Strict Pull-ups
How to Do
How to Do Strict Lift
The strict lift 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 strict lift.
Beginning
Beginning Strict Lift
1. The traditional stringent pull-up begins with your feet off the ground, palms facing away, and arms fully stretched hanging vertically from a bar.
2. After raising your chin above the bar, the exercise is considered complete.
Movement
Strict Lift Movement
1. Hang totally straight from the bar in a dead hang.
2. After that, tighten your abs and take a hollow position.
3. Remove your shoulder shrug.
4. Pull your elbows all the way down until your chest is in contact with the bar.
5. Lower yourself back down into the hollow posture, under control.
6. Before returning to the hollow posture and continuing the exercise, take a moment to relax.
