LEVER Chinups: Get a Stronger Back and Core

Written by

in

The Lever Chinup requires not only a high level of Pulling and Core strength, but also good overall body control.

Don’t try to rush this or use momentum – strong and steady wins the race.

.
A few key points:

  1. Start by taking a strong grip on the bar
  2. Pack your shoulder blades at the top
  3. Don’t fall and break your skull

Training outside is awesome.

Obviously bodyweight exercises can be done outside.

Parks are great for doing Pullups and related exercises like this.

It’s also super easy to grab a Kettlebell, however I haven’t found a good way to carry it while riding my bike.

And of course, the TRX is an awesome, portable tool that allows you to do hundreds of exercises.

If you’re looking for TRX exercise and programming ideas, check out the Suspension Revolution program.

    Good video. I do these on my power rack.

    For carrying the kettlebell on your bike, unless it’s >20kg or so, just get a cheap backback and throw it in there with a towel wrapped around it to pad your back.
