I'm the same way. I keep adding reps to my "palms-in and wide grip palms-out" pullups. I guess the benefit would be when I'm really struggling up a big hill, I can always stop the pain by ripping the handle bar off the bike.
My core resistance program also has me doing various kinds pushups using a stability ball and uneven hand heights while holding a rocker board or weighted balls.
