Brett Chepenik How To Do Proper Pull Ups
2
Pull Ups is a strength training exercise which is
designed to strengthen the back, biceps and
shoulders and increase overall body strength and
muscularity.
3
The pull up movement begins with the arms fully
extended above the head, with an overhand grip on
the bar. Lift your chin above the bar while
keeping your elbows back and pushing your chest
up during the movement.
4
Upon bringing your chin above the bar, return to
the strating position and repeat. Most experts
will agree this is the best exercise in building
the thickness of ones back.
5
Modifications for this exercise include a
negative and jumping pull up. Utilizing a bench
or plyo box for assistance, a negative pull up is
performed by jumping so that the chin is above
the bar and controlling the descent of the
movement until the arms are fully extended.
6
The more time that is taken to control the
descent, the more muscle fiber is recruited.
Another modification includes performing the pull
up by jumping up with hands on the bar, lifting
the chin above the bar and returning to the start
position.

As one begins to strengthen his or her back,
performing this exercise in this manner will help
create the muscle memory and strength to progress
to a pull up without modifications.
