I prefer to have trainees perform chin ups (supinated grip) to pull ups (pronated grip) since this puts the biceps in a stronger position making the upper arm less of a “weak link” in the exercise.

The grip is roughly shoulder width – too much closer or wider and you start to lose some range of motion – and the torso is angled back so the arms are about 20 to 30 degrees off the body in the starting position.
