Brachialis Narrow Pull-Ups
An Australian pull-up with the hands close together overhand, which moves the work toward the brachialis and the forearms.
How to do it
Setup
Under a bar set at hip height, body straight from heels to head, hands a fist apart in an overhand grip.
Steps
- Pull the chest up to the bar, elbows close to the body.
- Keep the body in one line from heels to shoulders.
- Lower to straight arms under control.
Common mistakes
Hips sagging toward the floor: squeeze the glutes and keep the line. Elbows flaring wide: keep them in; the narrow grip is the point. Stopping short of the bar: the chest touches, then lower.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale lowering.
