also, this might be brosciency, but the more upright/vertical i can keep my torso during a pull-up, the more lat involvement. leaning back and bringing the hips forward, the way most people do it, engages my arms more. that's true at least by feel.

Not broscience imo. One way is more like a chin up, the other is closer to a row which has different muscle involvements.

So what would be a good example of a chin-up with roughly equal bicep and lat stimulation? A wider grip? I like the chin-up bc I can feel my lower abs contract really hard transitioning from down to up. Would pull-ups or chin-ups on rings be roughly equal in muscle stimulation?

 Grip doesnt matter as much as how you pull.  Try touching your elbows together behind your back.  Next bring your wrist to your shoulder.  The more your pull/chin is like the first one, the more "back" youre going to target.  The closer it is to the second one, the more bicep.

I just tried that recommendation, I can feel the difference. I think the way you decribed for back is also the way Hannibal for king pulls in his many bw pull-up feats
Goal

windmill consistently/ touch top of the square consistently



weight= 193
height= 6'3 1/2
highest touch= top of the square, which is 11'4

Yea, you will see a similarity there with most those guys who have nutty pulling strength, its always a very "back" dominated pull.
Relax.

I still find it hard keeping torso vertical during chin ups. Well i guess it's alright seeing frank yang's torso aint vertical too. pullups much easier though

Pull your feet under your butt to be more stable.

yeah what raptor said -- tighten the backs of your legs while you're doing them. much stabler.

bring a belt to the gym and put it through the hole in the plate. or through one of the handles if your plates have handles.

even better, if your gym has a belt for the lower back, attach a chain to it and put the chain through the plate

I always use dumbbells... even used a 30 kg dumbbell. I put it between my legs, right under my sack. The dumbbell bar might smell afterwards if you're into that, but otherwise it's all good.

I'm at 87 kg right now. Used a 30 kg dumbbell to see if I can make 1 rep... probably could've gotten about 3 reps though. Can definitely chinup more weight than 117 kg.

dayum 87kg hows your height? i'm only 60 and 87 would look pretty big wouldnt you?
btw created a thread about chin ups being harder than pull ups for me and it's not really in topic so jsut thought I'd start a thread meant for that issue.
