Key Points

• Grip the bar with your palms facing towards you for chin-ups.
• Start from a dead hang position with fully extended arms.
• Keep your core engaged and avoid swinging your body.
• Pull your body up until your chin clears the bar.
• Lower yourself back down slowly and with control.

Common Mistakes

• Using momentum or swinging to pull yourself up.
• Not completing a full range of motion.
• Neglecting to engage the core muscles.
• Allowing the shoulders to hunch forward.
• Holding the breath during the exercise.
