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 ».
