Close Grip Chin Up
Thick backAbout
It can help the lower back muscles and biceps muscles, and it is easier than pull-up. Please do not bend over, but raise your chest. The narrower the grip is, the better it targets the back!
How to Close Grip Chin Up
Starting Position
1. Please grip the bar narrower than shoulder width.
2. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and open your chest.
Proper Form
1. Please pull your arms back until your chest touches the bar.
2. While bringing your shoulder blades together, naturally pull your arms back.
3. Slowly return to the starting position with your chest relaxed.
Breathing Technique
Exhale when pulling your arms, and inhale when extending your arms.
Precautions
1. Please be careful not to lose your starting position when you come down.
2. Please go up using the strength of your shoulder blades, not your arms.
