Chin ups versus pull ups

Startling discovery of the day: For most people, chin ups are WAY easier than pull ups, and also work your biceps and lats, while being less psychologically discouraging because you're so freaking bad at them.

Differences:
Chin ups: palms face towards you, hands shoulder-width apart. Use more bicep strength vs lat
Pull ups: palms face away from you, hands wider than shoulder-width. Use more lat than bicep strength

I'm gonna switch to hanging from chin-up position to work my lats till my back gets stronger!
