1. Stand under the pull-up bar and grip it with both hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
2. Hang from the bar with your legs straight or crossed behind you and arms fully extended.
3. Engage your core muscles and pull your body up by bending your elbows and driving them towards your hips. Keep your elbows close to your body.
4. Continue to pull yourself up until your chin is over the bar.
5. Pause at the top for a moment.
6. Lower yourself back down to the starting position with a controlled motion until your arms are fully extended again.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
8. Ensure not to swing or use momentum to complete the motion, as this will reduce the effectiveness of the exercise on the targeted muscle group.
Remember to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to prevent injury and ensure optimal muscle engagement.
