Strict Pull-up – Pronated

Cues:

  • Start in a full passive hang with overhand grip
  • Activate the pull through the back and scaps first, then pull with the arms in one motion
  • Keep the head level and pull until the chin is well above the bar
  • Return to a full hang each rep

Mistakes:

  • Starting from bent arms, or without settling into a full passive hang
  • Pulling with arms first
  • Reaching with the chin to strain for extra distance the back and arms should accomplish
  • Failing to reach a full hang on every rep
