A chin ip is an exercise in which one hangs by the hands from a support (such as a horizontal bar) and pulls oneself up until the chin is level with the support. Such an exercise done with the palms facing inward (a pull up is done with the palms facing outward).[1]
Latissimus dorsi (lats) is the most powerful pulling muscle in your back, and during a chin-up, it’s the primary mover.
