Pull Up
Intermediate Body Only BicepsLatsMiddle Back
How to do it
- Grab a pull-up bar with your palms facing forward using a grip that is wider than shoulder width. With both arms extended in front of you while holding the bar, bring your torso back around 30 degrees and stick your chest out. This will be your starting position.
- As you exhale, pull your body up until your chin is above the bar by drawing your upper arms down and back. Tip: Concentrate on squeezing the back muscles once you reach the full contracted position. The upper torso should remain stationary as it moves through space and only the arms should move.
- After a second in the contracted position, begin to inhale as you slowly lower your body back to the starting position with your arms fully extended.
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
