Differences are in the Grip • Chin Ups- Tighter, Supinated Grip. Focuses more on the lats • Pull Ups- Wider, Pronated Grip. Focuses more on the traps
Concentric Phase • Start with full extension in arms • Activate the back to pull yourself up • Pull up until your chin is above the bar
Eccentric Phase • Lower yourself slowly until your arms are full extended • A controlled, eccentric movement will help to strengthen the back and shoulders
Spotting • Spotter stands behind you and presses up enough to keep you movement • Spotter should put their hands on your lats or scapula • The person performing the exercise should keep their bodies straight and avoid kicking back with their feet while pulling themselves up
Self Spots • Use of the jump bands may also be appropriate • Place the jump band on the bar spot. Raise for more assistance, lower for less assistance
