One of Tony's goals is to improve the maximum amount of chinups that he can do. Other than some specific modifications to his training, I have also advised him to do one set of pullups to failure every day. The upper back muscles can handle a very high workload because they are used so often in daily life. That is why typically the best way to get your upper back bigger and/or stronger it is important to hit it very hard very often. Tony's max pullups have already gone from 7 when he started to 13 as his current best. This is where he will keep track of his daily progress.

Palm facing grip - not bad; feel like it is easier than wide grip palm facing out...easier on my rotator cuffs also. I guess I like the outward facing grip more since it is a little more challenging. Nice to mix it up for variety though.
