Chin-Up
Also called: underhand pull-up, supinated pull-up
No demo clip here — the movement is coached inside the session itself. Every workout in the library is a follow-along.
Coaching cues
- palms facing you, hands about shoulder width
- start from a dead hang
- pull the elbows down and back
- chin clears the bar, then lower with control
Common mistakes
- kicking or kipping to get over the bar
- half reps that never reach a straight-arm hang
- craning the neck to sneak the chin over
- letting the shoulders roll forward at the top
Take care with: shoulder, elbow. Members who list these injuries never see this exercise in a program.
Easier: Band-Assisted Pull-Up
