Struggling with pull-ups?
.
Let’s fix that.
.
First, what’s a proper pull-up?
.
Start from a dead hang, pull yourself up until your neck reaches the bar, and maintain a hollow body position—no swinging, just control.
.
Here’s why you might be stuck:
.
1. Weak Core
.
Your core stabilizes your spine during the pull-up. If it’s weak, you can’t generate enough power.
.
Try this: lie down, brace your core, lift your legs slightly, and engage your pelvic floor (like a kegel). Inhale for 4 seconds, exhale for 4. Do 3 sets with 20-second rests.
.
2. Over-reliance on Your Arms
.
Pull-ups aren’t just about arm strength. Your lats—your big back muscles—need to do the heavy lifting.
.
Practice isometric holds at the top of a low pull-up bar and focus on slow, controlled lowering. Initiate each pull-up by pulling your shoulder blades down and back.
.
With these tweaks, you’ll hit your pull-up goals faster.
