Chinup

Using a supinated grip (palms facing your body) with your hands narrower than shoulder width, start in a complete hanging position under a fixed bar. Drive your elbows down and back to raise your body until your chin is above the bar. Chinups target shoulder extension on the sagittal plane.

Whether you need assistance to complete them or not, chinups are one exercise that should be included in your training.

TIP: Use an assisted chinup machine, a heavy-duty rubber band, or even a bench under your feet for assistance if you are unable to complete the prescribed number of repetitions.
