Can you do a Chin up?

I almost hit double digits with chin ups, then I screwed up my shoulder and took a two month hiatus from strength training. So frustrating. Now, I'm back at it. Didn't quite start from square one though, which is good.
In high school, I could do 20 or 30 easy. Now, I struggle for 6. But, I'll get there. My short term goal is 10. Long term I'd like to do 20 or more.0 -
Chin ups and pull ups are the best! Chin ups (palms in) allow you to recruit the use of your biceps, pull ups are the single best back exercise. I started not being able to do any pull ups unassisted and only a few chin ups. Through P90X, X2, and 1-on-1s (and a lot of assisted ones with a chair) I can bang out close to 30 wide pull ups. Now am I playing around with a weight vest too! Keep at it and they will come. Make sure to use the full range of motion. You got this!0

I started with fighting gravity.
Hang from the bar and let earth take care of the rest.
Rinse and repeat 5 times then rest for 30 seconds then jump back up.
After a while youll be able to pull yourself up.
I think what helped me out was learning not to lock out.0 -
