The Close Grip Neutral Pull Up is a bodyweight exercise that targets the back muscles, particularly the latissimus dorsi (lats) and the biceps. This variation of the traditional pull-up is performed with a neutral grip, meaning your palms are facing each other. By changing your grip, you can effectively target different areas of your back muscles, providing a well-rounded workout. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced athlete, incorporating this into your workout routine can be a great way to achieve your fitness goals and improve your overall health and well-being. In this article, we will provide step-by-step instructions on how to properly perform and how to modify the exercises that suit your fitness level and goals.
How to perform Close Grip Neutral Pull Up
- Take hold of the pull-up bars with a neutral grip (hands facing each other).
- Push out your chest and extend both arms to assume your starting position.
- Exhale and pull your torso up until your head is at least level with your hands.
- Concentrate on squeezing your shoulder blades back and down (through your lats) as you reach the position with full contraction.
- After a brief pause, inhale as you slowly return to the starting position with your lats stretch.
