Grab a Chin Up bar. Set your hands roughly shoulder width apart, with your palms facing toward you (supinated). Begin by standing on a sturdy box or step (if needed) so your chin is over the bar when standing. . Activate your back muscles by squeezing the bar as though attempting to bend it in half. Generate tension throughout your lower body by squeezing your feet, thighs, butt, and legs together. Keep your shoulders down, away from your ears. Maintain a proud chest and lift your head towards the sky, creating a seamless straight line from your head to your heels. Once full body tension is achieved, initiate the Chin Up Top Isometric by pointing your toes and extending your legs, lifting your feet off the box or floor. Engage your arms and back muscles to their fullest extent. Hold for desired time, keeping your chin over the bar. We recommend using your phone timer to help you track how long you’ve held the exercise. Once you have completed the hold safely lower yourself down, before resetting for your next rep and set. Repeat for your target number of reps and time held.

Perform Top Isometric Chin Ups 2-3 times per week. Perform 3-5 sets of your target times. Start with a manageable hold time and number of reps that challenges you without compromising form. Each week aim to add 1 or more seconds to your hold until you can do a 15 Second Chin Up Top Isometric Hold to achieve “Boss” level”. Once you have completed the "Boss" level, we recommend you move on to the next exercise. Come back at any time and attempt to master this exercise.

Bodyweight Chin Ups, while highly effective for building upper body strength, require careful execution to mitigate the risk of injuries, particularly to the shoulders and elbows. It's essential to exercise caution and follow proper technique to ensure a safe and effective training experience. To prevent overloading the joints and minimize the risk of injuries, adopt a gradual progression approach. Focus on mastering proper form before attempting more advanced variations or increasing intensity.
