Instructions

1. Grab the pull-up bar with the palms facing forward using a wide grip. for best results.

3. Pull your torso up while leaning to the left hand side until the bar almost touches your upper chest by drawing the shoulders and the upper arms down and back. Exhale as you perform this portion of the movement. Tip: Concentrate on squeezing the back muscles once you reach the full contracted position. The upper torso should remain stationary as it moves through space (no swinging) and only the arms should move. The forearms should do no other work other than hold the bar. for best results.
4. After a second of contraction, inhale as you go back to the starting position. for best results.
