The PullUp might just be the greatest exercise for your back but EVERYONE sucks at them! Pullups are easy if you just follow these 3 tips!

Grip:
If you can’t reach the bar because you are short and try and jump and barely hold on with a weak grip, you are setting yourself up for failure. If you need to, grab a box or something to lift yourself up.

Don’t take a super wide grip, something more shoulder width. If you like wrapping your thumbs around the bar try it, if you don’t no thumbswrapped is fine.

Engaging your lats:
When you do a pullup you need to make sure that you are engaging your lats. You can do this by externally rotating your hands and really engaging your lats. Think about pulling your shoulder blades down and chest up!

Core: Creating lower body tension could be the key to making sure your pull ups are working. When you do a pull up, make sure to engage your core, tense your lower body, squeeze your glutes, and then do a pull up. Don’t cross your feet and use momentum!
