General And Specifics
- this variation requires, besides the muscles named above, especially the grip strength and a lot of stabilizing muscles which keep the upper body from swinging
Starting Position
- throw two smaller towels above the chin-up bar in shoulder width
- the palms of the hands point to each other
- let your body hang down with almost stretched out arms and bent legs
Correct Execution
- bend the arms and pull yourself up as high as you can
- the difficulties: remain stable and do not slip down the towels
- do not swing and concentrate on the correct execution
- hold the final position for a bit
- bring your body back into the starting position slowly
- repeat the execution for an effective back workout
tips for the workout
- if you slip down the towels, you can fold them or make some knots
- if this is too easy for you, you can put on a filled backpack
- you can also do it with only one towel, watch you head in the bending then
- this variation has the focus a bit more on the biceps
