Chin-Up (In Squatting Position)
Hanging from a low bar with the knees bent and the feet flat in front, pull the chin over it; the planted feet carry part of the weight.
How to do it
Setup
Underhand grip on a low bar, hips hanging below it, knees bent and feet flat on the floor in front.
Steps
- Pull the chest up toward the bar, feet staying planted.
- Bring the chin over the bar, elbows to the ribs.
- Lower back to straight arms, hips low again.
Common mistakes
Standing up on the legs: the feet only steady the body; the arms lift. Hips piking forward at the top: one line from knees to shoulders. Half reps: straight arms at the bottom every rep.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale lowering.
