Subject: Chin ups

Question
Hi,
I am 16, and really have looked but can't find out a whole lot. I can do 22 strict form chin ups, and am a natural at chins and pull ups I feel. I am thin and not very built.

So in short, I want to be the best in the world at chin ups. I need some specific advice on how I do this. I don't care about all the records like chin ups in an hour or 30 minutes, but consecutive chin ups and chins in under a minute. How do I make sure I am training for this quickness instead of endurance? How many other exercises should I do instead of stuff at the chin up bar? Like strengthening my back, shoulders, and wrists. Do I just go out three times per day, every day, and kill myself at the chin up bar, or is it quality over quantity? I need some specific advice.
Thanks a heap,
Jared

Answer
I would suggest doing some weighted pull ups one day and speed pullups with just your bodyweight the other day of the week.  Keep the 2 days with one to 2 days apart from each other.  You also train your back with some heavy barbell or dumbell rows as well.  

Mike
