Benefits of Pull Ups
Pull-ups are core strength exercises. Many gyms still do not have proper pull up bars that allow you to change the grip of your wrists to add variety to the pull-up movement. Head to a gym that has a multifariously designed pull-up bar system.
In the olden days bodybuilding was done using a combination of gymnastic and weight training exercises. Hence it is not a surprise that the bodybuilders of yore were stronger lads during their time.
This is because the pull-up is an exercise that uses your own body weight. It adds incredible strength to your arms, back, and neck.
How to do a pull-up
- Bring yourself directly underneath a pull-up bar.
- Clasp the bar at shoulder length with an overhand grip. If the pull-up bar is high, you can stand on a stool to do this.
- Gently hang your body with your hand firmly clasping the bar. Maintain a steady body. You can lock your ankles together, and bend your legs a little.
- Gently pull your body up towards the bar.
- Bring your chin over the bar, and if you can, then try to touch the bar with your chest.
For beginners, even doing one pull up might be difficult. In this case, even half pull-ups would be fine. Slowly these half pull-ups will turn into one full pull-up and eventually into some good repetitions. Patience is the key.
