Keep this leg close to the midline of your body. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">On the planted side, form a tripod base by placing your weight on the back portion of your foot, and the base of your big and baby toes.

You may also use a neutral grip where your palms are facing one another, or a supinated grip where your palms are facing you. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Set your body so it is in a relatively straight line from your head to feet (I call this a slight hollow body position). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Flex your glutes and quadriceps. If you do not have the option of fully extending your legs, bend your knees, have your feet behind you, and flex your glutes and hamstrings. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Before each rep, take a deep breath in (360 degrees of air around your spine), brace your core (360 degree brace around your spine), and lightly close the space in your midsection\/think about wrinkling the front of your shirt like you would during a dead bug. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Now initiate the movement by using the muscles in your mid and upper back and draw your shoulder blades in towards your spine and down towards your opposite hip, and simultaneously drive your elbows in towards your sides and down towards the floor. As you are doing this, think about pulling the bar down to you versus thinking about pulling yourself up to the bar. This will help eliminate slack and will help prevent you from \u201cjerking\u201d your pull. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">As you are approaching the bar and are completing the rep, continue with this same shoulder blade and arm movement, and pretend you are trying to crush oranges in your armpits. This will help you use more back! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">In the top position, do not allow your elbows to flare out. Your body and upper arms should resemble an \u201carrow,\u201d not a \u201cT\u201d. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Make sure your chin passes the bar, but do not look up and reach with your chin. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">In the top position, pause for 2-3 seconds. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Now smoothly lower yourself to the bottom position. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">During the lowering\/eccentric component, do not keep your shoulder blades pinned. They are meant to move, and should perform the reverse movements as they did during the ascending\/concentric component and should spread apart from your spine, move around your ribcage, and away from the opposite hip. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">In the bottom position, your elbows should be close to fully extended, but not hyperextended. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">For the duration of the exercise, maintain the pull-up specific body position described above.
