Exercise 77 – Wide-Grip Chin-Ups
Target Area(s): Back, arms and abdominal muscles.
Large muscles of the mid-back. When properly trained they give the back a nice
V shape, making the waist appear smaller. Exercise examples include pull-up
and chin variations and Lat Pulls downs with cable machine.
Equipment: High Bar
INSTRUCTION
• On a high bar, adapt a wide overhand grip (thumbs inward), arms extended.
• Breathe out as you pull up towards the bar, keeping your body upright
until your chin reaches the bar, hold briefly then lower, breathing in as you
lower.
• Your grip should be wide enough to maintain the focus on the back muscles.
• Change width of hand grip for variation in future training sessions
as you become stronger.
