Reach up and grip the bar with one hand closer to you and the other further away, in an overhand grip. Your hands should be shoulder-width apart, forming a line across your body.
Pull your body up towards the bar while twisting your torso towards the hand that is closer to you. Your aim is to touch your shoulder to the bar.
Lower your body back down to the starting position in a controlled manner, ensuring to keep your body straight and not to swing.
Repeat the exercise on the other side by switching your hand positions and twisting your torso in the opposite direction.
Pro Tip
**Warm Up**: Before you start your commando pull-ups, make sure to warm up properly. This can include a light cardio session or dynamic stretches to get your muscles ready for the exercise. Jumping straight into commando pull-ups without a warm-up can strain your muscles and lead to injuries. **Grip Strength**: Commando pull-ups require a good amount of grip strength. If you're struggling with the exercise, it might be because your grip strength needs improvement. Consider incorporating grip strengthening exercises
