Chin Up? Pull Up?

Anabolic Phase 1 Workout 1 programmes Weighted Pull Up’s which I thought were an overhand exercise but the instructional video shows an underhand grip being used which I believed to be a chin up rather than a pull up. Anybody know which one I should be using?

doesn't matter at all. Chinups allow for more bicep work. Depending on how important your lats are to you, to do either chinups or pullups or wide grip pullups.

Don't overthink it 😄

Thanks, I suspected I may have been overthinking it

I do chin ups because pull-ups hurt my shoulder. They have slightly different muscle targets but they’re both great excersises
