  • Convenience
  • Upper body strength
  • Cardiovascular exercise
  • Increased muscle and grip strength

Are there pull up variations?

Some of the most common variations of pull-ups include:

  • The standard deviation - This is where you position your hands a bit wider than your shoulders with your palms facing away from you. You'll need to pull yourself up while holding your body tight. Once your chin passes the bar, you can proceed to lower yourself back down and repeat.
  • The wide grip variation - Place your hands further apart than you typically would with a standard chin up or pull up. This heavy-duty position works out your arms and chest.
  • Kicking variation - Add some momentum into your routine. Place your hands in an overhand grip, shoulder width apart. Once in position, pull your legs back and try to create an arc in your body. Pull your legs forward while swinging your body upwards.
  • The chin-up - Chin-ups are the most commonly used variations of pull-ups. Place your palms facing towards you, dip your chin and proceed to pull yourself up.
  • The Muscle-up - Instead of just having your chin pass the bar, push your chest up past the bar.
  • The L-sit - Here, the body is held in a seated position, similar to an L shape during a workout. You should have a neutral grip position which will allow you to pull your body weight effortlessly.

Are there different types of pull-up bars?
