Assisted Chin Up Exercises

KIRK VICKERS: This next movement, many of you are familiar with this particular movement. It's called the chin-up. Most people can't move their own body weight. I'm going to show you a way to progress into it more effectively moving your upper body. This is called an assisted chin. What we're going to use is the squat rack over here. You see I've got a bar that's kinda sitting low. It doesn't have to be real high. We could even drop down to this next level. What we're going to do is come underneath the bar, put our feet out, make sure the bar is stable and put our body in a planked position. We are going to come up, stay on our heels, pull our body all the way up so our chest touches and then come down, your upper body down. I'm a little close. I could even turn around and come up the other way. But you could do this at home, put a bar between two chairs, make sure they're stable so they don't fall over. But come in here if you're at the gym, kick through, come up, hold, come down, keep your body in a planked position. Great way to develop some upper-body strength using your own body weight, very safe movement.
