If I remember correctly isn't the new pt standard for chin-ups in the Canadian forces a minimum of 10, I've only read on this post of people doing either 2, 6 or 8. Shouldn't I be starting at 10 and working my way up from there to get a more accurate feel of the chin-ups I will encounter in Bmq?  any replies are appreciated.  Thanks

Chinups are different then pullups. Pullups are palm out and are way harder to do then chinups (palms in)

Chin ups are not always easier to do than pull ups. It depends on the person. I have a very strong back so I do way more pull ups than chin ups. They both involve all the muscles in your upper back but the ratios change for the amount each muscles work.

Bump.  Have you continued this, and has it spurred any growth/strength/endurance gains??

Actually after a week of this I developed major pain in my joints and had to scale it back to twice a week.At the end of the week I was struggling to pump off 10 P.U at a time,and pull-up's were sets of ones.

I had to revamp my work-out plan,as my ankle is fully healed (I tore everything)and I'm back to running.
Here's what I've been following so far this year,it hurts however It's allowing me time to recover better.
