PULLING POWER
As bodyweight movements go, chest to bar pull-ups are hard to beat for adding strength and size. They also help with the muchcoveted muscle-up. Let’s begin
01/ GET A GRIP
Begin the exercise by jumping up and grabbing the bar with an overhand grip. Position your hands a little bit wider than shoulder-width apart, extend your arms fully and keep your feet together at all times throughout the movement.
02/ STRONG TO THE CORE
Brace your core and tense your abs to assist with stability and prevent your body from swinging too much. The main aim is to develop strength here, so it’s important that you try to avoid creating any momentum by kicking your legs around.
03/ HIT THE BAR
At the top of the movement, pull yourself into the bar so that your chest makes contact. Pinch your shoulder blades together to help nail the final few inches. This muscle group is often neglected, but will make a huge difference to your pull-ups.
