Pull-ups
Starting Posture
Hang from a pull-up bar with your hands shoulder-width apart, palms facing away from you.
How to Exercise
Pull your body up towards the bar by engaging your back muscles and squeezing your shoulder blades together. Lower yourself back down with control.
Breath Control
Exhale as you pull your body up, inhale as you lower yourself down.
Common errors
Common errors include using momentum to swing yourself up, not fully extending your arms at the bottom of the movement, and not engaging your back muscles properly.
Weights
You can add weight by using a weight belt with a chain or by holding a dumbbell between your feet.
Grips
There are different grip variations you can try, such as wide grip, narrow grip, or chin-up grip.
Variations
Variations of pull-ups include assisted pull-ups using a resistance band, negative pull-ups focusing on the lowering portion of the movement, and kipping pull-ups for a dynamic movement.
