Gorilla Chin/Crunch

Body only Abdominals

The Gorilla Chin/Crunch is a strength movement that targets your abdominals. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Gorilla Chin/Crunch

  1. Hang from a pull-up bar with an overhand grip, arms fully extended.
  2. Pull your chin above the bar, then tuck your knees toward your chest simultaneously.
  3. Hold the crunch briefly at the top before lowering both your body and legs.
  4. Avoid swinging — initiate each rep from a dead hang.
