How to: Brachialis Narrow Pull ups

  1. Start by hanging from a bar with a narrow grip, palms facing toward you.
  2. Engage your core and pull your body upwards until your chin is above the bar.
  3. Hold for a moment at the top, then lower yourself back to the starting position.
  4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Common Mistakes

  • Using momentum instead of controlled strength to pull up.
  • Having an incorrect grip which can lead to shoulder strain.
  • Not fully extending the arms at the bottom of the movement.

Modifications

  • Use an assisted pull-up machine if you are unable to complete the exercise unassisted.
  • Perform the exercise with a resistance band to assist with the pull.

Tips

  • Focus on slow, controlled movements to maximize muscle engagement.
  • Ensure your grip is firm and your body is stable during the pull-up.
  • Do not swing your body to maintain correct form.
