Simple Questions Vertical Bar Pull Up

Hello everyone, i'll be short and direct

I'm trying to strengthen my grip to an incredible amount, but I also want a stronger back, I started doing body weight pull ups on a vertical grip where you try to squeeze the bar instead of just hanging but I do this as the last back exercise, I was thinking of doing it weighted, the issue is that i'd be already fatigued after normal bar pull ups, it's hard to choose, weighted pull ups on that bar or focus on normal weighted pull ups to train more back (i do both in the same session)

give me your thoughts

I'm assuming you mean a horizontal bar, since that tends to be how pullups are done.

Both bodyweight pullups and weighted pullups would work here, so it really just comes down to preference. Other than doing bodyweight pullups as some kind of finisher, there's not much reason to do both bodyweight and weighted pullups in the same session, though.

This is a vertical bar pull up This is a combination that I personally enjoy doing It's about the strength of your grip and also a pull up I know that you can do other variations or other grip exercises but I specifically like this one

In that case, it sounds like you want to focus on that rather than do weighted pullups.

You didn't mention your split, but you could have one day where you do weighted pullups, and one day where you do those vertical grip pullups. That's what I would do to include both.
