Instructions:
- 1Position yourself beneath a pull-up bar. Grasp the bar with a wide overhand grip.
- 2Bend your elbows and begin to pull yourself upwards until your chin clears the bar.
- 3Pause for a moment at the top with your chin over the bar.
- 4Lower your body to the start position in a controlled manner.
- 5Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
Tips:
- Avoid swinging or kicking your body. Engage your core to help stabilize your movement.
- The wider your grip, the more you engage your lats and less your biceps.
- Don't bring your elbows into your sides as you pull yourself up.
- Don't use only your arms to pull yourself up. Make sure your back muscles are doing the work.
