Instructions:

  • 1Stand facing the bar and hold it with both hands in a shoulder-width grip.
  • 2Pull your body up to one side of the bar, twisting your torso slightly as you do so.
  • 3Lower your body back down in a controlled manner.
  • 4Repeat the process for the other side.
  • 5Continue alternating between left and right pull-ups.

Tips:

  • Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to improve stability and protect your lower back.
  • Focus on slow, controlled movements rather than speed to increase the effectiveness of the exercise.
  • Try to keep your feet together and your body straight from head to toe.
  • Make sure to breathe: inhale as you pull up and exhale on the way down.
