Chin-Up
Exercise Data
Main Muscle Worked: Biceps
Other Muscles Worked: Forearms, Lats
Equipment: BodyOnly
Mechanics Type: Compound
Tips: Hold the chin-up bar with a reverse grip (palms facing you) with your hands about 6 to 8 inches apart. Pull yourself up and try to touch either your chin or upper chest to the bar. Return slowly to the starting position. Do NOT swing back and forth! Using this grip works more of your biceps than your back or lats.
