Description

The pull up (neutral grip) is a variation of the classic pull up exercise where the palms face each other in a neutral grip position.

Starting Position

Hang from the pull-up bar with a neutral grip, arms fully extended and shoulders relaxed.

Technical Execution

Pull yourself up towards the bar by engaging the back muscles and driving the elbows down and back. Lower yourself back down with control.

Range of Motion

Ensure you achieve a full range of motion by starting from a dead hang and pulling yourself up until the chin clears the bar.

Variations

You can vary the grip width, hand positioning, or add weights for progression.

Common Mistakes

Common mistakes include swinging the body, not engaging the core, and using momentum to complete the movement.

Practical Advice

Focus on controlled movements, engage the core throughout the exercise, and use a full range of motion for optimal results.

Additional Notes

This variation targets the back and arms effectively while also engaging the core for stability.
