V-Bar Pullup

Use a V-bar to target your lats with a neutral grip pull-up.

Using a V-bar for pull-ups offers a wrist-friendly neutral grip that can increase activation in your lats and arms. It also helps vary your pulling routine for continued progress.

Instructions

  1. Place a V-bar over the pull-up bar so the handles hang down securely.
  2. Grip the V-bar handles and hang with your chest lifted and back slightly arched.
  3. Pull your chest toward the bar while keeping your elbows close.
  4. Pause briefly at the top, then lower yourself under control.
  5. Repeat for the prescribed reps.
