Triangle Chin-ups
Dallas Personal Trainer - An old-school exercise that is rarely seen in any gym anywhere in the US including Dallas. Almost completely unused by personal trainers with their clients.
Hang a triangle handle (the ones typically used on seated pulley row machines) over a regular chinning bar and grab each side of the handle. Let your body hang all the way down to get a full stretch. Let you body lean back slightly as you pull yourself up smoothly until your lower chest touches the triangle bar. Make sure you do not jerk, swing, or use momentum. Contract your shoulder blades down and back fully at the top, and then lower yourself back to the starting position under control. Get a good stretch again, without letting your shoulder joints go completely loose, and then repeat. In order to prevent bumping your face on the chin bar, you can lean your head to the right on one rep, then to the left on the next rep, back and forth throughout the set.
