I had a go at hanging one-armed the other day and had the whole twist thing happening big time. Both hands. I was a bit fatigued (just dead-hung for 2mins stretching) to keep experimenting, but even now standing, palms up I can feel a slight resistance to having a would-be underhand grip if chinning (ie palms horizontal). I've only ever done pullups, not chins for a start. And haven't done a curl of sorts for about 5 years.
Wondering if there are a few simple things to strengthen that movement if I was to get more serious with OACs. I am not sure if it is a weakness or dominance with a bicep head, forearm, wrist, shoulder or what. Arnold curls perhaps ? (not sure their proper name but back in the days I remember reading he curled then gave a twist to add a peak to the bicep - bodybuilders!!?). Don't know.
