Exercise Description

The narrow grip pull up exercise targets your biceps harder than regular pull-ups. It builds serious arm strength and adds size to your biceps while hitting your back.

How To

1. Hang from a pull-up bar with hands 6-8 inches apart, palms facing away 2. Start from a dead hang with arms fully extended and shoulders engaged 3. Pull yourself up by driving elbows down and back, focus on squeezing biceps 4. Pull until your chin clears the bar, pause briefly at the top 5. Lower yourself slowly back to the starting position with control for the narrow grip pull up

Form Tips

• Keep your hands closer than shoulder-width for the narrow grip pull up to target biceps better • Pull with your biceps, not just your back - think about driving elbows to your ribs • Don't swing or use momentum - control the movement up and down • Keep your core tight throughout the entire narrow grip pull up movement

Common Mistakes

• Placing hands too wide apart defeats the purpose of the narrow grip pull up • Using momentum or swinging to get up instead of pure muscle power • Dropping down too fast instead of controlling the negative portion of the narrow grip pull up
