Chin Up Variations

By Elliott | April 26, 2008

I once heard that chin ups are the squats of the upper body! This basically means that its and essential exercise for upper body development. It is also that best indicator for realtive strength capacity, and relative strength is the best indicator for speed. So do these if you want to be strong and fast!

1. is band chin ups for those of you who cant do regular chins yet.
2. is towel chin ups for developing back and grip strength.
3. is one arm towel chin ups
4. is close grip chin ups with triangle grip thing
5. is me sighing cuz I need to get stronger too!!

Tip: As I mentioned earlier, chin ups are a great indicator for relative strength. Well, some of you are thinking “what the hell is relative strength?”. Hulse Answer: its the strength that is displayed in relation to your bodyweight or how well you can manage your own bodyweight. So, if you can lift 1000 pound but can’t do a single chin up… your relative body strength sticks. If you can do 1000 chin ups… your relative strength is great!
