  I HEARD ONLY in other forums that you can use curl grip(Palms facing you, knuckles facing out)to pull yourself up.
  
  Just to verify
  
  True?

  if u're talking bout ippt, u can use palm face in or face out or even alternate (i.e. one palm face in, the other face out)..
  
  it doesnt matter, as long as u pull urself up with ur arms without jumping and must hang fully from the bar..

  don't think so. Dips involve the triceps and pectorals(like pushups), while chin ups need lats, biceps and forearm muscles.

  if you got times, just hang/hold on a bar for 30 mins as as long as you can, this actually help.

  Depends if you use forward or backward grip?
  
  If I'm not wrong, backward grip should involve triceps and pectorals?

  no..
  
  Triceps and pecs in chins/pullups are just stabilizers, not the primary muscles worked.
  
  Biceps, lats, forearms, shoulders are the ones being worked.

  Can you do push-ups?
  
  I don't believe a person can do 10 push-ups and yet not manage 1 backward grip pull up.

  ahaha, my PS now making everyone pull b4 every meal
  But SAF trainin uses shoulder shrugs for training. Pull ups has 2 stages, the start and the actual pull
  
  The start uses the back muscles n the pull uses the upper arm. Upper arm easy, train biceps n triceps. Back muscles [which is the problem most of the time] u need 2 do shoulder shrugs. Hang from the bar and shrug 10 times. Plus, lose weight, that helps 2

  You are wrong pal!
  Previously I could do 50 push ups at one go but can't pull a single pull up!!
  Then I went to gym and pulled weights with upper torso, till I progress till I could do 8 pull ups.

  did you try the back grip pull up?
  
  I think many shun away from the back grip cos it is deem inferior to the forward grip.

  Strengthening the chest and triceps will definitely help you in your chin up though these muscles arent directly targeted during the movement.
  
  To improve chin up,do more chin up!

  I was even more pathetic in the past.I weighed around 70kg and couldnt do a single supinated(palms facing) chin up.
  
  Now I weigh close to 90kg and knock out 10 pronated(palms away) chin ups

  pull up has nothing to do with push-up
  
  although many will say it help
  but it wun guarantee u one pull up if u oni train with push up
  
  coz last time me also can do push up but still zero fighter
  the one pull up is jump one lor
  
  but maybe if u can do diamond push up
  maybe can also do pull up
  coz i rem last time i cant do diamond push up one
