Chin-up, pull-up

To find the best grip width

Supinate and clench your hands, pull your shoulder blades back and down, and pull your elbows down.

Your upper arms should be just past parallel to your torso.
Your fists will be at shoulder height or even a bit lower and your fist should be around shoulder width.

Squeeze off the bottom do not jerk
Stay smooth in the movement, to get the most benefit pull the shoulders back and down and pull your elbows back and down.
When you reach the top position pause briefly then slowly lower yourself.
Slowly lower yourself for the last few inches, this will be kind on the shoulder.
