#Info – Pull Up with a Supinated Grip
The pull-up with a supinated grip, also known as a chin-up, primarily targets the biceps and upper back. Common mistakes include excessive swinging and incomplete range of motion. Focus on controlled movements and full extension. To avoid strain, engage your core and avoid shrugging shoulders. Beginners can use resistance bands or an assisted pull-up machine. Advanced users can add weight with a dip belt. Incorporating negatives—slowly lowering from the top position—can enhance strength. Regular practice improves grip strength and functional upper body power. Always prioritize form over repetitions for best results.
