Muscles Targeted:

• Pull-ups are a compound movement that target the back and the biceps.

• They are arguably one of the most rewarding body weight exercises in the gym and are known for building strong lats and biceps.

• Neutral Grip Pull-ups, when compared to other variations, put less stress on the shoulders and activate the biceps and forearms more.

Form:

• When performing this exercise it’s important to emphasize taking each rep through its entire range of motion.

• Start by hanging from the bar, keep your chest up and pull yourself upward without letting the elbows flare out.

• Descend slowly to emphasize time under tension.

Rep Ranges:

• This exercise can be performed in any rep range but make sure to keep your form.

• Adding weight is a great way to increase difficulty here.
