Improve Your Pull-Ups in 2 Minutes #
This video provides quick tips for improving your pull-up technique and maximizing your workouts.
- Grip:
- Use a pronated grip (palms facing away from you) for a classic pull-up.
- Using a supinated grip (palms facing you) creates a chin-up, which is typically easier.
- Experiment with different hand positions to find what works best for you.
- Technique:
- Start with your arms fully extended.
- Pull yourself up until your chin is over the bar.
- Lower yourself back down in a controlled manner.
- Form:
- Keep your core engaged and back straight throughout the movement.
- Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the pull.
- Progression:
- If you can't do a full pull-up, start with assisted pull-ups or negative pull-ups.
