for good technique and a pull-up you
00:08
want to start off with your hand grip
00:09
strong and just outside shoulder width
00:12
apart on the bar palms facing away from
00:14
you
00:15
locking those feet together and engaging
00:16
the core relax your shoulders down and
00:18
back away from your ears this is our
00:21
neutral body position our aim is to
00:22
maintain this throughout the move to
00:24
initiate your pull up breathing out as
00:26
you do keeping a controlled movement
00:28
onto your chin lines with the bar
00:31
release down slowly finishing with
00:33
extended arms at the bottom
00:35
if you find it hard to perform the full
00:36
pull up the first regression step
00:38
involves a band as an assistant force
00:40
pulling you up wrapping the band from
00:42
the bar to under one knee hand script
00:44
wide in the same position bracing
00:46
yourself in the neutral strong position
00:48
first to then initiate your pull up
00:50
you can use bands of various strength
00:52
the thicker the band the easier it will
00:54
feel
00:55
if you can't access a band find a step
00:57
or box jump up to the bar and hold at
01:00
the top slowly release your body down
01:02
maintaining that strong core and relaxed
01:04
shoulders
01:05
here we are targeting those same muscles
01:07
we would use for a full pull up
01:09
repeat until enough strength is built to
01:11
perform before pull up being aware this
01:14
can take a series of consistent efforts
01:16
over multiple weeks
