Commando Pull-up

Secondary Muscles

Equipment

1

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.

2

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.

3

Lower your body back down to the starting position in a controlled manner, ensuring to keep your body straight and not to swing.

4

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
