pull up-over hand!!!!!!
MAN it bothers me when people can't seem to remember the difference! Get it right people, YOU'VE BEEN INFORMED!
Here are a couple of things to remember to help with that perfect form!
Here are a couple of things to remember to help with that perfect form!
1. gloves
Some guys call them pussy pads, I call them life savers! In my opinion, there is nothing manly about walking around with large blisters on yours hands and being unable to workout. Pull up bars are TERRIBLE on your hands if you do them often so don't let blisters be a reason to keep you out of the gym. It's ok as a man to want manly hands, but no woman wants her booty cheeks rubbed by ____.
2. Tight core
No matter what type of exercise you are doing, regular pull ups, chin ups, or one of the variations I will provide you with, ALWAYS keep a tight core! PERIOD! This is probably the best advice that I have for you to help get the best out of a chin up bar workout.
3. no swinging
Momentum is your enemy! Always do controlled motions. Do not let your legs have too much of an effect on your range of motion. You will find that this will get easier as time progresses and your core gets stronger!
Hopefully these quick tips are enough to get you started, stay tuned for the Chin City Official Video next week!
