Back Exercise

|
Pull-ups
Prime movers: Lats, biceps, shoulders
Starting Position: Grab hold of a pull-up bar using an overhand grip with your arms completely extended and feet crossed and off the floor.
Lift:
a. Keeping your body stationary, feet crossed, and bending at the elbows, pull your body up in front of the bar as high as you can, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
b. Let your body come to a brief, complete stop before slowly and controllably lowering it back up to its original starting position, the same way you pulled it up.
Tip: This exercise can also be performed with an underhand grip.
Tip: To train for optimal results, be sure to lower yourself all the way until your arms are nearly extended.
The photos above and the back exercise were taken from books in Rob Price’s “The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Sports” series which are available at www.sportsworkout.com and bookstores nationwide.
