Chin Ups
This is primarily a body building exercise and is useful in sports specific training for paddling, rock climbing, etc. A wide grip tends to work the upper, outer area of the back. Hang with the arms extended and the back stretched.
Concentric contraction: Breathe out. Pull up until the bar is either just below the chin (front pull ups )
Eccentric contraction: Breathe in. Lower the body slowly and with control (2-4 seconds) until the arms are straight. Repeat until the desired number of repetitions are completed.
