Instructions
1. Attach suspension straps to a high anchor point ensuring they are secure.
2. Stand under the anchor point and grab the handles with an overhand grip, arms fully extended and feet slightly in front of you.
3. Initiate the pull by contracting your back and biceps, pulling your body upwards towards the handles.
4. As you pull up, bend your knees and hips to keep your lower body under control and to assist you as needed.
5. Continue pulling until your chin reaches above the handles, or as high as you can comfortably go.
6. Pause briefly at the top of the movement, then slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position with a controlled motion.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Make sure to maintain a straight back and avoid swinging or using momentum to complete the pull-up. Adjust the difficulty by positioning your feet; the closer they are to under the anchor point, the harder the exercise will be.
