"I want to train the shoulder muscles to get stronger and bigger", fitness trainer and model Rob Riches explains. "This shoulder workout was a basic one at that with only four exercises, but each one was performed with all-out intensity and worked beyond my threshold, meaning my body has to adapt by recovering and growing bigger and stronger to be able to manage heavier weights for my next workout."

Tuan Tran: Special Pull Ups & Chin Ups

This is how Tuan Tran's upper body looks after several sets of Pull Ups and Chin Ups. In the video the bodybuilder and raw power lifter demonstrates variations on these exercises. Tuan explains: "Pull-ups & Chin-ups force you to lift your own body-weight. They are the best strength training exercises you can do for upper-body strength & muscle mass. Unfortunately Pull-ups & Chin-ups are hard. Very hard.

If you're a beginner, chances are you can't do 1 Pull-up or Chin-up. This video will not only teach you how to do Pull-ups & Chin-ups with proper technique, but also how to get stronger at them so you can do the weighted versions.

What are Pull-ups & Chin-ups? Hang on a pull-up bar with straight arms & pull yourself up until your chin passes the bar. The difference between Pull-ups & Chin-ups is in the grip:
Pull-ups. Palms facing away. Less biceps, more back. Harder.
Chin-ups. Palms facing you. Work your biceps more. Easier."
