Heard the other day that wide-grip, neutral and narrow don't make any difference to lat development if you're doing pull ups
That’s not true really... in all cases your lats are working for sure but they are not working at the same percentage if you are doing wide or neutral/narrow. Rule of thumb, the wider you go the more your lats are engaged and the least your synergists (biceps, chest) are helping the movement. Also wider grips put less stress on the shoulders which is something to consider.

Some public parks have bars... That's how I get them in at lunch time, anyway.
For hangs I think neutral grip would be ideal but obviously aren't an authority on these things.
Heard the other day that wide-grip, neutral and narrow don't make any difference to lat development if you're doing pull ups, so just stick to shoulder-width.
