Narrow Seated Chin-Up
The seated chin-up with the hands close together: sitting under a low bar with the legs straight, the heels stay on the floor through the pull.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on the floor under a low bar, legs straight in front, underhand grip with the hands close together.
Steps
- Pull the chest up to the bar, heels staying down.
- Keep the elbows close in front of the body.
- Lower back until the arms are straight.
Common mistakes
Hips sagging while the chest rises: one line from heels to head. Elbows flaring out: the narrow grip keeps them in front. Pushing with the heels to rise: the legs only anchor; the arms lift.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale lowering.
