The Shoulder Grip Pull-Up is a variation of the traditional pull-up exercise that targets the shoulders and back muscles. This exercise requires a shoulder-width grip on the pull-up bar, as opposed to the wider grip used in the traditional pull-up.
How to perform
To perform a Shoulder Grip Pull-Up, follow these steps:1. Stand under a pull-up bar with your arms extended and hands gripping the bar at shoulder-width distance.
2. Engage your core and keep your shoulders back and down.
3. Start the movement by pulling yourself up towards the bar, leading with your shoulders. Focus on using your back muscles to initiate the movement.
4. Continue pulling yourself up until your chin passes the bar.
5. Slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
It is important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to prevent injury and effectively target the intended muscle groups. Make sure to engage your core, keep your shoulders back and down, and avoid swinging or using momentum to complete the repetitions.
