Top Chin-up Hold
Ideally should be able to get your collarbone level with or touching the bar. At a minimum, your chin should be past the bar with your neck in a neutral (non-craning) position.
Progress once you can do 3x20s

If you like my content a lot and want to say thanks to the person that made it (me!), you can send me a one-off or monthly tip on Ko-fi here! Also, I have a premium exercise library hosted on this site with currently 325 exercises in it that you can subscribe to for only £5 per month. If you do decide to sign up, it’d be even better for you than donating anyway, because you get some nice premium content as well!
(ON THE PRESENCE OF ADS ON THE SITE:) I make the majority of my content for free because I simply want to help people as much as I can, and want to make fitness as accessible and easy to understand as possible, but running this site has some costs associated with it and like everyone in this world I’ve got bills to pay! I have had manual donation buttons and optional paid subscriptions on my site for years so I could avoid hosting ads for as long as possible, but the number of supporters to the site has not grown proportionally with increased traffic (and associated running costs from improvements to the site) over time.
Ultimately, that has informed the decision to host ads on the site. In an ideal world, if I were able to get enough consistent supporters to the site, then I could go back to making the site fully ad-free. At the same time I recognise that is not realistic, as a lot of people who appreciate my content the most do so because it is completely free, and would ultimately rather choose a few ads in my articles than having to pay for access.
