This challenging chin-up variation alternates hand positions to increase variety and balance in upper body pulling strength.
Instructions
- Grasp a pull-up bar with one hand facing you (underhand grip) and the other facing away (overhand grip), using a grip just wider than shoulder width.
- Pull your body upward, focusing on engaging your back and arms as you rise.
- At the top, pause briefly, then lower yourself back down with control.
- On your next set, switch hand positions so both arms are worked evenly over time.
