How To Do Reverse Chin-Ups

reverse chin-ups

I read a Frederic Delavier’s book « Strength Training Anatomy » and I learned good stuff.

Hanging at the fixed bar with your hands apart with a supinated grip :

  • Inhale and pulls by pulling out your chest to bring your chin almost to the level of the bar

  • Exhale at the end of the movement

  • Return to the starting position by controlling the movement

This exercise works latissimus dorsi, teres major, biceps brachii, brachialis and a little bit trapezius (middle and lower portion), rhomboid and pectoralis major.

This exercise can be included in a program specific to the arms.

If you have difficulty to lift yourself with your bodyweight, you can do this exercise with the cable machine « lat pulldowns ».
