Someone should do up a pie chart and see how much everyone is contributing.

To those that say pullups lead to arm size gain, can I assume u all use supinated/palm facing u, or hammer/neutral grip?

Have any of u truly experienced it, or just say because everyone else says so?

Uncle chay, u are a big supporter of it right? If u could still remember, last time when u do hor, how much u experienced?

Hahaha anw, cos I've been doing pullups for the longest time, never did notice my arms getting swole hahaha.

I do only using overhand coz I feel that's the only one worth doing.

Having monkey-long arms and weighing close to 100kg, doing just BW reps will elicit some response from my upper body, including arms.

Did 12x6 with the tactical grip, arms were so pumped up from the sheer volume. Forearms especially so from the extra work in gripping.

I find that if you wrap your thumb around the bar, you will feel it more in your biceps.

I meant regardless of the grip.

btw, FWIW, I've been doing neutral and underarm without wrapping my thumb around the bar. Don't feel it as much in my biceps than in my back.

Have read somewhere (was it Benz80?) that thumbless-grip helps to engage more of back.
So your observation (of the opposite) is consistent.

Yes, no thumbs -> more back and forearms -> grip exhausts earlier -> less reps/weight used.

Underhand grip -> more biceps -> more reps/weight used.

Depends on what one wants to achieve.
