Chin Ups Training
Chin-ups involve the sternal portion of the pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, teres major, posterior deltoid, the rhomboids, the middle and lower portions of the trapezius, and the elbow flexors. A wide variety of sports require strength in these muscles, particularly sports that require powerful upper body pulling action such as judo and wrestling.
A chin-up specialization program will not only build impressive width and thickness to your back but will also pack solid inches on your arms by promoting growth on your biceps, brachialis, brachio-radialis and pronator teres. You only have to look at the arm development of Olympic gold medalists in gymnastics Andreas Wecker (GER) and Yurij (ITA) to be convinced. These individuals are not known for their volume of training on the Scott bench, but more for their countless volume of pull-ups and chin-ups on the various gymnastics apparatus.
The chin-up is a multi-joint compound exercise that involves multiple muscle groups. It is better than “regular” gym exercises for people who train with health and fitness in mind and don’t want to become bodybuilding champions. It saves time and creates functional strength applicable to other physical activities - work or other sports.
The benefits you will get from performing regular chin-ups include:
* functional strength increase
* posture improvements
* back pain alleviation
* a better looking physique
Users have achieved remarkable results in only 6 to 8 weeks. This means that most, if not all, have been able to achieve a single set of twenty repetitions.
You can already do 10 consecutive chin-ups. Great! You are among the few ones who can. By following this program you will probably be able to reach the 20 repetitions target in about 6 weeks.
Most people cannot do even one chin-up. No matter what your level is, this program will help you greatly improve your performance and will put you on your way to 20 chin-ups.
