| Pull Ups / Chin Ups
1) How often do you do these?
2) What's your preference?
3) How many is the average you can do for each?
4) Gym / Home / Jungle Gym?

1) Just about every workout I do some variety
2) I like underhand because they're easier (so I can load more weight on)
3) I don't know.. I think at my peak I was adding like 10-15KG with a belt and I was over 190 lbs..
4) Gym
That was fun

I do these about once or twice a week. I do BOTH chin/pull ups on the same day on one of those chin up bars that I installed between my doorway. I typically do 4 sets of 8's.

1) a lot, I have a widegrip bar at home just for that purpose.
2) wide grip pullups, i almost never do chinups.
3) I do around 18 widegrip pullups, all the way down and all the way up
4) gym and home
widegrip pullups are the best, works your entire back, gives you huge lats too.

1) I do at least a couple sets of one type or another every day Im in the gym. Even on non-back day.
2) My favorite is Parallel grip. I think underhand works your arms more. Overhand works your back more. Wide really works your back.
3) Lots of all except wide grip. So I do wide grip ones on the lat pull down machine
4) yes/yes/yes.

So me and Jakobi are the only ones who add weight to their chins? Guys you better get your act together, it's a great compound exercise, and it's kind of a waste to always be doing a 20 light weight reps. That is, if your goal is to get big and strong, and not to just be able to do 20 light weight reps.

1, I super set pull ups with chest, cause i do back on that day also. i will usually do pull ups at the start since i find i am dead towards the end
2, overhand, i find this stretches my lats out the best, i might do some underhand for arm day
3, i can do 12 without weight but i can do 50pounds for 4 or 5 if i push it, use to be able to do a lot more but i weight a lot more
4, Gym

|  on the info guys, just wanted to see what the norm was for RS on this.
As for me,
1) I do it every other day or every 2 days, alternating between pull ups and chin ups
2) I prefer chins just cause its less stress on my right shoulder, got to the point of almost dislocating the shoulder 5 years back from a pick up game with huge black guys haha
3) no extra weight added, 16 chins on avg, 11 pull ups if i dont feel my right shoulder giving way.
4) Jungle gym only, iffy on getting a bar at home since the door frame doesnt look like it'll hold.

I do tons of back.
20 wide grips pullups, dynamic pull ups (which are basically exploding up, and letting go of the bar with your hands to catch back on coming down).
Weighted pullups and chins 45lbs plate, deadlifts, bent over rows.
Sick back work out is bamming out wide grip pull ups til exhaustion, and then hitting some cable back rows, going back and forth with 20-30 second breaks in between.

:P Good to see that you're still trying to stay in shape, TracerFX. This is from back when I was still hitting the gym. (Not anymore ever since practices started becoming four times a week for me.)
1) Whenever I hit the gym, that is, usually MWF.
2) Regular-grip pull-ups and close-grip chin-ups, still trying to get enough strength for wide-grip
3) Not much each session, 4x6 pull-ups and/or 4x8 chin-ups unweighted. Weighted pull-up, 20 pounds with the result of 2x5 before my fingers fail me. (Stupidly underweight, that I am.)
4) Gym
