2Because there is an extended range of motion, the chest to bar is considered more difficult than the chin over bar pull up. The bar should make contact with the chest right below the collarbone.
-
3Once you've reached this point, descend back to the starting position with control. At the bottom of the position, the arms should be fully extended. This is one rep.
