If you’re unable to perform a chin-up try some of these points below to eventually be able to start doing these reps day in day out. Ways to improve your chin-ups include:
Perform Lat Pulldowns where you slow down the upward (eccentric) phase of your lift.
Use an assisted chin-up machine to progress on your shin-ups
Seated Rows will build back and bicep muscles that will also help you perform this movement
Try and perform chin-up holds where you hold the top phase of the chin-up to recruit the necessary muscles required to eventually perform the repetitions in their full capacity.
Happy Chin-Upping.
