Close Grip Chin Up - Phase 3
Close Grip Chin Ups - Phase 3 - Hypertrophy Phase 1 - Day 2: This is the final exercise for the back during this hypertrophy phase of training; the close grip chins. We've already hit the back quite hard with the last three back exercises & now we'll end the workout with a very demanding exercise. If you're not strong enough to do chin ups, use the cable machine so you can go a little lighter than body weight. For the exercise, you should have a slightly underhand grip about shoulder width apart & maintain a great posture in the lower back. This exercise will really work the lats if you ensure great retraction of the scapula. Aim to complete 3 sets of 12, 10 & 8 reps, adding weights if required, however you may find that your body weight will do the job.
