Archer Pull-Up
A wide-grip pull-up that rises toward one hand while the other arm straightens along the bar; the bent arm carries most of the load, alternating sides.
How to do it
Setup
Hang from the bar with an overhand grip well outside the shoulders, arms straight.
Steps
- Pull toward one hand, straightening the other arm along the bar.
- Bring the chin up beside the working hand.
- Lower to the middle and pull toward the other side next.
Common mistakes
Bending both arms equally: the far arm stays nearly straight; that is the archer. Body swinging toward the working side: pull the chest up, not across with momentum. Wrists twisting on the straight arm: let the hand roll over the bar.
Breathing
Exhale on each pull, inhale lowering.
