Pull-ups with V-Bar Handle

[Phineas]

I've seen people doing pull-ups with v-bar handles (the rowing attachment used in close-grip barbell rows) placed over top of the bar. How does this change the traditional pull-up?

I'm surprised no one has replied yet, considering this is regarding pull ups.

its funny that this thread went unnoticed



doing this moves your grip in quite a bit (narrower)
it neutralizes your grip (palms facing each other)

i would suspect you would use far more bicep, than pronated grip, and virtually no rear deltoids as apposed to pronated grip

should focus mainly on lats, and biceps (as with any pullup) while eliminating alot of rear deltoid action

Mass more range of motion. Mass.

Easier on the RC, too. I love those, alternating your head side to side, those ones right? Very comfortable grip for me.
