Chin-up
Target: biceps, lats (sides of back)

Use an under-hand grip to make your biceps work hard. Your back muscles will aid this multi-joint move

Chin-up
  • Grab the bar with an under-hand grip, shoulder-width apart.
  • Cross your legs behind you and try not to swing during the move.
  • Pull up until your chin is over the bar.
  • Tense your biceps hard at the top of the move.
  • Lower slowly until your arms are fully extended.

Variation: Hammer grip chin-up

Place greater emphasis on your brachialis and brachioradialis by using a neutral grip.
 

Variation: Weighted chin-up

If you find chin-ups easy, wear a weight belt to ensure that you reach failure within your chosen rep range.
 

Variation: Negative chin-up

If you find chin-ups difficult, use a bench to help you into the 'up' position and then lower yourself as slowly as you can.
