Chin Ups
When you want a workout for muscle mass in the lats, you would be hard pressed to find something
that can trump the basic chin up. You may call them pullups, pull
ups, or whatever, but it's all the same thing- the bar doesn't
move—YOU move.
Now, you may be thinking
that the lat pull down is the exact same thing, and yes, the motion
is quite similar. However, for whatever reason, chin ups seem to
offer a more effective mass building routine than lat pull downs.
There's some science behind it, but the important thing is that you
are better off with a stationary pull up bar.
Here's another advantage-
you probably won't have to compete with a lot of other people at the
gym to use the chin up bar. Since most people are going to be
sticking to either free weights or machines, there's not a whole lot
of demand for this lonely little bar anymore.
