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:

Grab a pull-up bar with a pronated grip (palms facing away from you), hands placed wider than shoulder-width.
Hang with your arms fully extended and your body straight.
Pull yourself up by engaging your lats until your chin clears the bar.
Lower yourself slowly back to the starting position.
Repeat for 8–12 reps per set.
Complete 3-4 sets.
