Chin up
Biceps, backAbout
Chin-up is the motion of raising the upper body with the strength of the back and biceps. Depending on how you hold the handle, it is called Pull-up when the palm is facing out, and Chin-up when it is facing inside!
How to Chin up
Starting Position
1. Please hold the bar with your palms facing your body.
2. Please grip the bar at shoulder-width.
3. Please open your chest so that your shoulders do not hunch.
Proper Form
1. Engage your arms and lift up so that your chest is facing forward.
2. Slowly return to the starting position.
Breathing Technique
Exhale when pulling your arms, and inhale when extending your arms.
Precautions
1. Move slowly so that your body does not sway due to momentum, and keep your shoulders fixed so they do not shrug upward.
2. Engage your abs so that your lower back does not overarch, and if you feel pain in your elbows or the front of your shoulders, use an assist band.

I think I've been using PlanFit for about a year now, and I feel like my shoulders have widened, and although it was a bit loose, they have definitely grown, and I can see biceps that I never imagined before... I like the recommendations, time tracking, records, and community, so I plan to keep at it consistently! In fact, I think the key to body growth is to keep doing what suits your body rather than just relying on the app. That'sโฆ
