Pullups

A vertical pull exercise working primarily the back and arms by lifting your body up towards a bar.

Instructions

• Grab the pull-up bar with your palms facing away from you and hands shoulder-width apart.
• Hang with your arms fully extended.
• Pull your body upward until your chin is above the bar.
• Lower yourself back to the starting position with control.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using momentum instead of muscle strength to lift the body.
• Not achieving full range of motion by stopping before the chin passes the bar.
• Bending the wrists backward instead of keeping them straight.
