#6. [Weighted] Chin-up
Why: You’d be hard put to find any back exercises that targets the lats better than chin-ups. Compared to Pull-ups (in which the palms are facing away from you) the range of motion is significantly larger and, generally speaking, individuals are able to handle heavier loads without placing as much stress on the shoulders.
Execution: Grip the chin-up bar roughly shoulder-width apart with both palms facing towards you. Keeping your shoulders down and away from your ears, actively try to pull through your elbows until your chest comes in contact with the bar. Pause then slowly lower yourself until your elbows are completely locked out in the bottom position. Repeat for the prescribed number of sets and repetitions.
