ADVANCED
Close-Grip Chinup
Close-Grip Chinup is an effective exercise for building your bicep muscles. Use a supinated grip (palms facing toward you) and use a short range of motion to lift your chin above the bar and slowly lower yourself back down.
Instructions
- Hold the bar with your palms facing your body and spaced three to five inches apart. Let your arms hang extended completely.
- Keeping your shoulders down and away from your ears, pull yourself up until your chest touches the bar. Pause and then slowly lower yourself back to the starting position.
Tips
- Keep your chest up and shoulders back.
- Pull your elbows back so as not to stretch your wrists.
Alternative Exercises
Mixed-Grip Pullup
Mixed-Grip Pullup improves grip strength over other variations, making it a good option for heavily weighted repetitions. Moreover, it works the same muscles as the standard Pull-Up and Chin-Up.
