Wide-Grip Pull-Up
Target your lats more intensely with this wide-grip pull-up.
Wide-grip pull-ups are great for increasing upper-body strength and width by placing greater emphasis on the latissimus dorsi.
How to do:
1. Grab a pull-up bar with a pronated grip (palms facing away from you), hands placed wider than shoulder-width. 2. Hang with your arms fully extended and your body straight. 3. Pull yourself up by engaging your lats until your chin clears the bar. 4. Lower yourself slowly back to the starting position. 5. Repeat for 8–12 reps per set. 6. Complete 3-4 sets.Tips:
- Keep your core tight to prevent swinging. - Avoid using momentum; focus on controlled motion. - Maintain a wide grip throughout to target your lats more effectively. - Exhale as you pull up and inhale as you lower down.- Level
