The Periodization Blueprint for Chin-Ups and Pull-Ups

Exciting news — I just got my hands on the Swissies45, and they’ve completely upgraded my chin-up game. No more awkwardly draping an EZ-curl bar over the power cage — now it’s all about efficiency and versatility.

These handles are a game-changer. They allow for semi-supinated or semi-pronated chin-ups at any grip width you want. Looking for the perfect Christmas gift for a serious lifter? This might be it.

Want to maximize results with Swissies45? Try this 6-month periodization plan:

  • Month 1 – Pronated Grip
  • Month 2 – Neutral Grip
  • Month 3 – Supinated Grip
  • Month 4 – Semi-Pronated Grip
  • Month 5 – Semi-Supinated Grip
  • Month 6 – Mixed Grip

Complete the cycle, then repeat. This approach strategically develops grip strength, pulling power, and muscle balance for an entire year.
