Pull Up Training Advice and the Best Home Gym Equipment.

The pull up is one of the most effective strength exercises you can do, working back, shoulders, arms and core. Once you can do them, the best part is that you can perform them easily with minimal equipment (or none if you’re lucky enough to live near a park or something with a horizontal bar you can work with!) Getting better at pull ups is a simple as doing more pull ups, but he hardest thing is mastering the first one. The pull up gets a bad reputation as causing injuries, but the real reason is due to underlying weakness or lack of mobility through the shoulders or poor training technique. Stick around to learn the common mistakes beginners make when performing pull ups, the best way to progress through your training and of course, the best type of pull up bar for your home.
