An article on chinups

[BjsAust]

A year or so ago I read a great article on the benefits of chinups v's lat pulldowns. In particular I recall a great line along the lines of

"If you want the lat lines of a cigarette, keep doing lat pulldowns".

I thought it was from t-nation but cant find it on their search. Anyone know what I'm talking about and where the article is?

i think i know what your talking about but the only thing i could find was this

it has a bunch of pullup variations but not what you were lookin for unfortunately.

Interesting, I hadnt read that one. I found a few others on there that are also great for back exercises, but the one I'm thinking of went more into why pullups/chinups are better than pulldowns. One of those conversations where someone wont believe me [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] he's convinced chinups are for biceps and hardly work the back at all and that the lat pulldown machine is the best answer for back growth.

Out of interest, here was the article, I found it linked on a sticky on the menshealth forums (first time back there when the forums were done since I came here).

Ahh, good to see someone knew what I was talking about [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

Yeah, but it's all for naught if I can't post from home. I only work three days a week. Well, no more whining and h/jing.
