Hi everyone - how are you guys today?
I am doing pullups at the moment in my routine but i tend to feel it more in my biceps. Yes - i know that the biceps do help a lot with the actual pullup movement - but i feel it too much i think in my arms rather than my lats.
I go with a grip about a shoulder witdth apart at the moment with palms facing away.
Thanks guys.
Any tips or tricks would be great. |

Put your thumbs over the bar.
Pull your elbows though the movement.

Try a variety of grips, palms facing towards you, away, wide grip, narrow, but the best advice is to keep cranking them out--see how many reps you can do-I love pullups they are a great exercise.

try gripping wider and really squeeze up at the top. That top squeeze i really feel stresses my lats

Thanks for the quick responses guys.
I do like them too, great exercise, i just tend to feel it more in the bicep.
I already do thumb over the bar and try to squeeze at the top with my lats.
I dont know if im being paranoid or making too much of feeling it in my biceps but, you know, i just want to make sure my lats are being worked as much as possible.

all good answers above. first work on focusing on the lats and then once you get that down add weight gradually and they can be a great addition to your workouts for back.
