The double pause pull up builds crazy lat strength and muscle control. You pause twice during each rep, which makes your muscles work harder and grow faster.
1. Hang from a pull-up bar with hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart 2. Pull yourself up halfway and pause for 2-3 seconds - this is your first pause in the double pause pull up 3. Continue pulling up until your chin clears the bar, then pause again for 2-3 seconds 4. Lower yourself back down to the halfway point and pause for 2-3 seconds during your double pause pull up descent 5. Complete the movement by lowering yourself all the way down to the starting hanging position
• Keep your core tight throughout the entire double pause pull up to prevent swinging • Focus on controlled movements - the pauses are what make this exercise so effective • Pull your shoulder blades down and back before you start pulling up • Don't rush the double pause pull up - the longer pauses create more muscle tension
• Rushing through the pauses instead of holding them for the full 2-3 seconds • Using momentum or swinging your body to complete the double pause pull up movement • Not going through the full range of motion from dead hang to chin over bar
