How to Do Chin Up

Form Cues

1. 1

   Supinated grip shoulder width, full dead hang to start

2. 2

   Drive elbows to hips, chin over bar

3. 3

   Keep your body relatively still, avoiding excessive swinging as you pull

4. 4

   Lower with control all the way to a full hang before the next rep

Common Mistakes

• ●

  Not achieving full extension at the bottom — the stretch at the bottom builds lat length

• ●

  Kipping or swinging to gain momentum — strict reps build more real strength

• ●

  Stopping short of chin over the bar — the top position is where the full contraction happens
