Pull-Up

Hang from a bar with an overhand grip slightly wider than shoulder width, ribs down and legs steady.

Pull the elbows down and back until the chest approaches the bar, then lower under control to a full hang.

• Think about driving the elbows toward the hips
• Keep the ribs down instead of arching hard
• Control the descent to a full hang

• Kipping to complete reps
• Cutting the top or bottom short
• Shrugging instead of pulling

• Assisted pull-up
• Weighted pull-up
• Neutral-grip pull-up
