Any alternative to chin ups?

[Jean28]

Im going to TRY to start P90X tomorrow and I was reading and saw that chin ups are a part of the routine. Is there any alternative that anyone knows to chin ups?

Pull ups??

resistance bands. they show you in the video how to use them if you don't have a bar.

Mountain climbers

Standing military press.

That would be the opposite, no?

We are having a great pulling exercise against a great pushing exercise.

Narrow grip pull downs if you got access to a machine

True, though it works pretty much the exact same muscle groups and I assumed if he didn't have access to/can't do pull ups then any other kind of pull is ruled out also.

Perhaps you have one, but I'm yet to hear of a good reason for a boxer avoiding chin/pull-ups. There are few better basic exercises for a fighter.
