And right now we're going to go over variations of dead hang pull ups. Dead hang pull ups means there's no swinging. Of the groups we talked about in pulling groups this is, obviously, one from overhead. Basically, a pull up typically means your hands are facing this way. Basic dead hang pull up this way, chin over the bar. Then we can switch grips to what is often known as a chin up. Again, dead hang means there's no swinging. Pull up until the chin is over the bar, and down. We have pull ups are this grip, you can use your thumb of not. Chin ups are as such with your hands facing you. There is also one more option that you can do, often times these are called commando chin ups where your hands are along in line like this and you pull to the sides. Make sure to put the switch, which hand's in front, every couple of reps. Always make sure to go down until your elbows are straight, and the goal is to pull up on pull ups or chin ups to get your chin above the bar. On those commando versions that I showed you my goal, personally, is to touch my shoulder to the bar. Those are basically dead hang pull ups and their variations.
