Targets: Lats

About

It is recommended for those who find pull-up too easy. Be careful of injuries and go up so that your chest touches the bar!

How to Weighted Chin Up

Starting Position

1. Please attach a weight that suits you to your waist.

2. Please grip the bar at shoulder width.

3. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and lift 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 rise using the strength of your shoulder blades, not your arms.
