I havent seen these mentioned in any grip articles or posts.
towel chinups
you simply tie one or two towels to a chin up bar and do chinups while holding on to the towel, its freaking sweat.

With a towel wouldn't you pretty much end up with a supinated grip?
It would seem more natural that way to me anyway.
Also, would hammer grip = supinated grip I assume?*No Crew*

Care to elaborate oh mighty one of few words?Originally Posted by Still_Shruggin
What I meant by the first statement is that it would seem more natural for your palms to be facing one another rather than away/towards you. I haven't tried them yet so I can't say but holding my arms up as if I were going to grip towels and do pullups seems like it would end up that way...
Also what would a supinated grip pullup be if it isn't hammer grip?*No Crew*

Supinated = palms towards you
Pronated = Palms away from you.
So, bascally, Supinated = chinup, pronated = pullup
