How do wide grip pull ups, and close grip pull ups differ?
Often times I hear that wide grip pull ups (how wide? shoulder width?) WIDEN the lats, but i've also heard bodybuilding works in opposites. So, that would mean close grip would widen the lats? Kinda confused here.
Also, what is the difference in stimulation regarding over, or underhand grips?
Thanks!

my personal favorite for lat development is wide grip pullups with an overhand grip. i prefer to use the handles on these or use a lat pulldown bar over top of the hammer grip handles.

A more narrow grip works the lower area of the lats.
I prefer either palms over or neutral for training back, as in wider than shoulders palms over (away), more narrow with a neutral (hammer) grip.CSCS, ACSM cPT.
