Similar to the Pull-Up but using a supinated grip (palms in). For the Chin-Up, find a bar that is raised about a foot above your maximum reach. This allows you to exercise the full range of motion without hitting the surface of the ground. For good form, grip the bar with your hands a little wider than your shoulders and go into a dead hang. From here, tense your abdominal muscles and pull your body to the bar while keeping your legs straight. Once your chin is above the bar, lower yourself back into a dead hang. Repeat this motion till muscle failure and then do one more!
This exercise focuses on the flexor muscles of the forearms and arms, as well as the latisimus dorsi muscles to bring the arm to your torso. As opposed to the Standard Pull-Up, this exercise puts a little more emphasis on the biceps and brachialis muscles of the arms. Muscles of the back, shoulder, neck, and abdomen must also be used to provide structure to the exercise.
