thread_title: Deletion nomination

message: I would like to make a formal request to add my website to the external links section of this page. I wouldn't like to add it myself, but I would prefer that someone else review the website, and make the decision to add it. It shows how to make a homemade pullup bar without drilling any holes. --Sugarskane 03:55, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Request for external link addition

message: * For those who can't pull off a entire chinup but are not far away from it, negitive chinups might be a good idea. The idea is to stand on a chair and start from the top, and in a controlled fashion lower yourself down. Obviously you'll need enough strength to not just drop straight down and damage yourself.
* Chinups are relatively safe as far as I've read/experienced. The most damage I've done is by dropping and locking the elbows out while attempting to do them in a hurry.
* Might be worth commenting on how many is many. A perfect marine PFT score is 20, time unlimited. I've read more than once that the average for females is 0 - curiously in the marine PFT women don't do chinups at all. FjVwxII1 20:52, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  My experiences, which may or may not be worth something: 

message: I restored the distinction between "chin-up" and "pull-up" because in my experience many (if not most) published sources that mention both terms make this distinction. --Muchness 00:26, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that this is a good idea. But one should note that of the three linked sources, one is not reachable, one only describes how to build a chin/pull-up bar and one, the venerable exrx-site, describes chin-ups as done with a overhand (pronated) grip (which they use for pull-ups also). I am note sure if this is helpful. Tierlieb 11:41, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ok there are serious problems here with the descriptions of pull ups vs chin ups and the supporting links. Link 1 shows a person with the palms of his hands facing away from him (you can see his thumbs to give you reference), which is what I always believed to be a chin up but is contrary to what the article says.  Link 3 has a video that is titles as describing someone who is doing a pull-up but the video shows a person with his palms facing him, but the article has this defined as a chin-up. Can someone provide a link that shows the entymology of the words chin-up and pull-up? I was taught that a chin-up (palms facing away) is named such because at the climax of the rep your chin is just barely above the bar.  But I would just like some links that actually support what is said in the article either way.  The references and the article should not be in disagreement.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.244.152.96 (talk) 17:21, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm alright with identifying that this distinction exists for some people, but I think we should merge these articles. They are essentially the same exercises but for the difference in pro/supi nation and its resulting influence on elbow flexors and tendency to ab/ad duct and medi/later ally rotate in the shoulder. If you take note of the external links, ExRx actually shows a supinated "pull up" grip for the chin up, showing a very well established source doesn't do this. If we look at the construction, they're all pull ups, and a chin up is a variation where the chin touches the bar. A sternum-up would be when the sternum touches it. In between the two, when the chin passes over top of the bar, would be a neck-up. Variations like mouth/nose/eye/brow/hair ups could be invented in a completely arbitrary way. Basically, chinning involves pulling up and one can get one's chin over the bar with a supinated grip too, so making this distinction is senseless. It should merely be a small note in terminology used in slang. Much like some might use "leg curl" rather than "knee curl." Dictabeard (talk) 07:22, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

text: I agree this distinction does not make much sense to me. It does not seem very common; It is not a ubiquitous definition. Also note that both articles have a majority of examples with palms facing away from chest. In other words, in this article this definition of a chin-up is violated. I'm not a huge wikipedia editor, have never merged an article but I might take a shot at it next time I'm here. I see a few sources citing this difference but it doesn't even seem to make sense etymologically. Perhaps Pull-Up should be the main article and Chin-Up should be a stub that just says, "sometimes refers to an underhand pullup. Otherwise is another word for Pull-Up"216.55.28.118 (talk) 22:07, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

message: I want to note here that a new editor has created a separate article for pull-ups and narrowed the scope of this article. There doesn't seem to be a consensus for having either one or two articles, but interested editors may want to review the changes. Melchoir 18:18, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: merge with the pull up article

message: It says that the exercise can be made harder with a weight belt, yet includes a picture of a lifting belt, a wholly different item.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.146.139.145 (talk) 13:51, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The man depicted in the four drawings near the end of the article is doing pull-ups, not chin-ups. I'd change it but I don't feel like it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.22.244.212 (talk) 19:42, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  The guy in the diagram is doing pull-ups. 

message: It appears that everyone agrees this article should be merged into the Pull-up article.  Now, how do we get someone to do it? 
By the way, I would vote for "Pull-up/Chin-up" as the name of the article. Zipzip50 (talk) 07:10, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
