Start your year off right with Chinuary, a month-long program specifically designed to enhance your chin-up and pull-up strength. This five-day-a-week program (Monday through Friday) follows a powerbuilding style, blending strength and hypertrophy to maximize upper body performance. Each workout includes variations of chin-ups and pull-ups, targeting different angles and grip positions to ensure well-rounded progress.
Whether you're aiming for your first pull-up or looking to hit new personal records, Chinuary is structured to help you build raw strength, improve endurance, and increase muscle mass in your back, shoulders, and arms. Through progressive overload and strategic recovery, this program is perfect for those committed to hitting their PRs and setting the foundation for stronger, more effective upper body movements in the year ahead.
Ready to take your chin-ups and pull-ups to the next level? Chinuary will get you there.
