Are you looking to improve your grip for pull-ups (and many other exercises)? Give this badass exercise a try! This advanced exercise improves grip, shoulder and scapular stability, and lumbo-pelvic stability (think core). All of these are key components of the pull-up!
Coaching Tips:
- Adopt your preferred hand width. You can start in either a pull-up or chin-up grip.
- While remaining in a pull-up position, and while keeping at least chin level above the bar, alternate your grip from pull-up to chin-up for the target number of reps. Do not allow your body to drop.
- For the duration of the exercise, maintain a pull-up specific body position (or close to it) for 100% of the exercise. This will be MUCH easier said than done.
- Keep your elbows at about a 45 degree angle with your torso. Don’t allow your elbows to flare out. Your arms and torso should look like an arrow, NOT a t shape.
- For the duration of the exercise, do not allow your shoulder blades to elevate, or shoulders to shrug.
- For the duration of the exercise, your head, torso, and hips should remain in a stacked position. Do not allow your lower back to hyperextend, round, or flex laterally, ribcage to flare, or torso, spine, or hips to rotate.
- For the duration of the exercise, keep your core muscles braced (360 degree brace around your spine), and contract your glutes and quads (or hamstrings if you have to keep your knees bent).
- In terms of breathing, do what works and feels best for you.
