To begin, find a sturdy Pull Up Bar or squat rack set up with a barbell. Grab a sturdy box or step if needed, to ensure that your chin is over the bar when standing. Plant your feet securely if on the box or flat on the floor. Grip the bar with your palms facing away in a pronated grip, maintaining a shoulder-width distance between your hands. Activate your back muscles by squeezing the bar as though attempting to bend it in half. Maintain a proud chest and lift your head towards the sky, creating a seamless straight line from your head to your heels. Use your legs to help control the ascent and descent during each repetition, adjusting the support to keep each rep challenging, but doable. Continue pulling until you reach the highest point achievable (ideally chin over bar without jerking it over) and without compromising your form. Repeat for your target number of reps.
Perform Feet Assisted Pull Ups 2-3 times per week. Perform 3-5 sets of your target reps. Each week aim to improve your form, making it more strict while aiming to add 1 or more reps until you have completed 5 reps to achieve the "Boss" level. Once you have completed the "Boss" level with good form, we recommend you move on to the next exercise. Come back at any time and attempt to master this exercise.
Bodyweight Pull Ups, while highly effective for building upper body strength, require careful execution to mitigate the risk of injuries, particularly to the shoulders and elbows. It's essential to exercise caution and follow proper technique to ensure a safe and effective training experience. To prevent overloading the joints and minimize the risk of injuries, adopt a gradual progression approach. Focus on mastering proper form before attempting more advanced variations or increasing intensity.
