Chin Ups and Pull Ups

Too many people seem to exclude chin ups and pull ups from your routine. It may be because they don't have a chin up bar or it may be because they are unable to perform them. Keep in mind you can head outdoors and use a tree branch. Or get the Perfect Pullup or another brand bar that installs in the doorway. Prices have plunged since I got mine.

Now if you have access to a bar that hangs in the doorway, try this. The chin up really focuses on the bicep muscle and the pull up hits the shoulders hard.

Close the door. Then perform either movement. The door being closed stops you from any sway whatsoever so the focus is completely on your arms and/or shoulders. I don't care if you can only do 1 to start, give this a try and you will slowly be able to work your way up to 7 - 10 of these and then watch out.
