PULL-UPS

Purpose: Pull-Ups are one of the primary exercises used since any of us can remember. They remain as the most basic and most effective way to strengthen your back, and your grip.

Muscles Involved:
Lats
Biceps
Forearms


	With an overhand grip, grasp a pull-up bar or apparatus (Shown here) with your hands wide enough that you're elbows will bend at a near 90 degree angle at midpoint. NOTE: This is an extremely versatile exercise, meaning that you can focus more on widening your back by positioning your hands wider than the standard approach.

	Without swinging your body or kicking your legs, pull yourself up to your hands. Shown here is the midpoint of the exercise.

	Once your chin is in line with your hands, hold for a moment, then lower yourself down and repeat. NOTE: Beginners may want to start with Assisted Pull-Ups until they are strong enough to support their own weight.
