My doctor has asked me to lose 24 pounds by 2004, I'm trying to do it by August. I don't currently have access to weights, so I've started the home workout routine described on this site. On of the exercises in that workout is "Chins between Chairs". I'm all but positive that I am doing this wrong. Perhaps I have long forearms but when I do this the bar feels too low. I think that I am following the description fairly well. Also the description says to keep your body straight, but in the picture it appears that, when pulled up to the bar, the man is bending at the waist. Which is it? It is VERY dificult for me to do this more than one time without bending at the waist. Is there a less confusing alternative to this exercise that works the same muscle groups? I'd even be willing to put a chin up bar in my garage if that were necessary. Thanks in advance for your help.

This exercise is a little tricky.. you would be better off to put a chinning bar in your garage as u suggested. If they are too difficult to perform, place your feet on a chair below and aid yourself enough to perform the reps.
Good Luck!

Should I do overhand chin-ups to replace the chins between chairs exercise? It seems as though I'd end up targeting different muscles since I'm changing the direction of tension by pulling up vertically rather than horizontally (I think that makes sense). If the chins between chairs exercise intentionally targets specific muscles that I'd not be able to target with a normal chin-up bar, then I'd be willing to learn the proper form, even if it is tricky.
Arnold, thanks for your response. Could someone describe the proper form for the chins between chairs exercise?

This is the correct way to do this exercise, i suggest checking to make sure your home-owners insurance is up to date before putting a broom stick on the back of two chairs and pushing up and down on it.

of each chair. Place a broomstick across both chair backs on each towel. Lie on ground between
