Back – Pull Up • Grasp the pull up bar/handles with both hands using a wide overhand grip • ‘Hang’ from the bar so the arms are fully extended, keep your torso as straight as possible while creating a curvature on your lower back and sticking your chest out. This is your starting position. • Pull your torso up until your head is around the level of the pull-up bar. • Pause at the top and lower the body back down under control until the arms are fully extended • Variations: • If you are new to this exercise and do not have the strength to perform it, use a pull-up assist machine if available. These machines use weight to help you push your bodyweight. • Otherwise, a spotter holding your legs can help. • On the other hand, more advanced lifters can add weight to the exercise by using a weight belt that allows the addition of weighted plates Bodyweight Assisted Resisted Created by: stewart.kearney927@mod.uk
