Weighted Chins 60x5

Great work, OP.
For those without access to a vest or dip belt, it is pretty easy to cradle a dumbbell vertically in between your thighs without a spotter. Of course, at 100lbs this would not be very doable, but up to 50 or so should be ok.
I can't find a picture showing the grip I've used, but it goes something like this:
- Stand with you knees bent deeply and place the dumbbell between your upper thighs so your legs grip the handle
- The top weighted end will be flush against the front of your thighs
- The bottom weighted end will be behind your thighs and at an angle downwards so that it rests against your calves
- Straighten up in your stance and keep a slight bend in your legs to keep the weight locked in like this - the dumbbell will not be parallel with the floor but at an upwards angle from back to front
I hope that makes sense and isn't something that will break your spine.0 -
I agree that Chins are one of if not the best exercise for building back and biceps mass. Last summer I was up to a 1RM of 100 lbs strapped to my waist but since then I've dropped off a little bit. Good luck with your goal!
