I love pull ups and chin ups. With my low weight I rock that shit yo.
start dangling a weight off yourself, go 5kg then 10kg then 20kg then 30kg and still try for the 6-10 rep range. Either buy a proper belt for it (with a chain) or just use a strong piece of cord and tie it round your waist + the weight. I can do 10 right now. Once I hit 15 I'll start doing weighted pull ups/chin ups. I found that I had diminishing returns on bodyweight chins. Started taking me months to add reps. I'd start weighting sooner. For me, personally, my chins started improving much faster on higher weight/intensity than they did on higher volume.
Alright, I'll do it as soon as I stop improving or when I hit 15, whatever happens first. Right now I can pretty much add 1 to my max every time I do them which is once a week for the pull up and chin up. Today I hit 11 for my chin ups for instance. So I am pretty close to 15 anyway. I finally benched 50 kg today, after failing twice. It was astoundly simple.. I mean the very last rep was difficult yes, but they have been harder. And I lost my balance on the squat rofl. I fell and felt like an idiot. I just stopped because I couldn't do 70 kg's past parralel anyway.
I'm thinking about deloading a bit because I've realized I haven't been going past parralel. I've been doing parralel thinking that was good, but you need to go slightly past parralel. How much should I deload? My squat is at 70 kg's right now(155 lb's)

I know that this is kind of off topic about the chins, but the way that I improved my chin ups and pull ups is by doing bent over rows, specifically with dumbbells since there are no barbells I can use. Pretty good for increasing back strength, and there are tons of ways to increase the difficulty without increasing the weight (stand on one leg, do alternating rows, decrease speed, etc.) that can help with your chin ups.
I went from 9 pull ups to 13 without doing a single pull up in months, and I don't even train with the consistency I should  Increasing the weight on pull ups does seem to be more rewarding though, not going to lie.

Dang, you made it to two plates?

Two plates o_O that's impressive. I am still struggling on going up from 30 lbs.. And I can't even imagine what 3x that weight would feel like
|
Lol I'm feeling super motivated to focus on weighted chins again, been working on back lever instead for the moment.
|
40kg? That's pretty fucking impressive. Never got very far in weighted pull ups. My bodyweight pull ups are pretty awful. used to be able to do around 20 at 90kg bw and now i can barely do 10 at 103kg. always too tired to do them after oly lifting  need to be less lazy

if you call yourself lazy decaf, I don't know what most of us are

Chin-ups and pull-ups not the same when it comes to weighted imo. I could do 60lb maybe for a rep or two pull-ups but max chin-ups was 75lb when I tried to find a one rep max back in December.

Ah shit. For a minute that made no sense. Then I realized I was misnaming the exercises, my chin up was your pull up haha.

Lol, chin ups is with the supinated group and pull ups with the prone group.

That's how I'd always called them, but then I've got an anatomy book which calls prone "chi-ups" and supine "reverse chin-ups". Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a standard.

Really? Starting Strength goes with the classification method I go with, and that's what most of the people I know call them (including the personal trainers and gym coaches I talk to). Kind of weird that an anatomy book would call them "reverse chin-ups" to begin with, especially since pull-ups is a widely accepted term, lol.

Although I doubt I could do 3 plates right now, haha.

I call the one on the left wide grip pullups and the one on the right standard pullups . God damn this terminology is confusing. I would be seriously impressed if someone can do wide grip pullups with 40kg weight for reps!!!!
