An upper body exercise similar to a pull-up but performed with palms facing toward you (supinated grip), emphasizing bicep involvement more than back muscles. You pull up until your chin clears the bar.
From 'chin' (the body part that clears the bar) + 'up' (upward movement). Distinguished from pull-ups in military and fitness contexts to specify grip orientation, though the terms are often used interchangeably.
