Exercise Summary

Exercise Name: Gironda Sternum Chin Ups
Main Muscle: Biceps
Secondary Muscle(s): Forearms, Lats, Upper Back
Exercise Type: Pull, Compound
Equipment Required: Pull Up Bar

Exercise Description and Instruction:

This Compound Exercise is one of our Body Weight Exercises and is a variation of Standard Chin Ups but focuses more on the lats. Your goal is to touch the Pull Up bar at the sternum (mid chest).

“Chins” are one of the most basic and effective exercises for gaining muscle mass and losing body fat. They are primarily a Bicep Exercise, but also blast your lats and upper back.

To Perform This Exercise:

  1. Grasp the pull up bar with a shoulder width underhand (palms facing up) grip.
  2. Hang from the bar with your arms fully extended.
  3. Pull yourself towards the bar and lean your head back as far as you can by arching your spine.
  4. Continue pulling so that your collarbone passes the bar and you are able to touch your sternum to the bar.
  5. Slowly lower yourself back to starting position.

Tips:

  1. Your hips and legs should be at a 45 degree angle to the floor as you near the bar.
  2. Fully extend your arms at the bottom of the exercise before moving to another repetition.
  3. Hold a dumbbell between your feet for additional resistance.
