Exercise/Body/Strength/Pull-Up
Pull-Up
- Practice pulling the body toward an overhead bar through a controlled hanging range.
Setup
- Use an overhand grip on a secure bar and begin with the arms extended in a comfortable hanging position.
Practice
- Pull the chest toward the bar by driving the elbows down and back, then lower under control. Keep the movement free of swinging or kicking.
Dose and Progression
- Sets, repetitions, resistance, and rest follow the training plan. Establish a repeatable movement with a light load first; add resistance gradually after completing the planned repetitions with consistent control.
Cues and Variations
- Use an assisted pull-up machine or another controlled assistance method when needed for the intended range. Reduce the added load or increase assistance if the movement becomes a swing.
