Weighted Moderate Wide Grip Chins Category: Supplemental Muscles Targeted: Upper Back, Lats and Biceps Chins, what can we say about them? Great for everyone even fat guys. So what if you can only get one rep, yank yourself up there. Now what if you can do chins? What if you are actually good at them? Add some weight! Weighted Chins are the solution to all those relative strength gurus. Use a weight chin/ dip belt and chin the same way you would normally... Start with a full stretch, back arched and chin up. Pull yourself to the bar trying to pull your sternum to the bar. Lower and repeat, unless you are a huge fat guy. In this case do one rep pat yourself on the back and load the barbell for heavy rows. Sets and Reps - Do whatever you can do and do them to failure. If you can do 15-20 chins then it is time to add weight. Start with an additional 10-20% of your body weight and work you way up from there.
