Strength Exercise of the week #2: Pull Ups/Chin Ups
Written By Summerside Chiropractic Clinic on June 19, 2023
Pull Ups and Chin Ups both target lots of muscle groups. Its a great basic movement that is intuitive and challenging with many advanced variations. You will be strengthening your trapezius to give you that V shape to your back, shoulder muscles, biceps, and even abdominal muscles!
Pull Ups (wide grip, palms facing away from you) are considered more difficult than chin ups (narrow grip, palms toward you). If you’re having difficulty doing even one, place a box under your bar at first and let your legs use it to help or you can use the cable machine at a gym. Do as many as you can, then later in your workout or later in the day try again.
I love this move because its easy technique wise for people, it hits major groups of muscles that we want strong when we are older.
