#Info – Pull Up
Pull-ups are an excellent compound exercise targeting the upper body, especially the back, shoulders, and arms. Common mistakes include using momentum or incomplete range of motion; focus on controlled movements and full extension. Beginners can start with assisted pull-ups using resistance bands or machines. To progress, add weight or increase repetitions gradually. Ensure a firm grip and engage your core for stability. Vary your grip (overhand, underhand, wide) to target different muscles. Regularly incorporating pull-ups can improve strength, endurance, and overall upper body aesthetics.
