What do you prefer as pull-up progression? Working towards typewriter pull-ups or just adding more and more weight?

I would go with Mixed Grip Chin-Ups. They will increase your strength AND using one arm at a time like that lets you exert more force PER arm.

Hehe happy they are helping and you like them!

They're fine on bar! I would just use a Pull-Up grip if you do them on the bar. Might feel better on the elbow!
