pullups vs chinups

whats the difference>? (if any)

I do wide grip to widen my lats and close grip to hit my biceps and lats. They all hit different angles, just pull with your lats and you will feel which part gets hit. But seriously, a wide grip pull up (as wide as you can go) done properly will add serious mass to your lats.

The difference is the grip. Chinups use a supinated grip (palms facing chest), pullups pronated.
