    I call them inverted press ups, this is how wide you should go.

    The same width as you would use for bench press/push ups/barbell rows.

    I prefer rack chins to inverted rows, they are similar but with a rack chin your torso is more upright so its more like a proper chin up.

    Just a word of warning (sorry, if its Grandma sucking eggs time again) but be very careful with all this talk of 'explosive' pulling-up. Trust me, such a technique, if performed from a truly full extension with 'slack' shoulders, could easily result in 'Golfer's Elbow', or Rotator Cuff problems, faster than you can say Medial Epicondylitis!

    I do low (2 or 3) rep regular chins/pull-ups and the power is generated by what I can best describe as a rising tension, originating in the back muscles. From smouldering, this rapidly rises to a volcanic eruption of power delivery which inexorably peaks a the top contraction. Sorry about the prose, but I want to emphasise that 'snatching' isn't necessary on strength moves and if you're not comfortable handling 15 or 20 rep movements, where the loading is a lot less, it could result in injury. Remember, tendons take far longer to thicken and strengthen than muscles, which can hypertrophy much quicker. This 'imbalance' can go unnoticed, until injury occurs. The Sermon endeth here!
