[quote=janesmith][quote=Anonymous][quote=janesmith]Took me a loooong time until I did one. It's all about the lats and abs. Use the assisted pull-up machine. 5 on 50 pounts, 4 on 40, 3 on 30, 2 on 20 and then try on your own. Do several reps and eventually you'll get it. [/quote] No abs involved in pullups or chinups[/quote] Absolutely abs are involved. A pull-up or a chin-up is supposed to be totaly vertical with no tilt forward, which a lot of the people do. Abs strength will provide that stabilization. "Furthermore, if you control the amount of anterior pelvic tilt exhibited during the pull-up by bracing the abs, it's also an incredible low-ab exercise, and the elbow flexors get worked considerably during pull-ups as well." http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/6_coaches_weigh_in_on_pullups&cr=[/quote]
