Wide Chin-Up

Expert Advice

Focus on pulling with your back muscles rather than just your arms to fully engage the targeted muscle groups.

Grip a chin-up bar with a wide grip, palms facing towards you.
Hang from the bar with your arms fully extended.
Pull your body up until your chin is above the bar, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
Slowly lower yourself back to the starting position with control.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
