most of the major muscle group in your body. From the
hamstrings to the hips to the lats, all are worked during

to the crossbar as possible. Keep your feet about a foot
apart. Reach down and hold the bar with both hand shoulder
width apart. Bring the bar up towards your waist keeping
your legs bent and hands straight. Does this while bringing
you back to an upright position. Bend at the waist and
place the bar back on the floor.

When performing the exercise it is important that you keep
your back as straight as possible. This will prevent you
form arching your back and causing injury.

Another thing you can do to get a better grip on the bar is
to hold the bar with your hand facing forward and backward
respectively.

biceps muscles. This is a challenging exercise since you
will need to have the strength to lift your own weight.

with your hands straight and about shoulder width apart.
Pull your body up towards the bar so that your chin touches
it. Count one than lower yourself down and repeat.

One tip when doing Chin ups, you can change the way you
hold the bar from a wide grip to a narrow grip.

Lat Pull downs. This exercise focuses on the back muscles,
forearms and biceps. To do this exercise position a
crossbar onto a pulley that is high. Hold the bar with a
very wide grip. Once you are seated at the machine properly
and with your arms straight, pull down the bar towards your
chest. Hold for one count then return to starting position
slowly.

It is a good idea to change your grip when doing this
exercise so as to engage your back muscles in different
ways.

optimum development. When doing back exercises always make
sure you are engaging your back muscles.
