When it comes to building upper body strength and developing a toned, muscular back, pull-ups are incredibly effective exercise. However, they can be challenging for beginners and require a proper form to avoid injury. In this guide, we’ll provide step-by-step instructions on how to perform a pull-up with proper form, along with tips for modifying the exercise and incorporating assistance if needed. Pull-ups are a highly effective exercise for building upper body strength and developing a toned, muscular back. However, for beginners, they can seem daunting and intimidating, especially if proper form is not followed. In addition, pull-ups require a certain level of strength and endurance that may take time to develop.
How to perform Wide Neutral Grip Pull Up
- Grab a pull-up bar with a slightly wider than shoulder-width neutral grip (palms facing towards each other).
- Exhale and pull your torso upward towards your hands as you contract your biceps and the muscles across your back (more so with your back).
- Continue to pull yourself up until your chest is as high as it can be.
- After a brief pause, return your torso back along the same path into its starting position.
- If you require assistance, you can set up and place your foot or knee on a resistance band. This will compensate for a percentage of your body weight.
- Remember to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
