Pull body up with underhand grip
How to Perform Chin-ups
- 1Stand facing a pull-up bar set at a height where you can grip it with straight arms, feet shoulder-width apart.
- 2Grip the bar with an underhand (supinated) grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width, palms facing you.
- 3Hang fully with arms extended straight, shoulders relaxed, core engaged, and feet off the ground (or crossed behind you).
- 4Inhale deeply, then exhale as you pull your chest toward the bar by driving elbows down and back, squeezing your shoulder blades.
- 5Continue pulling until your chin clears the bar, keeping your body straight without swinging.
- 6Inhale as you slowly lower yourself back to the full hang position with control.
- 7Repeat for desired reps, maintaining steady breathing throughout.
- 8Key form tips: Keep your core tight and avoid kipping or momentum—use a full range of motion. Common mistakes: Shrugging shoulders up, incomplete reps, or flaring elbows out.
