Row variations ! They will help a lot if you can't chin-up.

Depends on the way you do them.

1. Could cross Legs

2. Could use a close grip if you use a wide one.

3. Could change the grip depending on whether you use a Supinated or Pronated one, then switch to the other.

or, to improve chins, you do more chins.

just try to set small goals. for example, start from 1 with a dead hang, then work your way up slowly.
