Wide-Grip Pullup for Men

Wide-Grip Pullup

  1. Grab the chinup bar with an overhand grip that's about 1 1/2 times shoulder width. Hang at arm's length. You should return to this position--known as a dead hang--each time you lower your body back down.
  2. Pull your chest to the bar. Once the top of your chest touches the bar, pause, then slowly lower your body back to a dead hang.

Tip You can position your hands even wider, but as you do, the strain on your shoulder joint will increase.
