Seated Commando Pull-Up
The commando pull-up from a seat on the floor under a low bar, legs out in front; the heels carry part of the weight, so it is the lightest of the commando versions.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on the floor side-on under a low bar, legs long, hands close together one in front of the other, arms straight.
Steps
- Pull up so the head passes one side of the bar, heels on the floor.
- Lower until the arms are straight again.
- Pull the head to the other side next.
Common mistakes
Bending the knees to push up: the legs stay long and passive. Bar so low the arms cannot straighten: raise it a notch. Always the same side: alternate every rep.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale lowering.
