Exercise Description

The grip ball pull up exercise builds serious lat strength while crushing your grip. It's way harder than regular pull ups and builds functional strength.

How To

1. Hang two grip balls at shoulder width from the pull up bar 2. Grab each grip ball with a firm grip and hang with arms fully extended 3. Pull your body up by driving your elbows down and back until chest reaches the grip balls 4. Hold the top position for a second while squeezing your lats hard 5. Lower yourself slowly back to the starting position with full arm extension

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight throughout the entire grip ball pull up movement • Focus on pulling with your lats, not just your arms • Don't swing or use momentum during the grip ball pull up • Keep your shoulders pulled back and down at all times

Common Mistakes

• Using momentum or swinging to complete the grip ball pull up rep • Not going through the full range of motion on each rep • Letting your grip ball pull up form break down when you get tired
