Side To Side Chins

This one is a strong bear move: pull up, then prowl across the bar from side to side before lowering. It hits your back, arms, grip, and core while testing control like a bear edging along a branch.

Instructions

1. Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder width.
2. Hang tall and brace your core.
3. Pull your chin up toward one hand.
4. Shift across the bar toward the other hand.
5. Lower under control to a full hang.
6. Repeat for steady reps.
