elpea118 Posts: 7 Joined: 2005/04/24	2005/04/28, 04:38 PM uhhhh in my workout it has Wide grip chins to front, i didnt know what it was so i checked it out and you have to use like a pull up bar. And i dont have one......well actually i do have one but its not wide like that, is there maybe an alternative that might do the same thing? http://www.freetrainers.com/FT/jsp/ExerciseDescription.jsp?e_name=Wide_Grip_Chins_to_front
