Just really focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together. BTW, even if you had a bar at home, chins are really tough to do...I'm still working on doing 1 rep unassisted:surprised: -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

I'm sure it is cheap it's just a bar that goes between your door frame like your bedroom or any door. Most Korean people have one in their homes but they don't use them for exercising they use them to hang clothes on but they are made for chin-ups.
