Pretty much.
You're not doing a nude, are you? It's not that kind of group...
Oh I dunno, I've seen a few penises on there!

Proper grip width pull ups work your back better, chin ups work your biceps more.
Normally people actually put both in as assistance workouts during the week.

Any issues with these? Cheapest ones that are adjustable from what I can see. Only issue is the 'cross fit' in the title xD
Anyone know of/recommend any different ones at a similar price?

Mixing them is good. However pull ups are great for width. And perhaps start with pull ups and finish on chins. Add some weight to be hardcore!

I got the super cheap ones and they are fine, they just lack an adjustment buckle so i have to tie the straps in a knot. Worth the miniscule effort for a £10 saving in my book

Yeah, I saw then, how long are they, and how hard are they to tie up?

To be honest any one able to do bodyweight exercise is considered strong in my book.

How hard is tieing a knot?
Straps are about 2m long, so hang down a meter when tied. I've left mine tied now so i just hook them over the pullup bars.

Pull ups sorts the men from the boys tbh. They are really hard.
Just bought some 97% whey, it must be the worst mixing thing I have ever seen. It makes leucine look soluble. Shake it about, and it just froths up and sits on the top... what a joke!

Shh. If it goes public then everybody will want in.
I've just started out at my local gym again, what would you recommend for toning muscle and losing BMI. Happy with my current weight just chubby and want to be a bit stronger without being massive. Checked through the threads would the beginners routine suit?.
