Pull-up: how to do it with good form
The pull-up is one of the best exercises for back width and the biceps. If you cannot do a full one yet, a resistance band helps you start.
How to do it
- 1
Hang from the bar with an overhand grip, slightly wider than your shoulders.
- 2
Pull your shoulder blades down, then pull yourself up.
- 3
Bring your chin over the bar.
- 4
Lower all the way to straight arms.
Common mistakes
- Kicking or swinging to get up.
- Half reps that stop short of straight arms.
