Wide-Grip Pull-Up on Straight Bar

Take a wide overhand grip on a straight pull-up bar and begin in an active hang.

Brace the trunk and keep the body from swinging.

Use a range of motion you can control without swinging.

Keep the wide overhand grip comfortable and keep both hands even on the bar.

Using a leg swing or momentum instead of completing the pull with the upper body.

Letting the shoulders rise toward the ears at the bottom of the hang.

Dropping quickly into the bottom position instead of lowering under control.
