How To Do A Pull Up Exercise Demonstration Video and Guide
The pull up is a fantastic bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the muscles in the back, but also hits the biceps as well.
To get started:
- With a shoulder width, overhand grip, grab a pull up bar with both of your hands and hang with your arms fully extended and your legs straight.
- If the bar is not high enough to hang with straight legs, interlock your feet and bend your knees behind you.
- Initiate the move by contracting your back muscles to pull your chest up to the bar.
- Keep your core tight, your glutes contracted, and your body in a straight line when pulling.
- Under control, slowly lower your body back to the starting position with your arms fully extended.
- Repeat.
