Strength
Chin-Up
by Jace
The underhand grip lets the biceps join the lats, so most people manage a chin-up before a pull-up.
How to do it
- Grip a solid bar underhand, hands about shoulder width, and hang with the ribs down.
- Start the pull with the shoulder blades, then drive the elbows to your ribs until your chin clears the bar.
- Lower all the way down under control — no dropping, no kipping.
