Chin-ups (underhand pullups)

http://www.scoobysworkshop.com/homeWorkoutIntro.htm

In this video I'm going to show you how to do chinups, also called underhand grip pullups. When you do these, your palms are toward your face. These are a great exercise for many reasons.

When you do chin ups, its not just your lats doing the work, its your biceps too. This has a lot of advantages. If you are a beginner who cant do an overhand grip pullup, then do chin ups untill you are strong enough to do pullups. The other great use of chin ups is a way to work your biceps when you dont have any weights available to you, because you are on vacation or because you simply cant afford them. You can get an amazing whole bodyworkout without any weights at all: pushups, pullups, chin ups, crunches, hanging windshield wipers, and walking lunges. A killer workout at vacation or at home.

Now lets talk about form, first of all, I HATE the name "chin ups". The reason is that it puts people in the horrible mindset that they have to get their chin up above the bar. Dont try to get your chin above the bar, that causes people to do crazy and dangerous things. They kick, swing, and crane their neck like a turtle, or dislocate their neck attempting to get their chin above the bar. Just go as high as you can.

Use slow form, this is the right speed about 2s up and 2s down

Go up as high as you can but dont worry about getting chin above bar

When you go down, dont hang and relax. Dont let shoulders move up toward ears

ive found that chin ups/pull ups are just as, if not more beneficial than bicep curls.

@AK33M Sigh... It depends what you are trying to work out: lats or biceps...

[jcbhodge]

@AK33M pull ups for lats AND CHIN UPS FOR BICEPS so more of a bicep workout do chin ups or if your doing more of  lats do pull ups but pull ups are harder
