A vertical pulling exercise with an underhand grip and resistance added to bodyweight. It trains the lats, biceps, and upper back and provides a load progression from an unweighted chin-up.
Attach the desired weight to a dip belt securely around your waist.
Stand beneath a chin-up bar and grasp it with an underhand grip, palms facing you, shoulder-width apart.
Engage your core and pull your shoulder blades down and back.
Initiate the movement by pulling yourself up until your chin clears the bar.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement, ensuring full contraction of the back muscles.
Lower yourself in a controlled manner until your arms are fully extended.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Ensure your grip is firm to maintain control throughout the exercise.
Focus on engaging your lats and biceps during the pull-up phase.
Keep your core tight to prevent swinging or using momentum.
Control the descent to maximize muscle engagement and prevent injury.
Start with lighter weights to master form before progressing to heavier loads.
Breath out as you pull up and inhale as you lower yourself down.
