A very good exercise for your back. It builds your back very well and also works out your biceps too because it’s a compound movement. At first it will be hard to pull yourself up even. But when your back gets stronger you can add weights and do weighted pull ups. You can do this exercise at home (if there is such a possibility) or at the gym.
Here is how to do it:
You goal is to pull yourself up to the bar and then lower yourself down.
1. Hang on the pull up bar. Your arms should be straight. Wider than your shoulder width and palms facing away.
2. Pull yourself up until your chin is a little higher than the pull up bar. Keep your legs in line with your upper body.
3. Then slowly lower yourself down.
Repeat.
Simple but hard to do exercise! If you don’t have the strength to do at least one pull up, then do lat pull downs on the machine at the gym! This will strengthen your back and you should be able to do pull ups later. Some gyms have machines that can assist you while doing pull ups
