This has probably become my FAVORITE overall back exercise since Layne showed them to me during my contest prep. Here I'm doing 170 for 8 reps and I've really been trying extra hard to slow the eccentric part of the movement down and control my reps. Here's the video:

You can control how much of a pull-up motion you do vs. how much of a rowing motion you do by how far away you set your feet.

I've tried rack chins on a few occassions and never really got into them. What is your opinion of pull-ups vs. rack chins Sporto?

I've never tried Rack Chins before... I def want to though, I think I'll give em a shot once I feel my pull-ups are upto par with the rest of my lifts.

I feel MUCH less bicep recruitment when I do rack chins versus when I do weighted pullups. I realize that my form on weighted pulups could use some work wrt bicep recruitment, but I feel it in my lats more on a rack chin.Originally Posted by Beast
Plus, you could put your feet further away and do an inverted row...that way you could go heavy and not have lower back be an issue
