Instructions

Positioning:
1. Stand directly under the pull-up bar.
2. Reach up and grab the bar with both hands.
- Use a supinated grip (palms facing you) with one hand.
- Use a pronated grip (palms facing away) with the other hand.
3. Your hands should be placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
4. Hang from the bar with your arms fully extended and your feet off the ground.
5. Engage your core and keep your body straight throughout the movement.

Movement:
1. Begin by pulling your body upward by bending your elbows. Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together.
2. Continue pulling until your chin is above the bar.
3. Hold the top position for a brief moment.
4. Slowly lower your body back to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
5. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips for Beginners:
- If you struggle to perform a full chin-up, consider using an assistive band or focusing on negatives (lowering slowly from the top position).
- Keep your movements controlled to avoid swinging.
- Ensure your grip feels comfortable; adjust your hand positions if needed.
- Breathe out as you pull up and inhale as you lower down.
