Chin Ups

One of the all time great exercise. Still a great way to prove a power to weight ratio in strength. The major muscles used here are the lats, biceps and Brachioradialis ( forearm).There are many different variations to do this exercise and different positions will change the emphasis on the muscles used. Shown here is the traditional wide grip chin up, this variation put the emphasis on the lats. The alternate photos are of the closed grip chin up. This put more emphasis on the biceps.

	Start with your arms wider then shoulder width apart. Palms facing away from your face. Lower body into a hanging position, arms straight.
Pull body up towards the bar. Contract abs and keep back in a neutral position (normal position)
	The top of this movement should have bar at your chin level. Lower back into hanging position. It is important to keep control of this movement and do not allow your body to swing.
