What is the chin?

Chin-up is an exercise that can strengthen the Latissimus dorsi muscles, which are commonly referred to as lats-shed, flat muscles on the back. Making chin can add width backwards and also strengthen biceps and other support muscles at the back. Variations of exercises can also help target specific parts of the back. Using supine adhesion, where the palms are facing the body, the exercise is completed by grabbing the rod and lifting the body up until the upper chest is at the bar level. On the other hand, the use of pronounced adhesion, where the palms point from the body, is a pull-up, not the chin. Exercise should be made of dead hanging with arms fully stretched and lifting movement should be done with LATS and not biceps. If the movement is initiated by pushing the shoulder blades to each other ensures that the exercise focuses on LATS and not biceps.

Beginners may need help at the beginning of this exercise. Many gyms have an assisted machine for assisted chin that will take off a certain amount of body weight to make the exercise easiero. The machine should be used to create force in order to proceed to unconditional chin.

You can make any number of sets and repetitions. At the beginning of the fist, one should try as much as possible before rest. Exercise should be repeated until it is impossible to make a single chin. This information can be used as a basic line for deciding how many repetitions and sets should be done.

There are many variations that can be done to work with different muscle ranges and maintain an interesting exercise. Chin-up towel includes wrapping towel around the bar and put the bar on a towel. This can also be done using the TRICES attachments for the cable stretching machine. There are variations that can increase the difficulty of exercise. One variation is the sternal chin: instead of stopping when the upper chest reaches the rod, the exercise continues until the chest bar is at the level of the bar.

chin-onOne hand with one hand includes one hand gripping the rod and pulling only the arm. This is a very advanced technique. To make it easier, it can be done with one hand with holding the rod and the other hand holds the wrist of the arm and grabs the rod. If the exercise becomes too easy, it can wear a weight belt and attaching weight can increase the difficulty.
