Gironda Sternum Chins

This strict variation forces a deep lat contraction and targets areas most chin-ups miss. It's tough, but worth mastering.

Instructions

1. Hang from a pull-up bar with an underhand, shoulder-width grip.
2. Lean back slightly, keeping your chest up and core engaged.
3. Pull yourself up while arching your spine and bringing your chest toward the bar.
4. Continue pulling until your sternum touches or nearly touches the bar.
5. Slowly lower yourself to the starting position and repeat.
