GregP Jun 2023 9:08am, 12 Jun 2023 146,210 posts	Quote Pin GregP Think my PT said the former were easier. The latter feels more intuitive- possibly because I (potentially mistakenly) think it’s an arm exercise predominately

Underhand are chin ups and have less lats and more chest. I’d always thought of them as an easier version but I guess it depends what you’re used to.

Nellers Jun 2023 10:46am, 13 Jun 2023 40,816 posts	Quote Pin Nellers Last night was: pull ups, deadlifts, back squats, bench press, all 5 x 5 getting up to heavy-for-me. Followed that with 20 minutes of thrusters, lunges and sit ups. Covered all (well, most) of the bases I guess.
