How to Do a Pull-Up Correctly

Pull-ups are a highly effective, albeit challenging, exercise for building a strong, defined upper body.  Incorporate pull-up variations into your strength training program 1-2 times per week for optimal results.  Choose a variation that matches your fitness level; there are options for all abilities.

Try one of these variations:

  • Assisted pull-up on machine

  • Banded pull-ups

  • Negative (eccentric) pull-ups

It took me years to be able to do a true pull-up so if you are not there yet, don’t worry! Consistency and patience is key! Keep working at it and try hitting some variation of them at least two times a week.
