Mixed-Grip Chin-Up
The chin-up with one palm facing you and the other facing away; switch which hand is under every set so both sides get the same work.
How to do it
Setup
Dead hang, hands shoulder-width, one hand underhand and the other overhand, arms straight.
Steps
- Pull the chin over the bar, keeping the shoulders level.
- Lower to a full hang with control.
- Swap the grips for the next set.
Common mistakes
Body twisting toward the overhand side: keep the chest square to the bar. The same hand underhand every set: alternate it set by set. Chin passing the bar off to one side: rise straight up the middle.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale lowering.
