How can a novice start from scratch learning how to pull up on a horizontal bar? An easy-to-understand approach to training pull-ups that can help you quickly build the largest back muscles.
How is pulling up learned?
One of the best (and least expensive!) physical exercises for developing a broad back, well-defined shoulders, strong wrists, muscular biceps, and an athletic figure is the pull-up on the horizontal bar. Unfortunately, pull-ups are the hardest exercise for inexperienced athletes, particularly females and those who are overweight.
The technique for this exercise can be learned in a variety of ways, ranging from using specific rubber straps and pull-ups with insufficient amplitude to doing the exercise with the assistance of a trainer or training partner. However, mastering the ability to sense the back's muscles is a prerequisite for learning how to pull up properly.
Appropriate pull-ups for novices
as learning to draw up on a horizontal bar, novices frequently run into the issue of not knowing which muscles to use directly and not feeling the back muscles at all as they are pulling up. Because of this, these newcomers get into the habit of incorrectly pulling up and instead "pulling" the body up with their arm muscles.
The pull of the upper block while sitting is the most effective workout that makes it easier for novices to learn to "feel" their back; in fact, it's a pull-up imitation done on a simulator. You can learn to pull up with a moderate working weight, slow workout speed, and focus on technique.
Upper block traction and pull-up
The position of the hands is crucial for proper form when pulling up the upper block while seated in the simulator. The shoulder blades should be brought together, the shoulders should be slightly lowered back, and the entire palm, including the thumb, should lie firmly on the crossbar from above. Furthermore, it is crucial to begin the exercise in the right position.
Seated on the simulator bench, lock your knees and grasp the crossbar with the grip mentioned above, ensuring that your entire hand lies on top of it. The gaze is forward, the arms are at ease, the back is open, and the chest is angled upward. Keep in mind that the weight is too heavy if you find it difficult to maintain it in the beginning position.
