I sometimes do this to warm up for real pull ups.

If I understand correctly what you are talking about, I love to throw them in from time to time in my higher rep days.

We call them fat-boy pull-ups around here. I prefer to do them on a smith machiene because I can adjust it for my height better. Hard as hell to do these sometimes.

You can also do them with a strong peice of rope tied to something. The rope hanging vertical that is.
