One Armed Chin-Up
Exercise Data
Main Muscle Worked: Middle Back
Other Muscles Worked: Biceps, Forearms, Lats
Equipment: Other
Mechanics Type: Compound
Tips: The most difficult variation, but also the most mass building one. The form is that of a wide grip pull-up, however, the other hand will be helping with only balance. This is ensured by placing a towel around the bar and holding on to the towel with the other hand. This builds fore-arm strength in one hand and a wide powerful back in the other. Switch sides to ensure an even muscle build.
