The mixed grip chin up builds serious lat width and back strength. One hand forward, one back gives you better grip strength and lets you crank out more reps.
1. Hang from a pull-up bar with one palm facing you, one facing away - hands shoulder-width apart 2. Start the mixed grip chin up by pulling your shoulder blades down and back 3. Drive your elbows down toward your sides to pull your chin over the bar 4. Hold at the top for a second, feeling your lats squeeze tight 5. Lower yourself slowly back to the starting position and repeat the mixed grip chin up
• Keep your core tight throughout the entire mixed grip chin up movement • Don't swing or use momentum - control the weight with your lats • Switch which hand faces forward between sets to prevent muscle imbalances • Focus on pulling with your back muscles, not just your arms during mixed grip chin ups
• Using only arm strength instead of engaging your lats during mixed grip chin ups • Swinging your body or using momentum to get up to the bar • Not going through the full range of motion on each mixed grip chin up rep
