    How to: Supinated Narrow Grip Pull-up

    1. Grab the bar with an underhand grip, your hands closer than shoulder-width apart.
    2. Hang with your arms fully extended and shoulders relaxed.
    3. Pull your chin above the bar while squeezing your shoulder blades together.
    4. Lower your body back to the starting position with controlled motion.

    Common Mistakes

    • Rounding the back instead of keeping it straight.
    • Not achieving full range of motion.
    • Using momentum to assist in the pull-up.

    Modifications

    • Use a resistance band for assistance.
    • Perform the exercise from a lower bar height if necessary.

    Tips

    • Engage your core while pulling up to maintain stability.
    • Avoid swinging your body to ensure an effective pull.
    • Keep your shoulders down and away from your ears during the movement.
