How to do a chinup
Monday, March 16, 2009 - hugh norley

How to do a chinup   Start by gripping a set of rings (these are the safest way to do chinups - they allow your arms to rotate  through a natural motion), alternately you can use a bar. These should be overhead and your hands should be about shoulder width apart. Breath out and squeeze your shoulder blades together and down your back. This sets the shoulders in place. When your entire bodyweight is hanging from them, it is best to have muscles supporting the shoulder joint rather than just the ligaments. Breathe in as you pull your chest toward your hands and your elbows toward your feet. ***this pattern of breathing promotes proper physiological patterning*** As you reach the top of the movement, twist your forearms so that your palms face toward yourself (rings only). Breathe out as you return to the start position. Do the movement at a comfortable breathing pace. Do as many as you can in a row. If you do manage to break one of these records, then be sure to video it and let us know. Check out the records page for more details.
