Working on chin-ups, learning to pull from the stretch point really helps. Not sure where it is? Get a small step, hold the bars, lower yourself and you should feel the lats stretch.

From 2 a few weeks ago to 5 now, yeoo.

And working on the glutes, and squat form.

I went from 0 in Sep to maybe 10 good ones and a load of cheat ones now. Chin-ups for cyclists suck - massive legs, proportionally weak upper body. I do have large forearms though - perfectly apt for the massive wanker I am.

"grip strength" :p

For women chinups tend to be hard, less upper body mass, more weight in legs and I'm built like a cyclist too. Lots of heavy rows and lats work do help.
