How To
The closer your hands move, the more work your arms have to do to get yourself above the bar.
Keep bringing your hands closer together until you do pull-ups with your hands touching.
Tips
Tip 1
Try to keep a neutral head position (looking straight ahead or slightly up) as hyperextending the neck can lead to compensations throughout the spine.
Tip 2
Imagine you’re trying to drive the elbows down as you pull.
Tip 3
Avoid falling into overextension of the lumbar spine by squeezing your glutes and bracing your abs.
