# Pull-Up
The vertical pull — from a dead hang, pull the chin over the bar and
lower all the way back down.
- **Category:** Main circuit
- **Type:** Bodyweight vertical pull
- **Targets:** Lats, biceps, mid-back, grip
- **Prescription:** 3 × as many strict reps as possible
## Setup
Grip the bar just outside shoulder-width, palms away. Hang with straight
arms, shoulders active (pulled slightly down), knees bent or legs long.
## Execution
1. Drive the elbows down toward the ribs to pull the body up.
2. Chin clears the bar — chest toward it, not chin poking over.
3. Lower with control to a full dead hang every rep.
## Cues
- Start every rep from straight arms; half hangs don't count.
- Think "elbows to pockets", not "chin to bar".
- Quiet body — no swinging or kicking.
## Common Mistakes
- Kipping and swinging for extra reps.
- Stopping the descent halfway.
- Shrugging the shoulders to the ears at the top.
## Progression
Use the assisted pull-up machine or a band until 5 strict reps come
easily; then add reps, then hang weight from a belt.
