Kneeling chin-ups are a unique exercise suitable for beginners and meatheads alike. They can help you get your first ever chin-up, or they can be used as a sadistic tool for hardcore lifters. For Beginners When you start chin-ups from you knees the floor acts as a depth gauge. And setting the bar at the right height is an important part of that. As a variation for beginners, or those looking to groove a good chin-up pattern, you can start with the bar lower and work within a reduced range of motion. As your strength and technique improves, you can start with a higher bar and straighter arms. Even complete beginners I’ve worked with have been able to do these with the bar set as low as forehead height. Chin-ups are far easier at the top than in the middle, so allowing a beginner to actually pull their chin over the bar is a massive boost in confidence. The next week they’d do them with the bar one notch higher, and before you know it they’d be able to start from a full hang. For Advanced Lifters
