Need help with training program

I have been doing well and already seeing results of my efforts except in one area. No matter how I try, I cannot do a single 'chin between chairs'. Not only that, but when I do try, I get a zinging pain along my shoulders that lasts for quite a while afterward. Is there something else I can substitute that works the same set of muscles? Thanks
