I discovered this exercise accidentally while doing pullups.
Basically, on a pull up bar, take a slightly narrower than shoulder with underhand grip.
begin the pullup with elbows touching. go up all the way, but come down only until elbows touch.
I have never felt my bicep so stimulated. Do you think this is a dangerous exercise? [/quote]
I always saw Underhand pullups as dangerous/foolish regardless.[/quote]
Please share why?[/quote]
Underhand removes the emphasis from your back and places more stress on your biceps. The ROM i see most use ensures they dont get a decent contraction. I see a lot release tension whenever they get near the top and simply ‘catch’ themself at the bottom, which i see as putting a lot of unnecessary stress on a few tendons. Most turn the movement into a ‘GET my head ABOVE this point and simply stretch my neck and wriggle’. Several other reasons, i mean take your pick.
I just dont see it as a worthwhile exercise. Some may agree with me, some may disagree with more. The world go round…[/quote]
What you have just described is sloppy form! The same can be said for half inch, neck supported supramaximal squats, chest bouncing bench with crazy legs and anteriorly rounded shoulders, humping deadlifts with a rounded lumbar spine etc.

Point was i dont just see them like that now and then, whenever i see someone doing underhand, they suck at it, 100%.
Furthermore, For me, I dont particularly see it as a worthwhile movement. Bis respond better to high volume. Im not going to high rep Chins. Then You take a lot of that stress from the movement and stretch it out over a bunch of secondarys, and being the isolation fan that i am, meh. I mean, If i get the extreme urge to throw some heavier things in there, IMHO, Barbell curls or just good ole Heavy Alternating curls >>> .
But like i said, to each their own.
So, where’s this penis tatoo?

So even if done with good form and controlled resp you still would not be a fan of chinups?
