Reply With Quotethere is no way to tell how many chin ups you can do compared to your biceps curl. Just go to the bar and start banging them out and see what happens.

Chin Ups
Well i've finally decided that isolation bicep exercises irritate me, so ive decided to get me a chin-up bar. All you guys say thats the way to go for bicep mass, so i'll give it a try.
Just confused about reps/weight etc. Atm, my 1RM for barbell curls is 110lbs, and since with chin-ups youre not lifting weight but yourself instead, how many reps/sets would it translate to? I could add extra weight no problem.
With normal exercises with actual weight on a bar, its easier to work it out, but everything changes with chin-ups so i'm not sure what i should do, if you understand any of this.
I weigh 155 by the way.
Any help on these would be awesome, i need t3h biceps :Phttp://www.getlifting.info

What P said, just start doing them. Good luck. Chins are the leveller in my book. As for reps etc, it depends on your workout. I find they nail me nearly as much as deadlifts so I do them early and generally stick to low reps.
What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)

Yeah, i was gonna do them pretty early, possibly first off. I guess i'll just have to experiment to get the reps right, like you guys say, just get straight to it and see what happens!

I beleive chins and pull ups to be the best exercise you can do to promote growth and development in your upper body in general.
You can use some form of chinning routine to blast almost the entire upper body.Just a regular guy.
