Multi Grip Chin up Bar or Straight Chin Up bars?

What's you preferred chin up bar? Straight or the Multi grip variety?

I have never used a multi grip bar. I have only used a straight bar or a chin up bar that kicks down like a lat pull down attachment.

For those that have the multigrips chin up bars do you use the variety of grips available?


Cheers

l've got a multi grip sitting on top of my rack and l only use the straigtht part and the vertical bar. Straight bar for stock standard pull / chin ups than l'll use the vertical part for L-Sit hammer grip chinups, it just seems to feel better than the traditional straight bar. Having said that l think l prefer rings the most not that you were asking that.....

I mix it up a bit but if it was for home, could be an unnecessary expense I guess. You can still have a choice of grips with a flat bar. I don't really see the hammer type grip offering anything over the other grips. If you really want to incorporate the forearms, use a towel or a rope from the tri-pushdowns and work 90 degrees to the bar. Can also use a V bar like you'd use for t bar rows if you wanted a hammer grip. Just improvise with what you've got

This grip / and this _ and this is handy too l

Yes to many grips!!
I've only really used the straight bar and sometimes hang the handle from seated rows over the bar. Does me fine.
Just wasn't sure if I was missing out on something with all these racks coming out with multi grips.
Think I will keep it simple. Like myself

I have a set of olympic rings, basically all the chin/pull up bars covered and a decent amount of difficulty added

I've never tried the rings...I will have to look into it to see how to set them up.

A cable station at the gym has those multiple grips up top (see below).

I only do wide grip pullups, never chins cos chinups are for bros workn' dem broceps.

I much prefer the top outer grips slightly angled down (or up, depending on your point of view) as it makes a much straighter arm/wrist/hand connection. No wrist worries there. I use the other handles for stretches only. The innermost grips give a narrow grip which is great for stretching lats. Just hang there for a minute, full stretch. I dare you.

Wider grips are great for opening out the shoulders and shoulder joint. You can use neutral grip, pronate or supinate. Lots of options there.
