I’ve got stuff on my mind that’s consuming me, mentally and emotionally (and eventually it’ll spill into physically). So today was nothing but distraction. I’d try to not think about it, but it’s consuming so…. fail.
Just did what I could, but just didn’t feel like cranking through all the reps. Shit happens. This is one of those -10% days.
Stuff From Hsoi 
Have you had any experience with pull-ups with pronated grip?
I’ve regularily done chin-ups with pronated grip and paralell grip with much success, but when I changed up to pronated I got bothered with light biceps tendonitis and shoulder pain.
I’ve had similar experiences. I do pull-ups (pronated grip) and over time things start to get really irritated. If I do chin-ups (supinated grip), not so much. This is why I start doing chin-/pull-ups, start getting better at them, then have to stop — something in the elbows or more often the shoulders start to hate life. I hate it, because I want to get better at chin-/pull-ups.
I have wondered how it would fare if I could use a natural grip. Not necessarily a neutral grip — where palms would face and be parallel to each other, but close. That is, it’s closer to neutral than pronated or supinated, but just the angle where the hands naturally lie. I have wondered how that would fare for me… but I just don’t have the equipment to do it. Long ago I tried using a thick towel…. drape it over stuff, then grip it and pull… maybe I’ll try going back to that again as it might be the trick.
