Chin-Ups (Narrow Parallel Grip)
Pull-ups on a V-handle hung over the bar, palms facing each other and close together; the head passes beside the bar as the chest rises to the handle.
How to do it
Setup
V-handle hooked over the bar, both hands on it palms facing, dead hang, arms straight.
Steps
- Pull the chest toward the handle, leaning back slightly.
- Move the head to one side of the bar at the top.
- Lower to a full hang with control.
Common mistakes
Handle slipping on the bar: hook it fully and test it before the first rep. Head hitting the bar: move it to the side early. Swinging to reach the handle: a quiet hang and strict reps.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale lowering.
