In a nutshell:

Pull-Ups = when your palms are pronated (overhand grip), facing away from you.



Chin-Ups = when your palms are supinated (underhand grip), facing towards you

My pt taught me last time .. if u cant pull urself up. Just start slowly.

Grip and dont let go.. hang .

Then slowly put a chair . And train slowly. Or ask support.

U need build slowly. No fast way. But after u got foundation. U will never lose it.or easy to regain.

When i first learn i was 70kg.

Now i m 85kg.. chubby. But still can.

If all you want is a nice big back, there's no need to do pull ups.

Your traps don't attach to your humerus at all. It attaches to your clavicle and scapula and mainly performs scapular movements.

Your lats insert on the humerus but to efficiently contract them to their origin at the base of your spine you need to work each side independently.

If u cant pull urself up. The chair is for ur landing and to cheat push.

The reason why i think i like pull up bcoz it engage my shoulder more..while chin up builds triceps more.

Broader shoulder = v ... but it hides ur tummy. Not so obvious too.

Coz u broad shoulder with big tummy.. can lie ma. Haha..at least can fill shirt.

I got no issues with the lower back stuff, but honestly anything where you're holding weight in front of you and bending over will work the erector spinae.

By the way, the colour highlights are completely off.

This is what the erector spinae look like

user posted image

They peek out at the bottom of your back but the whole muscle runs the length of your spine. It keeps your back from rounding and collapsing forward.

The part on the outer edges of the 'lower back' are your lats.

user posted image

They originate at the base of your spine and run the length of either side of your back.

The rest of the exercises listed are ok, but far from ideal to train these muscles efficiently bro.
