[fqqs]

what do you think of doing standard pullups but with revolving handles? my school gym has only this kind of pullup bar where handles rotate. what about thumbless grip then?

Pullups are a great exercise no matter what kind of handles you use.

just make sure to really warm up your shoulders before hand - or the movement of the handels can mess with your rotator cuff - but warmed up it shouldn't be a problem

I'd use them. Looks like they would possibly allow for a more natural/stronger position. Just start light as with any new exercise.
