How To

The pull-up is to the upper body, what the squat is to the lower body.

It is a great measure of upper body strength and develops the entire upper back into a shredded map.

Tips

Tip 1

Focus on bringing your chest to the bar, not your chin!

Tip 2

Lower to almost full extension of the elbow but avoid locking out completely as this can place excessive strain on the ligamentous structures within the elbow and shoulder.
