For pull-ups, use a grip that allows the wrist to rotate naturally. That's why.

Most people stop doing high-frequency pull-ups because of elbow injuries. Sometimes the problem is the shoulder. In any case, the culprit is the same: pulling the chin off the fixed bar or (more troublesome).

When you pull a vertical plane, your wrist will naturally rotate. The degree to which they rotate depends on your bone structure and the fluidity of soft tissues. In any case, your wrist will never want to be locked in this practice position. This is easy to verify. Do a 3-rep pull-up, from the ring to the maximum, and pay attention to your wrist-they will never fully control their pronation.

If the wrist cannot rotate naturally, the pressure will directly enter the elbow, causing pain and inflammation. Then Shoulder will join the Pain Party. If you observe the movement of a person's shoulders when pulling from a fixed pole, it looks as if he started pulling from a ring. But when the wrist can't rotate, the biomechanics changes little. You may not see the difference, but when the potential dysfunction is like shoulder pain, you will eventually feel it.

Settle for second best.

Now, if you can't use rings, TRX belts or rotating handles, the next best choice is to use neutral handles for pull-ups. The hammer handle (palm opposite) is the easiest at the elbow. The fattening handle will put extra pressure on the elbow.
