How to Do
How to Do Pull-ups with a Close Grip
The pull-ups with a close grip should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the pull-ups with a close grip.
Beginning
Beginning Pull-ups with a Close Grip
Begin by standing with your back and spine straight beneath a pullup bar.
Movement
Pull-ups with a Close Grip Movement
1. With each hand, reach up and grab the bar. Thumbs should point in the same direction, and your grip should be wider than your body.
2. Your arms and body should create a Y when properly positioned. Each arm should be 30 to 45 degrees away from your body, but not more than a 45-degree angle.
3. Pull your body higher towards the bar by looking straight ahead.
4. After a little pause, return to your original position.
Benefits
Pull-ups with a Close Grip Benefits
A close-grip pull-up is a wonderful upper-body workout that strengthens the back, arms, and core muscles while also developing the inner lats. Close-grip pull-ups put more emphasis on your biceps and chest muscles, resulting in a more effective upper-body workout.

90% of obesity is driven by diet, not lack of movement. Your body has a "Metabolic Thermostat." When you exercise more, it burns less energy elsewhere to keep you stable.
