so, I do alot of pull ups, it's my main upper body exercise.
my question is thus: is there an ideal placement for my hands? How would bringing them closer or placing them farther apart affect the muscles?
I've tried recently placing them at the very edges of my pull up bar, and I feel as if it's working out the muscles a bit harder.
Any thoughts?

If you move your hands away from each other, it works the outer chest muscle, while moving them closer works the inner chest.

then might it be a good idea to switch it up? Like, do one set far apart, then the next set close together?

also, what's a good target amount of pull ups to do in a day? In a set?

If you can do more than 15 or so, start adding weight to it.

Yea. You could start earlier than that, but that's a good starting point.

wider grip is great if you can get the form right, ir works a much broader area of your back and a more comprehensive burn in general. Arnie reckoned the wider the better, and he was buff as fuck.
