Close
grip pull up effectively
develops the back muscle inter-costal and lower-lat tie-in. (As an alternative to
the straight-bar variety, two time Mr. Olympia Franco Columbu did close
grip pull up
with his palms facing each other and a V-bar placed over the horizontal
pull-up bar.) This is the technique to follow:
-
Use an overhand
grip and keep your hands spaced about 6-8 inches apart.
-
Pull your body up
to the bar until it reaches your chest. Avoid swinging and using
muscle robbing momentum to get your body up.
-
Lower your body
under control until your arms are fully extended
-
Do partial reps
when you can no longer do close grip pull up full-range reps
-
If you can't do at
least six good close grip pull up reps, use a machine that can help you with the
momentum.
