How to perform?
Chin-ups, also known as underhand pull-ups, are a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the muscles in the upper back and biceps. The exercise is performed by gripping a pull-up bar with an underhand grip (palms facing towards the body), and pulling the body upwards until the chin passes the bar. Chin-ups are an effective way to build strength and muscle in the upper body, and can be modified to suit different fitness levels by adjusting the number of reps, sets, and rest periods.
