, on a straight bar, (hate those ones that curve, ), gets my vote.

Re: Lat pulldowns or wide grip chins?
it would tottally depend on the indavidual, if they couldnt lift there body weight for reps then chins are usless, both use the same muscles so just find whats best 4 u

Re: Lat pulldowns or wide grip chins?
chins as above-although i do mines to back of neck-once you can do 12s put plate or dumbell round waist,up to 20k now, this works for me.having said that know guys who dont do chins but use machine so whatever is preferable,chins better imho

Intresting replies so far guys. I agree with ah obviously. Would you also use the underhand grip aswell even though it don't hit the lats in the same way.

Yeah once every 3 or so weeks i change grips around etc. Dont stick to one method rigidly, keep your muscles guessing.
