Top Pull-Up Hold
Hold the top of a pull-up, chin over the bar, for time; the back and arms work without moving, the strength that finishes every rep.
How to do it
Setup
Jump or step up to the top of a pull-up, overhand grip about shoulder-width, chin over the bar.
Steps
- Pull the elbows down and in to keep the chin above the bar.
- Keep the shoulders down and the legs still.
- Hold and breathe; time it, then lower slowly to a hang.
Common mistakes
Chin sinking below the bar: the hold ends there; step down. Shrugging into the ears: blades down the whole hold. Dropping out of the hold: lower under control.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
