Banded Chin Ups – Using a Band for Chin Up Progressions

Do bands help with chin ups?

Yes! Using a band teaches explosiveness on the way up and gives the most resistance when returning to the starting position.

What muscles do chin ups work?

Chin ups primarily work the biceps, latissimus dorsi, posterior deltoid, and the deep spinal stabilizers.

Will chin ups build biceps?

They’re a great main biceps exercise! They’re a big, heavy compound lift that works the biceps through a large range of motion. 

Why are chin ups easier than pull ups?

The wider grip of a pull up isolates your lats, so you get less assistance from your biceps.
