Still Trying to get your first chin-up? Try this!

Still struggling to get your first unassisted chin-up? Try this curl triset designed to help you break through plateaus—one sticking point at a time. 💥

Instead of just doing more reps with assistance, this approach targets the 3 hardest parts of the chin-up, helping you pull with purpose. Try 8-10 reps in each range:

• ✅ Top-Range Mini Curls: Practice finishing the rep strong (think chest up, not just chin up!)
• ✅ Mid-Back Curls/Pulls: Build strength through that stubborn mid-back sticking point
• ✅ Bottom-Range Scap Pulls: Practice initiating the pull (because if you can’t start it, you can’t finish it)

You can use a band, machine, or any setup that allows you to feel challenged but in control in each position. 💪

✨ Why it works: This is biceps work that transfers. Chin-ups are a full-body pull, but your biceps do a lot of heavy lifting. And because these mimic the specific joint angles of the movement you’re training for, the carryover is way better than standard curls.

If you’re stuck, don’t give up. Break it down and try to train smarter, not harder. Progress hides in the details. 🧠
