Close-Grip Chinup for Women

Close-Grip Chinup

  1. Grab the chinup bar using an underhand grip with your hands placed 6 to 8 inches apart. Hang at arm's length. You should return to this position--known as a dead hang--each time you lower your body back down.
  2. Pull your chest to the bar. Once the top of your chest touches the bar, pause, then slowly lower your body back to a dead hang.
