Wide-Grip Chins to the Front

Description

PURPOSE: To widen the upper back and create a full sweep in the lats. Chinning yourself so that you touch your chest to the bar rather than the back of the neck gives you a slightly longer range of motion and is less strict, allowing you to cheat slightly so you can continue your reps even after you are tired. EXECUTION: (1) Take hold of the chinning bar with an overhand grip, hands as wide apart as practicable. (2) Hang from the bar, then pull yourself up, trying to touch the top of your chest to the bar. At the top of the movement, hold for a brief moment, then lower yourself back to the starting position.
