In reply to Carl. I would love to go to a rock gym. Nice job on improvising.

Not long ago I spent the Summer in Alaska in a very remote part, Gustavus. Since there was nothing resembling a gym, I decided to workout with what mother nature provided. There were rocks of all shapes and sizes on the beach, so for that Summer I had a membership to “Rock Gym.” There were also logs involved and straight tree branches for pull ups. I got shredded! No supplements, no iron. Two others in the camp also started working out with me. Good times.

In reply to Alan. In the grand scheme, doesn't really matter. Chins work biceps slightly more but it's not a huge deal.

Legit question: I do pull-ups, is there a good reason I should do chin-ups as well?

In reply to Ashlee. Do what you like and what makes you happy. That simplifies 99% of fitness.

Here’s my “something new” I’m working with: I wanted to look all tough like the Cross-Fit girls on tv, but I’m into good form (real pull-ups, slow & low squats), so Cross-Fit is out. Now, I’m just focusing on really good form and challenging weight for the major compound movements. I also read that I couldn’t build an impressive physique if I did too much “cardio” at the expense of weights, but I really enjoy swimming and do that more than weights. So guess what’s happening? Swimming is really what has given me sculpted shoulders and a more pronounced “V” shape. You are absolutely right – find what works for you, and what you love, and then rock it.

In reply to Keith.

Keith,

I know you can do pullups with a LOT of weight with low reps, but how many strict-form, unweighted pullups can you do?

I’m curious how the heavy lifting correlates to bodyweight exercise capability for you, personally.

This is not a trick question, I promise. ha

In reply to Raza. Yeah it all "works" but of course it depends on your goals too. You can't build substantial amounts of muscle with just p90x or bodyweight stuff.
