The wide grip chin up builds a wider, stronger back by targeting your lats from a different angle. It creates that V-shape while building serious upper body strength.
1. Hang from a pull-up bar with hands wider than shoulder-width apart, palms facing away from you 2. Start the wide grip chin up by pulling your shoulder blades down and back 3. Pull your chest toward the bar while keeping your core tight and legs straight 4. Pause briefly at the top when your chin clears the bar 5. Lower yourself slowly back to the starting position with control to complete the wide grip chin up
• Keep your shoulders pulled back throughout the entire wide grip chin up movement • Don't swing or use momentum - control the movement from start to finish • Focus on pulling with your lats rather than just your arms during the wide grip chin up • Maintain a slight arch in your back and keep your core engaged
• Using too wide of a grip which limits range of motion and can stress your shoulders • Rushing through the wide grip chin up without controlling the lowering phase • Letting your shoulders roll forward instead of keeping them pulled back and down during the wide grip chin up
